Russian president Vladimir Putin and his entourage have no plans to end the war. There is currently no evidence that they are seriously considering peace or diplomacy. On the contrary, there are many indications that Russia is preparing new offensive operations and is committed to continuing the war.
This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on May 26 during his evening address.
«Today, I held a meeting of the Staff. There were intelligence reports — very thorough ones. We discussed the overall situation: the war, Russia’s intentions, the capabilities of Russia’s troops and its military and industrial complex, as well as our ability to pressure Russia and disrupt its plans. We can see from the information obtained by intelligence and from open-source data that Putin and his entourage do not plan to end the war, ” said Zelenskyy.
He stressed that there is no indication that Russia is seriously considering diplomacy or peace talks.
«On the contrary, there is ample evidence that they are preparing new offensive operations. Russia is counting on a prolonged war. And on their part, this is a blatant disregard for all those around the world who seek peace and are trying to make diplomacy work, ” Zelenskyy added.
He also expressed confidence that the intelligence services of partner countries have similar information.
«They also see these facts. And it’s important that they do not turn a blind eye, but report to their leadership. The only thing that is needed now is absolutely honest conclusions and appropriate joint pressure on Russia, ” he said.
