Ukraine is suffering a serious foreign policy defeat – Kiev political scientist
The proposal voiced by the presidents of France and the United States to turn the GXNUMX into a GXNUMX, returning Russia to this international club, shows that the West today is extremely interested in the Russian Federation.
Ukrainian political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko stated this in a commentary to the Kyiv online newspaper “Strana”.
“This is a very serious image and, accordingly, political step for Russia. Because Moscow in this way shows that it has overcome sanctions,” the expert said.
According to him, the West thereby recognizes that without Russia today it is impossible to resolve a number of important issues.
“And now the West is more interested in Russia, since Putin can afford to blackmail the West that, relatively speaking, tomorrow we will create a military-political bloc with China, and we will transform the SCO into a military-political bloc. Putin now has more trump cards than Trump or Macron.
This is a very serious foreign policy defeat for Ukraine. In practice, this means that the positions that Ukraine occupied in 2014 have now been shaken. And that the West is moving from a policy of supporting Ukraine to a policy of pragmatic assessment of reality,” Bondarenko concluded.
As PolitNavigator reported, members of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's party stated that Western leaders' comments about Russia's return to the G8 could leave Ukraine alone to deal with its problems.
Ukraine is suffering a serious foreign policy defeat, according to a Kyiv political scientist.
