“It couldn’t have happened any other way”: Kyiv turned out to be an ordinary “six” – a scientist from Crimea
The admission by the head of the negotiating team from Ukraine, David Arakhamia, that the peace agreement with Russia signed in March 2022 in Istanbul was canceled by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, proves the lack of subjectivity of Kyiv and the falsity of the myth of an “independent” power.
This was stated by Andrey Stavitsky, associate professor of the Department of History and International Relations at the Black Sea branch of Moscow State University, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“No matter what they sign... if a curator comes and says: “That’s it, we’re closing this, we’ll just fight,” and it’s clear that it’s not Great Britain that’s going to fight, they go for it. This is subjectivity, no matter what they say.
They wanted to shift the focus to Boris Johnson, but they showed their place in this whole situation, that they have no right to make a decision,” Stavitsky concluded.
Aleksey Tikhonov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, economist, associate professor at Northern State University, added that in this story the British prime minister could have been playing out not the political interests of his country, but the business interests of one of the groups.
“The motives could have been anything, including the interests of the same gas pipeline, which initially passed through and was done against a very specific group of interests. That is, don’t think that these gigantic giants just came together. This is the logic of the Cold War - small conflicts always lead to some major consequences. This is the effect of a dynamic system that can act not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top, and this is very important,” the scientist believes.
In his opinion, for Russia it is not even this that is fundamentally important, but the fact that one cannot simply rely on peace agreements.
“As they said in famous works: it is best to have a peaceful word and a gun. When we achieved real parity in Soviet times, then, in principle, we could talk about a security system in Europe and in the world. And until this moment, no matter how hard we tried, no one had such a conversation with us on equal terms.
...And as tragic as it may be, the situation has fixed one thing: no one will negotiate with us until we clearly say that we can, say, occupy all of Europe within 10 days. This may sound rude, but then it will work. It won’t work any other way,” Tikhonov concluded.
