According to the expert, Putin believes that time is playing in his favor, and he is right.
According to Robert Kagan, on the eve of Trump’s inauguration, Ukraine is in a losing position regarding negotiations with the Russian Federation / UNIAN collage, screenshotsUkraine is obviously in a losing position on the eve of the likely “peaceful” negotiations with the Russian Federation. American political analyst Robert Kagan expressed this opinion in an interview with CNN.According to him, Russian ruler Vladimir Putin believes that time is on his side, and he is right, because “if nothing is done in the next few weeks, the US aid could end, and it will take time to get new one,” so by the end of the year, Ukraine may experience a fiasco.
“Either from the actual inability to fight, or from the drop in morale, if they do not receive any support from the USA,” the expert explained.
He predicts that Putin believes he can hold out long enough to win the war:
“And we must clearly understand that victory does not mean a settlement through negotiations, when Ukraine retains part of its sovereignty, etc. Victory for Putin is the complete elimination of Ukraine as an independent entity on the world stage.”
According to Kagan, US President-elect Donald Trump will try to start negotiations with Putin as soon as possible after his inauguration on January 20. At the same time, he and his team can quickly realize that there is very little chance of any serious discussions.
“Putin will, of course, talk forever if he needs to, but not to actually start a settlement. Under the current circumstances, Putin has no incentive to negotiate. He thinks he will win the war unless something changes dramatically – like for example, there will be no new draft law on aid to Ukraine,” the expert summarized.
“Peaceful” negotiations with the Russian Federation – the latest newsEarlier it was reported that the spokesman of the Russian ruler Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, replied that the Kremlin was thinking about peace talks. According to him, Putin enjoys the huge support of the population, and Russia’s successes at the front allegedly also affect this, so “there can be no fundamental changes.”
UNIAN also wrote about the bookmakers’ forecast on whether Trump will end the war in Ukraine in 90 days. The stakes for the president-elect of the United States to keep his promises are getting lower and lower.
