By refusing direct negotiations with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has lost the chance to exit a failed war, and eventually Russia will have to agree to a diplomatic settlement on significantly worse terms. This was stated by Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, UNN reports.
Details
According to him, there is currently "no good news for the Russians": the situation for Russia will only get worse—losses on the battlefield will continue to grow, and "failures will become increasingly humiliating."
The economy will sink deeper into recession. More jobs will be lost, taxes will rise, and inflation will hit the most vulnerable. There are no longer any safe places in Russia that can be protected from Ukraine's long-range strikes. But their intensity will continue to grow

Also, in his conviction, international pressure on the RF will not weaken but will only intensify, "including the use of frozen assets, travel bans, and inevitable accountability for crimes."
And all this because a fanatic in the Kremlin wants to stay in power at any cost and is ready to sacrifice his country's future and kill millions of people for his mad delusions. All this because he does not want to admit a simple truth: he will never achieve his goals on the battlefield, and he would be better off giving up his futile hopes for a rapid collapse of Ukraine, a decrease in support from its partners, or a weakening of pressure on Russia
He added that Putin's refusal of peace should lead to a significant increase in international pressure on Russia and support for Ukraine.
Context
Recently, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote an open letter to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin—proposing to schedule a meeting and set a date.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin reacted to the letter, stating that he currently sees no point in a meeting with the Ukrainian President—claiming he "never refused Zelenskyy a meeting, but is against beating around the bush."
