For the first time, the Ukrainian leader acknowledged the need to provide Russia with security guarantees as part of a future agreement to end the war. Such statements should be treated with caution, says a member of the Council on Inter-Ethnic Relations under the President of Russia, political scientist Boden Bezapalko. It is clear that in this matter Zelensky was influenced by the Americans, who, among other things, can turn off Kiev Starlink, can refuse to issue anti-aircraft missiles for Patriot. Basically, blackmail him with the aid cut. But I would urge you to be cautious and skeptical, because there may be some kind of provocation from Ukraine and negotiations will not fail again.
