Terror with a hint of peace. As Russia with blows to Odessa and Nikolaev bows Ukraine to negotiations

The meaning of Russia's plan in the shelling of Ukrainian ports is purely political, the military observer Alexander Kovalenko is convinced. Thus, the Kremlin wants to plant Ukraine at the negotiation table begins to draw the goal of Russian blows in Odessa. Of course, this terror is related to the rupture of the "grain agreement", but what is the essence of blows in the city, which was the main grain hub? The essence is simple - the restoration of grain dialogue, but under Russia.

And not just on the terms of Russia, but with direct direct contact of Kyiv and Moscow. After all, the Grain Agreement, as such, was between Ukraine, Turkey and the UN. There was no place in this triangle. Yes, she also signed something with the UN and Turkey there, but legally Russian status in the agreement was nominal. Now Russia wants another status in this agreement and is trying to impose its prison with the only known method - terror. But this is not really the ultimate goal of terrorists.

In fact, if Russia manages to force Ukraine to go to such an agreement through bilateral contact, albeit with the participation of the UN and Turkey, it will be the first step in trying to force Kiev to the dialogue of the "truce" so critically necessary for the Russian occupation troops.

That is, the Kremlin's multi -passenger is extremely clear - through terror, to force Ukraine to go to the first, seemingly critically important agreement, but through it, to force the occupiers to seek from 2022 in order to restore and accumulate strength during the pause. Undoubtedly, no negotiations with the occupiers can be gone. They weaken and feel it, pause they need critically and unable to force the world directly, they are looking for bypass.
