The plan to withdraw Russian troops from Crimea is 'unrealistic'.
(Baonghean.vn) - The desire to achieve a breakthrough by withdrawing Russian troops from Crimea is unrealistic for Kyiv. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering significant losses.
The Italian newspaper Il Sussidiario quoted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as mentioning negotiations, but only if Kyiv's army advances to the Crimean border.
Commenting on this statement, journalist Gianandrea Gaiani of Il Sussidiario stated that, based on the current situation, this is an unlikely scenario, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering significant losses.
The conflict dragged on, and the Ukrainian army's counterattack proved fruitless, despite increasing drone attacks on Russian territory.
Analyzing the Ukrainian President's statement, journalist Gianandrea Gaiani said: "Zelensky didn't say he was ready to negotiate on Crimea. It seems what he meant was that when Ukrainian troops reach the Crimean border, a peace agreement will be signed. Under that agreement, Russian troops would withdraw from the region without fighting."
Journalist Gianandrea Gaiani argues that the situation Zelensky is describing is completely unrealistic, because Ukraine has not yet crossed the Russian border and has not conquered the northern territories of Crimea.
"The Ukrainian president has made an assumption about the future he hopes for, but it is not at all close to reality," journalist Gianandrea Gaiani said.
The Italian journalist further assessed that Kyiv's claims of a breakthrough on the front line against Russia do not correspond to the reality of the battlefield. Furthermore, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are evident. While Kyiv claims to have breached the first line of defense, it should be remembered that Russia still has three more layers of defense to overcome.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly stated his desire to retake Crimea. Previously, he announced a list of preparatory steps for "liberating" the peninsula, promising to quickly reintegrate Crimea into the "structure of the Ukrainian state."
From Russia's perspective, Moscow called Kiev's intentions "suicidal," noting that it is impossible to seize territory from a powerful nuclear power.
