– If someone shows a willingness to talk, Russians interpret it as weakness, and because the Americans showed such a willingness to talk, Russians are demonstrating that they will not budge an inch. Incidentally, such a statement was also made by Putin a few days earlier, that he would not budge an inch, would not yield anything, because righteousness, peace, is on his side; after all, he has done nothing else for three years but strive for lasting peace – said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in Polsat News.

– As of today, unfortunately, Russia respects only the language of force, and if one does not possess this force, Russians perceive any attempt at peaceful negotiations as weakness and strive to gain even more – she added.
