European integration and reduction of US assistance: whether there is pressure on Ukraine on negotiations with the Russian Federation - expert (video)

According to the expert Igor Chalenko, any exclusion into the information space for negotiations with the Russian Federation testify to the actual gaping of the soil, how much Ukraine and society are ready to agree to certain scenarios. Currently, two circumstances as Ukraine's accession to the European Union and the reduction of US assistance in 2024 have coincided in the world plane.

What the consequences will have the influence of these two events on the path to the European integration of Ukraine, said the head of the Center for Analysis and Strategies Center Igor Chalenko Youtube channel Focus. He noted that everything concerning the European integration into the EU's economic block, as well as the North Atlantic Alliance, actually passes the track that was outlined earlier.

"We all knew well when an oral recommendation and an oral report of the European Commission were announced. The written report has already been received. He stressed that he does not consider it possible to draw any direct parallels between the US position to a certain reduction of Ukraine's support and an effort to plant Ukraine at the negotiation table.

However, according to Chalenko, the topic of comprehensive European integration of Ukraine is used to create certain negotiation conditions under which Ukraine is not quite confident. "For example, we have heard a statement (NATO's expense secretary. -Ed. ) Anders Rasmussen that Ukraine can join NATO with a model of West Germany. Also from other Alliance's exponents, we have heard of the South Korean script," the expert reminds.

According to the chairman of the center, this testifies to the actual gap, so to speak, the ground, how much Ukraine and Ukrainian society are ready to agree to such scenarios. "So far, no one responds to the point of view that Ukraine will make concessions. We continue to work out a peace track, coming out of the peace plan of President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky," Chalenko states. He recalled that three sets of peace at the level of security advisers have already been held.

In the future, the fourth summit is planned to be held before the global peace of the leaders of the states. Therefore, according to the expert, now the crystallization of the global position is continuing about what negotiations with fair conditions for Ukraine should be. Chalenko called all the other calls simply efforts to extinguish the flames without thinking about any, including strategic, consequences for Ukraine. "Today it is quite obvious that the Russian Federation is not going to stop.

It takes time solely to regroup and put a new blow. Indeed, but yet if the Russian Federation changes its position and agrees to real negotiations, then we will see," - he said. Chalenko. At the same time, he noted that Ukraine never fundamentally refused negotiations, but stated last year that it was not possible with the current President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.

"I think everything is developing in dynamics, but at this stage we make one bet on our defense forces despite the fact that the war is now continuing, as the commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny, in a certain positional state, said," Chalenko summed up. We will remind that the focus in its own material also told that representatives of Ukraine and the United States had held "second -level" negotiations with the Russians.
