Through his speech, Prime Minister Starcer hoped to witness “the alliance of those who are willing to” make certainty commitments to help Kyiv before any peace agreement and then to ensure Ukraine’s security. In addition, British Prime Minister also accused President Putin seeking to delay peaceful negotiations. According to Starmer, if serious about peace, Putin had to direct the attacks on Ukraine and agreed to stop firing immediately.

In the middle of such a context, the battlefield information is in a conflict related to the Kursk region (Russia) – where Ukraine attacked and then partially controlled since August 2024. In recent days, many information shows that Ukrainian troops have withdrawn from this area. March 15, sheet The New York Post quoted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky affirming that its military campaign in Kursk was a success for helping to thin the Russian forces. However, President Zelensky did not mention exactly whether Ukraine has withdrawn all forces from Kursk.

Regarding the situation of Kursk, writing on the Truth Social on March 14, President Trump reported “thousands of” Ukrainian soldiers being surrounded, the White House owner also called on Putin to “spare” this group of soldiers. In response, President Putin said he would “spare” if Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk surrendered. However, many officials and experts from Ukraine and the United States rejected the information that Ukrainian forces were surrounded in Kursk despite acknowledging the situation as difficult.

However, no matter what, the withdrawal of troops from Kursk still causes Kyiv to lose an advantage of negotiations. Because not long ago, Mr. Zelensky also set conditions for the area in Kursk that Kyiv was controlling in exchange for the Ukrainian regions being occupied by Russia. Moscow then rejected this proposal.

Putin’s “blow”

Meanwhile, Washington seems to be more cautious with the optimism of peace for Ukraine. According to the AP, speaking to reporters at the end of the G7 meeting in Canada, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration officials planned to spend the weekend to evaluate the report of the American specialist Steve Witkoff, who had just met with Putin in Russia, to discuss peaceful solutions to Ukraine. In contrast, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, although acknowledging the need for a call for peace for Ukraine, but also only said that “there are some bases for optimism carefully” on this issue.

Recently, President Putin agreed with the US proposal on ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, but at the same time stated that it was necessary to discuss related terms. Putin asked Ukraine to abandon the ambition to join NATO, Russia controlled all four areas of Ukraine that Moscow merged with Russia, while limiting the size of the Ukrainian army. Accompanied by that, Western sanctions against Russia must be loosened, Ukraine conducted presidential elections.

In analysis sent AdolescentEurasia Group (USA), the world’s leading political risk consultancy and research unit, also pointed out the challenges from President Putin’s request to peace for Ukraine. “The most ominous: President Putin stated that any agreement must resolve” long -term “and” root cause “leading to Russia’s military campaign for Ukraine since 2022”.

Solving “long -term” and “root causes” above can be understood as what Russia has given in the ultimate letter in December 2021 for NATO and the US, about 2 months before the military campaign aimed at Ukraine. In particular, the outstanding NATO does not admit Ukraine, NATO must withdraw the army and weapons from the member countries to be admitted after May 27, 1997. At the same time, NATO did not conduct any military activities on Ukraine, Eastern European countries, South Kavkaz and in Central Asia. For the United States, there are conditions such as withdrawing mid -range missiles or more out of Europe.

Those are things that perhaps NATO and the United States is hard to meet. Or simply “limiting the size of the Ukrainian army”, which Moscow has previously stated as “the demilitarized Ukraine”, it is difficult to cause Kyiv to agree, because Ukraine still confirms the need to ensure security after peace agreements. In fact, if not joining NATO and being “limited in military scale”, there is almost no security in accordance with Kyiv’s expectations.
