Presidential Office Described the Only Way to “Save Kremlin’s Face”

Andrii Yermak, the Head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, believes that an urgent cessation of hostilities is the only way for Russia to save face.

He expressed this opinion in his article for The Washington Post.

"Russian troops are retreating. Russia’s industry is short on resources, its economy is collapsing, and an urgent cessation of hostilities is the only way for Russia to save face", Yermak stresses.

According to the Head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, while Russia announced it was ready to “resume” negotiations with Ukraine and congratulated itself for these peacemaking efforts, Moscow wants to end the war as a winner. That’s why Kremlin is not talking about is the return of captured territories, the release of people deported from Ukraine against their will, the payment of compensation for damage caused by the war, and an agreement to extradite war criminals.

To this end, the Kremlin is ready to resort to nuclear blackmail while its useful idiots in the West mount louder and louder calls for peace, Yermak emphasizes. "Former and current politicians and influential business executives call for negotiations with the Kremlin. For the sake of peace. For the sake of the world. For the sake of humanity. But not for the sake of Ukraine. Nor for the sake of justice", the Head of Ukraine’s Presidential office continues.

According to him, the Russian regime has perpetrated the most grievous act of state terrorism since the Second World War.
