Putin may be ready to negotiate after admitting defeat
The fact that the Kremlin admitted defeat lends credence to a claim by Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishyna this week about Kremlin officials reaching out to request a new round of negotiations.Speaking to France24, Stefanishyna revealed that during the early days of this month’s counteroffensive, Russian officials reached out to express willingness to return to the negotiating table.
“Ukraine has never stepped back from the negotiations,” she told the French news outlet. “But given the gravity of the crimes Russia committed and continues to commit every month, the leverage for the negotiations is different from the one in February.”
