| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The statement by the Ukrainian side that they are ready to sign a peace agreement only on the condition that Russia agrees to reparations is in fact a refusal to negotiate, since this condition is unacceptable for Moscow, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Novikov told Izvestiaon November 27. “You could call this idea crazy if the people who put it forward weren’t so calculating,” he said. The deputy noted that in Kyiv with such a statement they want to portray their readiness to make concessions, but at the same time they understand that Moscow will not conduct negotiations that involve paying reparations. Novikov also recalled that the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, has still not canceled his decree prohibiting negotiations with Russia. “Therefore, in fact, this is a form of saying: “Yes, let’s negotiate,” in fact, a form of saying “no,” because negotiations in such a context are unrealistic ,” Novikov said. As Regnum reported , on November 27, Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Minister of Justice Irina Mudra said that Kiev will never sign a peace agreement if it does not contain a condition on reparations to Ukraine. Dean of the Faculty of Media Communications of the Moscow State Institute of Culture Yuri Kot, in an interview with IA Regnum, commenting on this statement, said that representatives of the Ukrainian side began to bargain on peace terms. The expert noted that such Ukrainian politicians need to be replaced by those who are ready to capitulate in order to save lives, and not to receive payments. More from regnum.ru Political scientist points to Ukraine’s desire to “buy” negotiations with Russia When Ukraine announces peace negotiations only after the payment of certain monetary reparations from Russia, this is evidence of the bargaining that some Ukrainian officials are ready to engage in. This point of viewwas shared in a conversation with IA Regnum by political scientist, dean of the Faculty of Media Communications of the Moscow State Institute of Culture Yuri Kot. Earlier, Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice Irina Mudra said that Ukraine would never sign a peace agreement with Russia without paying reparations. According to her, the world will also allegedly not agree to negotiations and will not lift sanctions from Russia until Moscow compensates for the damage to Ukraine. Political scientist Yuri Kot noted that the deputy minister’s words are similar to bargaining, since she no longer completely denies the possibility of negotiations with Moscow, as the Ukrainian leadership does, but allows an agreement in exchange for monetary compensation. “They are already bargaining. How wise she is - what a fool she is! I’m ready to kill millions of Ukrainian men just to shine on the layouts of magazines with interviews. She now needs to think not about reparations, as they used to think about money all the time, but how to save her skin, because she is an accomplice to this global crime. It is clear that as long as such politicians, brought by the West as a result of negative selection of the Ukrainian political establishment, remain in power, then, of course, there is no need to talk about any kind of peace,” Kot noted. He emphasized that such politicians and civil servants in Ukraine need to be changed, since with them it will never be possible to reach an agreement. The political scientist explained that modern Ukraine needs people who are ready to sign surrender in order to save the lives of Ukrainian people. The political scientist also noted that the deputy head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice hopes for reparations, which in November last year the UN General Assembly indicated in the draft resolution on compensation for damage. According to the political scientist, with the passage of time and significant changes in the position of forces at the front, Kyiv and its Western patrons have less and less leverage over Moscow. Therefore, there can be no talk of any reparations. “The UN can create its own virtual reality and stamp decrees. But by what methods do they want to force us to pay something there? They cannot defeat us; in economic terms, their methods also do not work against us. No matter what, they don’t have any resource to force us to agree to their strange conditions,” said Kot. He noted that, as historical experience shows, it is always better for the enemy side to immediately agree to the first conditions of the Kremlin and especially Russian leader Vladimir Putin . “Because the next time you talk about this topic, you will discuss it from much worse events. After all, Ukraine had the opportunity to stop everything during the previous negotiations; it just needed to recognize its neutral status. And now they are losing territory en masse. And soon they will no longer have Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and the rest. Because everything must be freed from Nazism,” the political scientist concluded. The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, previously signed a decree banning Ukraine from conducting peace negotiations with Moscow. In November 2023, Zelensky once again stated that he was “not ready” for negotiations with Russia. The West is not yet ready to end the Ukrainian conflict, and therefore Zelensky continues to deny the possibility of a truce, noted Alexander Asafov , a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, political scientist, in a conversation with Regnum . At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized that the country has never refused dialogue with Ukraine. On November 24, the leader of the Servant of the People faction of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, David Arakhamia , admitted that the Ukrainian delegation, during negotiations in the spring of 2022, was ready to agree to Russia’s condition of neutrality and sign a peace agreement. According to him, this was prevented by the then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson . He convinced the Ukrainian representatives not to agree to anything. |
