On 16 March, 2025, GGI's Vitalii Rishko appeared on TVP World to discuss the latest diplomatic developments surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war and the possibility of a ceasefire. The interview focused on recent bilateral consultations between Russia and the US, ongoing fighting in the Kursk region, and the need for Europe to strengthen its own security if US commitment continues to diminish. Rishko highlighted that, thus far, there are no necessary preconditions for conducting effective negotiations, as Russia's position and ambitions have not changed, and it does not appear willing to make concessions. Meanwhile, its demands continue to expand, encompassing issues that Ukraine is unlikely to agree to.
