Ukraine’s Stance on Peace Negotiations

Ukrainian‍ Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Sirsky stated ​that⁣ Ukraine⁤ will not accept a peace⁢ treaty⁣ with Russia that involves​ ceding ‌any territory.⁤ He emphasized that a just peace can only be achieved by halting fighting along the current front line and than initiating negotiations.

Sirsky ‍affirmed ⁤that Ukraine’s military will continue fighting if diplomatic efforts fail, warning ​that the outcome has implications for the entire ‌European‌ continent.He‌ underscored the‌ importance of defending ukrainian land, ⁤country, and people.

“Our main task is to defend our land,⁤ our‍ country and our people,” Sirsky said. “Of course, it is not acceptable for ‍us to simply give up and give up⁢ the territory. What does it ‍even meen to⁢ give up our land? That⁤ is why we are⁣ also fighting not to give up our territory.”

He defined a just peace as⁣ one achieved without preconditions and without territorial concessions. “All wars ​eventually end, ‍and of course we hope that this war will also end. And when ‍it does, a just ‌peace must be achieved. ​In my understanding, a ⁣just peace is a peace without preconditions, without surrendering territory,” Sirsky ‌added.

Russian Military Deployment and Losses

Sirsky reported that Russia has deployed over 710,000 soldiers along the ⁣front line. He also stated that the Russian forces are suffering meaningful casualties, with approximately 1,000 to 1,100 soldiers ⁣killed or wounded daily.

Currently, the Russian army is⁣ attempting to advance along ‌nearly‍ the entire front line, ‌according to ​the general.
