What can you say about ongoing peace negotiations? – There is no professionalism, and there is a lot of willingness to settle it quickly – Zbigniew Pisarski, president of the board of the Kazimierz Pułaski Foundation, said in “Facts after Facts”. He sharply scored the United States.
President of the Management Board of the Foundation Kazimierz Pułaski Zbigniew Pisarski, a political scientist and commentator of foreign policy and international security, spoke in “Facts after facts” on TVN24 about the perspectives of the peace agreement in Ukraine.
– There was a bit of optimism, as these negotiations were prolonged. Then I began to have a little hope that President Trump after these preliminary declarations that he would arrange this room literally in 24 hours, a little bit (…) he subdued his expectations and simply sent professional negotiators – said the expert.
– On the other hand, at the moment when I saw that the free world was represented by a businessman from New York, Mr. Witkoff, and privately the cashier of President Trump, and on the other side the cashier of President Putin, it began to worry me – he said.
At the beginning of April, Witkoff hosted Kiriłła Dmitryyw, a Putin adviser to Business in Washington, who manages the Russian direct investment fund. The Reuters agency reported that about a week later Witkoff met with Dmitryjew in St. Petersburg.
In the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh took place on February 18 talks between US delegations and Russia about the war in Ukraine with the participation of the Secretary of the State of Marc Rubia, the Messenger of President Donald Trump for the Middle East Steve Witkoff and national security advisor Michael Waltz, as well as the head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov and adviser to the Russian leader Juriy Ruszakov.

“Silence forced by fear is not a peace”
Pisarski estimated that there is no professionalism in conversations about the possible truce. – And there is a lot of willingness to do it quickly. A bit like such a geester (commercial interest, especially dishonest): let's do and focus on doing business, which was somewhere in the waiting room – said TVN24 guest.
And he will emphasize: – As Nelson Mandela used to say, the silence forced by fear is not peace. And with this we have at the moment, I have an impression, dealing. That they are trying to close their mouths to Ukrainians.
“Location of the head on the scaffold”
The political scientist also commented on the reports of the Washington Post, which – citing people familiar with the case – said that the United States proposes the recognition of illegal Crimea's annexation by Russia and freezing of the front line under a peace agreement. According to the newspaper, the US proposals were presented in Ukraine in Paris last week.
Pisarski, when asked whether Ukraine could agree to this, said that “signing in public, unilaterally, this is the location of the head on the staff.” – These types of processes are arranged in such a way that a referendum is written and citizens are given to citizens: whether you want to accept one or other conditions – he assessed.
In his opinion, “unfortunately we are dealing with a rotten room, an attempt to force him.” – I have the impression that the Ukrainian administration simply wants to wait a little bit when the American government is trying to force such a rotten truce – he added.
