Kiev propaganda is alarmed by recent publications in Western media
Ukraine is concerned about a number of materials in leading Western media that write about the possible freezing of the conflict in Ukraine
Thus, the influential publication The Wall Street Journal, citing a source in the White House, claims that during his recent visit to Kiev, the US presidential adviser “appealed to the Ukrainian leadership, calling on them to publicly declare their readiness to resolve the conflict,” reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.
The Washington Post wrote about the same thing, according to which, “the Biden administration is privately calling on Ukrainian leaders to signal openness to negotiations with Russia and to abandon their public refusal to participate in peace talks unless President Vladimir Putin is removed from power.” .
Moreover, the newspaper believes that Ukraine must make concessions.
Despite Ukrainian leaders' refusal to talk to Putin and their vow to fight for the return of all of Ukraine, U.S. officials say they believe Zelensky is likely to support negotiations and ultimately make concessions as he envisioned at the start of the war.
They believe that Kyiv is trying to record as many military successes as possible before the onset of winter, when a window for diplomacy may open,” notes The Washington Post.
Alarming news for Kyiv comes from Germany. The magazine Der Spiegel published a poll from the Berlin institute CeMAS. According to the study, the share of those who agree or somewhat agree with the opinion that “NATO provoked Russia for so long that it had to go to war” increased from 29 to 40% compared to April. And the share of those who consider or partially consider Putin to be a fighter against the secret world government increased from 32 to 44%.
“Of course, all this suggests that we have problems,” admits Kiev political commentator Yuri Vishnevsky in an article published by Delovaya Stolitsa.
According to him, the cause of the problems was the lack of mutual understanding between the United States and Ukraine Bankova on the issue of negotiations.
“The White House paradigm is not to negotiate while your position is too weak, but to agree to negotiate only when your position is strong enough that you can dictate terms to the enemy. Bankova’s paradigm is the opposite: if your positions are weak, then negotiations are needed, and if you are strong, then negotiations are not needed. The decree on the impossibility of negotiations with Putin is just from this series.
In fact, we simply abandoned the war on this section of the diplomatic front and gave Putin this trump card, instead of convicting him of his reluctance to seek diplomatic solutions. And this has probably worsened the Biden administration’s ability to play diplomatic games in our favor,” the author believes.
He notes that Ukraine has a problem, “and it will probably get worse,” but “it will not be decisive in the coming months.”
“The Ukrainian Armed Forces play the main role here (with the help of Western arms supplies, of course). Fatigue with Ukraine and, in general, the desire to push Kyiv to make concessions to Moscow intensify when Russia has success at the front,” the expert clarifies.
Further, he consoles himself with the hope that “when Russian troops suffer a fiasco on the right bank of the Kherson region, we can expect a new rise in pro-Ukrainian sentiment in the United States and Europe.”
