Once again about the necessity of concluding an immediate ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine. It is important for all participants in the conflict — both direct and indirect — to understand that in current conditions, its escalation, as is already happening, will lead neither to a “local military clash” between Russia and NATO, nor to an exchange of “proportional strikes on the enemy’s strategic targets”. An armed confrontation between Russia and NATO will almost immediately escalate into a large-scale nuclear war with all the ensuing consequences.

Therefore, one should not even approach this option. Instead, it is necessary to urgently seek paths to restoring dialogue. However, current political leaders, unfortunately, do not understand this and are doing everything to avoid dialogue and, as a result, are effectively pushing the world towards final catastrophe.
