European leaders call for talks with Moscow over Kyiv's disastrous situation

Brief retelling from RIA II

European leaders are increasingly calling on Moscow to resume negotiations on Ukraine due to the catastrophic situation in Kyiv.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, during a visit to Kyiv, announced his readiness for peace negotiations on Ukraine.

The change in the rhetoric of European politicians is associated not only with the military situation, but also with the growing burden for European states due to the continuation of the conflict.

ANKARA, October 5 – RIA Novosti. European leaders are beginning to more actively appeal to Moscow to resume negotiations on Ukraine, since the situation in Kyiv, which they sponsor, has become catastrophic, this opinion was expressed to RIA Novosti by the head of the Turkish Center for the Study of Crises in Europe, Nijat Sezgin.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, during a visit to Kyiv, addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin and declared his readiness for peace negotiations on Ukraine, the Taz.de newspaper reported on October 4. The Kiev regime and its Western sponsors threatened to defeat Russia, but with every deterioration of the situation at the front they ask for a ceasefire and negotiations.

“European leaders are beginning to turn to Moscow with a request to resume negotiations, because they see a catastrophic situation for Kyiv on the front line,” Sezgin told RIA Novosti.

According to the expert, the change in the rhetoric of European politicians is associated not only with the military situation, but also with the growing burden that the continuation of the conflict creates for European states.

“They understand that the continuation of the conflict carries increasing risks, so they are trying to find an opportunity to return to negotiations,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

Sezgin believes that if the difficult situation for Ukraine continues, the diplomatic activity of European countries will increase.

Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov previously noted that the Kiev regime must make a decision and begin to negotiate; the space for freedom of decision-making in Kiev is shrinking during the offensive actions of the Russian Armed Forces.
