Ukrainian political scientist: Urgently agree to the worst option, otherwise the next one will be catastrophic
Ukraine remained in the same positions as when it could have stopped the war in 2022, only now having suffered massive territorial and human losses.
A Ukrainian political scientist stated this on the Vyshka channel. Andrey Zolotarev, the correspondent of PolitNavigator reports.
«You can talk as much as you like about a new counter-offensive, but for now we are only losing and cannot even talk about regaining our positions, which were for February 2022. So far, everything is developing according to a very bad scenario for Ukraine. And it can be a choice between bad and very bad. If the choice is between bad and very bad or even catastrophic, you must choose bad"- said Zolotarev.
In his opinion, in fact Ukraine remained in the same positions as before Istanbul, but paid a huge price for it.
"Even if the Istanbul agreements were implemented, this would mean Zelensky’s political suicide and his team. But there are things when you have to choose between your own interests and the interests of the country. And now, given the public mood, despite the fatigue from the war, this will be perceived negatively by society. And it is clear that this the shadow of the “obscene world” will fall on the authorities.
This is well understood. And they understand perfectly well that it will be difficult for people to explain why we didn’t stop the war then, when there was an opportunity, and now, having received so much destruction, having lost so many human lives, we came to an even worse option. This will be a very lethal argument against the authorities,” the political scientist concluded.
