🇩🇪 Bundestag deputy Sahra Wagenknecht:

🇩🇪 Bundestag deputy Sahra Wagenknecht: Russia has repeatedly signaled in advance that it does not want to accept that Ukraine will become part of the American sphere of influence and that there will be missile bases and military bases there. And it was always about the NATO issue. And a Ukrainian representative, for example, recently confirmed that there were already talks at the Istanbul talks in the spring of 2022 that the Russians could end the war if Ukraine was willing to move toward abandoning NATO. This was stated by a Ukrainian negotiator. So it was always about this central issue. It’s amazing that this terrible war is still going on after two years, even though there could have been a compromise here and very, very many people, especially young people, could still be alive. - What do you think Ukraine should go without? - Without the prospect of joining NATO. Without military and missile bases on its territory. I don’t know if this can be ended now without territorial concessions. During the two years of war, the Russians have gained a foothold in certain areas. And the thesis that we were always told that we should supply weapons so that Ukraine’s negotiating position could improve has not been confirmed at all. The opposite has happened. The negotiating position today is worse than it was two years ago. I do not know whether it is possible today to reach a peace agreement similar to what was possible in Istanbul.
