Ukraine when peace? “Agreement possible in 10 days, here’s how”
Podolyak explained: “One of the points of the peace agreement will be the immediate ceasefire and the total withdrawal of the Russian army from Ukrainian territory”. And he clarified: «However, the negotiations will be a large-scale process in which not only Russia and Ukraine participate. Our partners, including Poland, also participate in a non-direct manner. Because we don’t want to just sign an agreement but to develop a concrete mechanism that guarantees our safety in the future ».
The forecast of Zelensky’s adviser
“So far, both the Russian and Ukrainian delegations are firm on their positions. Dispute resolution can take anywhere from a few days to a week and a half – explained Podolyak – During this time, we need to get closer to a pacing agreement. Obviously taking into account the interests of Ukraine, which has suffered enormous damage from Russia. The peace agreement helps to end the active phase of the conflict. And then we will have to rebuild the country. It is clear that Russia has no chance of showing that besides her there are other culprits in this catastrophe ».
“With the Vienna Convention, Russia will be forced to withdraw its troops”
«Russia – added Zelensky’s adviser – will have no choice but to initiate an immediate withdrawal of its armed forces. After the agreement is signed, the Vienna Convention will come into effect for both parties. In which it is clearly written that the peace treaty can be canceled if the warring states do not withdraw their troops from enemy territory. Therefore, any attempt to detain Russian soldiers on any Ukrainian soil will be legally unfounded. To ensure that Russia respects the agreement, the modalities for the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine and the help of our partners who will contribute to compliance with the conditions of the agreement and the security of Ukraine in the future will be put in writing ”.
