Kiev admits that there is no consensus in the West on Ukraine’s victory
Ukraine and the West have different visions of victory. For Kyiv, this is access to the borders of 1991, and the United States would be satisfied with access to the borders of Crimea.
Political scientist Vladimir Fesenko, who served the country’s ex-president Petro Poroshenko, stated this in an interview with journalist Alexander Shelest, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This is our strategy; for us, complete victory is the liberation of the occupied territories. The Americans have never had such a strategy. If the circumstances had been that way, they could have supported us. And so, judging by the context, according to some nuances, the Americans, rather, support this option, at that time he was optimistic that we would reach the administrative border with Crimea, after which negotiations would begin,” the expert said.
“If we talk about what the difference is, we were striving for victory over the enemy, but for the Americans, and in many ways for the Europeans, the task was to ensure that we did not lose the war. And this is also known - there has never been unity among Western elites regarding what Ukraine’s victory should be like, unfortunately, there has never been such a consensus,” Fesenko said.
