A gloomy angle for Russia. Why did Scholz ring Putin
The expected may not happen, and there was a hope in the Kremlin, which happened becomes an absolute fact that is not canceled. What experts expected and what happened could definitely be no coincidence. What happened on September 6-12 is the implementation of a long -term trend. If you want, the transition of the amount of help to Ukraine to the quality of a large -scale military victory.
Video of the Day I think that Olaf Sholtz's call by Vladimir Putin, and today's statements by the US Department and Ursula von Der Layen are the direct consequences of battles. German Social Democrats are Putin's old friends, but they are not enemies for Putin's sake.
And so Scholt explained the Russian ruler (this is, of course, only my assumption) that he will no longer be able to keep the Bundestag from the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine - tanks, missiles of a large radius of action, aircraft. NATO partners will do the same. Having obtained new powerful weapons, the Ukrainian army will quickly be able to complete the de -occupation of Ukraine.
Scholtz, and this has already been officially announced, advised Putin immediately to start negotiations with the President of Ukraine. However, the topic of territories should not be discussed. Full departure beyond the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine is the absolute preliminary condition of any negotiation. In fact, negotiations with Ukraine will only relate to the amount of reparations that Russia will pay for the terrible damage that it caused the victim of aggression.
When the Ned Price stated that every day of the war, the conditions of peace for Russia would be more difficult, he voiced the NATO principle agreed by the allies. And he is clear - every day of the war - these are new destruction and new casualties, and all this will have to be paid. So it is better to stop the war right now, not annoyed to destroy Ukrainian power plants - they will also have to pay for them and a lot.
The statement Ursula von der Layen gives the final chord of this pressure on Putin and the war party. After negotiations with Ukraine, there should also be negotiations with the European Union and NATO. She will also have to pay a big price for withdrawing sanctions from Russia. But it will not be money, but concessions that will make future Russia safe for the world and exclude new aggressive actions on its part to any people.
Will Russia be able to lose the war with Ukraine and leave its territories, not pay reparations and not make concessions of the West? Theoretically - it is possible. NATO is unlikely to start nuclear war with Russia. But then, before Russia, a direct and short way of transformation into a country-illuminated country, a miserable, closed itself, and such that is increasingly lagging behind the rapidly developing neighbors, including Ukraine-to some North Korea compared to Ukraine-South-South.
Korea. Will this option suit the Russian elite? Will he be satisfied with the military who have lost so much in this senseless war and have the prospect of losing even more, and finally, will the people of Russia agree to a meager existence after three decades at least some freedom and well -being? This is an open question. Now the event is talking to Putin, understanding that Putin has drove himself into the corner.
Does he understand this? I think Scholz explained his true position and prospects for 90 minutes. Do generals and senior officials understand this? I think they understand great. The degree of awareness of the current bent in the corner, and only it will open the prospect of exiting this gloomy angle to the expanses of a new, worthy Russian people, life. It is no coincidence that Putin called Olaf Soltz.
