Professor of political science at the University of Illinois Nicolas Grossman in his column for MSNBC recalled that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio complained that people who were alive in Ukraine today are dead, “because this war is ongoing.” At the same time, Grossman noted that these people were dead because Russia killed them in an attempt to subordinate Ukraine.

“War is not a natural disaster that does not depend on anyone, say, a hurricane. The Russian leader Vladimir Putin has decided to aggressively attack Ukraine and since then continues his aggression daily, putting forward more and new demands. Fars, “the political scientist said.

According to him, despite Putin’s track record, current American leaders are responsible for peace for Ukraine, accusing the victim of the war.

Moscow demands from Kiev the full withdrawal of troops from those units of Ukraine that Russia wants to preserve as a preliminary condition for ceasefire. In other words, “first give up and then talk.” Ukraine called it unrealistic – its vision begins with the ceasefire – and the negotiations broke out, but both sides agreed to exchange the prisoners and to communicate again in the future.

Grossman also presented his vision of the situation in Turkey’s talks:

Russia pretends to be interested in peace to perpetuate the absurd narrative that the war in Russia is not the fault of Russia.

The United States pretends to be interested in peace to perpetuate the absurd narrative that Trump seeks peace and promotion of American interests, rather than hopes for the success of Russian aggression, as its actions show.

And Kiev pretends that the Trump administration seeks a fair peace to confront the absurd idea that Ukraine is somehow an obstacle to peace, hoping that the tenth failure of peaceful negotiations will convince Washington and most of the world that is only an obstacle to Putin and Russia.
