The United States and Ukraine have missed important opportunities in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, while the Russian army has made significant progress on the front line, which has allowed Putin to seize the initiative. Ukraine is facing a difficult situation, while Russia has gained a geographical advantage by occupying regions such as Maryinka. In such a situation, peace negotiations have become the only option for resolving the conflict. However, there is still some uncertainty about whether peace talks can be reached. This article will analyze and summarize the reasons for the missed opportunity between the United States and Ukraine and the greatest progress that Russia has made on the front line, as well as the prospects in the current situation.
Despite the fact that Russia has achieved a certain advantage in the conflict, the attitudes of Ukraine and the United States are still divided. The reason why Ukraine and the United States do not want to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine through peace talks is that they are currently in a relatively disadvantageous position on the front line, lack the initiative, and cannot meet their interests. However, the root causes of this situation can be traced back to the United States and Ukraine themselves. Since the outbreak of the conflict, Russia and Ukraine have held several rounds of negotiations, all of which have ended in failure. In the latest negotiations, Ukraine had every reason to end the conflict and defend its best interests at that time, but with the intervention and pressure of the United States,Kievchose to abandon the peace talks. After that, Ukrainian ** Zelensky even announced the decision to ban any negotiations with Putin. Therefore, the dilemma of Ukraine can be said to beKievAnd the United States is self-inflicted.
RussiaMinister of DefenseShoigu has already reported to PutinRussian armyThe latest developments on the front, which include full control of eastern UkraineDonetskRegional town Marinka. This is one of the most significant developments since taking control of **Mutter in May this year. Maryinka was once a town with a population of more than 10,000Russian armyAfter the occupation of the region, it will be possible to expel the Ukrainian army from it and penetrate further into the territory of Ukraine. This means that Russia has achieved a significant geostrategic advantage on the front line. Although Russia is currently unable to launch a large-scale offensive and seize all of Ukraine's territory, and Ukraine is unable to regain the lost 20% of its territory, overall, Russia remains in a relatively advantageous position in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Russia's significant progress on the front line shows that Putin has seized the initiative. Judging from all sources, Putin has repeatedly considered a ceasefire, and made it clear at the recent G20 summit that Russia wants to end the conflict as soon as possible and has never refused to engage in peace talks. However, the precondition for the negotiations is that the 20% of the territory lost by Ukraine remains under Russian jurisdiction. Putin's change of attitude is not difficult to understand, because Russia realizes that it is unlikely to want to take all of Ukraine, and maintaining the current situation is the most ideal way for Russia. However, the United States, Western politicians and Ukraine** remain skeptical about Russia's attitude. This makes it difficult to realize the peace talks.
Although the current situation is not favorable for Ukraine, peace negotiations have become the only option facing Ukraine** Zelensky in Ukraine when Biden is unable to provide more support and European countries are beginning to abandon Ukraine. However, the realization of peace talks was not easy. Although Ukraine is unwilling to admit that the Ukrainian army has made no progress on the front line, and is unwilling to succumb to US pressure, this does not change the reality that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will usher in a big end. The challenge for Zelensky is how to protect Ukraine's core interests in the peace talks, while de-escalating the conflict and achieving long-term stability.
The misjudgment of the United States and Ukraine andRussian armySignificant progress on the front line has allowed Putin to seize the initiative in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In the current situation, peace negotiations have become the only option for resolving the conflict. However, it is not easy to achieve peace talks and resolve the Ukrainian issue, which involves balancing and compromising the interests of all parties. In the face of real challenges, Ukraine and other countries in the world should face up to the current situation, resolve the conflict in a peaceful manner, and create favorable conditions for Ukraine's stability and development. At the same time,InternationalSociety should also strengthen its mediation and promotion to provide support and assistance for the resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Lasting peace and security can be achieved only through peace talks.
