Russian President Putin's latest remarks have sparked attention, claiming that reconciliation with Ukraine is inevitable, while also mentioning nuclear weapons, reflecting Russia's perspective and strategy in the conflict, as well as potential barriers to peace.

(Background information: Bitcoin has surged past $85,000) The U.S. government avoids a shutdown crisis, with Trump declaring a 'high chance' that the Russia-Ukraine war will 'end'. Russian President Putin made his latest statement regarding the Ukraine conflict on national television on Sunday, claiming that Russia has the strength and means to achieve a 'reasonable resolution' to the Ukraine conflict, stating that it is merely a matter of time. He emphasized that there is no need for Russia to use nuclear weapons in the current Ukraine conflict, and he personally 'hopes it will never happen' that nuclear weapons are used. This statement seems to reveal that Putin believes the end of the conflict is an inevitable outcome. It is worth noting that these remarks were made against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine conflict entering a stalemate phase, with the international community continuing to seek mediation solutions, giving both the timing and content of his statements special significance, raising high concerns among the international community. The ceasefire conditions set by Russia pose severe practical challenges. Although Putin expressed support for a ceasefire, he simultaneously put forward specific conditions, which are key to achieving genuine reconciliation. He called for in-depth discussions with the U.S. and other partners to ensure that any ceasefire agreement can truly bring about long-term peace and address the 'root causes' of the conflict. These demands include the cessation of external military assistance to Ukraine during the ceasefire period, and Russia must maintain actual control over regions that have been unilaterally declared to be incorporated into Russia. From Russia's perspective, the understanding of resolving the 'root causes' of the conflict essentially translates to requiring Ukraine to make concessions on key issues such as territorial sovereignty and future NATO membership. Putin even suggested placing Ukraine under temporary international administration to facilitate new elections and reach a peace agreement, widely interpreted as an attempt to undermine the legitimacy and power of Ukraine's current government, paving the way for a more favorable political situation for Russia. However, there are significant fundamental differences between these conditions proposed by Russia and the positions of Ukraine and its Western allies, which is the main barrier leading to the current stalemate in peace negotiations and the lack of substantive progress. The complexity of the nuclear weapons issue: threats, doctrines, and potential risks. Regarding nuclear weapons, while Putin emphasized that there is currently no need to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine and expressed the hope that nuclear weapons will never need to be deployed, his remarks are consistent with previous statements. However, Russian officials, such as Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council (formerly president and now a senior official in the Russian security sector), and former defense ministers have issued stern warnings. If the sovereignty of Russia or its ally Belarus is threatened, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons. This stance is part of a revised nuclear doctrine approved by Putin, which includes the possibility of nuclear response if Russia suffers a conventional weapons attack, implying that Russia's nuclear threshold may have been lowered. Despite such threats, many security experts believe that Putin's rhetoric regarding nuclear weapons is more of a strategic 'bluff' than a serious consideration of specific plans to deploy nuclear weapons. They analyze that the actual use of nuclear weapons would not only be difficult to effectively advance Russia's geopolitical goals in Ukraine but could lead to extremely strong backlash and sanctions from the international community, even resulting in an uncontrollable escalation of the situation. However, the potential risks of nuclear weapons always exist, and if Russia were to choose to use nuclear weapons, it could trigger a series of serious international consequences, including a significant increase in U.S. military aid to Ukraine and even potential non-nuclear strikes against Russian military targets, while the international community would also significantly enhance diplomatic isolation and economic pressure on Russia. The current stalemate in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the challenges of international mediation. Currently, both Russia and Ukraine face significant deadlock in military actions on the battlefield and in peace dialogues at the negotiating table. The fighting continues, and due to irreconcilable differences over core issues such as territorial control and Western military assistance to Ukraine, effective peace negotiations have been difficult to initiate. European countries like France continue to call for unconditional ceasefire based on respect for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to advance a fair and legitimate peace resolution. Clearly, Russia's hardline stance on key issues is a core factor leading to the prolonged resolution of this conflict, with the dawn of peace remaining elusive.
