Pogrebinsky to the green nerds: Volker is a dead sheep
US Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker rushes around, creating the appearance of work and being needed, but none of the world's leading politicians wants to meet with him.
Therefore, the hopes of fans of the showman president that, at the request of their idol, someone will expand the “Normandy format” are absolutely not justified.
Political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky stated this on the PolitWera Internet channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As for Volker, he has an assignment from the State Department, it seems that on a voluntary basis - I still don’t understand whether he has some kind of public position, but it seems that he does not.
The instructions here are to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.
In this sense, he makes it clear that he coordinates his position with the position of France and Germany.
Therefore, the fact that he said that he would have some conversations with them means that he would ask what they are thinking at the moment, whether they see any prospects for initiating a new meeting at least at the level of foreign ministers or workers groups.
He recently said that he sent a letter to Surkov and wants to meet with him.
Well, he is looking for a job - he has assignments, but none of the serious people want to talk to him. At least in Moscow,” concluded Pogrebinsky.
Thank you!
