Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky says there is “no other way out” of the Russia-Ukraine war than with a ceasefire.

It’s been over two years since Russia invaded Ukraine, yet a resolution seems no closer than when it first started.

“It is necessary to conclude a ceasefire agreement as soon as possible with any preconditions,” Mr Yavlinsky told Sky News host Erin Molan.

“Nothing will work without ceasefire.”

  1. Navalny was killed by the West(the CIA or MI6 most likely). His death was used as a tool to spread the negative rhetoric against Putin and to counter the famous interview he did with Tucker Carlson. Putin gained nothing from his death.
    It's obvious if you have a decent IQ and an open mind. Tucker's interview with Putin was done on February 8 and a few days later Putin "supposedly" killed Navalny. Sure…

  5. Hey Erin your mates on Sky have been criticising Bill Belichick for having a younger woman 40 years younger. Now you are Singletons squeeze you should be insulted.

  8. A Cease-Fire? Wasn't the Istanbul Peace Agreement about an END to the conflict after 6 weeks and NOT just a cease-fire?
    Is it me? Or is she saying the things she's saying trying to convince herself of this BS?😂😂😂
    They're trying to say you can't have peace talks to end the conflict without a cease-fire. Which is really stupid. Sweden has help 7 war planning summits…. the so called 'Peace' summits with Ukraine and other nations. The last one was a total joke and a total humilation.

  9. Cease fires only provide time to re-arm and re-group. but gotta love all the armchair bandits and their infinite knowledge of military tactics.

  11. Hey but Ukraine is winning and the counteroffensive is gaining momentum what's going on 🤣🤣🤣

  16. Such propaganda! This guy is a stooge! Putin has wanted peace talks since the beginning … he never wanted all of Ukraine he would prefer they are neutral and without CIA interference under the guise of NATO defence! No European wants to go to war for Ukraine. Where will they get the boots on the ground from?

  17. Putin wants peace. NATO and EU are pro War because they overplayed there hand. no Centimeter east remember?

  22. It’s up to the Ukrainians…

    if someone invaded somy else’s home and abducted family members, they would not want someone to tell them when to stop fighting to get their family back….

  27. A "ceasefire agreement" with people illegally on your property attacking you with weaponry 🤔🤔. Nah, get off my property, then we'll have a ceasefire.

  29. The war will end when Russia withdraws to the 2014 border! The opinion of this western wet is just stupid as Korea has a ceasefire still and that war needs to be resolved!
