A livestream was held discussing the Moscow peace talks involving delegations from the US, China, and Russia. The host interacted with viewers, answered their questions, and explored possible scenarios regarding the war in Ukraine.
The discussion focused on the meeting in Moscow attended by Jared Kushner and a Chinese representative, aimed at clarifying parties’ positions, providing guarantees to China, and narrowing Russia’s room for maneuver. It was noted that Russia is increasingly losing sovereignty, as Beijing tightens control, making these talks politically and economically crucial for Moscow.
The speaker analyzed the US position, especially the potential pressure from Trump’s team on Ukraine regarding terms for ending the war, including territorial concessions, army reduction, occupation fixation, and the risk of new alliances in Europe without US or Russian participation. China’s growing role as an independent player and mediator was discussed, alongside the EU’s position on supporting Ukraine, frozen Russian assets, and prospects for reforms and Ukraine’s future accession to the EU and NATO.
Numerous listener questions touched upon current political scandals, challenges for the Ukrainian military, the roles of national leadership, possible government changes, corruption, progress of negotiation tracks, the likelihood of reaching a peace agreement by year’s end, and the broader international context – involving the US, China, and Europe.
In summary, the host emphasized the structured nature of the talks and their significance for Ukraine’s future. Social sentiments, the need for support for the army, post-war reforms, and shifting roles of Ukrainian politicians and oligarchs were also highlighted.
