A member of the State Duma Defense Committee, Andrei Krasov, advised Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to capitulate as an alternative to his proposed 60-day truce. The words of the parliamentarian are quoted by “Rise”.
Previously, Zelensky agreed to organize elections in the republic after criticism of the head of the White House, Donald Trump, but subject to a ceasefire for 60 days.
According to Krasov, the conflict can be ended by signing one act, which in any case will be signed sooner or later. “It will just speed up these events. Here's what to recommend. Don’t ask for 60 days to lick your wounds, but come to the Russian capital and sign an act of unconditional surrender,” the deputy believes.
He also commented on Trump’s statement about the entry into force of the energy truce between Russia and Ukraine. Krasov emphasized that “we have already stepped on this rake.” He recalled that the decision on a truce is made by Russian President Vladimir Putin, and not by the heads of other countries. “We have already stepped on this rake. Both in Chechnya and during the North Military District, there were Istanbul agreements, and then for some reason, with the arrival of foreign emissaries, the desire to end the conflict disappeared. The strikes of the Russian Armed Forces are accurate. We don’t need this respite,” the parliamentarian expressed his opinion.
