This interview explores two key issues: international negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine and upcoming events in Beijing. Special attention is given to the visits of US envoys Kellogg and Whitcoff, who have internal disagreements, as well as prospects for possible compromises.
It is noted that Trump is tasking his representatives with finding ways to end the war, but experts see no real conditions for peace. Meanwhile, Russia is reportedly raising its demands within talks. In Ukraine, there is an ongoing internal process of government reshuffling, notably the dismissal of several officials.
The conversation emphasizes that certain compromises for Ukraine are politically impossible and would only increase tension. Kellogg is reportedly also raising the issue of organizing an election campaign, which is considered an American proposal to advance the peace process.
Experts express skepticism about the effectiveness of yet another Whitcoff mission, since he has visited Moscow several times before without tangible results. Attention is focused on communication and record of progress, such as the release of prisoners. Kyiv uses such achievements to demonstrate progress.
Special significance is attached to upcoming events in Beijing marking the anniversary of the end of World War II. These high-level meetings could provide a platform for important international agreements, with participation expected from US, Chinese, and European leaders. Ukraine is considering taking part to strengthen its international standing.
Additionally, prospects for trade agreements between the US and China are discussed, which may influence the geopolitical process around Ukraine. Experts doubt decisive agreements will be reached but stress the importance of ongoing diplomacy and international engagement.
