according to russian media reports on september 15, igor zhovkova, deputy director of the ukrainian presidential office, said that ukraine intends to submit a plan for peacefully resolving the russia-ukraine conflict to russia through countries that have "dialogue relations" with russia at the second "peace summit" on the ukrainian issue that is being planned. if russia is ready to discuss this plan, ukraine is willing to meet with russian representatives at the meeting.
regarding the peace talks, russian president vladimir putin recently stated at the eastern economic forum that russia has never refused to negotiate on the ukrainian issue, but it was not based on "unreal demands."
russian security council secretary sergei shoigu said that there would be no negotiations with ukraine until the ukrainian troops were driven out of the territory of kursk oblast, russia.

sun zhuangzhi, director of the institute of russian, east european and central asian studies, chinese academy of social sciencesin an interview with a reporter from china media group's global information radio, it was analyzed that the current prospects for russia and ukraine to achieve dialogue through indirect or direct means are not optimistic.
first, there is still a lack of basis and conditions for negotiations. for example, the two sides are now negotiating with very different plans. putin mentioned the agreement reached when the conflict first broke out, while ukraine insisted on the plan mentioned at the "peace summit".
second, even if they want to talk, it is difficult for the two sides to reach a consensus on their positions now. no one wants to compromise. both sides hope to gain a more favorable situation on the battlefield and increase bargaining chips for negotiations.
third, the negotiations are also affected by some other factors, especially the west's continued addition of fuel to the flames, which has a direct impact on whether the negotiations can be held and whether they can achieve results.
us president's national security advisor sullivan recently stated that the united states plans to introduce a so-called new and "substantial" support plan for ukraine by the end of september. sullivan declared that us president biden is determined to "put ukraine in the best position possible" during the remainder of his term.
ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky will visit the united states later this month. in a video speech, zelensky called on the united states not to delay providing military aid to ukraine.

in this regard, sun zhuangzhi analyzed that zelensky will put forward a number of specific demands during his visit to the united states.
first, we hope that the aid promised by the united states can be delivered as soon as possible.
second, we hope that the united states will increase aid to ukraine during the remainder of president biden’s term.
third, we hope that the united states will speed up coordination with nato allies to provide more assistance to ukraine.
fourth, we hope that the united states can lift restrictions on the use of american weapons to strike russian targets.
