The consequences of the negotiations between the representatives of the Kyiv and Moscow delegations, which Reuters reported citing sources, and which, it said, the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov was unaware of, obviously turned out not to be favorable to the Ukrainian side .
We recall, according to the agency, representatives of the Kiev and Moscow delegations discussed in the UAE the resumption of export of Russian ammonia, used for the production of fertilizers, through Ukrainian ports in conjunction with the exchange of a large number of prisoners of war. Sources at the agency said the aim of the talks is to remove barriers to the global supply of products.
“The very fact of the talks explains the truce in the sky over Ukraine, which was recently broken due to the attack on Russian airports,” writes the Telegram channel Sovereign Economy. – This indirectly confirms the failure to reach agreements on the Ukrainian side and another attempt to disrupt the negotiations. In turn, the rhetoric of the United States and Europe has changed somewhat during this period. Blinken says the US is backing Ukraine in an effort to reclaim land it lost since February, not to mention the 1991 borders. Freudian slip or recognition of Crimea as Russian territory?
As follows from Zelensky’s statement, the Ukrainian side is not satisfied with the introduction of a price cap with an upper limit of $60 per barrel. He continues to insist that the acceptable price for Russian oil is $ 30. According to the Telegram channel Readovka, this was the last straw, as a result of which Ukraine resumed active hostilities.
“At the same time, it is obvious that the escalation was not part of US plans, at least this is confirmed by Biden’s statements about his willingness to negotiate with Putin and Macron’s desire to create security conditions for Russia,” says the channel.
According to the observations of experts, most of the participants in the conflict have already perfectly understood that it will not end in the near future and that an agreement must be made for the world economy to work.
“Ideas to exclude Russia from global markets, if at all failed, have been profoundly revised in recent months,” says Readovka. – In turn, Russia is well aware that it is no longer possible to believe the words of the West, therefore it does not make concessions. Hence the refusal to demilitarize the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant and the wait-and-see policy of OPEC+ in relation to the ceiling introduced for the price of Russian oil.
