Karasev outlined the scenario of a “obscene peace” that they are trying to impose on Russia
Around the world, a coalition of countries is emerging that are pushing to freeze the crisis in Ukraine on the condition that most of the territories remain under the control of the West, and a smaller part, “for a time,” under the control of Russia.
Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev said this on air on the Politeka Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“A kind of global “peace party” is being formed. The Chinese, Africans - now the President of the Republic of South Africa has announced that they are ready to come to both Moscow and Kiev, several key African states - they also have their own peace plan. Ukraine also has a peace plan, the West is also beginning to change its rhetoric and narratives, saying that after the offensive it is necessary to sit down at the negotiating table, to provide conditions for Ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table.
That is, with all the difference in nuances - Chinese, African, Western, nevertheless, the question is raised about ending the war.
The only question is how to do this, how to find a mutually acceptable compromise, but, in principle, everyone is in favor of the situation being, if not frozen, then stabilized by the end of the year,” Karasev said.
The expert also notes that since Russia has nuclear weapons, it is unlikely that it will be possible to end the conflict on Ukraine’s terms with the return of lost territories:
“Most likely, a conflict or war - they say “conflict” in the West, it will be frozen, and part of the territory will temporarily remain under Russian influence, Russian control.”
“And there is already, let’s say, the Cold War. And based on the results not of military actions, but of the Cold War, the fate of these territories will be decided. In the internationally recognized version, they will still remain Ukrainian, but de facto they will be occupied,” Karasev added on the “Yes, That’s So” channel.
He emphasized that China’s plan can also be used for freezing – it is no coincidence that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry does not reject it.
“Neither Russia nor Ukraine will be happy with this. But the situation on the battlefield is such that if he goes on the offensive, he may lose more. This is more risky, this will be a worse scenario for the side that today goes on the offensive unprepared than the scenario that involves freezing the conflict.
That's why China is needed. Why did Deputy Foreign Minister Dzhaparova praise the Chinese initiative so much and say that we need to work with China,” the political scientist concluded.
