Military expert Sönke Neitzel commented on the recent talks in Berlin involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European representatives, and the USA. He noted that while the discussions have brought Ukraine, Europe, and the USA closer together, any ceasefire would require Russia's involvement. Neitzel highlighted the progress made in diplomatic efforts, particularly regarding security guarantees for Ukraine. However, he expressed skepticism about Russia's willingness to negotiate, suggesting that Zelenskyy may need to make difficult concessions, especially concerning territorial issues. The ongoing challenges include differing positions on territory and security guarantees.
