Russian President Vladimir Putin has sharply criticized both Ukraine and its Western allies for their failure to address the ongoing crisis in Donbass, accusing Ukraine of betraying peace efforts. In a recent interview, Putin stated that Russia should have launched military action against Kiev much earlier, warning that any inaction would have been a "crime" against Russia's national interests. He pointed to the failure of the Minsk agreements, which were intended to provide special status to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but were never fully implemented by Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged that Ukraine's army lacks the strength to fully recapture territories lost to Russia since 2014, including Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye. In a recent interview, Zelensky emphasized the need for diplomacy, stating that Ukraine cannot achieve its territorial goals through military means alone. He also highlighted that any diplomatic solution would only be possible when Ukraine is strong enough to prevent further Russian offensives. Despite this, Zelensky remains firm in his stance that Ukraine will not capitulate, signaling that NATO membership remains a key objective in negotiations.

Russian forces have made significant advances in the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, capturing the key villages of Vesely Gai and Pushkine in the Donetsk region. These victories mark the most substantial territorial gains for Russia in months, intensifying pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The offensive has brought Russian troops closer to strategic targets, including Pokrovsk and Kurakhove, while clashes continue in heavily contested areas like Chasiv Yar. The Ukrainian military described the situation as "exhausting," with fierce resistance reported on multiple fronts. Meanwhile, Russian artillery and airstrikes persist, targeting critical infrastructure and Ukrainian defensive positions. Analysts note that Russia’s November advances are the largest since March 2022, signaling a renewed push to consolidate control over Donetsk. As the battle escalates, international observers warn of the conflict's growing humanitarian and geopolitical consequences.

In a bold move, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejects France's proposal for secret ceasefire talks on Ukraine, emphasizing that any discussions must involve Kyiv. Lavrov stresses that without Ukraine's participation, such initiatives are not taken seriously. This aggressive stance highlights Russia's position in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, where diplomatic efforts are constantly shaped by the dynamics of international involvement. Lavrov's comments send a clear message that Russia will not engage in behind-the-scenes negotiations without the key player—Ukraine—being part of the process.
