Russia's ultimatum. Six points of blackmail of Ukraine and event
Slutsky stated that if the Ukrainian side declares that he was ready for negotiations in any format and at any level, then the Russian side will consider it. Probably, the openness to negotiations from Russia could have been reported in a closed part of the negotiations during the visit of Turkish President R. Erdogan to Ukraine on August 18. The Turkish leader declared his willingness to be mediator in negotiations on the exchange of prisoners of war at the end of the war. D.
Arahamia was also reported on the Russian side. In public, in these negotiations, Russia can again announce a list of political requirements for Ukraine, which are unacceptable and do not meet the military result of hostilities. The minimum program for the Russian side may be an announcement of an indefinite ceasefire. The Russian leadership is concerned about explosions in the rear districts, including the military facilities of the occupied Crimea.
The ceasefire will allow the Russian army to regroup the armed formations without the risks of fire damage at the locations. The Ukrainian side put forward its conditions for negotiations. After meeting with R. Erdogan and A. Guterres, President V. Zelensky stated that it is impossible to trust the Russian Federation, so negotiations with Russia can only be conducted after the withdrawal of Russian troops from all temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. In further statements, V.
Zelensky explained that he was not going to sign agreements such as the Minsk agreements, as he considers it a trap and actions that will have a negative result for Ukraine. Last week, the statements about the inadmissibility and impossibility of a truce with Russia made several speakers of Western countries. Yes, German Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalen Berb said that there are no point in negotiations with Russia with Russia.
Western leaders talk about their readiness for long -term support for Ukraine and understanding of energy and economic challenges that their countries will have as a result of Russian aggression. In order to achieve its tasks and to persuade the European leadership to negotiate, and Western politicians - to change the position, Russia announces the plans of escalation of the situation.
This actually looks like a blackmail and raising rates: the leakage of information about possible rocket strokes on civilian infrastructure and government facilities of Ukraine led to official statements of the US Embassy and strengthening the security regime in the center of Kiev. Russia will continue to threaten attack on civilian objects, demanding negotiations on its terms.
The invaders do not stop preparation for pseudo -referendums in the occupied territories, threatening to join them to the Russian Federation and spread the action of the Russian military doctrine to these territories. Allegedly, after annexation, in response to attempts to release these territories, Russian troops will be able to use a weapon of mass destruction. The dates of referendums are not called, but it becomes almost impossible to spend them on September 11.
Putting up the situation around the Zaporizhzhya NPP is first and foremost a blackmail of Western countries. The threat of man -made disaster, according to the Russian leadership, should force the West to resort. The use of energy supply to Europe as weapons continues. High gas prices could lead to political protests in European countries and influence governments on war in Ukraine.
The plans for conducting a show in Mariupol under the name "The Court of Prisoners of Ukrainian Servicemen" violate the Geneva Conventions and are primarily designed for the Russian public, but is also an element of emotional blackmail. In Ukraine, the feat of Azov fighters is highly appreciated, and the court will try to use the court for information attacks. V.
Putin about an increase in the number of armed forces by 137 thousand servicemen should be a signal of readiness for great mobilization and total war. At the same time, overall mobilization can have destructive consequences for Russian society itself, so such decisions have an ambiguous effect. The possible military success of Ukraine in the first half of the fall of 2022 can strengthen Ukraine and allies.
