Russia pulls Ukraine to peace talks: experts explain what the trap is here (video)
In fact, Russia wants to freeze the war, because it cannot fully control any of the occupied regions of Ukraine, which the Russian Federation has introduced as its territories in the Russian Constitution. The head of the Center for Analysis and Strategies Igor Chalenko and the Candidate of Political Science, the head of the Association of small communities, Alexei Buryachenko, howled the focus.
That is why, according to Chalenko, in the case of negotiations with the Russian Federation, everything will end with a situational pause until the Russian army accumulates forces to continue the war. If Ukraine agrees to such negotiations, then it should come from the standpoint of diplomatic force and in terms of the situation on the battlefield. "I can make a prediction that by April 2024 we will receive a positive news about the approval of the military support package," Chalenko notes.
"So we must come from the position of force, not from the capitulants, as Russia wants. " Alexei Buryachenko believes that the configuration of a profitable peace for Ukraine has not yet developed. In turn, the occupiers, through all media and even Ukrainian "experts," try to promote their narrative to negotiate to keep the captured territories.
"If you see on TV screens or on the Internet the so -called opinions that hint at the need for urgent negotiations, then you need to think about whose mill they pour water," Buryachenko emphasizes. "I personally saw at least five experts in the media space. The thought is synchronized with the Kremlin's narratives on this topic.
" Oleksiy Buryachenko notes that Ukraine's defense strategy is now transformed in order to have an advantage on the battlefield in 2024 and already with an advantage, perhaps, may already think about negotiations. For example, the focus is on fortifications, on the increase in the MIC four times with the EU countries and the transition to a technological war, which will significantly reduce the number of executions in the Armed Forces.
In turn, Igor Chalenko points out on a dangerous trend when China and even some EU representatives try to separate the issue of Donbass's liberation from Crimea. In his opinion, so they want to "rub" the responsibility of Russia as the initiator of aggression, and to put everything on the issue of the Minsk agreements.
According to Alexei Buryachenko, China will not make sharp movements, but will act "for all well against all bad" and will continue to receive cheap energy from the Russian Federation. China is advantageous that Russia is weak and their feudal relations, that is, dependence on Beijing Moscow, remained. Earlier it was reported that the statement of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about his readiness for the peace agreement is worth nothing, the analyst Alexei Kopitko warns.
