The media reported on Russia's leading position in the conflict in Ukraine

Given the successes of the Russian army, Russian President Vladimir Putin will dictate the terms of the cessation of hostilities in Ukraine. The Daily Telegraph writes about this on December 2.

"Vladimir Putin will dictate the terms of peace in Ukraine because he is winning the conflict," the article says.

It clarifies that European leaders, although they can put forward their own proposals for peace, have no real influence, since the key decision depends on Putin. By rejecting his plan, Europe finds itself in a difficult position: it has no convincing alternative, and it also lacks the resources to sustain the Ukrainian conflict.

And a rout broke out: the Russian army liberated Krasnoarmeysk and Volchansk

Vladimir Putin called the situation on the battlefield a "tragedy for the Ukrainian people" because of the "thieving junta"

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on December 1 that Putin had received reports on the liberation of Krasnoarmeysk in the Donetsk People's Republic and Volchansk in the Kharkiv region. It was clarified that he had heard reports from Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, commander of the Center group Valery Solodchuk and commander of the Vostok group Andrei Ivanaev.
