| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Ukraine will be forced to negotiate peace with Russia on Moscow's terms in a year if Kyiv does not receive additional military assistance from the United States. This was stated by CIA Director Robert Burns at a hearing in the Intelligence Committee of the US House of Representatives. According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin is interested in negotiations in which he can dictate his own terms. He (Vladimir Putin - editor's note) is interested in negotiations where he can dictate terms. I think that without additional help, this is the future that can await Ukraine in a year from now,” said the head of the CIA. We can dictate terms as well as Russia, Bill. At the same time, Burns warned that the lack of military assistance to Ukraine will lead to further retreat of Ukrainian troops and territorial losses this year. As reported by Regnum news agency, the Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry have repeatedly noted that Russia is ready for a peaceful resolution of the situation in Ukraine, subject to the fulfillment of all the requirements set before the start of the Northern Military District, and subject to the recognition of new territorial realities - the return of four regions to Russia in 2022. In November 2023, the leader of the faction of the Servant of the People party of the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky in the Verkhovna Rada, David Arakhamia, admitted that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict could have ended in the spring of 2022 if Kiev had agreed to neutrality. He explained that Russia would agree to a peaceful resolution of the conflict if Ukraine abandoned the idea of joining NATO. A meeting of the working groups of Russia and Ukraine on the peaceful resolution of the conflict took place in Istanbul on March 29, 2022. Assistant to the Russian President Vladimir Medinsky then said that following the results of the head-to-head round, Kiev expressed its readiness to abandon attempts to return Crimea and Sevastopol by military means. Ukraine refused further action. Arakhamia added that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also intervened in the situation. He came to Kyiv and insisted on continuing hostilities. On February 8, Putin, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, said that he did not know why the former British Prime Minister tried to persuade Kiev to abandon peace negotiations. The head of state called it absurd and even sad that Kiev submitted to Johnson’s persuasion or demand. At the same time, on March 12, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the Kiev regime consistently denies the possibility of any negotiations on resolving the conflict. This is how he commented on the statements of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who had previously stated that the capitulation mentioned by Pope Francis would not bring peace to Ukraine and that negotiations would be required to return peace. |
