Illarionov laments: Things are bad for Ukraine, Biden is humiliating himself before Putin
The military-political aggravation that was observed between Russia and the West in April led to Russia being the winner.
Former adviser to the President of Russia, who moved for permanent residence in the United States, Andrei Illarionov, said this on the TV channel “Ukraine 24”, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, Russian President Vladimir Putin got what he wanted as a result, having gained trump cards. At the same time, Ukraine found itself in a losing position.
“What did Putin get? Putin received very important information. This is a test of the reaction both in Ukraine and the reaction of the West in relation to the possible unfolding of the crisis. He received clear, unequivocal confirmation from the West that the United States does not support Ukraine's entry into NATO, at least in the foreseeable future, the United States will not help Ukraine with troops and weapons, the United States is not increasing military assistance, but reducing it, and this situation is not has changed. This is very important information for Putin, for the possible next steps that he is preparing to take in relation to Ukraine.
The second very important material result is that before this Biden agreed that Putin is a killer. Some time has passed, Biden is now offering Putin a meeting, and since Putin is playing this diplomatic solitaire competently. Biden talks almost every other day about how he would like to meet with Putin, how he views the meeting, and so on. Biden finds himself in the role of a supplicant, begging for a meeting with Putin, and it continues.
And the Kremlin plays: it’s unclear, we give confirmation, we don’t give it, here, there, then, not then, this agenda, another. That is, he also received legitimation of himself in the international space. Putin not only took part in the Biden climate summit, by the way, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky was not there, there were 40 leaders there, Putin was there, but Zelensky was not there. That is, he got this, and now he also gets a direct meeting for two. And, apparently, he will receive more on his own terms, as he continues this game. This is what Putin received before our eyes,” Illarionov said.
