Putin charged that Russia hasn't been invited to join June’s talks, while pointing at Swiss recognition that a peace process can’t happen without Russia.
Putin has repeatedly said that he sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022 to protect Russian interests and prevent Ukraine from posing a major security threat to Russia by joining NATO.
Kyiv and its allies have denounced Russia's military campaign as an unprovoked act of aggression.
Putin has claimed that Russian forces have the upper hand after the failure of Ukraine’s counteroffensive last year, arguing that Ukraine and the West will sooner or later have to accept a settlement on Moscow’s terms.
Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Putin has rejected a peace plan when he actually mocks it and says Russia will not accept any enforced plans that ignore its interests. Secondly, the author quotes Putin saying Switzerland's government invited him to join June's talks but then dismisses his participation by pointing out Swiss recognition of the need for Russia in a peace process. This is an example of selective reporting and manipulation of facts to support Putin's position. Thirdly, Lavrov warns that prospective negotiations will only be successful if they take Moscow's interests into account, which implies that any agreement reached would not necessarily benefit Ukraine or the West.
Putin charged that Russia't hasn't been invited to join June's talks, while pointing at Swiss recognition that a peace process can't happen without Russia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned last week that prospective negotiations to end the fighting in Ukraine could be successful only if they take Moscows interests into account, dismissing a planned round of peace talks as a Western ruse to rally broader international support for Kyiv.
Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing Putin's statement without providing any evidence or context for his claims. Additionally, the author presents a dichotomous depiction of Switzerland and its government as either inviting Russia to join peace talks or dismissive of Russian interests in Ukraine.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Russia is absent from the talks on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's peace formula when in fact they are not invited to any of the meetings. Secondly, it quotes Andriy Yermak stating that if Ukraine's territorial integrity is not restored then soon other aggressors elsewhere in the world will be able to seize parts of other countries and start staging fake elections there. However, this statement implies that Russia has already annexed Crimea and is currently occupying eastern Ukraine which are both internationally recognized as part of Ukraine. This statement also implies that Russia would not accept a frozen conflict in the region when they have been actively involved in the war since 2014.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when it states that Russia is absent and war grinds on without providing any evidence or context for this claim. This statement assumes the reader's knowledge of the conflict and may be seen as biased towards Ukraine's position. Additionally, there are multiple instances where quotes from leaders are presented without any context or analysis, which can lead to a lack of clarity in understanding their positions on certain issues.

Zelenskyy has presented a 10-point peace formula that, among other things, seeks the expulsion of all Russian forces from Ukraine
Bias
(0%)
The article is biased in favor of Ukraine and against Russia. It presents a one-sided view of the conflict that ignores the legitimate interests and concerns of both parties. It also uses deceptive language to portray Zelenskyy's peace formula as reasonable and realistic, while dismissing any compromise or dialogue with Moscow as unacceptable or impossible. The article does not provide a balanced or objective analysis of the situation on the ground, nor does it acknowledge the human rights violations and atrocities committed by both sides. It also relies heavily on statements from Zelenskyy's chief of staff, who is clearly biased in favor of his client and has no authority to speak for Russia or its interests.
Cassis acknowledged “many challenges” and negotiators were working to “modulate” the fine print of the peace formula to make it more workable as a blueprint for the way forward. He said that neither Ukraine nor Russia was ready to make territorial concessions.
Co-host Ignazio Cassis, the Swiss foreign minister, said that 83 delegations were on hand for the talks in Davos. 'We are going to do all we can to end this war.'
Leaders of talks on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s peace formula on Sunday said a growing number of countries are working to help set the groundwork for Russia to join one day, an admittedly distant goal as the nearly two-year war grinds on and with neither side willing to cede ground.
The last round, in Malta in October, involved envoys from 65 countries.
Yermak said that if Ukraine’s territorial integrity – now violated by Russia including through illegal annexations – isn’t restored, “soon other aggressors elsewhere in the world will be able to seize parts of other countries and start staging fake elections there.”

Russia would like to participate in negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine.
President Putin has repeatedly emphasised that Russia is open to negotiations and would like to negotiate to achieve their goals. However, under the conditions where the Ukrainians have effectively prohibited this negotiation process, Moscow does not see any horizon ahead yet.
Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the Kremlin claims they would like to negotiate but then goes on to state that under current conditions there is no horizon ahead for negotiations. This contradicts their initial statement and shows a lack of sincerity towards finding a peaceful solution. Secondly, the article quotes Peskov stating that Russia needs to understand what is being discussed at the summit in Switzerland before agreeing to participate, which implies they are not fully committed to negotiating in good faith.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia "would like" to participate in negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine.

The author of the article is Ukrainska Pravda and they have a history of bias against Russia. The statement made by Dmitry Peskov that Russia would like to participate in negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine contradicts Putin's previous statements where he has stated that Moscow will not negotiate under certain conditions. Additionally, the author quotes Peskov stating that some representatives of continents will brief Russia on the details of the peace plan developed at a summit in Switzerland which implies an endorsement by those countries and could be seen as propaganda for Putin's agenda.
"first, we need to understand what is being discussed there, what the Peace Formula is about".
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia would like to participate in negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine.
"We have repeatedly stated that, of course, a negotiating process without Russia is senseless; essentially, it's a futile negotiation process. President Putin has repeatedly emphasised that we are open to negotiations, and we would like to negotiate to achieve our goals. However, under the conditions where the Ukrainians have effectively prohibited this negotiation process, we do not see any horizon ahead yet."
