Selenskyj urges pressure against Russia: Waffenruhe now challenged!

Ukraina, Land - Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj asked comprehensive measures in a recent video message on Saturday, March 29, 2025 to put real pressure on Russia. The aim is to bring about an unconditional ceasefire. Selenskyj was concerned about the long unanswered response to an American proposal to the ceasefire and emphasizes that he was convinced that such an agreement would already be possible if the international actors were determined. In his speech, he also thanked the countries that increased the pressure through economic sanctions against the Kremlin to make progress in the peace negotiations.

The United States have held talks with delegations from Russia and Ukraine in recent weeks. There were some agreements about a fire break in the Black Sea and on attacks against energy systems. However, both sides continue to accuse each other of saboting the efforts of peace.

geopolitical effects of the conflict

The Ukraine conflict has far-reaching geopolitical effects not only on Europe, but also on the international security architecture. Historically, Ukraine has experienced tensions between East and West since its independence in 1991, which culminated in the annexation of the Crimea in 2014. These events led to international sanctions against Russia and strengthened the diplomatic efforts of the European Union to support the Ukrainian government.

Ukraine is characterized by its complex ethnic-religious structure, especially by the Russian-speaking population in the east, which plays a special role in the conflict. The EU has different positions among its Member States, which makes a uniform western policy compared to Russia. While the conflict continues, the struggle between the United States and Russia remains a central topic in the region.

recommendations for sustainable conflict resolution

In order to achieve a sustainable solution to the conflict, experts recommend strengthening diplomatic efforts through multilateral negotiations and the inclusion of civil society in the peace process. Measures such as the troop deduction and ceasefire are necessary to de -escalate the tensions. Long -term stability could be promoted by reconstruction and reconciliation, while effective media work could help prevent disinformation and create an informed public In summary, it can be said that the current pressure on Russia and the ongoing diplomatic conversations are decisive in order to steer the Ukraine conflict in a direction that could ultimately enable peace and stability for the region. However, this requires the commitment of all international actors concerned.
