Ukraine’s victory should be a common goal of its partners so they must provide the nation with everything it needs so that it can win this war unequivocally and irreversibly, the expert believes.
He also dismissed as misleading the idea, voiced in Switzerland, of inviting Russia to the negotiating table together with other parties.
This is because every time someone brings up peace, this supports the Russian narratives, heard in many capitals, that concessions must be made to Russia in order to come to some sort of an agreement, says Tenzer.
Those posing Russia must refrain from the very words “peace negotiations”, Tenzer is convinced.
As reported, the Peace Summit was held in the Swiss resort of Bürgenstock on June 15-16. The participants discussed nuclear security, food security, and the humanitarian dimension – the exchange of prisoners and the return of abducted Ukrainian children.
