Russia is trying to put Ukraine in unacceptable ultimate conditions.

Russia is humiliating Belarus and trying to put Ukraine in an unacceptable ultimate position, Mikhail Podoliak, said an adviser to the head of the President’s Office.
“Russia’s manipulation of the negotiation process is obvious. Russia is simply humiliating Belarus by using it. Russia is trying to put Ukraine in an unacceptable ultimatum, which we have long and categorically refused,” he said in a comment on Sunday. “But at the same time, they are trying to tell the world that they are ready for negotiations, they are staging an obvious show called ‘We are going to Gomel’ and are starting to destroy our infrastructure with heavy bombing and large-scale shelling of residential areas,” he said.
