Without Ukrainians' position, all peace plans are empty talk

Anything that comes from the outside may not take into account the interests of Ukrainians. To be more precise, they are likely to work for their own interests.

And everything will be decided by "soldier or sailor Petrenko" and his family and friends.

"As long as a soldier is ready to fight and sees that the rear is in order (there is justice, no more stealing like the last time, there are weapons and clear payments, everyone is determined to win and ready to get involved), such a soldier can still work for victory."

As soon as the rear begins to 'shake,' everything will develop very quickly. There may be many consequences that are even hard to imagine now.

I am not calling for anything now. And I do not tolerate the idea of a 'war of attrition.' It's just that all these plans, both victorious and 'compromise,' do not take into account the key factor - the position of the people of Ukraine, especially the Armed Forces, especially those on the front line. And without this, these are fruitless discussions. People say it's empty talk.
