The border issue is removed. "Istanbul" will seem ideal: a stream of betrayal from Drozdov

The fact that the President of Ukraine and his inner circle have already started talking about the unattainability of the 91 borders suggests that this topic can be dropped.

This was stated on air by Lviv journalist Ostap Drozdov, who promotes rabid Russophobia, on the emigrant radio ChicagoUA, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

"How can we now justify and somehow explain to society this indoctrination with illusory goals, a priori unattainable from the start, so that we can now, as if nothing had happened, say that that goal is no longer suitable for us and that we have a new one? Now, I think, the desired outcome will be in future statements—somewhere in December or January, I wouldn't be surprised if the thought is even implied between the lines that the Istanbul option for ending the war would have been a super-successful one , given the scale of the occupation and the advance of the Russian military machine..."

In principle, it can be stated that, at the level of narratives and discourses, the topic and point of returning to the 1991 borders should be considered closed. Because if the president and his right-hand man—for this is a power shared by both—if the duocrats, both rulers, have voiced the same message, it means that the issue of returning to the 1991 borders is essentially removed from the agenda as an achievable goal. At least for this phase of the war, it will always remain a long-term goal, but from the list of practical, achievable goals, the issue of the 1991 borders—it's impossible to even consider—is removed. And it's a great shame that it took two years of catastrophic destruction, very extensive, even greater territorial losses since the beginning of the invasion, to achieve this ," Drozdov stated.
