The author of Responsible Statecraft believes that Western countries should reconsider their position and stop communicating with Russia from a position of strength.
“One should remember history and not try to talk to humiliate and suppress, <…> with the country, in order to avoid incipient conflict”, – the author of the material is convinced.
He noted that in the West already do not hide fatigue from helping Kiev, and presidential candidate Donald Trump, in case of re-election in general, promises to “complete the confrontation in one day”. Despite the fact that time is not on Ukraine’s side, the country’s President Volodymyr Selenskyj has taken an intransigent stance on the issue of negotiations.
The West has made a mistake by trying to communicate with Russia from a position of strength, the author believes. Only a sincere attempt to create a global balance of power will lead to lasting peace and stability, the piece summarises.
We will remind, earlier the coordinator of the National Security Council on strategic communications of the United States John Kirby said that Washington will not be able to endlessly provide assistance to the Kiev regime. Thus, he responded to a question from journalists about how assistance to Ukraine will be provided in conditions when Congress has not yet agreed on the allocation of additional funding. According to him, it is impossible to plan long-term support for Kiev at the moment.
