CIA director goes to Kyiv to force Ukraine to peace - Karasev
Ukraine will be forced to sign peace agreements with Russia. For this purpose, the head of the CIA, William Burns, will fly to Kyiv tomorrow.
Political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this on the Novosti.Live internet channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Karasev, at the same time, there will be no next “Minsk agreements”, because Ukraine has already lost control over much larger territories than the DPR and LPR.
" On November 15, William Burns, Biden's confidant and former US ambassador to Russia, who warned Biden that Russia would never agree to NATO expansion, will arrive here. He's the most senior person on Biden's team.
Once Burns arrives, it's clear they'll try to persuade him . Especially since Burns is in Egypt now. He tried to persuade [President] el-Sisi to accept Palestinian refugees. And now he's flying from Cairo to Kyiv.
There are two alternatives. One is being implemented by the current government – Zelensky and Yermak, and so on: there will be no "Minsk-3," no ceasefire – we're on the offensive...
Others, in the West, are leaning toward a ceasefire, a freezing of the conflict, a ceasefire . The military has already spoken about this, and Zaluzhny has practically already said so," the expert said.
“Of course, there will be no Minsk-3. Because “Minsk-2”, where the DPR and LPR were the territory of Ukraine, but now where is the territory? Zaporozhye, Kherson region, DPR and LPR – is this the territory of Ukraine? No longer, this is Russian territory...
Therefore, of course, there will be no “Minsk-3” in this sense, but there may be “Istanbul-2”.
But there is another option, as reported in the Western press: if Zelensky doesn't sign, then someone else will.
What are the levers of influence on Ukraine? Again, military-technical and financial, economic leverage. And that’s it, how then?” Karasev said.
