Stalemate in the War: Why Ukraine Rejects Proposed Peace Models


Commentary on the deadlock in the war, Ukraine's refusal of compromise proposals, and the lack of a clear, realistic end goal.

This commentary delves into Ukraine's current deadlock regarding possible models for ending the war. The speaker points out that all international proposals for peace have been rejected by the Ukrainian authorities as unacceptable. The official position remains the return of Crimea and all occupied territories—which appears practically unattainable under current circumstances.

The author stresses that over four years of martial law, the government failed to use its unique powers to strengthen the country's position, instead focusing on internal interests, thereby worsening the situation. Russian proposals on language and church issues are also strongly rejected, despite the ongoing use of Russian and attendance at Moscow-controlled churches by much of the population.

The analysis highlights a degree of hypocrisy and the complete lack of a strategic vision for attainable war aims. The commentator calls for a realistic approach and open dialogue about objectives that can genuinely be achieved, not just rejection of all proposals without real alternatives.
