How Budanov is changing the President&#8217;s Office and seeking allies on Bankova<\/p>\n<p>According to him, there is progress in the negotiation process with Russia. Budanov is also convinced that it will not be prolonged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They all understand that the war must end. That\u2019s why they are negotiating. <strong>I don\u2019t think it will take much time<\/strong>,&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the President&#8217;s Office acknowledged that until now both sides have maintained &#8220;maximalist positions&#8221; in negotiations mediated by the U.S., but they are gradually moving towards a compromise. He pointed out that the aggressor country has a clear incentive to conclude an agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Unlike us, they are spending their own resources<\/strong>. These are huge amounts &#8211; already in the trillions,&#8221; Budanov stated.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, he declined to specify what a possible compromise on the territorial issue, which is the most complex in the negotiations, might look like.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg, citing sources in the Kremlin, states that <strong>the negotiations have reached a deadlock<\/strong>, and the parties have only fixed positions that remain unacceptable to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Negotiations for peace in Ukraine<\/p>\n<p>Recall that yesterday Budanov stated that strikes on the oil terminals of the aggressor country are affecting the negotiation process. For this reason, Ukraine will hear &#8220;a lot of new things&#8221; from the Russians at the next negotiations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected any exchange of Donbas territory for other regions. He stated that Russia understands it will not be able to hold the border territories, and there will come a time when the Armed Forces of Ukraine will push the Russians out of there.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that the U.S. believes that despite Washington&#8217;s shift in focus to the Middle East, negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are still possible.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rbc.ua\">rbc.ua<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the main incentive for the Kremlin to conclude an agreement?
