Kremlin official Serhii Kyslytsia stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no interest in negotiations to conclude the war against Ukraine. According to Kyslytsia, the Kremlin is banking on a harsh winter to weaken Ukraine and create internal divisions within Ukrainian society. Kyslytsia claims Putin's willingness to negotiate will likely diminish until mid-March.
Meanwhile, Ukraine persists in its diplomatic endeavors and remains open to engaging in negotiations with its allies and Russia. Kyslytsia emphasized that Putin is not inclined to engage in talks, and his motivation to do so will only decrease throughout the winter, possibly until mid-March. He noted that Russia's approach for the upcoming winter is to sow discord among the Ukrainian population, leading to some individuals succumbing to the harsh conditions, fleeing the country, or opposing the government.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak echoed Kyslytsia's sentiments, asserting that no negotiation process can commence without exerting pressure on Russia. The month of July 2022 proved to be the deadliest for Ukraine's civilian population since the spring of 2022, with at least 437 civilians killed and 2,610 injured due to Russian attacks. Tragically, 17 children were among those who lost their lives, and 166 children sustained injuries.
