  A ceasefire in Ukraine, or even a peace treaty, won't protect us from the Russian threat. It won't bring peace to Europe. On the contrary, it will give Russia time to rebuild its military capabilities and prepare for another attack in just a few years, says General Piotr Błazeusz, Chief of Eurocorps, in an interview with Wyborcza.

• Putin occasionally pretends to embrace negotiations - only to disrupt the Western coalition supporting Ukraine

  easternfrontier.eu

  Krisztián Jójárt

  From time to time Vladimir Putin performs a well-choreographed show about how open he is to negotiations with the Ukrainians. At the beginning of April, Alexander Lukashenka was another protagonist in this play. This Russian pseudo-reluctance to negotiate is part of Russian strategy, despite the fact that the Hungarian government media treats Putin's openness as a fait accompli.
