Russia-Ukraine War: Putin says ceasefire, Ukraine says phony sign | WION News

Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to Halt the war in Ukraine with a negotiated ceasefire that recognizes the current Battlefield lines this is according to four Russian sources that have added that Putin is prepared to fight on if keev and the West do not respond in response to Putin Ukrainian foreign minister dimitro kouba said on social media X that the Russian leader was trying to derail a Ukrainian initiated peace Summit in Switzerland next month by using his Onre to send out phony signals about his alleged Readiness to Halt a war freezing the conflict along current lines would leave Russia in possession of substantial chunks of four Ukrainian regions but without full control of any of them such an agreement would fall short of the goals Moscow set for itself at the time and it say the four of Ukraine’s regions dones luhansk zapia and Haron according to sources Putin has cleared clearly indicated to take on NATO and EU if ke does not respond to the proposed ceasefire however Hungarian prime minister Victor Obin said fears that Russia would mount an attack on any NATO member at un founded Hungary a member of the European Union and NATO has been refusing to provide military assistance to Ukraine since Russia’s fullscale invasion in February 2022 Obin said that his country was looking looking to redefine its membership in NATO to ensure the country cannot be involved in operations outside of the military alliance’s territory the SWS peace Summit in June is aimed at unifying International opinion on how to end the war the talks were convened at the initiative of zansi where said Putin should not attend Switzerland has not invited Russia Moscow has said the talks are not credible without it being there Ukraine and Switzerland want Russian allies including China to attend the Forum Brazil and China signed a joint statement calling for peace talks in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine with the participation of both countries the document signed by selaw amorim a special advisor to Brazilian president Lula D Silva and Chinese foreign minister Wong Yi say that the countries believe negotiation is the only viable solution to the war and the crisis speaking in China on May 17th Putin say that Ukraine may use the SS talks to get a broader group of countries to back zelinsky’s demand for a total Russian withdrawal but that will be an imposed condition rather than a serious peace negotiation both Russia and Ukraine have also said they fear the other side would use any ceasefire to rearm Meanwhile the us on Friday announced a fresh trench of 200 50 million us of military aid for Ukraine including ammunition missiles mines and artillery rounds as Russia presses on with its assault on the harv region and the question that arises now is are NATO and the EU moving closer than ever to conflict with Russia Dr Gilbert drro is an international Affairs analyst author and also a historian is now joining us live from Brussels welcome to the show Doctor we have seen reports of Hungary seeking to redefine its NATO membership we have also seen some Baltic states which are NATO members together with some EU Nations marshalling up against Russia some critics are speculating a wider conflict or escalation between Russia NATO and the EU how do you see it I think it’s likely that Russia is going to push still harder against the the Ukrainian forces in the coming weeks in the hope of forestalling the conflict that you just described um the the escalation that is pending will be the introduction of f-16s into Ukraine which is now talked about for July and I think that we’re going to see some decisive moves by the Russians to prevent this happening because it would be precisely a kind of trigger for a serious escalation and the risk of direct conflict with NATO countries the the remark you made a few minutes ago that uh Russia could conceivably attack a NATO country that’s coming from EU Representatives uh you have said that that is that that is not in the cards I don’t agree it could very easily happen but only if Russia is provoked in a way that it l Demands a response if for example the f-16s are flying uh from M from mova from Romania or from Bulgaria into Ukrainian airspace and are attacking Russians Uh Russian positions then I think it is entirely thinkable entirely feasible that Russia would attack a NATO Country Doctor let’s try and decode this statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin who says he’s ready to Halt the war in Ukraine with a negotiated seafire that recognizes the current Battlefield lines and if the West doesn’t respond then he will press on with keev Ukraine has called the statement a bluff and a deterrent but what does Putin really mean by this statement well I think it comes back to what the war is all about in a couple of minutes ago you said that such a settlement would fall short of Putin’s objectives from the start of the war I disagree Putin’s objectives from the start of the war were not territorial gains for Russia and that is still the case so I think his State his assertion yesterday this took place during a press conference at his meetings with lukashenko in Minsk he answered a question of the journalist in the way that you described that he would accept a a settlement at the present line of conflict that yes indeed that would mean that Russia accepts a solution that falls short of retaking or taking the entire donbas however territorial Ambitions were never part of the Russian game plan they had two objectives and they are still underway and that is densification and demilitarization to put it in other words regime change in Ukraine That Remains the primary russal objective and if that means that they stop their offensive and freeze the con the the conflict at the present territorial situation that will be perfectly acceptable to Moscow all right I’ve been talking to Dr Gilbert do who is an international Affairs analyst he’s also an author and a historian doctor thank you very much for talking to us today for all the latest news download the we on app And subscribe to our YouTube channel
