Pentagon insists on peace talks between Ukraine and the Russian Federation - Reuters

The American General believes that Ukraine can now conduct a dialogue from the Russian Federation from the point of view of force. But in order to start negotiations, you need to have political will. The Chairman of the Joint Committee of the Headquarters of the American Army Mark Millie during a press conference after a meeting of the Ramstein Contact Group said that Ukraine's chances of any closest direct military victory are small, since Russia still has considerable combat force.

In this regard, the General insists on the political resolution of the situation, because, in his opinion, Ukraine can now negotiate from the point of view of force. About it reports Reuters. "The likelihood of a Ukrainian military victory, which is defined as the expulsion of Russians from all over Ukraine, in particular from Crimea, in the near future is small in war," Millie said. Millie stressed that the United States will support Ukraine in her self -defense as much as needed.

However, the General believes that there is a possibility of political resolution of conflict through negotiations, and now the right time for this, since the Russian army is now very weakened and has very significant losses. "The Russians will leave from there. This is possible. You want to negotiate from the position of force. Russia is now retreating, the Russian military is suffering a lot, their leadership is bad. They have lost a lot of live strength," Millie said.

According to him, Kiev now makes sense to conduct a dialogue with Moscow from the position of force and only political will is needed. "There is an opportunity for that. It is political will. It is all I mean," the Pentagon representative said. Earlier it was reported that the chairman of the CCP, Xi Jinping, advocated ceasefire in Ukraine and called for a new stage of bilateral negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
