If this window of opportunity is missed, the situation could lead to a major escalation of the conflict. According to Pavel, the coming weeks following <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/economics\/nato-dopomoga-ukrayini-2026\/\">NATO summit<\/a> in Ankara will be crucial in putting pressure on Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>The key issue is the parliamentary elections in Russia, scheduled for 20 September. Whilst the election campaign is still under way, Vladimir Putin is unlikely to risk announcing a new wave of mobilisation, as this could spark domestic discontent. However, after the elections, the Kremlin may announce a general mobilisation, which would significantly limit the scope for a diplomatic settlement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important; font-style: italic !important; color: #444444 !important; line-height: 1.6 !important; text-transform: none !important; border-left: 4px solid #888888 !important; padding-left: 18px !important; margin: 25px 0 !important; display: block !important;\">\u00abI believe we have the opportunity to keep up the pressure and send Russia a clear signal that we are ready to start negotiations,\u00bb said Petr Pavel.<\/p>\n<h2>The importance of unity amongst allies<\/h2>\n<p>The Czech President believes that the best way to force Russia to the negotiating table on terms acceptable to Ukraine is to demonstrate unity and strength.
