📜 In their report, analysts note that Putin is attempting to undermine the legitimacy of the Ukrainian government by proposing the creation of a temporary administration in Ukraine that would conduct democratic elections. According to Putin, such a government would allow russia to begin negotiations with the new Ukrainian administration and sign a peace treaty.
🇺🇸 White House National Security Council spokesman James Hewitt immediately rejected Putin’s proposal, emphasizing that the governance of Ukraine is determined by its Constitution and people. UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed the same position, stressing that Ukraine has a legitimate government that deserves respect.
💬 ISW argues that Putin’s new demand continues the Kremlin’s strategy of delaying peace talks, particularly through the suggestion of a temporary government. According to analysts, these actions are aimed at securing further concessions from the West.
🕊️ ISW estimates that the Kremlin has no intention of abandoning its territorial ambitions, seeking to use negotiations to reach an agreement that would allow russia to seize new territories. Furthermore, Putin reiterated his demand to remove the “root causes” of the war, which is essentially a demand for Ukraine’s capitulation and the creation of a pro-russian government.
