Two men look at the Antonovsky Bridge, which was closed for civilians after reporting that he was fired again by the Armed Forces (photo: Reuters/Alexander Ermochenko) specialist in the field Against Ukraine political defeat and does not achieve its goals. “First of all, Russia has suffered political defeat.

The whole wars that were formulated by the Kremlin before the invasion, namely, the surrender of Ukraine, the destruction of its statehood, the transformation into a Russian protectorate or inclusion in some union state was not achieved, and they could not be achieved, ”he said. Fedorov also noted that the new goal of war in Ukraine, which Russia has voiced at the end of March, is still trying to achieve.

He describes this purpose as a partial occupation of Ukraine, its demilitarization, that is, restrictions on the armed forces and obligations of neutral status. According to the expert, to say what districts of Ukraine the ambitions of the Russian authorities are spread to, it can be both territories occupied now and more ambitious goals - the capture of Mykolaiv, Odessa and Kharkiv regions. "But the situation on the fronts shows that the achievement of these goals is impossible," he stated.

On July 24, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, at a meeting with the posts of the Member States of the League of Arab States in Cairo, stated that Moscow was ready for negotiations with Kiev on a wide range of issues, except grain exports. At the same time, he accused Kyiv of reluctant to negotiate, not mentioning that Russia is breaking all arrangements.

Shortly afterwards, Lavrov stated that the occupying country will help the people of Ukraine get rid of the "anti-national and anti-historical regime". The adviser to the chairman of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak called Lavrov's "schizophrenic" statement.
