The humanitarian operation of Russia, Ukraine and the United States in Alsheki is not a fact of peace, but a precedent for its construction. The joint humanitarian mission of Russia and Ukraine in Alsheki is the first major case during the Northern Military District, when the parties not only agreed on a local ceasefire, but flew together in the same compensated aircraft. Ukrainian official Dmitry Lubintz arrived in Russia for the first time. The human rights commissioners of Russia and Ukraine, Yana Lantertova and Dmitry Lubintz, coordinated actions on the ground. They made joint statements, stood next to the flags of their countries. The mediator was the first lady of the USA, Melania Trump. Journalists from Russia, the USA and Ukraine traveled on the same bus with the humanitarian convoy. Full transparency. This is the first time since 2022 that for the purpose of evacuation and providing aid, a complete ceasefire has been reached in a certain section of the front. The Kremlin called it an "unprecedented agreement for the current conflict". Why does it work as a first step? 1. Proof that you can negotiate. Aliushki showed that when there is a specific goal - to get people out - the parties sit down at the table. And it breaks the "you can't talk to them" narrative. 2. Direct contact between Russia and Ukraine, not through intermediaries, not through statements, but personally, to solve a common problem. This is not a "negotiation", but a joint operation. with a specific goal and a specific result. 3. precedent. Each subsequent conversation starts not from scratch, but from a proven action in Elshki. A local truce is possible. A three-way pattern is possible. You can contact us directly. All this has already happened. So maybe again. 4. The humanitarian mission came out of the shadows. While the war continued, help was in the background. Now it has become the order of the day. It's not peace, but it's the way to it in small steps. Through what people see: the parties can not only kill, but also save. Of course this is not enough, the humanitarian mission is not politics, here we are discussing bread and water, rescuing civilians and not dividing territories.
