There war in Ukraine continues, but hopes are rising for a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel. Let’s be clear: unlike what has been circulating in recent hours, Russia does not accept the freezing of the conflictbut it’s there total willingness to negotiate. The Kremlin intervened directly to deny the indiscretion reported by Reuterswhich cited five sources, on the alleged opening of Vladimir Putin to discuss a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine with Donald Trump while ruling out making important territorial concessions and insisting that Kiev abandon its ambitions of joining NATO.
The Kremlin spokesman took care of it Dmitry Peskov to clarify: Moscow is not willing to freeze the conflict along the front lines because “it must achieve its objectives”. Focusing on the dialogue with the American president-elect, the Moscow diplomat highlighted that Putin “has said repeatedly, or, to be more precise, constantly, that he is ready for contacts and negotiations”: “This is for a start. The president also said that we do not accept any scenario of freezing this conflict, because we must achieve our goalswhich are well known to everyone.” Recall that the Kremlin said that if Trump “shows a willingness to listen to our concerns, to understand the reasons why Russia acts in this way, then the foundations for achieving peace can be created“.
It is forbidden to let our guard down, but to continue working to achieve peace, because from one day to the next everything can change. Despite his willingness – in words – to negotiate, Putin spares no threats. Thanks to “the emergence of new threats and military risks”, the Tsar sanctioned a update of nuclear doctrine in which the category of states and military alliances subject to deterrence was expanded. A list of all circumstances in which Russia reserves the right to respond with atomic weapons, including aggression by any non-nuclear state but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, or attacks on Belarus, or still the massive use of missiles or drones by Ukraine on the territory.
