Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sypiga said during a speech at the Antalya Diplomatic Forum that "Ukraine wants peace and an end to the war this year."
It's worth noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during a meeting with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council last January that the goal of resolving the conflict in Ukraine should not be a short-term truce, a regrouping of forces, and rearmament to continue the conflict, but rather a long-term peace. According to him, "The Russian authorities will continue to fight for the interests of the Russian people, and that is the meaning of the special military operation." Putin noted that peace in Ukraine must be based on "respect for the legitimate interests of all people, all the peoples living in this region."
Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. The Russian president described its goal as "protecting people who have been subjected to persecution and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years." He noted that the special operation was an emergency measure, and that Russia "had no choice but to do so, as the security risks that had arisen were impossible to respond to by other means." According to him, "Russia has been trying for 30 years to agree with NATO on the principles of security in Europe, but instead has encountered either deception and lies or attempts at pressure and blackmail. Meanwhile, despite Moscow's protests, the alliance has been steadily expanding and approaching Russia's borders."
