After Zelensky's visit to Washington, Kremlin representatives spoke of "raising the level of delegations", difficult negotiations and additional conditions for Russians in Ukraine, explained in the CNN article. Analyzing Putin's recent events and position, the analyst concluded that the Kremlin's head will not meet Zelensky either in the near future.
CNN gathered a series of statements of Moscow and noted that it is not necessary to be surprised by the various conditions and requirements that are heard daily by Russian officials. According to the representative of the Catham House analytical center Orissa Lutsevich, this should not be surprised, as a natural response to the assumption that Putin will ever agree to some conversations with Zelensky. "In Kremlin, this means that they are not ready to agree with it.
The article explains that Putin considers Ukraine "an integral part of Russia" and its separation is a "historical mistake. " The analyst believes that the Kremlin head will consider a great failure if he has to meet with the President of Ukraine, whom he considers "a joke from a country that does not exist.
" Another reason for the impossibility of meeting is the work of Russian propaganda, which is accustomed to saying that Ukraine is like a "puppet of the event", and therefore Putin does not need to see a "illegitimate person". However, the CNN article specifies that there is a single option when the Kremlin head will meet the Ukrainian President. It is about fulfilling the key requirements of Moscow and the complete surrender of Kiev with the rejection of the territory, power, law.
At the same time, the Russians hope that in order to obtain the desired result, it is enough for them to contact only Donald Trump. "Putin has no reason to agree at this stage. If Trump's pressure on Zelensky has not yet produced the desired results, Moscow can always take advantage of military force. The only indefinite moment for Russia at this time is who Trump will be accused of when these recent peaceful efforts fail," CNN summed up.
It should be noted that on August 20, Politico media reported the possibility of meeting Zelensky and Putin in Budapest. It was indicated that the meeting would be tripartite, as Trump would participate in it. The fact that the event can take place is evidenced by the White House's preparatory secret service, the article is said.
