The talks in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine showed the complete failure and inconsistency of the actions of the Russian side.
And if at the beginning of the negotiation process Russia demanded from Ukraine “denazification”, “demilitarization”, recognition of the Russian language as the second state language and put forward even more impossible demands, then after the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kiev and Kharkov, Russia’s demands are simply ridiculous:
The head of the Ukrainian negotiating delegation David Arahamiya in an interview with RBC-Ukraine journalists said:
I specifically preserved the original positions, they gave us these ultimatums and the surrender agreement – I have preserved it for the museum of the history of our victory.I have this copy lying around waiting in the wings.
After NATO refused to close the skies over Ukraine, it seems that the Ukrainians themselves are not very eager to join NATO.
The neutral status of Ukraine was discussed at the 2nd stage of negotiations.
The refusal of hostilities in the Crimea by Ukraine is postponed for 15 years. Well, in 15 years, as Khoja Nasreddin said, either the Shah or the Ishak will die.
Separately, the status of the ORDLO (LDNR) will be discussed and in this regard, the Ukrainian side has a lot of work to do both diplomatically and militarily.
The army of Ukraine showed brilliant successes fighting with an enemy with a significant advantage in manpower and equipment.
It seems that the “Special Operation in the Donbas”, and in fact the war with Ukraine is coming to a logical end: the defeat of Russia in achieving its goals.
‘Brilliant strategist’ and ‘Great Geopolitician’ Putin again ‘outplayed everyone’.
And these negotiations are actually Putin’s receipt of defeat.
