The Belarusian president visited Russia a few days ago and after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin told the media, that he calls on Ukraine to sit at the negotiating table. If someone didn't understand – this is Putin's last warning to Kiev, writes mk.ru.
The comment of the Russian edition was made against the background of the critical shortage of ammunition and weapons in the Ukrainian forces. The US is refusing to provide $60 billion in military aid to Kiev, and Ukraine still hasn't received the promised long-destroyed F-16s.
Russia's offer to Ukraine to sit at the negotiating table can be perceived as an ultimatum. Ukraine will be able to keep at least some part of its territory.
The other question that arises is with whom the Russians will negotiate. Volodymyr Zelensky's term expires soon, and Putin may decide not to sign an agreement with him because of his expired powers.
With a high degree of probability, Putin's statement of readiness for negotiations is indeed the last. Because otherwise the Russian army will destroy the Ukrainian forces.
Moscow is already openly talking about the capitulation of Kiev, taking advantage of the insufficient military aid of Western countries. Yes, actually in the West they already understand the situation. Moreover, Vasyl Nebenzya spoke quite unequivocally at the UN tribune: “Very soon, the only topic of any international meetings about Ukraine will be the unconditional capitulation of the regime in Kiev”.
And against this background, Iran for the first time in its history attacked Israel directly from its territory, and not through groups abroad. Netanyahu has only two options: he can only stay in power by continuing the war, or he will become a political corpse. This is reminiscent of the situation with Zelensky, mk.ru also writes.
