Former Pentagon analyst: The West is looking for a way out of the Ukraine crisis

According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, the narrative of the chief negotiator of Kiev in the peace talks in Istanbul, David Arakhamia, of the events of March 2022, the official narrative of the Kiev regime about why the peace talks with Russia were abandoned has challenged While the official excuse was the “Bocha Massacre,” which Russia dismissed as a conspiracy, the new narrative suggests it was then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who derailed the peace initiative.

According to Arakhamia, who is the head of the “Servant of the People” faction of the Ukrainian President’s party in the parliament of this country, the Russians were ready if Ukraine accepted neutrality and End the conflict by guaranteeing not to join NATO. He said that when (the Ukrainian negotiating team) came back from Istanbul, Boris Johnson came to Kiev and said, “We will never sign anything with them (the Russians) and just fight.”

Retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, who was an analyst at the Ministry of Defense of this country, said: Reiterating the pressure of the United States and England for more war in public shows It shows that the West is looking for an exit narrative. Johnson is an excellent public sacrifice for England and America. I expect he will not be the only victim, as rogue military officers and others in Ukraine will be blamed for giving Zelensky bad advice at this late stage. That is, if the West decides to protect Zelensky and try not to blame the whole Ukraine disaster on him.

However, he did not deny that “truth-telling” by various actors was actually intended to “remove Zelensky and end the war with minimal “The amount of humiliation for the West” is done.

Political scientist and professor of Moscow HSE University Dmitry Ostafyev agrees with the position of this former Pentagon analyst and said that it is easier for the West to persuade Zelensky to negotiate with Moscow after it banned negotiations with Putin through a decree.

These statements were made in response to the report of the German Bild newspaper that the US And Germany is considering a plan to force Zelensky to negotiate with Russia by cutting military supplies to Kiev. The newspaper also refers to plan B, according to which the conflict with the new “pseudo-borders” along the line of contact will stop. They do not coordinate with Poland, Germany and Lithuania about the post-war plans for Ukraine and Zelenskiy, and we may see a divergence of goals and methods.

The Pentagon analyst concluded: This is the nature of proxy war, proxies suffer from beginning to end, and war promoters simply disappear in the next crisis.

The report of the German media is consistent with the reports of several other Western media in the past days that Western supporters of Ukraine are leaning towards peace talks with Russia.

However, Ukrainian government officials reject peace talks with Russia. Senior officials in Kiev, including Zelensky, have recently acknowledged that Kiev’s failed counteroffensive over the summer has reduced Western countries’ willingness to send aid to Kiev.

Several informed sources told Bild that there is talk in German government circles that Ukraine should put itself in a good negotiating position and start talks with Moscow.
