Strategic changes in the Ukrainian conflict soon will be.
The words of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to send UN peacekeepers to Donbass, to split the position of the West against Russia.
This writes the American edition of Stratfor.
According to the author, many Western countries have taken seriously the proposal. He recalled the reaction of the Minister of foreign Affairs of Germany Sigmar Gabriel, who has already expressed his joy on this occasion.
“Putin’s proposal can be seen as an attempt to persuade the United States and the West that Russia is seeking to limit the violence in the Ukrainian conflict. In light of the fact that it continues to play a leading role in the issues of Syria and North Korea, Moscow wants to prove the ability to make informed, constructive decisions,” writes Stratfor.
The author adds that in negotiations with the United States on the eve of the presidential elections in Russia scheduled for March 2018, Putin is unlikely to make significant concessions that could damage his popularity among the voters.
Unfortunately, adds the author, the limited scope of the Russian peacekeeping pozitii almost ensures that strategic changes in the Ukrainian conflict soon will be.
