Currently, the date of the third round is unknown. At the same time, the Russians accuse Ukraine of "unwillingness to negotiate," and in fact, of unwillingness to accept Russian terms for ending the war, i.e., to capitulate.
We have repeatedly said that it would be better for us to achieve the goals before us by peaceful and diplomatic means. But until this happens, the "SVO" continues, and the realities on the ground change every day
At the same time, as reported by Russian "media," the "uncertainty" of the negotiation process is compounded by Washington's "inconsistent position": on the one hand, Marco Rubio and Sergey Lavrov discussed a "new approach" to settlement at a meeting in Kuala Lumpur, on the other hand, the US announced its intention to increase arms supplies to Ukraine amid threats of a new Russian offensive.
