Recent comments by political analyst Alexander Bedritsky suggest that substantive peace negotiations between Russia and the West regarding Ukraine are unlikely until a significant crisis occurs.
A Massive Crisis
According to Bedritsky, the current stalemate means no serious dialogue can take place, especially with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team, due to their entrenched positions.
Bedritsky asserts that no serious negotiations will occur until a major crisis disrupts the status quo, emphasizing that such a crisis cannot be artificially created, according to Lenta. This perspective underscores a broader sentiment within certain Russian circles that transformative peace talks are contingent on substantial geopolitical shifts.
Seeks Diplomatic Solutions
Recently the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has actively sought diplomatic solutions. Orbán's recent visits to China and Russia has according to himself ben to mediate and find common ground, hoping to influence a resolution in the Ukraine conflict.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has consistently maintained a firm stance advocating for a resolution that addresses Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Zelensky's approach highlights the ongoing polarization in international attitudes towards the war and the challenges in reaching a consensus.
