It is possible only when Ukraine's territorial integrity is restored and Russia is inevitably defeated.
Adviser to the President's Office Mykhailo Podoliak stated that today the signing of a peace agreement with Russia would be “hopeless” and “impossible”. In an interview with NewsMaker , he explained that even an immediate ceasefire would mean that part of our territory would still be occupied.
“It will be a normal occupation with maximum destruction, killings. An immediate peace treaty … will lead to an escalation of the war after some time,” Podoliak said, adding that Russia “will definitely go further and gradually seize additional parts of Ukraine.”
A peace treaty will be possible only when Kyiv strengthens its military and negotiating positions , ie “when Ukraine's territorial integrity is restored and when Russia experiences imminent defeat “.
“Strengthening our position is possible if we get a comparable amount of weapons on the Eastern Front, inflict a tactical defeat on Russia, and then the negotiation process will be different: it will not be ultimatum, although conflict, but from the position of Ukrainian domination,” Podoliak said. span>

On May 17, the Ukrainian side confirmed suspension of talks with Russia on a peace settlement. According to OP Adviser Mykhailo Podoliak, there are three reasons for this: Moscow does not demonstrate an understanding of today's processes in the world, does not realize that in any sense the war is no longer according to its rules, schedule or plans, and can not refuse to inject domestic market. Podsaliak later said that the negotiation process would resume when Russian troops returned to the positions they had held until February 24.
