The Kremlin again with the help of the event bows Ukraine to territorial concessions - isw

On the eve of Russian leadership representatives, complaints were that Ukraine is against dialogue. On May 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin in a telephone conversation with Brazil President Lula Da Silva expressed his "openness to the Russian side to a dialogue on a political and diplomatic track, which is still blocked by Kiev and his Western sponsors.

" "Putin's statement does not indicate that Russia is interested in negotiations with Ukraine, the Kremlin has not created serious prerequisites for negotiations and has not abandoned its maximum purposes - to force the Ukrainian government to capitulate," the analysts say. According to them, the Kremlin is probably trying to distribute false statements about the readiness to negotiate with Ukraine against the background of a visit to Moscow Special Representative of China for Eurasia Lee Huey.

Researchers refer to media reports that a European (but not accurate) diplomat said China's special representative that a frozen conflict in Ukraine is not in favor of the international community, and that Europe will not refuse to support Ukraine. Another diplomat reported that China was the main interest of Russia to win. In this case, there will be no threat to nuclear weapons.

Such statements are likely to indicate that China is trying to click on Ukraine by means of an event and to incline to ceasefire. And the Kremlin, thus, wants to stop the supply of weapons before the counter -offensive of Ukraine. Recall that after Ukraine has restored borders, Putin can resort to NATO countries such as the United Kingdom. The British military leadership is afraid of rocket strikes and submarines of the Russian Federation.
