Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his recent visit to China, made statements about his relations with the US, China, and North Korea, as well as the situation on the Ukrainian front. Putin claimed to see "light at the end of the tunnel" regarding the end of the war but insisted on the traditional conditions—effectively, Ukraine’s capitulation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded during his visit to Denmark, emphasizing that Ukraine will not concede territory and is seeking diplomatic avenues to peace, though not on Russian terms. Zelensky expressed gratitude to Denmark for its military and economic support and highlighted that maintaining Ukraine’s defense is a joint task for all allies.
Former US President Donald Trump also commented on the situation, calling for increased deterrence against Russia and China. According to Putin, the Trump administration shows a real desire to find a political solution in Ukraine but maintains various options for the US and its partners.
The author notes that Russia continues to promote peace terms favoring itself, including recognition of occupied Ukrainian territories, but these options are unacceptable to both Ukraine and the wider international community. The peace process remains stalled as both parties prepare for the conflict to continue, especially with winter approaching.
A particular emphasis is placed on constitutional safeguards that prevent the legal loss of Ukrainian land, even if agreements are signed during martial law. The author urges support for the Ukrainian army and encourages following the channel for objective updates.
