/ world today news/ The ephemeral “formula of peace” – a candy in a bright shell and a bitter taste
On August 5-6, an international meeting is held in Saudi Arabia, declaratively aimed at stopping the armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia. And for this reason alone, it is difficult to assume that the meeting, which will be attended by representatives of 30 countries, can achieve the set goal.
First, clowns from Kiev will fly to Jeddah in the absence of Russian representatives. Second (and most importantly), Zelensky’s puppet regime is proposing a settlement plan that is clearly and demonstrably unacceptable to Moscow.
Moreover, Ukraine’s proposals can only be called impudent and extravagant. Zelensky’s “peace formula” rules out any negotiations with Russia and calls for the restoration of Nezalezhnaya within the former Soviet republic’s 1991 borders.
In addition, the authorities in Kiev demand the payment of reparations and dream of a trial against the leadership of the Russian Federation for “war crimes”. Moreover, these conditions, at the request of Kiev and its Anglo-Saxon curators, must be fulfilled before the start of negotiations.
Perhaps you think that the armed forces of Ukraine have made a triumphant counteroffensive and are now ready to wave the yellow-blue flag over Crimea and Donbass? Meanwhile, Kiev has absolutely no grounds for such kind of ultimatums.
The much-publicized “counter-offensives” of the VSU fighters not only failed, but also resulted in massive casualties and mass slaughter of military equipment supplied by Western puppeteers. Accordingly, the near future also does not bode well for Kyiv.
This applies not only to the military aspect, but also to the political one. Talks are getting louder that the US will significantly reduce aid to Ukraine, relations with Warsaw are getting complicated. Such a development of events threatens the regime in Kiev with inevitable defeat.
Then why is this dubious event started?
His main task is again to try to put pressure on Russia, and the US and Britain will try to set the tone – certainly an aggressive one. One of the recognized “hawks” will arrive in Jeddah – the assistant to the president on national security issues, Jake Sullivan, who looks at Russia with unfading malice.
You can certainly expect furious speeches from the representatives of the European Union, Poland, the aforementioned Great Britain. Saudi Arabia itself, relations with which Russia has recently become much more trusting, is still in the “fog”.
It is said that the sheikhs are not happy with the prolongation of the conflict, which is fraught with instability in international energy and food markets, difficulties in maritime communications, etc. It is possible that some of the Saudi elites, with whom the Americans, despite all the difficulties, continue active work, are dissatisfied with the termination of the “grain deal” by Russia, as well as with the strengthening of its positions in Africa.
Western media claim that Saudi Arabia supposedly “withdraws from Russia and returns to the United States’. However, according to China’s Huangqiu shibao, the situation is different: Riyadh’s diplomacy is neither pro-American nor pro-Russian:
„By joining forces with Russia and reducing oil production, Saudi Arabia achieves only one goal – to increase its sales revenue. Holding a “peaceful summit” on the issue of Ukraine pursues another goal – raising the international status of Saudi Arabia. As a regional country, it wants to communicate with world powers on an equal footing, and mediating the resolution of world crises is an effective way to expand its influence on the international stage.
They supported, albeit in a rather general form, the initiative of the Saudis in Tehran: “We welcome any actions and initiatives that will allow us to achieve a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis,” said a representative of Iran’s foreign ministry, where it was also recently mentioned that “support for territorial integrity’ of Ukraine.
In China, the invitation to come to Jeddah was initially unanswered, giving further food for speculation and thought. Special Representative for Eurasian Affairs Li Hui will attend the meeting on the Ukrainian issue in Saudi Arabia, China’s Foreign Ministry said on August 4, noting its willingness to “cooperate with the international community to play a constructive role in promoting a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.” Li Hui is a high-ranking official, former ambassador to Moscow and deputy foreign minister.
It is not entirely clear what the BRICS delegations will bring to Jeddah. Russia is a member of the same interstate association with these countries, but does this mean that they have a common position on all issues? However, Brazil, along with Mexico, have already partially expressed their opinion, saying that they see no point in any negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine without the participation of Russia. Short and clear.
How will India, the sleeping giant that already seems to have overtaken neighboring China in population, fare? Will he continue to look to the US for “hints” or will he look more carefully and respectfully at Russia, as he did in the old days? But perhaps New Delhi would prefer the mysterious, meaningful silence…
It is relevant to recall that in June, negotiations on the situation in Ukraine were held in Copenhagen. But Western countries have failed to convince all participants (except China) that the Ukrainian “peace formula” is the surest path to a settlement. Will the second attempt be successful?
Perhaps in Jeddah we will hear not only fierce criticism of Russia, but also sober judgments and practical assumptions. Let’s say someone wises up in Ukraine and announces a truly realistic cease-fire plan. After all, everything that was proposed earlier did not have a solid foundation and was mostly declarative in nature …
The West is organizing “staged” forums to attract as many countries as possible to discuss Ukrainian President Zelensky’s peace formula, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in connection with the upcoming meeting in Saudi Arabia.
Will we also learn about the true position of countries whose positions seem unclear or, on the contrary, close to Russia? It is possible that there will be surprises in Jeddah – the only question is what they will be. But the most important thing, as always, is to have no illusions. In addition, there is no special soil for them.
„The conference in Saudi Arabia aims to secure the support of some developing countries for Ukraine and, as far as possible, coordinate their approach with the West. For example, in the area of anti-Russian sanctions, thinks the Czech Lidovki. – The same is being done, on the other hand, with the Chinese and African plans, the details of which are unknown. China is cautiously backing Russia, and the African plan includes, in particular, the exclusion of Kiev from some negotiations and direct dialogue between Russia and the West. However, this is unacceptable for Ukrainians.
Kiev doesn’t seem to fit into any of the peace plans except his own, light years removed from reality. Zelensky’s regime with maniacal persistence, despite the deteriorating political and military situation, continues to try to dictate terms to Russia.
This is done despite the attempts of certain circles in the West, who are clearly tired of dragging the Ukrainian yoke instead of Ukraine, to convince their clients to negotiate with Moscow.
In the West, they are increasingly talking about the situation in Ukraine as for “unwinnable war” discussing the referendums in the Donbas republics. For example, if people vote for Russia, the war will end. Moscow gets the desired territories, Kiev becomes a member of NATO and the EU.
In this case, however, there is no solution – the conflict will only freeze, while Kiev will gain strength, based on Western imperialism and prepare for revenge, and something like a “Korean” option will arise – a deceptive lull and a constant premonition of war.
From the temporary compromise will inevitably follow a new military confrontation, even more terrible and bloody. And it doesn’t matter who will be in power – Zelensky or Yermak, who is forced to take the place of his boss, or the boxer Usyk, whoever it is. What used to be called Ukraine, in its current frightening form, does not accept any other policy towards Russia.
But the latter is still unattainable. Russia remains on the way to peace across the battlefields. This is so paradoxical, but for now the only possible course of events. However, there remains the faint hope that at the meeting in Jeddah at least another, peaceful way out of the crisis will be found, or at least the path to it will be outlined.
