Reported on May 26 by the reference news website According to the report on the website of the Russian Businessman on May 25, Ukrainian President Zelensky announced that he would not consider the possibility of reaching a ceasefire agreement with Russia. In his view, the Russian army may take the opportunity to consolidate its position.

According to the report, Zelensky believed that such an agreement would be meaningful unless both armies stayed within the border. In an interview with the media of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, he said: "The ceasefire now... is very, very dangerous for us." The Akoda News Agency of Kazakhstan released an interview video.
He also said that the comments on the legitimacy of his presidency were meaningless and he was not too worried about it.
The report mentioned that Russian President Putin said on the 24th that the legitimacy of Zerensky as the President of Ukraine has ended.
Zelensky commented on this: "Ukrainians are familiar with their own constitution and laws. (Putin)'s views on the legitimacy of the President of Ukraine... do not make me deeply uneasy."
Previously, according to Russian media reports, Russian President Putin said that it is necessary to resume peace negotiations with Ukraine, but it should be based on sound and rational principles, and can start from the agreements reached to resume negotiations. Putin said: "What we are witnessing now is that the topic of resuming negotiations has been revived. Just talk about it, but not how one side wants to deal with it, provided that it is based on the fundamental consensus reached during the negotiations between Belarus and Turkey, and cannot be divorced from the current ground reality."

Media: Putin calls Zelensky an illegal president, and the US wants to expand the war

According to a report released by Xinhua News Agency from Minsk, the capital of Belarus, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed here on May 24 that he supports Russia Ukraine negotiations on the basis of current realities.
At the same time, Putin also said that the legitimacy of Zerensky as President of Ukraine has ended. This means that if Russia needs to sign a peace agreement with Ukraine, it must deal with the "legitimate" Ukrainian authorities.

It seems that Putin has gone abroad again. This is his second overseas visit after the arrival of his new term as President of Russia. Moreover, according to the press secretary of the President of Russia Peskov Month 24 Japan said that Putin will visit North Korea next.
It can be seen from this that although the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin, this did not affect his visit to some countries.
At the same time, Uncle Hai also noted that the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and others. By comparison, Netanyahu felt that he was unable to move——
After all, Russia has a large territory across Eurasia. Some of the countries Putin visited are bordered by Russia and are not signatories to the Rome Statute, which means that they do not recognize this arrest warrant at all. In this way, it is more convenient for Putin to travel to these countries by means of transportation. In fact, it should also be noted that Putin is not completely immune from the arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court. For example, when the BRICS Summit was held in South Africa last year, Putin and the then South African leadership weighed again and again, and the final choice was that Putin would not attend the meeting.
The BRICS Summit in 2023 was held in South Africa, and Putin failed to attend
It is worth noting that this year's BRICS Summit will be held in October in Kazan, Russia. Let's see who the guests are! It is believed that Putin, who did not attend the BRICS Summit last year and is the head of state of the host country this year, will certainly attend!
Netanyahu's problem is——
Israel is a small country, and the attitude of the surrounding Arab countries to the Rome Statute and the arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court is still taboo. As a result, Netanyahu may be unable to move out of Israel.

get down to business. As the President of Russia, Putin once again talked about the Russia Ukraine negotiations in Minsk. According to him, at the beginning of the Russian Ukrainian conflict in 2022, after several rounds of negotiations in Belarus and Turkey, the two sides basically reached a consensus document. However, under the interference of the West, Ukraine gave up continuing peace talks with Russia.
In fact, apart from what Putin said this time, similar statements were made by Russian diplomats, Western diplomats and Chinese diplomats at the Munich Security Conference. It is said that Boris Johnson, the then British Prime Minister, strongly opposed the peace talks between Zerensky and Russia and asked Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian.

Now, it is worth seeing that another Johnson, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, has announced that he would encourage Ukraine to attack Russia with US military aid.
This is to make the war bigger and bigger!
Putin made it clear in Minsk that negotiations are necessary. At the press conference, he once again stressed that if Russia and Ukraine continue to negotiate, it will be based on the results of the negotiations in Belarus and Turkey and the current reality.
Of course, what the outside world has seen is that Putin said when talking about security issues with Belarusian President Lukashenka——
The borders of Russia Belarus alliance countries are reliably protected. Both Russia and Belarus have deployed Russian defense systems and tactical nuclear weapons on their borders. He said that, in view of the current tension outside the alliance countries, he "discussed in detail the issue of forming a unified defense space" in his talks with Lukashenka.
What do you think of Putin's statement?
In Uncle Hai's opinion, we should make a comprehensive judgment based on the fact that he also said not to fight nuclear war before.
It seems that Russia hopes to be invincible, and only on this basis can it bargain with Ukraine and the West behind it. If the West turns a blind eye to Russia's nuclear power, the Russian side will certainly take action.

So it seems that this military linkage between Russia and Belarus, especially Putin's nuclear weapon related statement in Minsk, was probably told to the West, and was quite specific to Mike Johnson. I hope Mike Johnson, who was almost thrown out of office soon after he became the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, will not take the Russian position as a joke!
Haishu noticed that at the beginning of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, when the Western military supported Ukraine, he asked Ukraine not to attack Russia. But then what? Ukraine has repeatedly attacked Russia's Belgorod State and other places with drones, missiles and other weapons. Now, it is said that the Russian army attacked Kharkov to ensure the safety of Belgorod State, which is close to Kharkov.
Why does the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have its own historical latitude and realistic factors? We can also see some clues from it. A lot of cut and sorted content actually needs both parties to sit down and talk!
By attacking each other, anyway, the place where the war burns is not the West!
But in the West, such as the problem of Ukrainian refugees, Europe is also scratching its head!

In order to show his determination, Zelensky once signed the law that Ukraine would not negotiate with Putin.
Now, Putin also made a statement in Minsk——
If Russia signs a peace agreement with Ukraine, it needs to deal with the "legitimate" Ukrainian authorities. He believes that the legitimacy of Zerensky as President of Ukraine has ended.
Because of the signing of relevant laws, it is impossible for the Zelensky authorities to negotiate with Putin at present.
Because Putin has not recognized Zerensky as the legitimate president of Ukraine, he believes that even according to Ukrainian law, Ukraine should also hold a presidential election. The Russian side naturally did not want to talk with Zerensky.
The question is how to hold general elections in the war ridden Ukraine? Can the general election be held in the four states of Udon and Crimea?
Admittedly, Crimea had "voted in Russia" in the last general election in Ukraine, but how to calculate Crimea is not big, and the election results in one place have limited impact on the election results in Ukraine.
The situation is different in Wudong four states. At present, Russia believes that these places are Russian territory, but Ukraine has not abandoned these places. In other words, Ukraine can also claim that the general election cannot be effective without the participation of the four states of Ukraine in the election. In this way, will it not enter some kind of dead cycle?
Russia and Ukraine, how should we get the clue and enter the peace talks? It is time to test the wisdom of both sides again
