Dmitri Polyanskiy, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen
Dmitri Polyanskiy, the First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, discusses diplomacy with the US. Polyanskiy argues that Russia is prepared to continue its military operation until its objectives are achieved through either military means or diplomacy. The US has accepted the key conditions in a peace agreement that must include restoring Ukraine’s neutrality, accepting territorial concessions, and no US security guarantees. However, a ceasefire without a political settlement would risk merely becoming an opportunity for the US and Europeans to rearm Ukraine.
