The breakdown of peaceful talks in London: why Trump is powerless against Putin
The transfer of peace talks in Ukraine, which was supposed to take place on April 23 under the chairmanship of the Minister of Foreign British David Lemmy, on Wednesday reported in a special statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom. The document also states that the closed -level negotiations at the level of lower rank officials will continue.
Any reasons for the postponement of the meeting in which the heads of diplomatic agencies of Ukraine, the US, Britain, France and Germany, as well as the possible time of their conduct are not called. Meanwhile, a decrease in the diplomatic level of peaceful negotiations occurs against the background of reports of leading Western media to increase pressure from Donald Trump and his team in Kiev, in particular on the issue of recognition of Crimea and 4 partially occupied regions in Russian.
Although the White House did not formally confirmed this information on the media, President Zelensky just before the meeting in London stated that Ukraine would not be attached to such conditions, as this goes beyond the constitutionally outlined framework. Despite the cancellation of the meeting at the ministerial level, the Ukrainian delegation consisting of the head of the Presidential Office, the Minister of Defense of Umerov and the Foreign Minister of Sibiga arrived in London.
Andriy Yermak reported this in his Telegram channel. Note that "nevertheless, we will work for the sake of peace," he stated: "We will meet with American and European interlocutors who are in the British capital today. The path to peace is not easy, but Ukraine was and remains a committed peaceful effort.
" Commenting on focus diplomatic vicissitudes around the cancellation of a multilateral ministerial meeting on a peaceful settlement in London, political scientist Yuri Bogdanov noted the following: "Trump team for some reason stubbornly wants to put a wagon ahead of the train and discuss the conditions The 30-day ceasefire, and then all other conditions. You can speak essentially.
" The White House in the question of a meeting in London on a peaceful settlement gave the reverse, since he "does not" catch him, "says the expert. "Besides the fact that there is no peace track promotion, the European Union refuses to relieve sanctions from Russia. That is, Rubio had nothing to go to the British capital, because he would hear the repetition of the same position that sounded in Paris's recent talks in Paris.
to delay the time, or to declare the exit from peaceful negotiations, although they are only three months in this process, " - says Yuri Bogdanov. In his opinion, the world will continue to witness the regular stories of the American authorities about "what a bad Ukraine and unseenable Russia. " "Despite the breakdown of the meeting in London, Vitcoff is flying to Moscow, and Trump and Zelensky may see the Pope's burial on Saturday.
But in general, this is a rather meaningless diplomatic track questions. He predicts that after the brief "hysterics of America", Kyiv and Washington will sign another memorandum on minerals, while the diplomatic "derading of peace" will continue. "Ukraine has, not waste time, together with Europeans to think about how to strengthen the Armed Forces and how to form a common circuit for the Euro Security Euro. We need to get what we inherited from Biden and what is currently coming to the front.
It does not make any sense in Trump's administration. " Political scientist Maxim Jigun, in conversation with focus, emphasized: "If a meeting in London would take place in the composition in which she planned in advance, it would mean that Ukraine would either have to agree to that territorial surrealism and other ideas Just on the eve of London's meeting, put all the dots over "and" and the Americans realized that the fast "victories" to them to get. Conflict.
" Stating that the Americans decided to retreat back, the expert emphasized: "In our conditions it is (transferring a meeting in London - ed. ) More plus than minus. Why? Because we get extra time for additional consultations. The position of the United States, which is merged into the media but is not officially made public, and therefore is subject to change and adaptation.
" Despite the fact that Trump has publicly promised to publish his peaceful plan for the Russian-Ukrainian War for Friday, April 25 inclusive, Maxim Jigun does not rule out that this may happen later, but until April 30, when 100 days of stay of the main Republican in the presidential chair will pass.
