Back then, it was for the first time possible to organize a face-to-face dialogue between the leaders of <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Ukraine<\/span>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The <span class=\"xn-location\">Minsk<\/span> agreements opened the way to negotiations and compromise. Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t work out. We know the result now<\/i>&quot;, Nazarbayev stated.<\/p>\n<p>In his opinion, the reality on the battlefield today is that a way out of the Ukrainian deadlock is <b>possible only through negotiations<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;<i>In my opinion this severe conflict in the center of <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> <\/i><b><i>could be stopped only by great powers, <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span><\/i><\/b><i>, inviting also other leaders to dialogue if there is a will and desire on their side. And of course, always considering the interests of <span class=\"xn-location\">Ukraine<\/span><\/i>&quot;, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Club&#8217;s participants shared this vision about the current deadlock in war.<\/p>\n<p>For instance,<b> <span class=\"xn-person\">Charles Kupchan<\/span><\/b>, Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations said: &quot;<i>We have a zugzwang on the battlefield, <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span> has no success in 2023, and neither does <span class=\"xn-location\">Ukraine<\/span>. We also see that it will be much more difficult for the U.S. to maintain support for <span class=\"xn-location\">Ukraine<\/span><\/i>&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Considering <span class=\"xn-location\">China&#8217;s<\/span> approach to this conflict, Senior colonel <b><span class=\"xn-person\">Zhou Bo<\/span><\/b>, a prominent Chinese military expert from Tsinghua University, emphasized that <span class=\"xn-location\">Beijing<\/span> should not be blamed for adopting its current position.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;<i>The outbreak of World War III would have been predetermined, if only <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> supported <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia&#8217;s<\/span> position. However, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> is in favor of a peaceful settlement, and has made its own proposals<\/i>&quot;<i>, <\/i>he said.<\/p>\n<p>All participants, including former Prime minister of <span class=\"xn-location\">Spain<\/span> <b>Jos&eacute; Luis Rodr&iacute;guez Zapatero<\/b>&nbsp;stated the importance of having a neutral platform for negotiations. <span class=\"xn-location\">Kazakhstan<\/span> with its multi-vector foreign policy could become a perfect place for the resolution of the Ukrainian crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASTANA, Kazakhstan, Dec. 15, 2023 \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; Yesterday, the VII meeting of the Astana Club dedicated to the topic &quot;A new formula for peace: the world on the verge of transformation&quot; was held in Kazakhstan&#8217;s capital, Astana.
