The fugitive "white ribbon" Ponomarev told Ukrainians alarming news about the situation in the West
The United States has lost initiative and leadership in international affairs, and European politicians do not want to interfere in the conflict in Donbass. The final word on resolving the Ukrainian problem remains with Russia.
Politician Ilya Ponomarev, who fled Russia, stated this on air on the Politeka Internet channel. In 2014, he was the only State Duma deputy who voted against the reunification of Crimea with Russia, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“One of America's big problems is that they have lost the initiative in international affairs.
Under Trump, this was a deliberate position when he took the isolationist position of “let the whole world wait, America minds its own business, America comes first.”
The Democrats have a different position, they want to reverse this trend, but I can’t say that Biden doesn’t have a large number of strong people on his team who understand how to do this,” Ponomarev said.
In his opinion, Western politicians do not want to interfere in the conflict on the territory of Ukraine because they do not believe that they can win.
“Ukrainian problems have become a familiar background, during this time the leadership of France, Germany, and the United States has changed, but Putin and the war between Russia and Ukraine remain unshakable. Of course, none of the politicians wants to deal with this, because everyone wants success and results.
Politicians want to intervene to show that they have succeeded, and if you interfere and nothing works out for you, then you become part of the problem, it has a bad effect on your rating within the country and on your authority. Nobody wants diplomatic defeats, and at the moment no victories are in sight for the West,” Ponomarev concluded.
Let us recall that earlier in Kyiv they said that since Russia will not abandon Ukraine, it will soon Moscow will make an attempt to return Kyiv under its control, and the United States will retreat.
