Western Politician: Only Negotiations Can Save Ukraine From Failure
(Baonghean.vn) - The Kiev government needs to negotiate with Moscow soon, otherwise the Russian army will crush the Ukrainian armed forces, British politician George Galloway commented.
"I believe that the political-military situation in Ukraine has reached a critical turning point. It seems that some units (Ukrainian army) are retreating after a long period of hostilities. The remaining units, I believe, will follow suit. Otherwise, they will be crushed by the Russian armed forces, possibly in a few days, or even less than a week," the politician noted.

According to him, only negotiations can save Ukraine from defeat. He called NATO's "incursion" into Ukrainian territory the main obstacle to a diplomatic solution to the conflict. "So the prerequisite is not only that Ukraine abandons its application for NATO membership. But also that NATO never has a presence in Ukraine, neither in terms of weapons, nor in terms of personnel, nor in terms of its geostrategic worldview. Ukraine must become a truly neutral country," Galloway concluded.
Moscow has repeatedly indicated that it is ready for negotiations, but Kiev has imposed a ban on negotiations with them at the legislative level. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky argued that "there will be no Minsk-3". The press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that such statements "fully confirm" Kiev's unwillingness to negotiate./.
