Estonia Warns Putin's 'Peace Proposals' Are Ploy to Divide West and Undermine Ukraine

Estonia is convinced that Vladimir Putin’s "peace proposals" are only a trap to destroy the unity of the West and support for Ukraine. 

This was stated by Jonatan Vseviov, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, quoted by ERR.

"I think he knows exactly what he is doing. In his approach, peace and these proposals are nothing more than a trap, which we have already seen many times. His goal is to lure someone into this trap, and then destroy the unity of the West and support for the Ukrainian government," Vseviov said.

Vseviov believes that peace talks will occur under one of two scenarios: either Russia will acknowledge a stalemate and agree to withdraw its troops from Ukraine, or Ukraine will face collapse due to the ongoing war and be compelled to accept dictated terms.

"In the second case, it is not quite a negotiation anymore. In that case, we can formally talk about peace, but not real peace, and therefore it is very important for us to emphasize that the peace we seek is just and lasting. Otherwise, we have seen in our history, and even in recent history, that simply imposing an agreement under the guise of peace does not work, Ukraine knows this too," he said.
