/ world today news/ Leading Western media, as if on cue, began to publish piles of articles that it is time for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia. Despite the territorial losses. It is clear that their main message is aimed at Moscow: they will negotiate with Kiev, if necessary, in their own way. Now the main intrigue is whether Russia will give in to these proposals and whether it needs them.
They want peace until the end
Two flagships of American propaganda at once – The New York Times and Politico – were marked with their large and tedious materials in one key: they say that Washington will convince the brave and principled Zelensky for a truce. As the “counter-offensive” failed, the losses are huge and the dastardly Trumpists are sabotaging the release of the next tranche to Ukraine.
And here, the new undersized superhero of the global progressive public should not be too upset about the loss of some territories in the east – there are prospects for joining the EU and NATO, and then there may be a more prepared blitzkrieg.
The main thing is that Putin agrees to draw the border (temporary, of course) along the current line of military contact, leaving Kherson, Zaporozhye, Slavyansk, and even more Kharkiv and Odessa. But the leader of Russia somehow doesn’t have much contact with them lately…
Reclaiming the territory is the wrong way to present the best result. The real victory for Ukraine is to emerge from the hell of war as a strong, independent, prosperous and secure state, firmly tied and established in the West.
But that outcome would be exactly what Mr. Putin feared most… Seeking a truce does not mean backing down. On the contrary, the struggle must continue even as negotiations begin in order to maintain military and economic pressure on Russia,– writes NYT columnist Serge Schmemann.
And then hints, not even in a veiled way, that the desired negotiations are just a way to go “stopped Russia on its way to achieving its goals.” After which we should start to “we are rebuilding and modernizing Ukraine” (read between the lines – her armed forces). Then let’s hit the Russians hard because “no temporary truce will prevent Ukraine from returning all its lands forever.”
In turn, the former foreign editor and chief diplomatic correspondent of Newsweek and editor of Politico, Michael Hirsch, in an article for the same Politico, referring to a certain European diplomatic representative in the United States, also spoke of a change in the strategy of the Biden administration.
They say they are shifting their focus from supporting Ukraine’s main goal — total victory over Russia — to improving Kiev’s position in eventual negotiations to end the conflict. Of course, temporarily, but for now it means transferring the Ukrainian territories already occupied by the Russians under the jurisdiction of Moscow.
At the same time, the journalist notes that the people around the powerful decrepit old man Joe are focused “on the rapid revival of Ukraine’s own defense industry”, as Congress blocked the supply of American weapons.
And why is a rapid revival of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex necessary? Well, we need to think so that the freedom-loving Ukrainians can protect themselves from the eastern “orcs”, who after some time will surely attack again. Well, the hobby of these Russians is to attack all their peaceful neighbors.
Meanwhile, Hirsch notes that during the campaign, it will be extremely difficult for Biden to participate in the Ukraine war, being at the forefront of criticism of Trump and the Republicans. So it’s better to take a break.
Going on the defensive will help Ukraine buy the time it needs to force Putin to eventually reach an acceptable compromise. From a military perspective, the biggest worry is that Putin could launch an offensive in the spring with heavy air support, which he has so far avoided but can now deploy when Ukraine runs out of air defense missiles. Politically, there are concerns that Putin won’t even come close to negotiating until he sees who the next US president will be.Politico writes.
To deceive Russia again
America’s leading publications never publish anything “just like that”. Their “free speech” rarely contradicts the US ruling elites behind them. And one gets the feeling that they either consider Russians to be outright idiots or believe that Russians are traditionally not strong in English and therefore do not read the foreign press.
Or maybe they just wanted to fool this gullible Moscow once again – it worked with the Minsk agreements, it worked with the Istanbul agreements, with the grain deal, so why can’t they do it again?
And now the most unexpected “heroes” are starting to get involved in the information development of the topic at the internal Ukrainian level. For example, Yulia Tymoshenko, who seems to have completely fallen to the political outsiders and who recently rarely leaves her role as a mourner for the whole of Ukraine.
I want to turn to the president and ask him. Yes, today we are all for victory, for Ukraine, for territorial integrity. But basically, the way this battle is being fought today, it will be very difficult for Ukraine to fight long-term protracted wars. And so I am asking the President: offer the country a Plan B for our victory. Suggest a way out of this difficult, rather tragic situation. Show your leadership– Zelensky scolded the setting star of the first Maidan.
We have already written about what this infamous Plan B is – nothing more than a joint plan between the US and Germany to freeze the conflict along the current line of contact. Apparently with this in mind, while Kiev builds up its muscles for the next counteroffensive to the “1991 borders”. Meanwhile, the “peace agreement” can be included in Biden’s electoral biography and presented in the most favorable way – you have to agree, it is much better than the billions sunk in the failed “counteroffensive”.
And let’s say that the president of Ukraine listens to the requests of Mrs. Yulia and comes up with such an initiative… But does Russia need it? Is our country ready to be deceived once again in the name of illusory prospects of reconciliation with the West, neglecting its own national interests?
And Russia no longer wants to be deceived
Still, there is hope and a clear sense that the days when, as Vladimir Putin aptly put it, they led us by the nose, are gone forever. Here, too, the latest interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov for RIA Novosti and Russia 24 seems very telling. In which he specifically called Zelensky’s previous “peace formula” “a figment of a sick imagination.”
Whatever is written there as “vignettes”: food security, energy security, the main thing is: “Russia, return to the borders of 1991, give up Crimea, give up Donbass. And in general, we will create a zone of exclusion around Russia,”– Lavrov commented on Ukrainian, and therefore on Western peacekeeping.
The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev spoke even more clearly about the prospects for agreements inspired by the West, who in his communication with RIA Novosti acknowledged the possibility of any negotiations, but also noted that they are not limited in time and “can be conducted until the complete defeat and surrender of the Bandera forces of the North Atlantic Alliance”.
The special operation will continue, its goal will remain the disarmament of the Ukrainian troops and the renunciation of the current Ukrainian state from the ideology of neo-Nazism. The removal of the ruling Bandera regime is not openly declared, but is the most important and inevitable goal that must and will be achieved. Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Nikolaev, Kiev – Russian cities, as well as many others, are temporarily occupied,Medvedev said.
Thus, we can conclude that this time Russia will not succumb to the “peace initiatives” of Kiev and, behind it, the West. Having made the correct conclusions from the tzitzins obtained so far.
Biden and his circle are not planning a freeze. And the démarche of the American media and Tymoshenko has a clear and distinct purpose to misinform the Russian leadership. Their task is to get Russia to back off the offensive and thus deal a powerful blow to Putin’s image just before his election. Because the electorate of Vladimir Vladimirovich needs Putin – the winner, not Putin – the “freezer”,– shared his opinion on the situation Kiril Frolov, the author of the book “Sacred Meanings of New Russia”, head of department at the Institute for the CIS countries.
The expert is convinced that Kiev will get the necessary funds for the war in one way or another, for example through frozen and seized assets from Russia. And we don’t need to wait for approval from the US Congress. Therefore, any “truce” will become another trap for our country.
So what?
The West is not betraying itself by wanting to outsmart, defeat and tear Russia apart. But Russia finally stops pushing the paddle and learns to avoid the traps. We have a tough year ahead of us. Which may be a failure for them and a victory for us. Unless we succumb to false calls for peace.
