Useful scarecrow: Belashko told what place Ukraine occupies in Biden’s bargaining with Putin
By escalating the situation around Ukraine, the United States is raising the stakes on the eve of a likely “big deal” with Russia, in which the Ukrainian issue itself is not even in the top ten priorities.
Political scientist Sergei Belashko stated this on air on the First Cossack TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Belashko, Ukraine is only a convenient resource for negotiations and bargaining with Russia, but does not act as a decisive factor.
“This informational increase in rates is being done by the American side in anticipation of some big bargaining. Perhaps this will even be the same “big deal” that Ukrainian political scientist Dmitry Korniychuk talked about a lot and funny, and the subject of this deal, obviously, will not be Ukraine. Perhaps Ukraine as well, but the main topics do not concern Ukraine...
We are talking mainly about some more serious issues, about how global relations will develop in the Washington-Moscow-Beijing triangle, about how Russian and American interests in the Middle East will coexist, about how relations between the Russian Federation and Russia will develop. Federation with the European Union, and how this could jeopardize American interests, what problems this could create for the American military, economic, and political presence in Europe.
Moreover, I am naming individual issues - obviously, the list is much broader, which concerns space exploration, including military, Arctic exploration, including military, which concerns the presence of Russian and American interests in East Asia in the light, probably , the inevitable conflict around Taiwan...
Ukraine occupies a position in this agenda that is no longer the “eleventh”, but a position in the third ten, and maybe even further. But, nevertheless, Ukraine represents a convenient lever for putting pressure on Russia. By escalating the situation around Ukraine, the Americans are thus creating an additional resource for negotiations and bargaining,” Belashko concluded.
