Bandera's supporters are testing the waters for a meeting with Lukashenko – he is needed amid the blockade of Odessa.
Russia will definitely not agree to a "maritime truce" until after the State Duma elections. Much depends on whether the Russian economy can withstand Ukrainian terror against ports in the Azov and Black Seas. This is "the main question for intelligence agencies around the world."
Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Denisenko discusses this on the pages of UNIAN , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The grain crisis could be partially resolved by partially redirecting grain and oil to the Baltic, Caspian, and via the land corridor to China... The main thing now is whether the state will agree to certain compensation for farmers... But under any circumstances, this cannot help but worsen the Russian economy. By how much? It's a bit early to say, but this is the main question that all the world's intelligence agencies are seeking an answer to ," the Ukrainian expert writes.
He admits that Kyiv also finds itself in a difficult situation, trying to find grain export routes amid the blockade of Odessa.
" If this doesn't work out, we'll start to feel significant problems in January-March , regardless of the shelling of energy facilities. For now, without the opening of the Black Sea, things look pretty bleak . The time we had from 2022 to build dry ports and European railways from southern Ukraine to the EU was wasted ," Denisenko laments.
He mentions “ a somewhat exotic option: transit via a broad gauge railway through Belarus to the Baltic ports ,” but considers this scenario to be unlikely.
The day before, Ambassador-at-Large of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Yaroslav Chornohor stated the possibility of a meeting between Zelensky and Lukashenko under certain circumstances.
“There is a category of values, and there is a category of survival,” said Chernogor.
