"Moscow never recognizes capitulation." Why Ukraine should not live illusions about the rapid defeat of Russia - interview Fesenko

Ukrainians should not live illusions about the rapid defeat of Russia against the background of a successful counter -offensive of the Armed Forces in Kharkiv, because Moscow has a lot of resources, said Vladimir Fesenko, a political scientist, said Radio NV. -We saw the Sumith Summit last week and saw Putin's statements he made at his press conference. They were two -vector, so it is possible. On the one hand, he threatened Ukraine, threatened to beat critical infrastructure.

On the other hand, it may look like he cursed negotiations. Do you think that Putin is trying to send to the world now? Video of the day is in fact both. It frightens the event and the international community. And we are also inertia, because I think, he was partly realized that he could not intimidate. However, the intimidation continues.

And the main strategic line of such intimidation is the threats to destroy the critical infrastructure of Ukraine, energy infrastructure in winter or on the eve of winter. And to create big problems for the Ukrainian population during the winter. But at the same time - he really sends signals about peace, but about peace on his own conditions. And intimidation is a tool, it is Putin's favorite strategy and just a traditional course of thought.

That "Kyiv is independent" that Kyiv "must force to negotiations" and to Russian conditions, to force through Washington, through Brussels, through Berlin and Paris. In addition, at this summit he received signals that the war creates serious economic problems. And that from this war it would be worthwhile to get out so that these problems are no longer more serious because both China and India, and these were key participants as a result of war.
