Developments in Ukraine American experts: it is time for Kiev to negotiate with Russia

According to the international group Tasnim News, an authoritative publication American Foreign Affairs, published by the Council on Foreign Relations in the United States, wrote in an analysis that the failure of the counteroffensive, the weakening of the support of the United States and Europe and the onset of the cold season – all this requires a comprehensive reassessment of the current strategy of the Kiev authorities and supporters. It is foreign to them and it is necessary to re-evaluate the goals and sit at the negotiating table with Russia. He should consult with his European partners about the change in Kiev’s strategy and Ukraine’s willingness to hold peace talks with Russia while simultaneously moving from an offensive to a defensive position on the battle front.”

In this analysis, it is reminded that Ukraine and Western countries continue to move on a shaky path and have not achieved success due to the huge difference between the goals and the tools available to achieve them.

Charles Kupchan, senior expert of the Council on Foreign Relations and professor of international relations at Georgetown University, and Richard Haas, chairman emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations and an expert on strategic issues, admit in this article that Kiev’s military goals are far from military and strategic. are available According to them, the continuation of Kiev’s arms and equipment supply strategy is a “costly stalemate” given the state of the battlefront because “there is no silver bullet that can turn the tide in the war with Russia” and even the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zalogeny also admitted this situation, and the military, unlike politicians, usually speak frankly.

In this analysis, the West should not pressure Ukraine to continue the war. rather, it should seek to convince Ukrainians of the fact that they need to adopt a new strategy to achieve their goals. <...> It would make much more sense for Kyiv to ensure that more areas of the country’s territory do not fall under the control of Russian forces and threaten Ukraine’s future with a weak and long-term military effort.
