Surkov's mouthpiece named the reason for the failure of the prisoner exchange in Donbass
Uncoordinated initiatives on the most important political points by representatives of Zelensky’s team affect the humanitarian component of the negotiations, which leads to consequences such as another breakdown in the exchange of detainees.
The director of the Center for Political Conjuncture, Alexey Chesnakov, who is considered close to the assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Vladislav Surkov, who oversees the Ukrainian direction, wrote about this on his Telegram channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We didn’t agree on anything in Minsk. It's a pity. There were prospects of progress and a good result by Christmas.
Zelensky’s team’s talkativeness is a nuisance. His uncoordinated initiatives on the most important points, which artificially narrow the boundaries for compromise. For example, with the latest amendments to the Constitution.
With its ill-conceived statements, maneuvers and tricks in the political sphere, Kyiv is increasing distrust in its actions in the humanitarian sphere,” the political scientist said.
“All tracks in the peace process are closely interconnected. If you want to move forward, make signals about your readiness to meet halfway, and not about tightening or changing your position. The ABCs of negotiations,” added Chesnakov.
