President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Calls For A New Peace Summit In November
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has welcomed Russia’s participation in his request for a new peace summit in November. But Western diplomats and officials are arguing over whether talks may soon begin or whether the Russian and Ukrainian armies are simply too worn out to fight any longer.
Though some conversations allude to potential peace negotiations in the future, the immediate goal is to reshape the battlefield to Ukraine’s advantage.
In private, European and American officials acknowledge that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not open to serious peace talks, despite Zelenskyy’s advocacy for communication.
The latest military victories of Ukraine, which include neutralizing Russia’s Black Sea naval fleet and taking over portions of Kursk, have tilted the scales. Additionally, the Ukrainian military has attacked crucial economic infrastructure by targeting Russian oil facilities.
Diplomatic talks about enabling Ukraine to use long-range missiles to launch strikes farther into Russian territory have been triggered by this military advancement.
While U.S. President Joe Biden has been hesitant to permit such assaults using American weapons, Britain and France seem to be in favor of the notion.
Still, the Biden administration hasn’t stopped modifying its assistance in light of the changing battlefield.
The results of Ukraine’s persistent military pressure, especially its unexpected actions in Kursk, may have an impact on upcoming peace negotiations and eventually decide whether or not Russia would engage in negotiations.
Recently, Zelenskyy has spoken out more in favor of a potential settlement—but only on conditions that he and the majority of Ukrainians can agree with.
Putin’s stated conditions are seen by Ukraine as a demand for surrender.
The president of Ukraine has declared that he will propose a “victory plan” to Biden, Harris, and Trump this month to “influence Russia’s decision to end this war.”
The plan would be to apply pressure on Moscow on a psychological, political, diplomatic, and — most urgently — military level.
Zelenskyy will also be speaking at the second worldwide peace summit of the year in November.
Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of the Ukrainian parliament’s foreign affairs committee, stated that since this is an attrition-based war, convincing Putin that Ukraine and its allies are prepared to engage in a protracted military campaign is crucial to advancing peace negotiations.
Gentle Reminder: Be careful how you use your authority and influence, be wise, and treat others with respect.
