The Ukrainians suddenly realized: We have outwitted ourselves!
Ukraine has finally lost its subjectivity, now its fate is decided by Russia and the United States in negotiations with each other, and Kiev is only required to follow the instructions of the West.
Ukrainian diplomat Bohdan Yaremenko stated this on the ZIK TV channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

According to him, now all that remains for the Ukrainian authorities is to quietly wait on the sidelines for the results of negotiations between US Special Representative Kurt Volker and Russian Presidential Aide Vladislav Surkov.
“The Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada gave him such a half-argument and removed itself and the Ukrainian state from the negotiations, losing its subjectivity. How does this happen?
Kurt Volker has a very good position tomorrow in negotiations with Surkov - he has a Congressional decision on sanctions against Russia, he has a strong military machine behind him, and now he comes to negotiations with the Russians and says: “You see, we control the situation in Ukraine, the Ukrainians accept those laws that we need, you must talk to us if you want to achieve something, only we can solve it for you.”
Of course, for Putin and for everyone else, there is no longer any point in talking with Ukraine - it makes sense to talk with Kurt Volker and American diplomacy.
This is how subjectivity is lost, this is how we made a gift for Kurt Volker, and now, indeed, the task of Ukrainian diplomacy is to stand under his office and wait for him to tell us about the results of his meeting with Surkov,” Yaremenko said.
