Russia's Unwavering Stance on Ukraine Conflict

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov asserts Russia's determination to achieve its war goals in Ukraine, including preventing NATO accession and gaining control over key regions. Despite Ukrainian openness to neutrality, Lavrov maintains no capitulation, while Medvedev advocates for Ukraine's destruction.

Amid escalating tensions, Kyiv rejects peace talks with Putin, prompting criticism from Lavrov. The West accuses China of not condemning Russia's actions, as Putin engages in diplomatic visits to Korea.

Ukrainian troops in the Donbas face pressure, particularly in Pokrovsk, the target of Russian attacks. Russia uses missiles and drones with components from over 20 countries, circumventing Western sanctions. A military airfield in Crimea is attacked. Russia has stationed 90,000 soldiers in the Zaporizhzhia region. They carry out deceptive attacks and regroup in the region. Ukrainian units counterattack Russian bases, receiving recognition from Zelensky. The situation in the east of Ukraine is difficult, with ongoing intense fighting in the Donbas. There are concerns that a ceasefire could lead to Russia strengthening its capabilities and intensifying attacks. The EU views the conflict as an existential threat, while nearly two-thirds of EU citizens express worry about the security of the European Union. The Ukrainian energy infrastructure is gradually recovering after facing challenges due to Russian attacks and summer temperatures. Poland is preparing to accommodate approximately 80,000 additional Ukrainian students in its schools. The G7 is optimistic about reaching an agreement on a $50 billion loan to Ukraine backed by Russian assets by October.

In response to tensions, Ukraine halts Druzhba oil pipeline, upsetting Hungary and leading to frozen transfers from the European Defence Fund, affecting Poland. While seeking China's mediation for Russia-Ukraine talks, China hesitates, citing timing concerns. Russia demands concessions, but Ukraine insists on no negotiation until annexation ambitions cease. China's potential as mediator is hindered by internal and external factors. The EU faces pressure to fully sanction Russia and support Ukraine against Hungarian threats. China's focus on stability and countering U.S. influence complicates its diplomatic stance.
