«Угода з дияволом неможлива». Головне з колонки Залужного про війну, мир і ветеранів
Peace with Russia cannot be negotiated according to business logic because, without international law, any agreement would amount only to a pause before another war, former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom Valerii Zaluzhnyi wrote in a column for Channel 24.
Valerii Zaluzhnyi, a former Ukrainian military commander and ambassador to the United Kingdom, argues in a Channel 24 column that negotiating peace with Russia is impossible. He asserts that any agreement would merely be a temporary ceasefire before another war erupts. Zaluzhnyi attributes this to the collapse of the international law system following Russia's annexation of Crimea and the U.N.'s inability to protect freedom and independence.
He contends that the war in Ukraine is the root cause of global instability, affecting even gas prices at stations. The column also highlights the forgotten sacrifices of veterans, who are considered irrelevant in current peace-building efforts. Zaluzhnyi warns that a military defeat would result in the loss of civilization, potentially traded for rare-earth materials used in deadly robots.
While some hope for peace through U.S. diplomacy, others remain skeptical due to Russia's lack of concession-making.
