Russia and Ukraine will agree to a cease-fire when both sides 'understand that they are not moving anywhere,' said the senior German Army officer.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have yet to agree to conditions for negotiations to end the fighting between their nations.Speaking to Ukrainska Pravda, a Ukrainian online newspaper, Domröse said,"I expect a truce at the beginning of summer, when both sides will say: 'Now it doesn't make sense anymore.' The cease-fire will come sometime in 2023.
However, such a truce would only halt military action, which has left thousands of soldiers from both sides, as well as Ukrainian civilians, dead. Negotiating an end to the war will take considerably more time, Domröse said. "A cease-fire means we stop shooting. Negotiations will probably take a long time. You need a mediator," he said."Maybe U.N. Secretary-General Guterres, Turkish President Erdoğan or Indian Prime Minister Modi, although no one is really imposing themselves.
