The negotiation seems impossible
Who saw the speech of the Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk a Half past eighton La7, on March 14, he heard her say very severe words towards the West (in short, the West has asked us “to give up nuclear weapons, those weapons today could be a danger.” So what is happening is his fault).
Words uncompromising about giving Russia something to start negotiating for peace (“We are asking to close the sky. Otherwise you can call this war whatever you want but it will destroy us and you” “Neutrality does not give us security. We want to remain independent and get back all the territories invaded by the Russians”). In short, she showed herself for what she is: a female soldier, a general ready to do anything – even to threats, and not very veiled – to achieve his goal.
