This draft of the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks once let the world see the dawn of peace, but under the direct intervention of the then British Prime Minister Johnson, Ukraine finally tore up the draft, and the war finally went to a completely uncontrollable abyss!
Looking back at the content of this peace draft now, Zelensky, will he feel that "the intestines are all repentant?" ”
On March 1, the Washington Post published the draft peace signed by Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, in April 2022, and highlighted the key contents.
On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a "special military operation" against Ukraine, attacking Kyiv, eastern Ukraine, and the southern regions of Ukraine.
On April 7, 2022, the delegations of Russia and Ukraine officially held peace talks in Istanbul, the capital of Turkey.
According to the report of the United States, this peace agreement is the closest to the position of the two sides, and it is very likely to end the war, and representatives of both sides have signed the draft agreement.
The main content includes the ownership of Crimea, the relationship between Ukraine and the EU and NATO, as well as the future of Donbass and other core issues, which are mainly divided into 5 points:
In my opinion, the most important thing is actually the last two points.
No. 1: The Ukrainian army has been downsized, from 220,000 before the outbreak of the war to 85,000, and most of the heavy equipment has been reduced, involving fighter jets, long-range strikes, tanks and large-caliber artillery;
Ukraine agreed to the downsizing of the Ukrainian army, however, the Ukrainian side demanded that the number of troops be retained at 160,000 and heavy equipment should be reduced by one-third.
The second female sniper of the Ukrainian army: Ukraine can join the European Union to develop the economy, however, Ukraine cannot join NATO and other military alliances, and no NATO military forces can be deployed in Ukraine, including ** equipment and personnel;
On this point, the Ukrainian negotiating delegation at that time agreed, and Ukraine was the poorest country in Europe at that time, and urgently needed to join the EU to develop its economy.
3. To guarantee the status of the Russian language as one of the official languages of Ukraine, on an equal footing with the Ukrainian language in ** institutions and courts;
It also includes the guarantee of the use of the Russian language for normal teaching tasks in Ukrainian schools, and the prohibition of the use of the Russian language on the territory of Ukraine.
Ukrainian female soldier No. 4: The Crimean peninsula will remain under the de facto control of Russia, and the question of the future ownership of the Donbas region depends on the outcome of negotiations between Putin and Zelensky;
This point is actually an official notification to Ukraine Zelensky ** that he should no longer want to take back Crimea, and Russia will continue to substantially control Crimea.
In the Donbas region, the Russian army had not yet occupied the four regions of eastern Ukraine at that time, so the Donbas region at that time mainly included Lugansk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast, and the sovereignty of these two oblasts depended on the results of the negotiations between Putin and Zelensky.
No. 5: (Important) Russian troops will withdraw from other Ukrainian territories occupied after February 24, 2022.
From the outbreak of the war on February 24, 2022, to the preliminary peace draft between Russia and Ukraine on April 7, 2022, the Russian army is on the offensive at this stage.
On April 7, the capital Kyiv has not been completely unbesieged, and the Russian army is still besieging Kyiv.
After the outbreak of the war, another of the elite paratroopers of the Russian army who attacked Antonov Airport was the Battle of Mariupol, when the Ukrainian army had been surrounded in the Mariupol steel plant, and the Russian army was capable of annihilating it, and later the Russian army accepted the Ukrainian army's request for peace talks and accepted the surrender of the Ukrainian army.
Generally speaking, at this stage, the Russian army did not attack Ukraine with all its strength as it does now, except that the Russian army does have the element of underestimating the enemy, Russia does not want to defeat Ukraine, but after giving Ukraine a certain lesson, and then conduct peace negotiations.
However, the peace draft was ultimately sabotaged by then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who secretly arrived in Kyiv on April 9, 2022, and met with Zelenskyy for hours of one-on-one meetings.
The first batch of elite paratroopers of the Russian army to storm Antonov Airport According to a report by the United States**, Johnson advised Ukraine to fight to the end, promised Britain more military help, and promised that Britain would persuade NATO to provide military assistance to Ukraine immediately.
Finally, in early June 2022, Zelensky officially tore up this draft peace agreement, and there is no possibility of peace between Russia and Ukraine, and they have been fighting until now.
The war lasted 737 days, 32 NATO countries collectively supported, Ukraine lost more than 100,000 people, spent hundreds of billions of dollars, but the Ukrainian army still has not recovered the four eastern regions of Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula, and recently lost Avdiivka.
The new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Syrsky, announced in early February that the Ukrainian army would move from an offensive posture to a full-scale defense. This means that Ukraine does not rule out the loss of new territories in the future.
If Zelensky had signed this peace agreement at that time, he would have been able to keep at least 2 of the 4 regions in eastern Ukraine: Zaporozhye and Kherson, instead of most of these 2 regions being occupied by the Russian army now.
Moreover, with the prolongation of the war, Russia and Ukraine are constantly increasing the cost of the war, and neither Russia nor Ukraine can afford to lose. The chances of future peace talks are even more slim unless one side is completely defeated on the battlefield.
The author believes that as long as NATO and the United States do not officially send troops, it will be impossible to regain lost territory by relying on Ukraine's military force alone.
And if NATO and the United States officially send troops, Russia will not have any possibility of victory, and Russia can only use nuclear **.
There are always people who say that Russia cannot or dare not use nuclear **, in fact, this is overly optimistic, at the moment of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, all means can be used, after all, you can't expect a person with bread in his hand to starve himself to death!
