Oleksandr Bevz, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said that there is no reason to claim that Ukraine is delaying the peace talks. He emphasized that the Ukrainian side demonstrates maximum openness in the process, as far as it is possible.
Ukrinform writes about this.
Ukraine shows and we do it with all our actions – complete openness and constructiveness. There is absolutely no reason to say that Ukraine is delaying the peace process. We are as open as possible,” he assured.
The representative of the OP stated that the Ukrainian side participates in any calls and meetings and shows maximum diplomatic flexibility in this.
“Therefore (there is – ed.) the hope, which is that the Russian side – and we already see certain signals from the Russian side – if it will really delay the process again, as it has happened more than once, that the toolkit is still available (to influence the Russians from partners – ed.),” Bevs said.
Beves said that “there is a growing feeling that if the United States does not use the tools that are available, if Russia delays, then it will be wrong and it will weaken the position of the United States in its commitment to achieve this peace.”
“I’ll be honest, it seems to me that all solutions have been worked out. And the only thing left is the political will to implement these solutions. The precedent with sanctions against Rosneft and Lukoil is a good example. We need to move on if there is such a delay,” he believes.
Answering the question about what are the real levers of influence on the Russians, the OP representative noted that (here we are talking about – ed.) the USA.
“It is necessary to understand that now it is the USA that is the facilitator, mediator, negotiator and in the future, I hope, the guarantor of implementation, if we still reach some kind of agreement. That is why we are fully relying on our partners with the USA. They have the whole set of tools to convince Russia of the need to reach a peaceful solution,” Bevs said.
He reminded that the USA cooperates directly with Russia and that the bilateral negotiation track “Ukraine-Russia” after the Istanbul negotiations is currently in a certain inactive phase.
“That is why the American side is determining this method of interaction. And I think that later it will be clear, in the event of progress, what formal approaches to signing will be. Bilateral, multilateral – it is premature (issue – ed.). The main thing is to get good will from there (from the Russian Federation – ed.). But, unfortunately, we can see “good will” from the recent shelling of Kyiv, from the tragedy in Ternopil, from the events at the front. Unfortunately, there are not enough indicators on the part of Moscow that they have accepted the process, but we believe that the American partners will find arguments”, said the OP representative.
Ukraine, along with several European countries, believes that the initial version of the American peace plan actually encourages further Russian aggression.
Trump believes that the Russian Federation can seize the desired territories of Ukraine in a few months.
