According to Omelyan, Ukraine could negotiate with the Russian Federation for the sake of a ceasefire, but only with the goal of further joining NATO and strengthening the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“If we are ready to send another 300 thousand or 500 thousand Ukrainian soldiers to seize Crimea and liberate Donbass, and if we get the required number of tanks and F16s from the west, then we can do it. But I don’t see another 500 thousand people ready to die.” ,” the military man pointed out.

The Kremlin has repeatedly stated that it is ready for negotiations, but Kyiv has introduced a legislative ban on them. The West constantly calls on the Russian Federation for negotiations, for which Moscow shows readiness, but at the same time the West ignores Kyiv’s constant refusals to engage in dialogue.

Earlier, Moscow stated that at the moment there are no prerequisites for the situation in Ukraine to transition to a peaceful direction, the absolute priority for Russia is to achieve the goals of the Northern Military District, now this is only possible through military means.
