Putin rejects peace negotiations: ISW analysts criticize a lack of dialogue will

Putin’s missing will to negotiate against Ukraine confirmed

The analysts of the Institute for War Studies (ISW) in Washington have found after the meeting between Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin and the Hungarian head of government Viktor Orban that Putin continues to show no real will for negotiations in relation to the war of attack against Ukraine. Instead of striving for real negotiations, Putin called for the demilitarization of Ukraine and the transfer of territories that Russia currently does not occupy. He also rejected a break in the conflict, which further tightened the situation.

support of the European Union for Ukraine at risk

The visit of Orban at Putin was viewed critically by the ISW experts, since they believe that Orban's efforts aim to focus on the military support of Ukraine to possible peace negotiations. This could undermine the support of the European Union for Ukraine and strengthen Putin's tactics to split the West. Orban's rejection of EU military aid for Ukraine was also considered problematic.

criticism of the NATO of Orban

Orban accused NATO of disregarding her founding principles and prioritizing the striving for war instead of peace. The disagreements between Russia and Ukraine in relation to a solution to the conflict were also discussed, with both sides rejected negotiations and wanted to carry out the conflict on the battlefield.

Overall, the situation about the conflict in Ukraine shows the lack of willingness to negotiate Putin and the complex diplomatic challenges that the countries involved are opposed. It remains to be seen whether there will be a constructive solution to the conflict in the future.
