According to webangah News Agency, citing Sputnik News Agency, Vladimir Medinsky, head of RussiaS delegation in negotiations wiht Ukraine, stated on Monday: “If Ukraine truly desired peace and could decide independently, a peace treaty with Moscow would have been signed on February 28, 2022. The terms proposed in 2022 were more favorable for Ukraine than Russia’s current demands.”
Medinsky emphasized that Putin introduced only “one or two amendments” to the draft agreement discussed between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul during 2022.

Rare earth agreements with Ukraine pale compared to what American businesses gain through partnerships with Russia.Russia has no need for war; this conflict serves the current Ukrainian leadership’s purpose-they require perpetual warfare and an eternal enemy to maintain power indefinitely.”
