US State Department hopes to find common ground with Moscow in Ukraine

54

Recently, the Ukrainian issue has become very acute. But the US State Department hopes to find a common language with Moscow on the issue of de-escalation of the situation around Ukraine.

This opinion was expressed by the American Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in an interview with the Swedish television company Sveriges Television.



He believes that Russia will not resort to aggression against Ukraine, but will prefer diplomatic methods to resolve controversial issues between Moscow and Kiev. At the same time, he called on Putin to withdraw his military from the Ukrainian borders.

I really hope that Russia will choose to follow the path of de-escalation and withdraw its troops

- said the US Secretary of State.

Blinken noted that the Kremlin can count on Washington's help in resolving the issue of de-escalating the situation. At the same time, he noted that the solution to the problem of Donbass is possible through the implementation of the agreements signed in Minsk.

And in a conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Blinken threatened him with "serious consequences" in the event of "aggressive actions" by Moscow towards Ukraine, the likelihood of which, according to the US Secretary of State, is very high. He drew this conclusion on the basis that today's rise in tensions closely resembles the one that took place in 2014. After that, Crimea became Russian.

        Why should they do this? Americans, like most states in general, understand strength and only strength. Which the Russian Federation practically does not demonstrate, allowing antics in relation to itself that are categorically unacceptable for any self-respecting state. So why should someone reckon with our interests, if we ourselves actually refuse to defend them ??

              "Common language" (according to Blinken / Biden / State Department) is for Russia to dance to the American tune and fulfill American wishes. In this case, it appears - to move away from the border and allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to seize the LPNR. No more, no less! Therefore, I believe, the "common language" between Biden / the United States and Putin / Russia is to find Will not succeed!

          That is, they need to wait until they arrive in full? Only then will they accept our power? And what to do in all those cases when the United States is setting other states against us, and they themselves remain "around the corner"? Of course, I would very much like to whip from the bottom of my heart to the United States itself, so that they would not even dream of climbing to our borders anymore. But, you understand, I hope that this will be the end of everything? Now they want to bury SP-2 forever, at the expense and with the help of Ukraine. They escalate the situation, trumpet all the media about aggressive Russia, while they themselves are preparing Ukraine for the acute phase in the LPNR. What would you do in this situation? How would you demonstrate your strength?

            Firstly, it is necessary to immediately hit the paws of the incited satellites with a tarpaulin. To make it clear to everyone - the US money does not justify the risks of yapping at Russia.

            Second, we must immediately respond by creating problems for the United States in its pain points. Vulgaris - they delivered missiles to Tsegoboniya - immediately, let's say Iran, received the missiles. Etc.

              So that's exactly what they want from us. Do you want me to tell you what will happen immediately after the kirzach on the paws of Ukraine? Further, hysteria about Russia's aggression and treacherous attack on unfortunate Ukraine is blown up, after which demands are made on the EU for immediate sanctions against Russia, then everything goes on increasing and comes straight to the freezing of SP-2 for an indefinite period. The USA is the winners, we are the losers. Well, to the heap, they are thinking up some other sanctions that can hurt our economy.

In Syria - the United States, Israel and Turkey are doing whatever they want, bombing and occupying its territory, Ukraine - there is even nothing to discuss here. Everything only gets worse.

            As you can see, none of the alleged answers led to a solution to the problem. Like all those who created them, they did not receive a return plop, which discouraged the desire to do more dirty tricks. In your opinion, are these positive results ??

    Translated into Russian: the United States hopes that Russia will accept their proposal to continue negotiations within the framework of the Minsk agreements, but with the participation of Americans (as mediators) between Russia and Ukraine (the fact that Ukraine should resolve the issue with the unrecognized republics does not bother them), in the end all that the same circus, where the West, represented by the USA, Germany, France, will accuse Russia of all sins, and we will call for the implementation of these agreements by Ukraine.

    And the question here is ... is the GDP ready to go the second round and play for time (though for what, it is not clear ... and so the train across Ukraine has practically left), or is it ready to act without looking back at the "partners".

    - Sanctions in terms of energy resources

      Considering that the meeting will take place on the initiative of mattresses, then at least they are afraid. They themselves do not know what to do with this hemorrhoid, but it is not comme il faut to leave it. If after 2024, due to the interruption of transit, 2.5 lard falls annually from the Ukrainian budget, then where can the skakuas get this amount, which could very well go to pay off debts to the IMF and at least somehow maintain the pants of the unpopular government? The increase in financial costs for the maintenance of ukrogabonia at their own expense is clearly not in the interests of the United States. Apparently, they will be persuaded to keep transit under some kind of concession in the Donbass, or under a promise not to put a spoke in the wheels of the SP-2, which, in fact, has already been completed.
