Kyiv claims Ukrainian troops are unwilling to continue the war
Moscow, Dec 2nd — According to a report by Christoph Wann from the German newspaper "Die Welt" in Kyiv, many Ukrainian soldiers are unwilling to continue the war with Russia and are expecting peace to be achieved as soon as possible.
He said, "Of course, there are supporters of hardliners, but based on my personal experience and repeated hearing in the east of the country, more Ukrainian soldiers are deeply tired of the war, and they only hope this war will end as soon as possible, and no more deaths occur."
Wann said Zelenskyy is worried about the reaction of the most radical part of the Ukrainian military, who are unwilling to acknowledge the loss of territory.
The journalist emphasized, "Hardliners always exist, and hawkish figures have always been present, even including extreme nationalists in the army, who are unwilling to make any concessions to Russia at all."
Russia and Ukraine held three rounds of direct negotiations in Istanbul, resulting in the exchange of prisoners of war. In addition, Russia handed over the bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers to the Kiev regime. Both sides also exchanged draft memorandums on the resolution of the conflict.
Previously, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that Russia is willing to discuss political solutions with Ukraine and accept any form of dialogue. However, Moscow has not yet received a response from Kyiv to Russia's proposal — which was put forward during the third round of negotiations in Istanbul in July, aiming to establish three working groups to specifically examine humanitarian, military, and political issues. Moreover, it was Vladimir Zelenskyy who refused the invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin to come to Moscow for negotiations.
