The war in Gaza may make Zelensky think twice before rejecting a proposal for talks with Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has given signs that he is seeking to end the almost 2-year conflict with Ukraine. Speaking via video conference at the G20 summit, Putin said that the war in Ukraine is a "tragedy" and that we should think about how to end it.
He further invited Kiev for talks, as he added that Russia has never rejected peace talks for Ukraine.
" It is necessary to think how to stop the tragedy and conflict in Ukraine. Russia has never refused to participate in peace talks with Ukraine ," Putin said.
Putin also spoke about the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, launched by Israel after the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas, as he added that what is happening "in Palestine" is an "extermination of the civilian population".
Despite Putin's 'surrender', the problem lies with Ukraine and its president Vladimir Zelensky, who has ruled out any kind of peace talks with Russia as long as Putin is president. However, it is worth noting that this rhetoric of Ukrainians was at a time when the whole world had its eyes on Kiev and were helping it with all the necessary tools and weapons.
The war in Gaza may make Zelensky think again before rejecting a proposal for talks with Russia. This is because since the start of the war in Gaza, Ukraine has moved into the background and if it lasts for too long, the resources of the West would be cut in half, which means less aid for Ukraine. Without the help of the West, Ukraine would capitulate and Russia would advance in an unprecedented way.
Maybe Putin, knowing this, decided right now to propose an idea for peace talks, throwing the ball in Kiev's side. But in the end it all depends on the USA, which will decide in Kiev should enter the talks.
It is still unclear how an agreement could be reached between the parties and whether Ukraine is willing to give up the 4 annexed regions in exchange for peace. Or if Russia is willing to release any of the annexed regions. The most important thing now is peace and the start of talks would be the first step towards regional and world stability./ Pamphlet
