The only working formula for ending the war is for Russia to withdraw all its troops from the territory of Ukraine, according to participants of the new episode of the joint podcast of the National Security and Defense Council’s Countering Disinformation Center and Ukrinform news agency “About the War”.
In particular, Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center, asks the guest of the program, journalist Dmytro Koshelnyk, how he reacts to the statements of some people that it is time to end the war and negotiate.
According to Koshelnyk, people who say this should first of all suggest how to stop the war, but usually all such people can offer is to quickly reach an agreement with Putin, even though this is impossible.
At the same time, Dmytro with call sign Diplomat, an officer of the Azov Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, notes that the formula for ending the military conflict is very simple: “Putin orders his troops to leave the legally recognized territory of Ukraine. They leave and the war is over.”
Diplomat adds that before 2014, when Russia was not on the territory of Ukraine, there were no “hot spots” anywhere in Ukraine. “The formula is simple – get your army out of our territory, the war will end, and deaths on both sides will end. That’s it,” summarizes Diplomat.
Ukrainian Formula for Peace, which has already been supported by more than 30 countries, stipulates that the first condition for peace is the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine and the cessation of hostilities and rocket attacks.
