Change of #Russian policy to block not only #NATO but also now EU membership of #Ukraine makes peaceful resolution of #RussiaUkraineConflict much more difficult if not practically impossible. 1/ #Ukraine️RussiaWar #Russia #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineWar pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2022/…
"Dmitry Polyansky, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, said that Russia's position on the possible entry of Ukraine into the EU has changed and has become similar to the position on Ukraine's entry into NATO." 2/
"On March 29 aide to the president of the Russian Federation and head of the Russian delegation, said that among the written proposals of Kyiv under an agreement with Russia is the wording that Moscow will not be against Ukraine's entry into the European Union." 3/
In my publications, interviews & social media posts before & during #RussiaUkraineWar, I suggested that granting #Ukraine prospects of EU membership could be key element of peaceful resolution of this conflict. 4/
@CBCNews : "Ukraine could be offered EU membership as part of a peace deal where it agrees to renounce NATO membership and declares itself neutral," said Katchanovski. "This would present Ukraine with something tangible and generate public support." 5/ cbc.ca/news/politics/…

I said in live @SkyNewsAust TV interview that #Putin in Victory Day speech on anniversary of Soviet-led defeat of #Nazi Germany claimed that #Russian & separatist forces in #Ukraine fight on their own land. This suggests intention to annex parts of Ukraine in East & South. 1/

Proxy war & not peace: #Ukrainian media reports that "Russian side was almost ready for the Zelensky-Putin meeting" for peace deal to end #ukrainewar. But it was abandoned after British PM visited #Ukraine & told #Zelenskyy not to negotiate with #Putin. pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2022/…
UP sources close to #Zelenskyy: "British Prime Minister Boris Johnson brought two simple messages:
"Putin is a war criminal, he needs to be squeezed, and not negotiated with him.
Second, if Ukraine is ready to sign any agreements on guarantees with him, then they [West] are not."
Such revelations about Western policy of treating #Ukraine as tool for proxy war with #Russia & blocking peace deal to end #UkraineRussiaWar corroborate my research-based findings shortly after #Russian invasion of Ukraine. #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineWar
