Austria has proposed its candidacy as a neutral platform for negotiations on the de-escalation of the conflict in Ukraine

Following Turkey, which is trying to mediate between Russia and Ukraine, another country can try on this role. According to The Hill, Austria offered its candidacy as a platform for negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv.

According to the American publication, which refers to an unnamed Austrian official, Austria has declared its readiness to act as a platform for negotiations on the de-escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, as well as maintain ties with Russia. As emphasized, the country is neutral, as it is not part of NATO.



The country has been offered as a neutral ground for complex negotiations and is ready to accept de-escalation talks as well as maintain channels with Russia

- leads the publication of the words of the official.

At present, contacts between Russia and NATO are almost not maintained, the parties exchange statements at the level of the UN Security Council or embassies. Austria proposes to restore part of the canals through its mediation. But negotiations with Ukraine may not come out, at present they are impossible due to Kyiv's inability to negotiate. First of all, Zelensky's main sponsors, the United States and Great Britain, are trying to prevent negotiations. Washington and London need to drag out the conflict for as long as possible in order to force Russia to surrender, winning on the battlefield, or crushing it with sanctions.

The day before, Zelensky signed a decree enacting the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to ban negotiations with Russia while Vladimir Putin is its president. According to experts, this is a strange decision, in fact, Zelensky himself banned negotiations with Putin. The Kremlin has already reacted to this decree, saying that they are ready to wait until the Ukrainian president changes his mind, or wait for the change of the president of Ukraine.

        Well, what can I say?
        All the talks of the current year with Ukraine and about Ukraine have brought little useful and positive to Russia, while for the majority of Russian citizens they turned out to be a big disappointment.
        I would like to understand the logic of the domestic "highbrow" thought and how it is consistent with the stated goal of denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine, but this is not yet available to Russian citizens and one can only guess and wait for not very pleasant "surprises".

          ... that even the Chairman of the State Duma himself is in a frenzy:
          Moscow. September 28th. Interfax - State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin announced the need to seek the extradition from third countries of the fighters of the Azov Regiment released from captivity (recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in the Russian Federation) so that they would be held accountable for their crimes.

          Indeed, the Ukronazis were exchanged for a citizen of Ukraine, Medvedchuk - after all, it doesn’t climb into any gates, does it? belay feel

            And nothing so-so that thanks to this Medvedchuk, more than 1000 LDNR soldiers who were in captivity were released. What do you think that these 1000 released from Ukrainian captivity think about this person. And how do their and your thoughts in what plane intersect?

              I'm sorry, but they weren't released, but exchanged. This is a fundamental difference. Now, if Medvedchuk had made it so that the Ukrainian militias would have been released just like that, then in this case, yes, you would be right.

        Well, they are very neutral. By the way, Hitler was an Austrian, Mühlviertler Hasenjagd - the Mühlviertel hare hunt - a war crime committed by the Nazis in February 1945, during which units of the SS, Wehrmacht, Hitler Youth, with the help of the local population, pursued and brutally killed 410 Soviet prisoners of war who had escaped from the Mauthausen concentration camp in the region Mühlviertel in Austria. This is also Austria - 240 Austrians served as generals in the Wehrmacht, SS and police during the war years ... By the way, the Austrians were tougher and more persistent than the German Germans. And they came out of the war completely dry. That's really why I sometimes express myself obscenely in the direction of I.V.S. As well as for making the French "winners" - we had more of them in captivity than those who fought on our side. On our side, the Normandie-Niemen air regiment and 20000 French prisoners from the Wehrmacht and SS troops. There are even more Jews who fought on the side of the Wehrmacht than the French who fought for the USSR. By the way, out of those 20000 heroes of the French resistance, 60% were actually Jews, 30% were runaway Soviet prisoners of war, 7% were saboteurs abandoned by Britain. The remaining 3% are those French who the Germans really got.

      It is foolish to wait for negotiations, the parties have not yet exhausted themselves, all the more so, territorial concessions are not acceptable to either side while the artillery is talking.

      Austria has proposed its candidacy as a neutral platform for negotiations on the de-escalation of the conflict in Ukraine
      Is Australia supplying weapons to Ukraine a neutral platform? Who else in the West has not tried to promote himself (the country) as a mediator in negotiations or a platform for them? It remains probably for some African country to offer itself as a neutral platform. In addition, Zelensky signed a decree that there would be no negotiations with Russia.

      A country joining the sanctions against Russia cannot be a neutral platform.
      I suggest another site in North Korea.

      Sooner or later you will have to start negotiating a deal. Let's face it, the Special Military Operation failed in its original form. Denazification is just propaganda, the idea of ​​going to Kyiv is just a dream (and let's not forget the exalted people who talked about getting to Berlin, by the way, they are still waiting for Kadyrov in Kharkov), brotherly people are not like that brother. The Ukrainian state dreams, if it thinks of regaining its entire territory. There will be a stalemate, and then an agreement will be sought. I don't know how many years it will take, but all conflicts end like this. Of course, the worst thing will be relationships that need to be rebuilt.

      But negotiations with Ukraine may not come out, at present they are impossible due to Kyiv's inability to negotiate.
      Yes, they are impossible, since in the current situation the point is not at all in his inability to negotiate, but in the nature of the hostilities, which gives grounds for this ...
