Putin, forgiven by the West, is preparing to finish off Ukraine – Kiev political scientist
On the eve of the meeting between the presidents of the United States and Russia, Ukrainian experts predicted a “draining” of Ukraine’s interests, and the results of the meeting not only met these expectations, but also exceeded them.
Mikhail Kukhar, economist, head of the Independent Group for Macroeconomic Analysis and Forecast, stated this on the UKRLIFE.TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Two weeks ago, expectations and forecasts were quite negative. There was confidence that after Biden’s visit to Europe, world security would suffer greatly, dictators would have their past sins and debts written off, and they would receive some kind of indulgence for new aggressive actions around the world. All bad expectations were met, even with overlap. We can safely predict an even worse situation. What we saw in the week after Biden’s visit to Europe is somewhere in the 19th century, in an era when force decides everything, but there is no law.
First, Putin declares that there was a coup in Ukraine, and this is all wrong, it was arranged by the United States. This is aggressive rhetoric, which he usually had during the active phase of the war. Now he is making this statement again, it resounds loudly throughout the world, and in a day or two Germany and France invite him to a meeting with the leaders of the European Union. They say: “Dear, you haven’t met with us for 7 years, let’s discuss it again, we have so many plans for cooperation,” the Ukrainian complains.
“That is, a person questions the stability and security in Europe, says that he does not recognize the legitimate authority in a neighboring state, creates all the conditions for war, and European leaders do not notice this moment at all, invite him - “come to our table - will talk".
After Biden’s visit to Europe, I did not see any tough statements or sanctions that would support the opposition in Russia and Belarus. Sanctions against Belarus were adopted by everyone who could, and even the leaders of the European Union are already making a statement that these are quite tough sanctions.
Thus, all the worst expectations were met, and even more. And we can safely make a prediction that we are on the threshold of a huge chain of snowball wars in which some states seize the territories of other states. We are on the verge of a snowball of aggression, because a few days ago the most aggressive power in the world was forgiven,” the expert worries.
