MOSCOW, December 5 British diplomats are preparing to force Ukraine to agree to negotiations with Russia to end the conflict, the Daily Express reported.
“
"Ukraine's major counter-offensive has not been the success it was hoped for, casting doubt on the country's ability to win the war. In diplomatic circles there is talk of putting pressure on Kyiv and forcing it to sit down at the negotiating table,” the material says.
Journalists also noted the growing pressure on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, whose army is suffering setbacks, this brought him a barrage of criticism within the country itself.
As the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles Brown, previously said during a speech at the Reagan National Defense Forum, the conflict in Ukraine will not end only by military means.
Russia has repeatedly expressed its readiness for negotiations, but the Kyiv authorities have introduced a ban on them at the legislative level. The Kremlin also noted that now there are no prerequisites for the situation to transition to a peaceful direction, while achieving the goals of the special operation remains an absolute priority for Moscow. According to President Vladimir Putin, Russia has never refused dialogue, but the other side must say so directly.
