Ukrainian political analyst Mikhail Pogrebinsky believes that the written response of the United States to Russia’s proposals on security guarantees will contain an important concession on Ukraine. He drew such a conclusion from the information that the United States is going to ask Moscow not to publish this answer.
The expert, according to RIA FAN, also drew attention to the strange behavior of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Geneva.
“The Secretary of State behaved like a doomed man,” Pogrebinsky said, adding that he understood that tomorrow it would be worse, and the day after tomorrow it would be even worse.
“Why did Blinken behave like that? He just knew that the United States would make concessions to Russia, at least in the Ukrainian issue,” the political scientist continued, stressing that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow Moscow would receive a written response from Washington, which would contain extremely unpleasant information for Kiev.
“And Washington will also ask Moscow not to make public the contents of this response,” Pogrebinsky said, adding that one does not need to have analytical abilities to understand that there will be “an important concession to Russia.”
Previously the agency Bloomberg, citing an EU official, reported that the US response would “outline areas in which allies can resolve Russia’s concerns.”
