the opportunity emerged to get out of the negotiations, which was very clear were leading, if not today, then tomorrow to the complete destruction of Ukraine. And then, of course, once the territory started to be liberated, things like Butcha and massacres of the civilian population came to the fore, which made also very difficult, if not impossible,
