Ukraine promised "great events" on February 24

Ukraine has announced plans to hold a “peace summit” at the UN site, and it is also trying to push a resolution in the General Assembly calling for a lasting peace. Russian authorities said

On February 23 and 24, the anniversary of the start of the special military operation, “great events” are expected that “Russia will remember,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said. Excerpts from his interview with Ukrainian journalist Vadim Karpyak were published by TSN.

Kuleba spoke about political and diplomatic decisions, mentioning the UN. “There will be many important political signals, there will be decisions on sanctions, weapons, there will be symbols of unity, and this will happen at all levels,” the minister said. At the end of 2022, Kuleba said that Kyiv would like to hold a peace summit at the UN in the new year through the mediation of the organization’s Secretary General António Guterres.

In the UN General Assembly, Ukraine and its supporters are preparing a resolution that will talk about the need to achieve a lasting peace as soon as possible, ensuring the independence, sovereignty of Ukraine, its unity and territorial integrity, the Associated Press wrote earlier. It will also contain a call for RUSSIA to immediately withdraw its troops. The resolutions of the General Assembly are declarative in nature and do not oblige the country to anything.

Ukraine is also advancing the peace plan, which was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky at the end of 2022. In November, at the G20 summit, he announced a "peace formula" containing ten conditions, including the withdrawal of Russian troops and "fixing the end of the conflict."

The press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said in January 2023 that Moscow sees no prospects for negotiations with Ukraine in the current circumstances. “In conditions when the laws of Ukraine prohibit the President of Ukraine from having any contacts with us or having any dialogue with us, in conditions when the Westerners are obviously not inclined to allow Kiev any flexibility in this matter, to talk about that there are some prospects, at present it is not necessary, ”he said. In December 2022, he said that Russia would be guided by "common sense" and would not follow someone else's conditions. Then he was just commenting on Kuleba's idea to organize a summit in February 2023.

On February 11, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin said that Russia was ready for negotiations with Ukraine: without preconditions, but "on the basis of the reality that exists" (Moscow insists that joining the DNR, LNR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions into Russia is an established fact that will need to be taken into account in negotiations with her, not to mention Crimea).

“The classics say that any hostilities end with negotiations, and naturally we have already said that we will be ready for such negotiations. But only to negotiations without preconditions, negotiations based on the reality that exists, negotiations taking into account the goals that we have publicly announced,” the Deputy Minister said.
