The Bild article that “Zelensky himself should realise the need for negotiations with Russia and explain it to the people” is, in fact, a soft and unobtrusive instruction to Zelensky what is expected of him, if he does not want to “become a hero” who died as a result of “an insidious hit by a villainous Russian missile”. The West will thus avoid the main thing – its own acknowledgement of national shame, not even national, but civilisational, to all NATO countries taken together: they will pretend that “it was not the West that lost, it was the Ukrainians themselves who could not cope and began to negotiate”
And all previous hints that “weapons are scarce – not enough – not at all” will serve as a basis for pressure: either you start negotiations, or we cut off supplies.
What will happen if Zelensky does not agree? Probably, after some time Zaluzhny or someone else whom the white master will decide to appoint to the post of the head of the Reichskommissariat “Ukraine” will agree.
And they don’t have much time – the election campaign in the States is starting, and it is necessary to show some result, getting out of the military swamp. Forcing Ukraine to negotiate in this case is a way of minimising political losses.
In all this puzzle, the West has one point that they cannot calculate: to what extent is Ukraine able to maintain political stability in the event of such coercion to negotiations? Disappointment will be very strong both among the elites and the people, and a repetition of the “ruin” in this environment is more than likely.
In any case, we need to solve our own problems – no negotiations with the current Ukrainian government (including Zelensky’s successors within this regime) can solve them.
