Putin 'wants to end war' but Ukrainian bargaining power getting stronger, expert claims
The war in Ukraine has now raged on for more than 270 days with President Volodymyr Zelensky declaring that Ukraine "will endure" at a speech marking the country's national day of Dignity and Freedom. But John Bolton, the former assistant to the President for American National Security Affairs, has claimed Putin will seek to appear as if he is willing to engage in peace talks in order to keep the land already taken from Ukraine - rather than allow a Ukrainian victory. Speaking to Times Radio on November 17, Mr Bolton explained that Putin is attempting to convince Europe he is looking for a way to end the war in a bid to split NATO and keep the territory he has taken so far. As it stands, Ukraine has won back more than half the territory Russia captured since the beginning of the war according to the Institute for the Study of War's data. Russia recently suffered a major setback after it lost the city of Kherson with Putin incurring a further blow at the beginning of October when the bridge between Russia and annexed Crimea was severely damaged in an explosion. Mr Bolton said if Putin wants to split Europe - as he believes he does - and keep the status quo on the ground as it is now, he must engage in talks now. He explained: "I believe what [Putin's] trying to do is convince people, Europeans in particular, that he is looking for a way to end this war, he's hoping to fragment the Western alliance and I think he believes he can outtalk Zelensky. "Zelensky has rejected this alternative in the past and I would tell him to reject it again. I think Ukraine's bargaining posture here gets stronger every day that goes by." Putin's war is not going as he had hoped with Mr Bolton claiming Russia's military performance is not showing "signs of improvement", meaning the Russian leader may resort to emerging with the status quo. However, sources told the Daily Mail that President Zelensky will only be open to peace talks with Putin if all Ukrainian territory is reclaimed. A poll conducted in September by Gallup found that 70 percent of Ukrainians want the war to continue until they achieve victory with 91 percent saying "victory" means all Ukrainian territory seized by Russia is recaptured, including Crimea. But Mr Bolton warned that Putin may rely on the fact that the rest of the world may not be as resolute as the economic outlook continues to worsen. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced last week that the UK will be sending £2.3billion to Ukraine. The Russian President's invasion of Ukraine has also affected the energy crisis with gas and electricity increasing by "eight times their historic average", Mr Hunt explained during the autumn statement. Mr Bolton continued: "I think Putin is trying to drive up the cost of the war economically. Ukrainian resolve is not going to be broken on this attack on their electrical power generation infrastructure but somebody's going have to pay to replace it. "In the face of recession, both Europe and the United States are going to face, hoping that our resolve will crack even if Ukrainians' doesn't it." According to the Government website, more than 40 percent of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been damaged or completely destroyed by Russian attacks. The recent strikes causing destruction to Ukraine's transmission lines, power stations, and pipelines have left ten million people without power. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...27d5d09f98f1df

"Grain Agreement": 76 ships are waiting for permission to enter ports of Ukraine
As part of the "grain initiative", on Monday, November 21, three ships with agricultural products left Ukrainian ports, 76 are awaiting permission to enter. The spokesman of the RMA, Serhii Bratchuk, said this in a commentary to Radio Liberty, Censor.NET informs. "On Monday, three vessels left Ukrainian ports. They are transporting 90,428 tons of grain and other foodstuffs as part of the Black Sea Grain Initiative," the official said. In addition, three dry cargoes, which passed through the humanitarian corridor on Monday, are heading to Ukrainian ports. "76 vessels are awaiting permission to enter the ports of Ukraine, and 33 loaded dry cargoes are being prepared for inspection in Turkish territorial waters to proceed to their destinations," Bratchuk emphasized. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3382215 Hague is deciding how to hold Russian Federation accountable for its aggression against Ukraine Consultations were held in The Hague, Netherlands, on the mechanisms and tools of prosecution for committing the crime of aggression against Ukraine. Ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Anton Korynevych said this in a comment to Ukrinform, Censor.NET informs. "We worked in The Hague, actually, it was regular consultations with our Dutch partners. We are discussing various issues, in particular, regarding responsibility for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, the possibility of certain actions within the framework of the UN General Assembly, the creation of a special tribunal, how to strengthen and internationalize the national investigation and prosecution for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. All these issues are in the works, they are being discussed," he said. Representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice of the Netherlands and experts took part in the consultations. "We have held substantive consultations. We will move further along the track of finding the best options, opportunities both for the creation of a special tribunal regarding the crime of aggression against Ukraine and for strengthening the internationalization of the national investigation of the crime of aggression against Ukraine," Korynevych said. Korynevich emphasizes that cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC) is also very important for Ukraine. "I am convinced that the International Criminal Court should show good results regarding the investigation of the situation in Ukraine, it has all the tools for this. We absolutely support active cooperation with the ICC. The Special Tribunal will complement the work of the ICC. We see the special tribunal as a complementary mechanism to the ICC regarding the crime of aggression against Ukraine, a crime over which the ICC has no jurisdiction in our specific situation," he said. The ambassador on the special assignment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine emphasized that the crime of aggression against Ukraine "is the most obvious since the end of the Second World War. This crime of aggression against Ukraine cannot be left unanswered, because then it would mean that any dictator can do similar things, at any time, understanding that he will not be held accountable for it, but will be limited to the responsibility of middle-level commanders for committing war crimes or crimes against humanity".

NATO member countries conduct audits and revisions of all weapons and ammunition to find remnants in warehouses that can be transferred to Ukraine. As Censor.NET informs, the head of the permanent delegation of Ukraine to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Yehor Chernev announced this on Facebook. "We had a conversation with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg about the exhaustion of weapons and ammunition for Ukraine in Western countries. Yes, indeed, there is such a trend, because no one was preparing for such a large-scale and intense war. But NATO makes every effort and includes all available tools so that the flow of aid not only does not decrease but also increases. 1. NATO countries conduct audits and revisions of all weapons and ammunition to find remnants in warehouses that can be transferred to Ukraine. 2. NATO, by way of exception, allowed its members not to comply with the mandatory norms for the availability of weapons and ammunition to transfer part of the intact stocks to Ukraine. 3. NATO is negotiating with the world's largest arms manufacturers on long-term contracts, calculated for months and years in advance. Part of the manufactured weapons will go to replenish the arsenals of countries that have exhausted their reserves after handing them over to Ukraine, part will go directly to us," he said. According to Chernev, no one "is going to leave Ukraine, no matter how long the war lasts." "NATO is ready to support us as long as necessary. And this means that in the war of resources and the arms race, Russia will definitely lose. And we will win. There are no options," he concluded. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3382251
