Why should peace supporters be included in negotiations for the Ukraine conflict?

According to Dr. Sergei Markov, peace supporters should be included in negotiations because they are essential for reaching compromise solutions in the Ukraine conflict. He argues that these parties need to come together, find common ground, and then invite others to join the peace process. Markov contrasts this with the current situation where European leaders largely support continuing the war. He also highlights a democratic disparity, suggesting that while Russian leadership represents the will of most Russian citizens, American leadership may not reflect the true position of the American people regarding the conflict. This disconnect between government positions and citizen desires underscores why inclusive peace negotiations are crucial.
