These talks are a nonsense, because Putin demands are ridiculous. They are also a nonsese because there are not EU and Ukraine representatives involved
Negotiations failed. Simple as that. Ivansky can’t get over 1989 Malta Summit, they think they can rewind to the same situation, just as they did in 1940s with the Curzon line, like an obsession.
As for future talks, it’s clear that russian foreign agents/operatives are working in the blind with those talks, as the *vozhd* hasn’t communicated anything. I haven’t catched the names of the military attaches that partook at the negotiations. They’re out for blood – have been since 2014; dare I say, since Yeltsin caved in to them.
More so, this situation cannot be backtracked. Even if Volodya is magically killed in his sleep by some lone minion, the damage his siloviki and Ozero gang done cannot be undone, as if it’s 1989-1991 with the CPSU. They’ve weaponised any neutral points that weren’t meant to be used as a weapon in bilateral, multilateral, and international relations.
It can’t return to normal without, sorry to say, severe decapitations in the hundreds of thousands – millions.
In this situation, to return at the beginning, it’s a question of time. The soil is thick and hardened, it’ll take another month or so to turn into mud. That’s their window to defenestrate themselves into Ukraine.
Then, it’s a question how intensive the kinetic-asymetric will be, how much will it engulf, whether to just the region or to downing of satellites…
By design, these talks are not meant to really amount to an outcome but as a precursor that defines a new level of risk to NATO enlargement and activity in the East. Russia is essentially laying down a fresh marker to make NATO more aware of it’s sensitivities and the cost to ignoring those.
The message on Ukraine has been sent loud and clear. The build up of forces has been happening throughout 2021. Russia is pivoting for an always on approach where it has now poured the powder keg all over and the question that will linger is, what will light that fuse? It could be another TB2 strike by Ukraine on the Donbas forces, NATO armament assist, more NATO trainer presence etc. This situation now gives Zelensky a lot of thinking and keeps NATO on the edge as to how it approaches it’s activities in regards to Ukraine & further eastern activity.
