Both sides are exhausted . But unfortunately, the goals of this special operation are unclear, and the further we go, the more we see an unwillingness to make peace and sit down at the negotiating table.
The invasion of the main military forces into the territory of another state in order to subjugate it to their will has always been called war and will be called so, despite the fact that Putin and his supporters are in another virtual world and, in order to convey their true intentions, they call things by other names.
Now Ukraine has been defending itself from the superior forces of the Russian occupiers for the second year. If anyone has not yet understood, Putin is trying to seize the territory of the entire Ukraine and destroy it as a state. Before the invasion, he also said that such a nation as the Ukrainians does not exist, and therefore intends to force the Ukrainians to be called Russians by force, through repression and massacres. Until Putin abandons these intentions, there can be no negotiations. Putin has already included several regions of Ukraine into the Russian Federation. What can you talk to him about then? The threat looms not only over Ukraine, but after the conquest of Ukraine, the Russian army will not stop there. Further, the threat of a similar invasion will loom over Moldova, Georgia and the Baltic states - Litaoi, Latvia and Estonia. This has finally been understood in Europe.
