| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The breakdown of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations turned Ukraine into “a country of disabled people and emigrants, a country with a broken backbone - economic, political, social life, and most importantly - the moral spirit of the nation.” This opinion was expressed by the editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya media group and the RT television channel Margarita Simonyan on the air of the Evening with Vladimir Solovyov program on Rossiya 1. According to Simonyan, everything that is happening in Ukraine today could have been avoided with just one signature. The head of the Servant of the People faction in the Verkhovna Rada, David Arakhamia , did not hold back when he said that Kiev refused negotiations on the advice of ex-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson ; he told the truth, she is sure. “It turns out that hundreds of thousands of victims could have been avoided and Ukraine could not have been turned into the country of disabled people and emigrants that it has now become,” admitted Margarita Simonyan. In her opinion, Kyiv knew this, because all the “volunteers” from the so-called patriots quickly ran out. Now at the front, the media manager added, it is not brave lads who are fighting, but truckers and taxi drivers who were grabbed on the street, loaded into a UAZ and sent away. As Regnum reported , more than 1.1 million military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed or missing. This information was published by the Ukrainian TV channel “1+1”. After a call from the office of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, the channel’s management “apologized for the typo.” On November 21, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported that the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the beginning of November amounted to more than 13.7 thousand people, and the Kiev army also lost about 1,800 units of weapons and military equipment. More from regnum.ru Russia called on Britain to reveal its role in the breakdown of negotiations on Ukraine The UK authorities should answer uncomfortable questions about the breakdown of peace negotiations on Ukraine against the backdrop of revelations by the head of the faction of the pro-presidential Servant of the People party in the Verkhovna Rada, David Arakhamia . This is stated in a statement by the Russian Embassy in London. “It is therefore clear that, despite the UK’s significant contribution, the path to a negotiated solution was missed – with tragic consequences for Ukrainian statehood, the economy and the population,” the statement said. The embassy asked whether the British government would like to comment on Arakhamia's allegations. As Regnum reported , Arakhamia previously admitted that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict could have ended in the spring of 2022 if Kiev had agreed to neutrality. He said that Russia would agree to a peaceful resolution of the conflict if Ukraine abandoned the idea of joining NATO. But former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also intervened in the situation ; he came to Kiev and insisted on continuing hostilities, he explained, saying that Johnson convinced the Ukrainian authorities not to sign any agreements with Russia. Head of the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, expert of the Association of Military Political Scientists Andrei Koshkin expressed the opinion that the West is hinting to Ukraine about the need for peace with Russia in order to preserve strength to continue the fight. At the same time, the authors of Korean or German options for resolving the conflict absolutely do not take into account Russia’s position and do not think about whether Moscow agrees to any of these scenarios. According to the expert, this is highly dishonest and biased for analysts who claim a very high level of their articles. Even more from regnum.ru US said that due to refusal to negotiate, Ukraine will lose Odessa I think that Odessa and Khar'kov were already on the butcher's block. Due to the fact that the leaders of the Kiev regime refused peace negotiations with Russia, Ukraine will lose Kherson and Zaporozhye, and most likely also Kharkov and Odessa, which it would have retained in the event of negotiations, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said on November 26. “The Ukrainians had a chance to achieve peace, and then they would have had the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. But now (this will not happen. - Ed.). The Russians will never give up these areas and, most likely, will liberate Kharkov and Odessa,” Johnson said in an interview with the Dialogue works YouTube channel. The negotiations, which began in the spring of 2022, had to be continued, and now the situation for Ukraine in terms of territorial losses can only get worse, the expert added. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will probably not be able to hold out longer than February 2024, Johnson believes. As Regnum reported , on November 22, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow has never refused negotiations with Kiev. The Ukrainian authorities themselves prohibited such negotiations, Putin noted, recalling that in the spring of 2022, representatives of Kyiv initialed a peace agreement, but after the withdrawal of units of the Russian Armed Forces from Kiev, they refused to implement it. The US and German authorities want to force the leaders of the Kiev regime to negotiate peace with Moscow and therefore send Ukraine such shipments of weapons that are enough to hold the front line, but not for an offensive, noted columnists for the German newspaper Bild in their article in November 2023. Previously, the Kremlin and the Russian Foreign Ministry have repeatedly noted that Russia is ready for peace negotiations with Ukraine, provided that Kiev fulfills the requirements set before the start of a special military operation, and subject to the recognition of new territorial realities - the return of four regions to Russia in 2022. |

| #2 "Peace Negotiations" for a "Special Military Operation" ...the euphemisms are enough to make one gag. |
