Quote: “The Russian economy is starting to deplete. If we can convince him that we will not return to the relations we had before, and we can do this longer than he can, then he will make a deal.”
Details: Sikorski added that Europe’s plan should be to continue armed support for Ukraine as long as Kyiv is ready to counter the Russian invasion.
Sikorski noted that Putin also wants peace, but on his terms, expecting Ukraine to surrender.
He believes the question now is how to reach a peace agreement that will suit all parties. Therefore, the foreign minister points out that to reach a peace agreement that will suit all parties, focusing on the medium term is necessary.
