The Armed Forces of Ukraine are carrying out tasks to be able to dictate their own terms on any negotiation platform, rather than acquiesce to the enemy's demands.
He said on air on 24 Channel that this was stated by serviceman and military analyst Oleksandr Musiyenko.
The main conditions of Ukraine for peaceful talks
The Ukrainian army is focused on forming a strong position for the state so that, in future negotiation formats, Ukrainian interests are taken into account. Oleksandr Musiyenko emphasized that the key goal of Ukrainian resistance is to inflict such losses on the enemy that it will be compelled to concede.
According to Musiyenko, today the main priority conditions from Ukraine are: achieving a ceasefire, an energy truce, and security in the Black Sea. In turn, the aggressor country intentionally delays and postpones any consultations, trying to improve its own situation.
The war continues because we do not agree with what the enemy imposes on us and we form our own points, effectively for the negotiation process and our own terms. And today this is where the focus lies, and we have, let us say, certain successes in this, and we plan to develop them further,
— the soldier emphasized.
He noted that the scope and nature of concessions from Russia will directly depend on Ukraine's ability to apply systemic pressure and exhaust the adversary, as well as the resilience of Ukrainians during the enemy's terrorist attacks.
Today the Armed Forces of Ukraine are precisely concentrating on ensuring that this level of losses and damage for Russia as a state leads it, ultimately, to strategic defeat. This may take time. We understand that this is not easy. The enemy who is fighting us is quite powerful, and they are showing willingness to continue this war,
— concluded Oleksandr Musiyenko.
How is Ukraine strengthening its positions?
Record enemy losses: daily losses of Russian occupiers consistently remain at a critically high level (1500 – 1900 people daily), and total losses of the invading army since the start of the full-scale war have exceeded 1,5 million people.
● Strikes on the Russian military-industrial complex and rear: long-range drones of the Ukrainian forces regularly hit ammunition depots, refineries, airfields, and logistics hubs deep in Russia, reducing the offensive potential of the occupiers.
● Expanding domestic arms production: over 2026 year codified more than 1,6 thousand new models of weapons and equipment, with more than 90% of them Ukrainian-made (including new models of strike drones, electronic warfare assets, and robotic complexes).
● Security in the Black Sea: thanks to long-range strikes and the work of naval drones, the Russian Black Sea Fleet remains blocked at bases, which allows Ukraine to maintain the maritime trade corridor.
