Russia continues to kill the civilian population, destroy cities and critical infrastructure of Ukraine, despite the fact that periodically the Kremlin declares its readiness for peace

negotiations

with Russia.  

Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the President's Office, wrote about this on Twitter.

"To those who suggest that Putin/Lavrov's "peace initiatives" be taken into account, I would like to remind you: right now Russia is "negotiating", killing the residents of Kherson, erasing Bakhmut from the face of the earth, destroying the energy sector of Kyiv/Odesa, torturing civilians in Melitopol... Russia wants with impunity to kill. Shall we allow it?", the post says

Peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine

ISW believes that Putin is using calls for a negotiation process to

isolate Ukraine from the support of Western partners

.

In addition, he needs any ceasefire and window for dialogue to give his troops time to recover, depriving Ukraine of the initiative.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken expressed his belief that

Russia does not want peace talks

.

After Volodymyr Zelensky announced the "peace formula", dictator Putin tripled the terror.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres believes that negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will not take place in the near future, but he hopes that

the war in Ukraine will end in 2023.

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov is also convinced that Russia's attempts to start peace talks with Ukraine

are a large-scale information attack

on Western countries.
