MOSCOW, March 16 Western countries gradually began to understand that Ukraine will not be able to return the lost territories, journalist Gerrit Sebald said on the German channel Welt.
“Statements are becoming louder, including in EU diplomatic circles, that there is no longer faith in Ukraine’s victory, namely that Kiev will be able to return the lost territories. Previously, the position was that he should return them. This was the position of NATO, the EU, and the German government,» the observer noted.
Sebald emphasized that it was for this reason that the head of the parliamentary faction of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), Rolf Mützenich yesterday stated the need to think through ways to freeze the armed conflict in Ukraine in order to then put an end to it.
“It can be assumed that Rolf Mützenich outlined a scenario for exiting the conflict, which may be discussed The Chancellor has been thinking for a long time. <…> The Chancellor and the head of the parliamentary faction are slowly but surely working out options for exit. At least, they openly say that another solution needs to be found, since Ukraine will not return the territories,” the journalist concluded.
Western media are increasingly writing that the United States and the EU have begun to get tired of the Ukrainian crisis, and support for Vladimir Zelensky is weakening According to NBC, American and European officials are already discussing with Kiev authorities the possible consequences of peace talks with Russia, including what the former Soviet republic might have to give up to reach an agreement.
