Zelensky says he is ready for “emergency negotiations” but one condition must be met
On October 20, Zelensky openly stated that he was willing to negotiate, but that the current position on the frontline must be frozen, that is, the Russian army stopped the offensive, the Ukrainian army stopped the counter-offensive, only if both sides were stable on the ground, negotiations would be conducted.
Some experts believe that the most important reason why Zelensky took the initiative to propose "emergency negotiations" is that the freezing period is approaching. The Russian army may launch a large-scale ground war, and the Ukrainian army will also undergo personnel rotation. If the Ukrainian army cannot be given a respite, the morale of the Ukrainian army will definitely drop sharply and the losses will increase.
But Zelensky also understands that Russia will definitely not agree to this "emergency negotiation". If it does not agree, Zelensky can use this as an excuse to accuse Putin of sabotaging the peace negotiations, thereby allowing the United States to launch sanctions against Russia.
But does Zelensky really want to negotiate? It's not that he made it clear that Ukraine would not give up any territory. Previously, Putin did not give in, saying that the four eastern regions of Ukraine only need Donetsk, and Russia could consider giving up other territories, but Ukraine did not agree. Now Ukraine has reiterated that it will not give up any inch of land. In fact, it is just that it does not want to negotiate seriously with Russia. It can only be said that Zelensky missed the best opportunity for negotiation. Now that "emergency negotiations" Russia will definitely not agree.
