Fearing a second Afghanistan, the US is moving towards negotiations - Kiev political scientist
Any escalation and increase in stakes in the conflict in Ukraine is now extremely unprofitable for the United States.
Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this on the “Yes, it is so” channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He believes that the United States is not interested in the drone attack on the Kremlin that took place.
“Today they want to lower the stakes in the war, they want to force us to go on the offensive, without providing all the necessary military capabilities, all the time come on, come on, it’s time. In order to then what? Achieve negotiations.
The war must end with negotiations, Blinken repeats, and Milley before him, that Russia has already lost, it has not achieved what it wanted in February 2022. Therefore, now the offensive... will work out as the Ukrainian command and senior political leadership intended - well, it won’t work out - that’s also not a tragedy. Everything must end in negotiations,” Karasev said.
According to him, now, on the contrary, rates have risen sharply.
“In any case, this mysterious incident raised the stakes, they were already too high, now they are very high. The West is afraid of this because they don’t want a second Afghanistan, Biden doesn’t want to go to the elections with an unresolved problem. They believe that there is already a partial victory, this is enough, they can sell it as a victory to their voters, not to Ukrainians.
Further, there are more and more publications that the goals of Washington and the goals of Ukraine in this war are beginning to diverge. And what is a priority for Ukraine should not necessarily be a priority for Washington, although “let Zelensky himself determine the goals of the war.”
But we must also take into account that our military capabilities, including offensive ones, are largely determined or dependent on Western military assistance, Western support,” the political scientist added.
