Bartosz Cichocki, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to Ukraine, expert on international security, stated this on Espreso TV."The situation is escalating very quickly. It seems to me that it is no coincidence that we are simultaneously learning about an anti-corruption operation by NABU, which, I'm not saying there are no reasons to be concerned about the behavior of high-ranking officials, but it politically weakens the President of Ukraine. It could force him to accept a plan, to accept an agreement that he would never have signed under other circumstances. For now, this is the information situation we have. We are learning about it from the media, to which someone has leaked it. And here it is important whether it is the Russian side, or if there really is some kind of plan, but some process is taking place. And it is important not to allow ourselves to make mistakes," Cichocki explained.The diplomat emphasized that Russia is trying to impose its conditions in negotiations through escalation. In particular, not only through terrorist missile attacks on Ukraine but also through hybrid attacks on Europe."The situation is also very difficult in Poland. I am sure that this is also not a coincidence: we have acts of terrorism on the railway, and our ambassador to Russia was attacked in St. Petersburg on Sunday. It seems to me that this is a kind of Russian preparation for some negotiations through escalation. They somehow want to get out of this war, but, of course, on their own terms. And these missile attacks on Ukrainian cities, Pokrovsk, NABU, the attacks on us - this is intended to create a situation where our public, our society, especially in Ukraine, will be more open to any compromise, to simply freezing this conflict. This cannot be allowed, because if these 28 points are confirmed, it is clear that it will be even worse than the Minsk agreements. They will give Russia the opportunity to return with attacks, with aggression, on much better terms than today," he added.He also noted that in this situation, the military-political leadership of Ukraine must coordinate its actions with European leaders. Also, in his opinion, 'Mindichgate' does not strengthen Ukraine's negotiating position."Therefore, it seems to me that the leaders of Ukraine now need to coordinate very closely with the leaders of Europe. It is very unfortunate that this anti-corruption scandal is happening at a time when we are working very intensively on unfreezing Russian assets and giving this money to Ukraine, when we are working on a new financial support mechanism for Ukraine for two years. 'Mindichgate' does not strengthen Ukraine's negotiating position. But we must be very careful, we must see the broader situation and focus on what is really important. What is really important now is the attempt to push for a more or less capitulation of Ukraine," he concluded.On November 19, Axios reported that the White House is quietly working with Moscow on a comprehensive framework to end the war in Ukraine, drawing inspiration from the recent Gaza ceasefire deal.According to Reuters, the U.S. has signaled to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukraine must accept a U.S.-drafted framework to end the war with Russia that proposes Kyiv giving up territory and some weapons.On November 21, the British publication The Telegraph published the full list of the 28 points of the U.S. peace plan, which Washington is proposing to Ukraine and Russia as a basis for ending the war. The document reportedly involves significant concessions from Kyiv, but does not prohibit it from joining the EU.
