The Kremlin is betting on Ukrainian deserters
Moscow - Kyiv, September 6 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Stamm) - The Kremlin expects that negotiations with Ukraine on the status of the DPR and LPR will drag on, and the economic crisis and the collapse of the army will eventually force Kyiv to compromise on this issue. At the same time, the Kremlin does not indicate the boundaries of compromise.

As a person close to the Kremlin administration explained to RBC, after the ceasefire the parties will be able to begin substantive negotiations on the status of the republics; most likely, they will not be simple and quick, since there is no consensus among the leadership of the militia about whether they should remain part of Ukraine and in what status?
There is no single position in the leadership of Ukraine itself; there are also irreconcilable supporters of continuing the war, as RBC’s interlocutor emphasizes. Even if a decision is made on a ceasefire, it is not a fact that Poroshenko will be able to ensure its implementation by armed formations financed by the oligarchs, the source doubted.
However, Kyiv has no other choice: there is no one to fight now, the best forces have been defeated, the remaining ones are significantly battered, desertion is increasing, a person close to the Kremlin pointed out.
