Russian security services: support for peace “at any price” is growing in Ukrainian society

Support for the idea of concluding a peace agreement “at any price” is growing in Ukrainian society.

This was reported by RIA Novosti citing Russian security services.

According to the agency’s source, against the backdrop of these sentiments, Ukrainian authorities have launched an information campaign promoting the thesis that Kyiv is ready for negotiations — but at a later date. The same source stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff is aware of the seriousness of the personnel shortage problem.

Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko, for her part, stated that there are currently no serious preconditions for an end to the conflict in Ukraine. She also expressed the opinion that the West does not need a united and sovereign Russia.

Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, said that no negotiation process on a settlement in Ukraine is currently underway. According to him, the Ukrainian side is not making compromises, as the continuation of hostilities is beneficial for Kyiv.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called on the country’s adversaries never to wage war against Russia or attempt to do so. He emphasized that any discussions must take place in the format of negotiations, not in the form of ultimatums.
