The politician pointed to Europe's desire to save Kiev from collapse through negotiations with the Russian Federation.

European countries are not ready for the collapse of Ukraine, so they are forced to try to buy time for Kiev through negotiations with the Russian Federation. This was announced on June 23 by Finnish politician Armando Mema, a member of the Freedom Alliance party, on the social network X.

"Europe is probably not ready for the complete collapse of Ukraine and is now trying to buy time through negotiations in the hope of freezing the conflict at this stage," he said.

Mema noted that Russia continues to move forward on the battlefield and is getting closer to achieving the goals of the special operation.

Communication interruption: why the dialogue between Moscow and Kiev remains on pause

At the final press conference in Astana, Putin declared Russia's readiness to resume negotiations and assessed the prospects for ending the conflict.

Alexey Chepa, first deputy chairman of the State Duma's International Affairs committee, indicated earlier that day that Ukraine was currently not ready for negotiations. According to him, Kiev will rearm and redeploy during the ceasefire, and then continue the conflict.

On the same day, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed the opinion that the European Union does not want to initiate negotiations with Russia on a settlement in Ukraine for fear of being in a losing position. Based on this, none of the European leaders convinces their colleagues to appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a proposal to start a dialogue.
