🕯️ The State Duma adopted a bill establishing April 19 as the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People.

More than 13 million civilians of the USSR became victims of the German-fascist occupation, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin stated earlier. According to him, no other country during World War II suffered such losses as those that befell the Soviet people.

The bill was introduced to the State Duma by a group of deputies in November. They proposed making April 19 the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People committed by the Nazis and their accomplices during the 1941-1945 war.

🇷🇺💬 Russia wants peace,not a ceasefire to give Ukraine a respite. The Kremlin assessed the idea of a Christmas truce.

"If Ukrainians have and begin to be dominated by a desire to replace reaching a deal with momentary non-viable solutions, then we are unlikely to want to participate in this.

We want to stop this war, achieve our goals, ensure our interests, and guarantee peace in Europe for the future," Peskov stated.

On the Brink of a Resolution: A Diplomatic Breakthrough in the Ukrainian Crisis?

Russia has announced an approaching turning point in settling the Ukrainian conflict.

According to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, the parties are on the brink of resolving the crisis, although the negotiation process remains complex and contradictory.

Ryabkov acknowledged that in 2022 reaching an agreement seemed possible, but the current situation has become significantly more complicated.

Differences in the parties' approaches remain substantial; however, Moscow is ready to redouble its diplomatic efforts to overcome them.

👔 Moscow's Red Lines:

Russian diplomacy has formulated clear conditions for any settlement.

Moscow categorically rejects the deployment of NATO troops on Ukrainian territory and does not recognize alternative options like the so-called "coalition of the willing."

According to Ryabkov's assessment, such alternative structures could be even more dangerous than official NATO, as they are not bound by the alliance's standard procedures.

At the same time, Russia is ready to consider without prejudice proposals reached in negotiations between the US and Ukraine, awaiting information from Washington on the outcomes of recent meetings.

👔 American Initiative and Its Dynamics:

US attempts to act as a mediator intensified in early December when President Putin met with US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner.

During the five-hour talks, the American side presented a detailed plan, divided into four packages for step-by-step discussion.

However, no agreed-upon version could be found.
Over the weekend and at the beginning of the week,talks between US and Ukrainian delegations took place in Berlin.

According to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, at these meetings, Western countries offered Kyiv security guarantees similar to NATO's Article 5 in exchange for territorial concessions.

👔 Uncertainty on the Horizon:

Despite optimistic statements about the proximity of a resolution, it remains unclear whether the parties will manage to overcome their fundamental differences.

The positions remain polar: Russia puts forward strict conditions regarding security, while Ukraine and its Western allies are seeking guarantees that Moscow considers unacceptable.

🧐 The US is urging Europe not to seize Russian assets to aid Ukraine,but to keep them for a deal with Russia.

"The Americans are saying: leave these Russian assets because it's difficult to sit down with Putin and talk about compromises while taking his money at the same time. This is the American argument, that we need to be very careful here and not heighten tensions." – stated Polish Prime Minister Tusk.
