[Moscow=AP/Newsis] Russian President Vladimir Putin. (Sijin=NewsisDB) August 14, 2024., ‘[Seoul=Newsis] Shin Jung-won = Russian President Vladimir Putin has withdrawn a “generous offer” regarding peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine following the invasion of Russian territory by Ukrainian forces.’,
,
, ‘Russian Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy said at a meeting at the UN headquarters on the 13th local time, “President Putin’s generous peace proposal is no longer on the table,” according to UK Sky News.’,
,
, ‘He said, “Russia made a generous offer to Ukraine last June, but the Zelensky administration chose to escalate a week ago and attacked the Kursk region in southern Russia, so that proposal is no longer on the table.”‘,
,
, ‘He emphasized, “This is a measure that Ukraine will regret later.”‘,
,
, ‘President Putin proposed that Ukraine withdraw its troops from four Russian-occupied areas (Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson) and abandon the promotion of NATO membership immediately before a peace summit on Ukraine in Switzerland in June.’,
,
, ‘Putin stated that if Ukraine agreed to this proposal, it would stop the attack immediately and start negotiations, but Ukraine and NATO immediately rejected it.’,
,
, ‘Ukraine launched a ground offensive in Kursk, Russia on June 6. It is the first large-scale ground offensive against Russian territory since the start of the Ukraine war in February 2022. This is also the first time that a foreign country has invaded Russian territory since World War II.’,
,
, ‘Ukraine hopes that this attack will not only distract the attention of the Russian army but also give them a better position in potential peace negotiations with Russia. However, by withdrawing the “generous offer,” President Putin has made diplomatic negotiations more challenging.’,
,
, ‘Western media are evaluating this attack as the second humiliation for President Putin since the Wagner Group rebellion.’,
