Russia seemed to enjoy the defrosting of the relations between Moscow and the new administration of Donald Trump, which marked an improvement in the Moscow departure from the United States during the presidency of the White House of Joe Biden. Meanwhile, tensions between Washington and kyiv have been increasing and finally exploded at the end of February in a spectacular shouting party between the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The resumption of diplomatic relations and military aid between the United States and Ukraine now puts pressure on Russia to show if it is about finding an agreement to end war.
Silenced reaction
The leadership of Russia must now determine how to respond to what the analyst Andrius tursa, advisor to Central and Eastern Europe, risk consultant, had, described as “a high -fire curved ball for Moscow” that exerts pressure on the Kremlin to accept the agreement.
Until now, there has been a mixed reaction to the development of other senior Russian officials.
Russia Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov carefully avoided the mention of conversations in an interview with American bloggers dotted in Russian state media on Wednesday, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs SPakaver Maria Zakharova told the state media that Russia would not be entry into action after the last conversations, saying that “the main news for us will come from here.”
“The establishment of the position of the Russian Federation does not occur abroad due to some agreements or efforts of some parts. The establishment of the position of the Russian Federation occurs within the Russian Federation”, “. She saidAccording to a translation of NBC news.
Meanwhile, Konstantin Kosachev, president of the International Affairs Committee of the Upper House of the Parliament of Russia, said Wednesday that any agreement would be in terms of Moscow, not from Washington.
“Russia is advancing (in Ukraine) and, therefore, will be different with Russia,” he said on Telegram, according to NBC News Reporting. “Royal agreements are still being written there, in the front. They should also understand in Washington.”
Putin dilemma
Analysts say that the approach between the United States and Ukraine “places Putin in some of a dilemma.”
“If Putin decides not to support the impulse of a high temporary fire, it will drastically alter the optics of war and position Russia as the main obstacle to peace,” said Peter Dickinson of the Ukraineealert service of the Atlantic Council, he said in analysis on Tuesday.
“This places Putin in a kind of dilemma. Despite suffering strong losses on the battlefield, their armies continue to move slowly but constantly in Ukraine. Meanwhile, recent dramatic changes in the foreign policy of the United States have increased their sense of confidence that the international coalition that supports the Ukrainian war effort is finally fracturing,” said Dickinson.
As such, it is likely that Putin is “understandably reluctant to accept the immediate calls,” Dickinson said, adding: “At the same time, he knows that if he rejects Trump’s objects of peace, this will probably derail the extensive restart in relations between the United States and Russia that the new administration of the United States has been pointing to since January.”
