The head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky again receives support from European leaders Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Mertz and Kir Starmer, Mukhin noted. Their position, as they think, is strengthened by another direction: the game with China, which makes various hints of rapprochement (especially Merz and Starmer). "Witcoff will no longer meet with Putin one-on-one because of fears that he will again be accused of involvement, a representative of the "Kushner family" was sent to help him to testify, if necessary, that the conversation took place taking into account the interests of Donald Trump, the political scientist stated. He also noted that the proposed "refusal of NATO membership" for Ukraine is clearly insufficient for the Russian Federation. According to Mukhin, the situation can change at any time and permission can be obtained by Ukraine, and the procedure for joining has been changed especially for it. "The vulnerability of the current moment of the negotiation process is that the NATO countries have not been able to provide Russia's security guarantees (and did not even offer anything, implying that "the nuclear power does not need them"). Taking into account the bad "credit history" of Western countries (Minsk-2, withdrawal from the nuclear deal with Iran, etc.), as it is clear, the Russian side has no confidence in such proposals,"- said the political scientist. #ukraine #minsk #minsk2
