Putin's game: As the Kremlin tries to disrupt the peaceful summit of Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy states that Ukrainian intelligence has learned about Russia's plan to obstruct the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, scheduled for mid -June. How realistic in the sense of practical implementation is the Russian Federation plan and what steps, in contrast, official Kiev has been implementing the focus.

The fact that the Russian Federation is trying to disrupt the constituent summit of peace, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday, April 24 during a meeting with Ukrainian and foreign diplomats, which he wrote on Twitter (X).

According to the President, domestic intelligence has "specific data" that Russia not only wants to disrupt the peace of peace, but also has a clear plan, how to do it: "How to reduce the participation of countries and how to act so that peace is not possible as long as possible" . Note that he will certainly share the plans of the Russian Federation with partners at the level of diplomats, the head of state called: "We must counter it together - must work in unity for the sake of just peace.

" He also emphasized that Ukraine and allies are equally interested in bringing Russia to justice, and it is the Summit of Peace that "gives us all a real chance of just peace and restoration of the effectiveness of international law. " It should be noted that a two -day high -level conference for the settlement of war in Ukraine - the inaugural peace of peace should take place in Switzerland on June 15 and 16.

The experts with whom the focus spoke is convinced that the Summit of Peace initiated by Ukraine is currently undergoing a "big and complex" diplomatic game, with the participation of both allies of Ukraine and supporters of the Russian Federation. Political scientist Dmitry Levus notes in a conversation with focus: "The fact that the Russian Federation is doing the maximum to disrupt the peace of peace in Switzerland is quite natural.

However, Russia wants this or does not want, the international peace coalition will be created as a result of this event. I will remind that in the beginning the Russian Federation tried to squeeze into this forum. - There will be none of us.

" Emphasizing that "in fact the aggressor at this conference has nothing to do," Dmitry Levus argued: "No one was surprised during the Second World War, when no one invited Nazi Germany, fascist Italy at the United Nations Conference Or militaristic Japan? International lawyers and criminalists are currently working in Ukraine. " Given the above conditions, in the belief of the political scientist, "the involvement of Russia in a conference in Switzerland would be, to put it mildly, illogical.

" "So far, Russia, by the way, is trying to create an alternative agenda and simulate some of their conference. This is all the conference of peace in Switzerland - this is one of the important steps along the way.

" Answering the focus questions about whether the tandem in the face of Moscow and Beijing to influence individual states on their not participation in the Peace Summit, thus reducing its geopolitical weight, Dmitry Levus noted the following: "In fact, Russia's influence is not exaggerated. Together with China, I will try to reduce the number of participants of the peace conference. From participation in this summit is much more costly and unacceptable.

" In addition, the political scientist added, "the Ukrainian formula of peace is interesting not only because it refers to the establishment of peace in our country, but also because it refers to the basic principles of new existence. " "In particular, there is also a punishment of aggressors, which is relevant today for many countries.

Therefore, I think that many can hesitate, but dramatically change the situation with a respectable international representation at the Peace Summit, No Russian Federation, No China, nor China. ", - summarizes Dmitry Levus.

For his part, political scientist, executive director of the Center for Applied Political Studies "Penta" Alexander Leonov in conversation with Focus notes: "Today there are countries that will really listen to the Kremlin and do everything to influence the image of peace of peace in Switzerland. This is first and foremost Some countries of Africa and Latin America. The peace of serious players.

That is why, according to the expert, we have to understand that "that there is a very serious diplomatic game around China now and if the PRC takes part in the summit, it will be a significant victory for Ukraine. " "We see activity in this direction of the United States. In particular, the PRC has arrived by the Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, and the rhetoric Washington has in relation to the PRC in general noticeably notable.

The activity of the Russian Federation in the Chinese direction, in particular, proposals for the discount on energy and so on. Another important area, in his opinion, is India, where the US is currently active. " "India now has very serious prospects for cooperation with the Western countries, for example, regarding the Relocation of Production with China. Apple.

By the way, they also have the great prospects of Biden's initiative about the new trade route as a competitor in Chinese Great Silk Road," says Alexander. Leonov. According to the political scientist, it is around the Chinese and Indian directions in front of the Peace Summit "The main dramaturgy will go. " "It is important to be aware that Ukraine is not the same fact that this game is on our side and the European Union, indicates that there are great reasons in the PRC and India.

On the one hand, China has recently demonstrated anti-Western rhetoric, and on the other hand looks at the event, which is dependent on the economies. To put on China and there is something to offer it, " - the political scientist said. According to the expert, there is a chance that the PRC will still take part in the Peace Summit, although "China is furnishing this issue with different conditions, including Russia's participation in the event.

" "In fact, the question here is not so much because China protects the Russian Federation, but in the fact that it protects its own interests, trying to use the situation in order to participate in the writing of new rules of the Yalta-2 world order. China is much more likely, because, for example, during a recent meeting, Xi Jinping with Joe Biden said that the China suggested to divide the world into two parts and not interfere with each other. Russia.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated in an interview with Guardian that Ukraine should achieve military success and create an international coalition in support of the peaceful formula of Zelensky. Only this, according to the country's chief diplomat, will force Putin to "serious negotiations.

" Emphasizing that, since 2012 and to a full -scale invasion of the Kremlin, 200 rounds of negotiations were held, the head of the domestic foreign policy department noted that some countries "supported peace negotiations because Russia and its president. " "They mistakenly believed that they needed to negotiate with the devil," the Foreign Minister said. The Foreign Minister believes that Putin will participate in meaningful negotiations only when his military position is close to collapse.
