When Russians come kneeling for peace, take them to Pereiaslav – Duda to Zelenskyy
During a visit to Latvia, Polish President Andrzej Duda recalled his recent conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which he suggested that after Russia's defeat, a peace treaty with Russia should be signed in Pereiaslav, Kyiv Oblast [Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, Head of Ukrainian Cossack State, had the controversial Pereiaslav Convent in this city in 1654, where the Ukrainian Cossacks had voted for a military alliance with Muscovy and accepted the Treaty of Pereiaslav. It has resulted in a chain of historical events, which led to dissolution and then termination of the Ukrainian state by Russian Empire – ed.].

Details: Duda emphasised that he deeply believes in Ukraine's victory over the hated enemy.
Quote: "I said: ‘Volodymyr, looking at our history, at how our paths once diverged, I would like to ask you very kindly – when you defeat Russia, when the Russians come kneeling for peace, take them to Pereiaslav and let them sign a peace treaty with you there, and thus cancel all those years of Soviet and Russian influence and slavery from the time of the tsar until recently, from which you are now defending yourself again’," Duda said.
Background: Earlier in January, Duda urged the West to increase its military support for Ukraine, as a key moment in the war against Russia could come in the coming weeks.
