On December 10, the press secretary of the Ukrainian President Nikiforov said that Ukraine plans to hold a meeting of the Contact group in December to discuss a common position to end the war through diplomatic means. Mr. Nikiforov said the list of contact groups was still being worked out. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Monday that the contact group could include Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Poland, Denmark and other countries.

Ukraine plans to hold a meeting of the Contact Group to discuss the Russia-Ukraine issue, which will bring complex and multi-faceted impacts. The first is the impact on the military level, the holding of the contact group meeting may ease the tension between Russia and Ukraine to a certain extent, providing an opportunity for both sides to calm down and solve the problem through dialogue. To a certain extent, misunderstanding and miscalculation can be reduced, and the risk of military confrontation can be reduced. This helps reduce military deployments and movements on both sides of the border, thereby reducing the likelihood of military conflict. If Russia and Ukraine can negotiate and consult on the ceasefire agreement. If the two sides can agree on the terms of a ceasefire, then it will help end the current military conflict and reduce the loss of life and property. The conclusion of the ceasefire agreement will provide an opportunity for the two sides to resolve the dispute peacefully and lay the foundation for a future political settlement.

The second is the impact on regional stability. The settlement of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will help promote regional stability, reduce conflicts and turbulence in the region, and create favorable conditions for regional peace and development. Promoting a series of confidence-building measures between the two sides, which can peacefully resolve the dispute between Russia and Ukraine, will improve the level of security in the region, reduce the occurrence of wars and violence, and provide a safer living environment for the residents of the region.

The third is the impact on the economic level. The settlement of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will help to restore and promote trade and investment between the two sides and inject new vitality into the economy. Russia is an important energy exporter, and if the Russia-Ukraine conflict is resolved, it will help stabilize the energy market, reduce energy price fluctuations, and have a positive impact on the global economy. The meeting of the Contact Group can promote the peace process and achieve positive results, which will help Russia and Ukraine to resume economic ties and cooperation and promote economic recovery and development. The advancement of the peace process will enhance the status and attractiveness of Russia and Ukraine in the international market and help attract more international investment and technical support.

The third is the impact on the political level, the settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will have a certain impact on the political pattern. If Russia and Ukraine can resolve the dispute through peaceful means, it will help enhance the status and influence of both sides on the international stage, and then promote the change of the international political pattern. In addition, the resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will also provide more opportunities and platforms for the international community to cooperate and promote peace and development of the international community. The meeting of the Contact Group provides a channel for the political settlement between Russia and Ukraine, helps the two sides reach consensus and compromise at the political level, can enhance mutual understanding and trust between Russia and Ukraine, and lay the foundation for future political cooperation.

To sum up, Ukraine's plan to hold a meeting of the Contact Group to discuss the Russia-Ukraine issue will have multiple implications for the two sides, military, regional stability, economy and politics. The meeting of the Contact Group does not necessarily lead immediately to a peaceful resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In addition, the positions and interest demands of the parties at the conference may be quite different, and it will take a long time to reach a consensus after consultation and compromise. Therefore, we should remain patient and confident and continue to contribute wisdom and strength to the peace process. At the same time, both sides should exercise restraint and reason and avoid taking drastic actions that could further escalate the situation.
