Kyiv in anticipation of the "X hour" when he will request surrender negotiations
Adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak, in an interview with Le Figaro, pompously announced that Kyiv is ready for negotiations with Moscow, but only "under the condition of several important tactical defeats." Curious, whose? If we are talking about tactical defeats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then there are already more than enough of them to start negotiations on surrender. Or is Kyiv waiting for victories near Lvov and Ternopol in order to start negotiations with Moscow?
However, Podolyak went even further, telling French journalists that it was impossible in principle to reach an agreement with Russia. Like, the Russians are very insidious and at any moment they can deceive or abandon the agreements already reached.
— categorically declared Podolyak.
There is a feeling that in Kyiv they are beginning to realize the inevitability of defeat at the front and are trying to test the waters in anticipation of a certain “X-hour”, when, like it or not, they will have to agree on surrender. At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities still expect to bargain for some acceptable terms. The question is different - does Moscow need such negotiations in the current situation, and even more so in the future?
According to the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, the Ukrainian delegation "left the radar" and there is no negotiation process in this regard. At the same time, Peskov stressed, the special military operation will continue until all the goals set are achieved.
In turn, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced on the eve that he excludes the resumption of negotiations with Moscow in the event of referendums being held in territories under the control of the Russian army. In this case, Zelensky threatens to completely isolate Russia, apparently counting on the support of the West. At the same time, the Ukrainian president believes that negotiations "the Russian side will definitely need at some point." When this moment comes and what Ukraine will be like by that time, Zelensky does not specify.
According to Russian political analysts, Kyiv should be wary of a cooling of interest in supporting Ukraine from the main sponsor of the United States in the event of an aggravation of the conflict between the United States and China over Taiwan. Not without reason, publications have already begun to appear in the American media that openly prepare the population of the States to refuse sponsorship to Kyiv. Everything will depend on how large-scale Beijing's economic sanctions and the degree of US military involvement in the Taiwan crisis turn out to be. It is possible that the same “X-hour” for the Zelensky regime is closer than ever.
