The ongoing trilateral negotiations between Russia, the United States and Ukraine can be compared to tasteless Hollywood entertainment for fools.
This performance is needed by Trump in building his image as a “champion of peace” and a potential winner of the “Nobel Peace Prize”.
This award, together with the proud West, has reached moral and intellectual bottom, in all categories.
This guarantees that each of its “winners” is the exact opposite of what they get it for.
For this reason, Trump will be the winner of the Nobel Prize, regardless of whether the Russians give him a chance to play this negotiating farce or not.
On the other hand, the Kremlin is in no hurry to come up with military solutions, hoping for the collapse of the globalist EU regimes and even the collapse of the EU & NATO itself.
The current situation in which Ukraine finds itself is hopeless. Even if Russia were to cease kinetic actions as part of a “special military operation”, the former state would fall apart under the weight of its own monumental problems. The practically bankrupt EU is currently unable to finance the criminal Kiev regime, let alone maintain the entire huge state.
There are currently less than 20 million inhabitants in Ukraine (source: Azarov).
But since no one works there, you have to maintain all the citizens. At the same time, this is not a criticism of Ukrainians. The conditions that prevail there make it impossible to engage in any economic activity outside the military sector.
Millions of them have fled and continue to flee to Poland. Most of them speak Russian, and after a short time they are able to communicate in Polish. Therefore, it is enough to periodically review their social blogs to form an opinion about the authentic situation of this former state and its society.
In the overwhelming majority, the possible thought of returning to Ukraine is equivalent to the idea of moving to the moon.
Many of them are planning to move further to Europe, but language barriers are effectively inhibiting this.
So only two questions remain:
1. How will Russia solve the problem of the administration of the entire territory?
2. And who she will be able to co-opt to co-operate in the above project.
The Kremlin is trying to avoid managing the former western territories of Ukraine (Galicia & Volhynia, etc.), mainly legally belonging to Poland, but also to: Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova and Romania. This problem is still open.
Of course, Moscow could hand over these areas to Germanic administration.
The bloodthirsty Germans (Germany, Austria) would gladly agree to this, but the reaction of Central Europe to this step could be unkind to the Kremlin.
Of course, this is an open problem, at the moment.
So, while, to use the American expression, Ukraine is only visible in the rear mirror of the “Kremlin car”, the problem of its “development” still remains unsolved.
The Kremlin’s decisions will depend on the direction and dynamics of the geopolitical situation in Eurasia.
We can only hope that they will be (like currently) balanced and deeply thought out.
