Russia is attempting to derail peace negotiations by putting forward unrealistic demands

Russia has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives in the war against Ukraine and is trying to derail negotiations by putting forward unrealistic demands.

Russia is trying to create a false impression of the situation on the battlefield.

Putin's negotiating position is based on bluff and lies.

Russia has not achieved any of its strategic objectives since the start of the full-scale invasion

It took Russian troops over three years to occupy approximately 9,300 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory

Russia would need over 180 years to capture all of Ukraine at the current pace

Russia has a growing budget deficit, lack of reserves, and virtually zero economic growth
