KYIV (Reuters). Ukrainian presidential advisor and peace negotiations negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak stated Saturday that no agreement was possible with Russia, and added that force is the only way to end Moscow’s invasion.

On Telegram, Podolyak stated that any agreement with Russia was not worth a penny. Is it possible for a country to lie cynically, propagandistically?

Russia and Ukraine blame one another after the peace talks fell apart, with last-ever face-toface negotiations taking place on March 29. The Kremlin claimed that Ukraine had shown no interest in continuing peace talks earlier this month, while Kyiv officials blamed Russia.

Volodymyr Zeleskiy, Ukrainian President, stated that Vladimir Putin is the only person who’s worth talking to since he makes all the decisions.

“It doesn’t matter what their foreign ministry says. “It doesn’t matter if he sends some negotiation group to us… all these persons are nobodies unfortunately,” he said in a Dutch TV interview that was filmed Friday.

Putin claims that Russian forces have launched a special operation in Ukraine to disarm and demilitarize the country. This is false propaganda, say the allies of Ukraine.

Podolyak declared that Russia had shown it was a barbarian nation that threatened world security. Only force can stop a barbarian.”
