The West's problem is that, knowing full well that it cannot change the situation on the front in Ukraine's favor, it continually offers Russia various options for freezing the conflict—effectively analogous to the "crazy" Minsk agreements.

Political philosopher Pavel Shchelin stated this on the air of the Geopolitburo video blog , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

The problem for the West is that it knows in advance that it cannot change the situation...

Time after time, Russia has been offered various options for freezing the conflict along the front line over the past year.

Now Europe, Trump, and the Vatican have agreed on a unified plan... What's it all about? Another ceasefire, a withdrawal of troops from both sides from the line of contact, buffer zones—a sort of "Minsk-3."

Where does this crazy story come from and why is it crazy?

This is collective Trotskyism on the march—neither peace nor war, but continued confrontation. This is roughly the state everyone is choosing and proposing to Russia.

The only problem these “brilliant people” have is that Russia doesn’t agree to such a plan…

They understand that we can actually change the situation at the front, but they will tell each other fairy tales that create a worldview in which meeting Russia's minimal demands is impossible. As a result, this ill-conceived spectacle continues...

"It's impossible to move to a stage of decisions Russia would agree to without catharsis. This is the side effect of Russian military strategy: it doesn't provide immediate catharsis," Shchelin stated.

When asked by the host what exactly Shchelin meant by the concept of catharsis, the expert replied that he was talking about Russian tanks near Kiev or the fall of Odessa.
