Talks with the Russian dictator alone do not bring any added value to achieving a just peace, but only give Putin hope for easing international isolation. This was emphasized by Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi, commenting on the conversation between the German Chancellor and the Russian dictator, UNN reports.
"The German side announced that it was going to talk to Putin. But even if the German Chancellor did not express any positions in the conversation that would contradict Ukraine's position, conversations with the Russian dictator do not in themselves carry any added value for achieving a just peace.
Long talks are a resource that Putin has been using for more than 20 years to achieve his interests. Now, the talks only give Putin hope of easing his international isolation," Tychy said.
He emphasized that specific strong actions are needed to force him to peace, not persuasion and attempts at appeasement, which he sees as a sign of weakness and uses for his own purposes.
"Specific actions are known - first of all, the withdrawal of the occupier's troops from the territory of Ukraine," Tychyi summarized.
