The Kremlin has not abandoned its goals: the complete destruction or subjugation of the Ukrainian state, the Ukrainian people, and Ukrainian identity. It is an attempt to erase us from the world map and expand its influence to other regions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"619\">Therefore, any expectations that negotiations, agreements, or \u201cpromises\u201d from Moscow could bring real peace are not only na\u00efve\u2014they are dangerous.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"837\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In my view, this round of \u201cenhanced consultations\u201d is aimed at delaying a decision on reparations using frozen Russian assets, easing energy sanctions, and buying time. All of these objectives serve the Russian side.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/never-again-again-why-europe-is-stepping-on-the-same-rake\/\">Europe\u2019s \u2018Never Again\u2019 Has an Expiration Date \u2014 Apparently, It\u2019s Now<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p data-start=\"73\" data-end=\"293\">Moscow is working systematically to undermine European support for Ukraine. And the United States, unfortunately, often appears not as a mediator, but as a player who\u2014knowingly or not\u2014ends up serving Russian interests.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"295\" data-end=\"520\">Today, everything depends on the strength, unity, and capability we can demonstrate together with our European partners. Only this can shift the balance on the chessboard that Putin is arranging with Trump\u2019s tacit approval.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"652\">We <em data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"530\">can<\/em> change the course of events.<br data-start=\"559\" data-end=\"562\" \/>The only question is whether we can muster enough effort even in the face of exhaustion and fatigue.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"801\">What exactly is being discussed now\u2014what points, what \u201cred lines,\u201d what scenarios\u2014none of us truly knows.
