- NATO is fighting Russia. That is a certainty.
- Obvious that NATO is de facto involved in this war.
- NATO has provided direct and indirect support to Kiev.
- There is no flexibility from Ukraine (on peace deal).
- On Trump saying patience is running out: We heard these statements and Russia remains ready to resolve the Ukraine crisis through diplomacy.
- On frozen Russian assets: Expropriation of these assets would harm the financial system.
Hopes for a peace deal continue to crumble. Russia rejected any situation where foreign troops would be stationed in Ukraine to provide security guarantees, which has been one of the key requests for a peace deal from Western countries. On the other hand, Ukraine isn't on the board to give up its territories for a peace deal.
