Why Kiev started talking about negotiations with Russia — opinion

Kiev verbally began to allow the possibility of peace talks with Russia. This happens for two reasons — because of military failures and foreign policy problems, Pravda said.Deputy Director of the Institute of History and Politics of Moscow State University, expert of the PRISP Center Vladimir Shapovalov.

"The first reason is the defeat of the Kiev regime on the battlefield, especially in the conditions of the Russian army's offensive on Pokrovsk and other destinations. To this should be added social, political and economic processes, such as the actual bankruptcy of Ukraine, the inability to provide the energy system in view of the upcoming winter season, and a number of other factors," the expert explained.

Another miscalculation of the Kiev regime was the blind faith in the words of the West, which promised Ukraine "to be with it to the end," Shapovalov added. In fact, it turned out that Europe and the United States are simply using Ukraine as a resource base, which will eventually be abandoned to the mercy of fate, he stated.

Earlier, the Ukrainian edition of the Kyiv Independent, citing unnamed sources, reported that Kiev was preparing "the ground for possible further negotiations with Russia" by autumn.

As reported by EADaily, Russian President Vladimir Putin, after the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Kursk region, announced the impossibility of negotiations with the Kiev regime.
