According to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, it is the world community that should put pressure on the illegitimate president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to bring him to the negotiating table to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • Zelenskyy believes that diplomacy can help return Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia.
  • Putin refuses peace talks, claiming that he does not believe in positive steps from Kyiv.
  • Ukraine is counting on the support of the West to end the war started by the Russian Federation.

Ukraine expects that the West will be able to influence Moscow

The head of state hopes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not have to return to all territories by force, losing many soldiers and equipment.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that the power of diplomacy can play a decisive role in this issue.

He also added that a weaker Russia on the battlefield would strengthen Ukraine's position at the negotiating table.

By putting pressure on Russia, I think it is possible to agree to a diplomatic settlement.

Zelenskyy also asked when he might resign from the post of President of Ukraine.

But not until the war is over, — said the head of state.

Putin refuses peace talks on Ukraine's terms

Recently, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin once again cynically stated that he is not going to decide on a ceasefire.

According to him, he does not want to do this because, they say, he does not believe in positive steps by the team of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

This is the first. Second. We cannot allow that after the ceasefire, the adversary will take advantage of this ceasefire in order to improve its position, to arm itself, to equip its army with the help of violent mobilization and to be ready for the continuation of the armed conflict, — the illegitimate head of the Kremlin cynically lies.

The Office of the President of Ukraine has not yet commented on these scandalous statements in any way.

A very expensive problem. What is known about the high-profile conflict in NATO

Britain is currently the weak link in NATO

As journalists have learned, some members of the Alliance are dissatisfied with the state of the UK's air defense, as it has almost no means of protection against ballistic missiles.

Points of attention

  • There is virtually no protection against ballistic missiles in Britain.
  • This problem, which no one is in a hurry to solve, has provoked outrage among NATO members.
  • The Alliance recommends that its members increase spending on the development of ground-based air defense systems.

Britain is currently the weak link in NATO

According to insiders of journalists in the British defense sector, the bloc is no longer hiding its indignation at the fact that London is not making the planned contribution to defense systems to protect Europe from long-range missile attacks.

Moreover, it recently became known that the country does not have ground-based air defense assets to protect critical infrastructure or populated areas from ballistic missiles.

What is important to understand is that during the Cold War, Britain was preparing to defend against nuclear-tipped missiles, so it did not prioritize other air defense systems.

The reason Britain has very weak air defense is because for 30 years no one thought we needed it, a senior British defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said in a statement.

Britain is at risk

As of today, it is no secret to anyone that the country can be attacked from "any direction" if a ballistic missile is launched from a ship, submarine, or aircraft.

"In 15 years, a ballistic missile could hit Britain from anywhere in the world. But it's a very expensive problem to solve," said another insider.

It is worth noting that this year, the Alliance, within the framework of its recommendations to member countries to increase defense spending, will emphasize the development of ground-based air defense systems (SBAD).

Interestingly, against this background, official London is concerned that excessive attention to air defense within NATO's collective defense could lead to a diversion of funds from Britain's more specific needs.
