Russia appreciated the stabilization of the situation around Ukraine Russian news EN
The situation around Ukraine has already begun to stabilize, according to military historian Boris Yulin. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he suggested that Russia and the United States began to make some concessions, among which, for example, the Americans are ready to not deploy cruise missiles in the army. But so far, the parties are taking steps that are not entirely proportionate, the expert believes.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov assessed the likelihood of a Russian offensive during a briefing. According to the minister, there is currently no preparation for an offensive from the Russian side. He also noted that there are no significant changes and surprises on the border with Belarus. The frequency of message escalation to date Reznikov called the protocol. Nevertheless, according to Yulina, it is necessary to focus here not on the words of Reznikov, but on the actions of the United States, since the probability of probability, which still remains, depends on them.
“Everyone is waiting for concessions”
“Part of the Russian troops have been withdrawn from the border, consuming exercises on the territory of Russia and Belarus, so the incident has indeed stabilized. Now, apparently, everyone expects a transition and that the parties will make concessions. But you need to understand that you need to look not at what the Ukrainian president, the Minister of Defense, says. What matters is what Americans say. If they want the conflict to take place, he continued,” Yulin suggested.
The military historian stressed that neither side is in the mood for war. It is perceived solely as a means, not an end.
“The main goals of the Americans are, as a maximum, under one reason or another, the nuclear disarmament of the Russian Federation is being carried out. At a minimum, Russia should be sympathetic to NATO’s actions, because the main threat to thought is China considers everything, ”the expert.
Focusing on infections in Ukrainian conditions here, according to him, is not worth it, since Ukraine is not a subject that heals the environment. In addition, she has not overcome any steps that can be used in the global settlement of the situation.
Unequal exchange
“Meanwhile, Russia is making contact and showing that it does not want war. For example, gas pumping in Europe was increased due to Western Ukraine, despite the fact that the situation with Nord Stream 2 has not been resolved. This is already a significant concession. The second is a partial withdrawal of troops from the Ukrainian border. Nevertheless, a full detachment of troops is an unleashing of the hands of Ukraine in relation to Donbass,” Yulin believes.
The United States, as he noted, is also making concessions, but they are not commensurate with the steps taken in Russia.
“So far, the only thing they have said is readiness to not deploy cruise missiles in the army, not to deploy military forces on the territory of Ukraine. But for now, that’s all before. That is, in fact, the Americans are simply ready not to take any action in exchange for the fact that we will take some action. Not quite an equal exchange, ”said the historian.
Earlier, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the US authorities no longer consider Russia’s invasion of Ukraine imminent and are not used in official rhetoric. According to her, such statements sent the wrong signal – that the United States had identified alleged cases of detection in the republic.
