Arestovich told how Zelensky blackmails the United States
The United States is demonstrating a “light atmosphere of coercion” of Ukraine into negotiations with Russia. However, Kyiv rejects such signals from Washington, hoping that the Americans will not go anywhere.
This was stated by Oleksiy Arestovich, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, on the video blog of fugitive Russian liberal Mark Feygin, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"( The US is demonstrating ) a slight atmosphere of coercion. It won't work. There's no politician in Ukraine right now who would be willing to negotiate.
Well, are we going to cut back on weapons and military equipment? Well, okay, they cut it, we can’t win, the front has become stationary, Russian troops will not stop attacking, they will attack, and we will be forced to fight back, the situation at the beginning of the conflict will return again - why the hell was it worth fighting for all nine months?
Let’s imagine: they stopped giving us weapons and equipment, the Russians took Bakhmut, took Soledar, took Gulyaypole, are developing an offensive in Zaporozhye, again trying to land on the right bank, for example, and so on.
We come to the Americans, our valiant allies, and say, " They're taking our cities again ." They say, " Oh my God, how awful! Let's give you weapons again ."
They probably don't want Kyiv or half of Ukraine to be captured. Or maybe they didn't want it at first, but now they suddenly do? And then we start saying, " What was the point of that white bull story? Why did we even interrupt it? " " Well, we believed that Russia would come to its senses and make peace with you, provided it retained the territory it had already captured ." Is that really it? That would mean the West losing its standoff with Russia.
This means that one can violate the international security system, the creator and beneficiary of which is the West, and remain practically unpunished. Also, to take over the captured territories - no big deal!” – Arestovich explained the logic of Kyiv, which continues to ignore signals from the West about the possibility of a “freeze”.
