Putin's Looja as once Milosevic's in Kosovo HINA Chon people in Belarus for talks with Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin, likely baffled by Ukrainian resistance to Russian troops, has reportedly experienced in the jargon “a tiring fort” to show he is interested in achieving peace. He has sent a delegation to Albania for talks copying a practice of Serb leaders in 1998 that led delegations to Kosovo as if to solve “all problems”, in which the Kosovo side obviously did not appear. President Zelenskiy has done so, who has said he does not go to negotiations in a country that is participating in aggression.

Trying to take the world's eyes away from the Russian troops' offensive to a sovereign country, Ukraine, Vladimir Putin on Sunday has tried to make a maneuver by sending a delegation to Belarus for talks with the Russian side.

Through Russian media and its spokesman Dmitry Peskov, he carried news to the world that the Russian delegation has arrived in Belarus for talks with Ukrainians, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to Russian news agency RIA Novosti, The Guardian reports.

According to him, the delegation included representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defence and other departments, including the presidential administration.

Belarus's Foreign Ministry said it has prepared everything necessary for the meeting and is now committed to resolving protocol issues.

But, of course, part of this circus did not become President Zelenskiy who rather knows that Belarus is Putin's yard from where aggression against Ukraine is being carried out, writes Express.

If there were no aggressive actions from Belarus, we could talk in Minsk. Of course we want peace, we want to meet, we want the war to end. Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Istanbul, Baku we have offered to the Russians. We are open for talks from any other city, from which no missiles are launched against us. Only then can negotiations be fair and can end war”, the Ukrainian president said.

But this attempt by Putin, who today appeared in a TV address trying to freeze the morale of the Russian army, seems familiar.

The same has been applied to the Serb side in Kosovo during 1998 when sending delegations to Pristina to solve “all problems in the province”. With instructions from Slobodan Milosevic, this was done by the president of the Republic of Serbia, Milan Milutinovic, who in mid-November 1998 had invited the Kosovo side to dialogue. At the time, the Serbian delegation at the helm with Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Ratko Markovic appeared in the facility where the violent administration of “ekeskti district council” expected the Kosovar side to talk without international mediation, but of course the Kosovo leaders of the time did not go into such circles, which Serbia organised for the sole purpose of bringing the international community's message that it is for dialogue but that it does not want “Albanian parathetists<5>
