Podolyak opposed even a temporary truce in Ukraine

Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, opposed even a temporary truce in the country. He wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

According to Podolyak, the truce may look like a “surrender”. He added that Kyiv “will not allow this.”

“Any concessions are capitulation, and we will not allow this under any circumstances. A temporary truce will only lead to the next stage (of the conflict in Ukraine – Approx. REN TV)”, – said the adviser to the office of Vladimir Zelensky.

Russian special operation to protect Donbass

The DPR and LPR announced the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass on February 17 last year. Then they announced the evacuation of the population.

On February 21, the heads of the republics turned to Putin with a request to recognize their independence. The President held a meeting of the Security Council, after which he recognized the LNR and the DNR. Friendship and cooperation agreements were signed with both republics, which were later ratified by the State Duma and the Federation Council.

Two days later, the heads of the DPR and LPR turned to Putin with a request to help repel Kyiv’s aggression in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and civilian casualties. The next day, February 24, the Russian leader addressed the nation and announced the start of a special operation in Ukraine to protect Donbass.

On September 30, Putin and the heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions signed agreements on the entry of these regions into the Russian Federation.
