German Foreign Minister says peace for Ukraine may require \u00abpainful concessions\u00bb, including a referendum<\/h2>\n

Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany Johannes Wadefuhl<\/strong> said that achieving peace between Ukraine and Russia may require Kyiv to \u00abpainful and difficult concessions\u00bb<\/strong>. He said this in an interview with the German media, commenting on the prospects for future negotiations.<\/p>\n

According to Wadeful, diplomacy should work on compromises that capable of supporting both sides of the conflict<\/strong>, although these decisions may be \u00abextremely unpopular\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Referendum questions<\/h2>\n

In the context of possible agreements on the territories, the minister suggested that Ukraine would probably have to all-Ukrainian referendum<\/strong>, If the compromise is about borders.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that the issue of territorial integrity, according to the Constitution of Ukraine, should be approved by by popular vote<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Vadeful admitted that it was legally extremely difficult<\/strong>, since:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    in the period of martial law<\/strong> Referendums are prohibited,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Any such procedures require security guarantees, which cannot be provided at present.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Context.<\/h2>\n

    Wadefuhl's statement came amid intensified discussions on the terms of a possible peaceful settlement and initiatives by international partners. Germany remains one of the leading countries that supports Ukraine diplomatically, militarily and financially, but is also involved in the search for a long-term security model.<\/p>\n

    The discussion of possible compromises, including territorial ones, is a hotly contested issue in Ukrainian society, where any concessions in favour of the aggressor are seen as unacceptable.<\/p>\n

    Ukraine's response<\/h2>\n

    Official Kyiv has not yet commented on the German Foreign Minister's statement. The President and the government have repeatedly stated that the territorial integrity of Ukraine is not a subject of bargaining<\/strong>, and any decisions on peace must be in line with national interests.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
