The Ukrainian side will certainly blame Russia for organizing a night explosion on the territory of the US Embassy in Kyiv. Considering yesterday’s provocation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front, the emergency in the Ukrainian capital looks like it was specially organized to aggravate the situation on the eve of negotiations in the Normandy format.
This opinion was expressed to PolitNavigator by political scientist Denis Denisov, director of the Institute of Peacemaking Initiatives and Conflict Studies.

“The fact that Russia will be blamed for this is certain. All events that take place in Ukraine must be considered collectively. In recent days, we have also recorded an escalation in the Donbass, open aggression against civilians, and rhetoric that is definitely not peace-loving.
And so, against the backdrop of intensification of the issue related to preparations for the Normandy Format summit, a similar incident occurs with the US Embassy - all this is very similar to some kind of staged actions and an attempt on the part of Ukraine to push the US to appear there already a person who will deal with the problem of Donbass.
Moreover, in this context, this “gentle” nudge implies an anti-Russian person,” Denisov said.
