russia may be invited to negotiations solely after its defeat, - Nicolas Tenzer
19.06.24

The idea of inviting russia to negotiations table is a misleading one. This can only happen provided “putin’s russia” is completely defeated.

This was emphasized by Nicolas Tenzer, Chairman of the Center for Studies and Research on Political Decision (CERAP) at the special event held by the KSF established by the Arseniy Yatsenyuk “Open Ukraine” Foundation.

“I saw the final Communique of the Summit on Peace and I believe the idea to invite russia for negotiations right now is a misleading one. Every time we speak about peace now, we give floor to a lot of russian narrative that we still witness in some European capitals. The idea that we need to make concessions to russia, that we need to strike a deal – this is very misleading”, - Nicolas Tenzer stressed.

According to Mr.Tenzer, the Western states must refrain from using the phrase “peace negotiations”, at least for now.  

He emphasized that the West should concentrate on providing Ukraine with all its needs to “defeat russia, fully and completely”.

“Today, it is perhaps too early to hold peace summits. Instead, we should hold a war summit, because, first, we need to win this war. This should be our common goal, and we need to give Ukraine all it needs to reach this goal, to win this war”, - Mr. Tenzer argued.

He also mentioned his recent visit to Ukraine and his communication with Ukrainians. He believes that all this process must speed up.

“Naturally, Ukraine alone could not have thrown russian army from its territory. We are not talking solely about withstanding russian army, we are talking about making Ukraine win, so that this effort is brought to fruition”, - he added.

The Kyiv Security Forum, established by the Arseniy Yatsenyuk “Open Ukraine” Foundation is the major platform in this country to discuss matters of war and peace, national and global security.
