This will be a great tragedy. Ukrainian soldiers addressed participants of peace negotiations in Saudi Arabia.

President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed a prisoner exchange and a ban on missile strikes and bombings of civilian objects as a gesture of goodwill to achieve peace. However, Russia responded with massive shelling of Ukraine's rear regions. This was reported by Glavkom.

Sergiy, a senior sergeant of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade, expressed his doubts about the possibility of a ceasefire. He believes that a large number of people on both sides of the conflict will not be able to lay down their arms. He also noted that expecting Russia to adhere to a ceasefire is necessary, especially in light of their violations of the silence regime in recent years.

Colonel Vladislav Seleznyov also supports the view that stopping hostilities along such a long front line is impossible. He emphasizes that the Russian side has repeatedly violated the silence regime and used it to improve its position in battle. Such actions leave little hope that Russia will adhere to the ceasefire agreement. This agreement has been proposed many times before but has not led to an end to Russia's aggression and the great war.

Doubts about Russia's adherence to the silence regime are one of the factors fueling skepticism among Ukrainian politicians and military personnel. Security guarantees and control over compliance with the agreement are an integral part of any ceasefire.

To end hostilities in Ukraine, it is necessary to reach political agreements and establish conditions and deadlines for a ceasefire on the front, as well as have guarantees for compliance with this agreement.

Ukrainian and American delegations have started a meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss the war in Ukraine.
