“The West doesn’t care about Crimea, but Zelensky will be demolished without capturing the peninsula” - Karasev
The internal political situation in Ukraine is quite unstable and is still in a dormant mode, pacified by the war, however, in the event of any compromises with the Russian Federation on the part of President Zelensky, his opponents will remove him from his post
Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this on the Internet channel “Iton TV”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“The Western approach is to agree that Ukraine will lose these territories that were annexed in November, but it cannot agree to this. This is a defeat for the West. This is not even a defeat for Ukraine, but a defeat for the West. Therefore, to agree that Ukraine sets the goal of liberating Crimea means continuing a big war, possibly escalating into the Third World War.
Blinken’s position is this: return to reality on February 24, 2022, because the Americans understand that the problem of Crimea will not be solved in the same way as, say, returning to the borders on February 24. Secondly, this is a continuation of the war, taking into account the need to significantly increase military, financial, and so on assistance to Ukraine,” Karasev said.
He noted that for Zelensky to return to his position on February 24 would be the most acceptable option, but by doing so he could provoke another Maidan.
“Returning to the position of February 24 would seem to be an acceptable result for Zelensky. Return to those borders that were not lost by Zelensky, but were lost under the previous government. But the Ukrainian authorities will no longer agree, because from the point of view of internal politics in Ukraine, which is unstable, and so far only supposedly pacified by the war and the external enemy, it can flare up with renewed vigor, internal politics, with questions for Zelensky. Zelensky cannot do this for political reasons.
Or there is a third option. Everyone is exhausted. The conflict is frozen without any truce, but they shoot. Then the war can escalate, for example, the war between Iraq and Iran ended in 1988, they simply stopped shooting, no one had the strength,” the political scientist gave an example.
