Putin has expressed his intention to hold talks with Ukraine in Beijing, considering diplomacy as a special operation, just like war, said Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, citing his Telegram.
Podolyak noted that Putin uses “negotiation” activity to mask ultimatum demands to recognize “the defeat of the Russian Federation.”
At the same time, Russia continues to attack cities in Donbas with missiles, which proves that his calls for “peace” are not genuine.
Podolyak emphasizes that any truce will be used to deploy forces, as for Putin, peace is no different from war.
