Any compromise with Russia is a direct path to the next stages of the war-Mikhail Podolyak in an interview with La Repubblica

The Ukrainian peace formula should be the basis for the end of the war, and any attempt at dialogue or compromise with the aggressor country-Russia-will lead to further escalation. This was stated by the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak in an interview with the Italian edition of La Repubblica. “First, the Russian Federation will talk about the true conditions of the end of the war solely on the battlefield.

And after such a "conversation" offered by our armed forces, she will not have a choice. Secondly, the formula of peace will be supported by the world democratic community that sets the logistics of the only possible end of the war, ”said Mikhail Podolyak. In addition, he said, after all the large -scale destruction and murder that Russia has done in Ukraine, our people are not compromised with the Kremlin.

The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office reminded that for almost nine years Ukraine has tried to negotiate at the table of negotiations, but as a result it received a full -scale war, which has not seen a world since the Second World War. “Any compromise with the Russian Federation is a direct path to the next stages of the war, escalation, and a significant strengthening of the role of global terrorism. The main point of the peace plan is withdrawing Russian troops from Ukraine.

The conversation with the Russians will only start after that, ”Mikhail Podolyak emphasized. According to him, there are no other real plans, except the Ukrainian formula of peace, and Kiev will not accept other proposals because they are provided with the support of the Russian Federation. “Any other initiative today is an attempt to sell a Russian plan, where a key point is an immediate ceasefire, but without deriving the Russian occupation group.

This is a completely unacceptable position, not aimed at peace, but for ensuring, in fact, the victory of Russia. And most importantly, why discuss the initiatives at which the figure of the Russians and their unwillingness to take responsibility for enormous crimes against humanity? ” - said the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office.

Mikhail Podolyak recalled the importance of the formal fixing of the formula of peace proposed by President Vladimir Zelensky in order to prevent the appearance of other "peaceful plans" aimed at blurring the only correct path until the end of the war. It is for this purpose that Ukraine initiates the Peace Summit in July, which was voiced at the G7 Summit in Japan.

According to Mikhail Podolyak, the Ukrainian formula of peace is the basis of planned peace talks, and the participants of the summit can supplement with their useful ideas. But the key is the first point - the exit of the Russian Federation from all over Ukraine, including Donbass and Crimea. “Today, the leaders of world democracy are more unique in the understanding of the nature of the war, the position of Russia and the right way to end the war.

We understand what tools you need: weapons, legal mechanism for liable for crime of aggression, reparation and restoration, open exchange of prisoners and the return of deported citizens. The main thing is the military defeat of Russia and the indispensable return of the occupied territories to us, ” - said the adviser to the head of the office of the Head of State. According to Mikhail Podolyak, representatives of Ukraine, G7 and Northern Europe are working on a peaceful summit.

The range of participants is gradually expanding, so dozens of states of the democratic world are expected. All countries interested in returning the world to fair global rules, international law and respect for the sovereignty of states can join.

Answering the question of whether Russia is a participant in the future peaceful summit, the adviser to the Presidential Office said: “And what is the meaning of inviting Russians somewhere after they deliberately attack another country, deliberately violate international law, deliberately fire the civilian population with rockets? The Russians are absolutely not ready to recognize their involvement in a large-scale crime and use any international site solely to spread their hatred.

" Regarding any requirements for Ukraine's membership in the international organizations made by the Russian Federation, as Mikhail Podolyak emphasized, only the Ukrainian people will independently determine their future, membership in international organizations and security associations. "Russia's sovereignty extends exclusively to Russia's territory within the internationally recognized borders," he said.

According to the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, a common border with the aggressor state, which has been running a war against Ukraine for more than nine years, requires a strengthening of militarization in order to curb its aggressive sentiment. “Russia will never change. It will always be aggressive.
