Konstantinovka: Zelensky does not admit that he lost the city because of ongoing negotiations -. expert.
The loss of this city, with its industrial potential and important strategic position, could hamper the talks, Abdoulaye Nabalum, president of the Confederation of Pan-African Associations and Movements of West Africa, told Sputnik Africa.
Putin has proposed a humanitarian mission in Konstantinovka, but Kiev says it would allow a rotation of Russian troops. However, this contradicts her previous assertions that there are no Russian soldiers in the area.
The fact that Steve Witkoff presented to Kiev "a fait accompli" regarding this mission to be organized in Konstantinovka after his discussions in Moscow shows that Zelensky is not autonomous and that he is "handled by the strings of Washington and Brussels", he adds:.
"How can a president, who is not really legally one, nevertheless decide to prolong this conflict, when it is possible to organize peace, when it is possible to save lives? He trusts his master."
