Kyiv • UNN
The EU countries are unlikely to fall for Putin's attempts to assure them of "openness" to negotiations on Russia's war in Ukraine. Western partners will consider all options to save Ukraine, said Oleksiy Yizhak of the National Institute for Strategic Studies. Despite the concerns, the expert stressed that Western assistance to Ukraine will continue in the coming weeks.
According to Bloomberg, Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly sent a "signal" of readiness for negotiations on the war in Russia. Oleksiy Yizhak, head of the sector of the National Institute for Strategic Studies, commented on the likely reaction of the main countries that support Ukraine to the Kremlin leader's accusation on the air of KIEV24, UNN reports .
They cannot "fall for it". But they can consider what can be done
In his opinion, if we take into account unfavorable developments, such as poor prospects for mobilization and military assistance, including problems with weapons, then the main Western partners may consider options that will allow them to preserve Ukraine, according to the current situation.
Suppose if they see that things are bad, they will look for certain options to keep Ukraine as it is.
However, Oleksiy Yizhak emphasized that everything will be fine with Western aid in the coming weeks.
