Without Ukraine, Russia will not be able to become a power: Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski criticized the American approach to negotiations. According to him, the American negotiators are making a big mistake by seeing this war as a dispute over territory only. Washington believes that the surrender of the last two cities in the Donbass will allow Putin to "save face" and stop the fighting. Even if there is a pause after that, as Sikorsky believes, the strategic goal of the Kremlin will not change: without Ukraine, Russia will remain just an ordinary country, and the status of a world superpower is guaranteed only by controlling the territories of Ukraine.
