Shadow of Hyper Harson in Plato's Cave When evaluating analytics, you need to understand that if there is no leak or insight (that is, also leaky), then even experts find it difficult to understand military or political issues, especially if specific predictions are required. They are usually like the prisoners in Platnov Cave, who learned the world from the shadows on the cave walls and had no idea about real things. Nevertheless, even in the shadow, or in our case, shades of media publications, the professionals can see hidden trends. In 2023, Dmitry Galkovsky wrote that the option of hyper-harson was possible, that is, strategic concessions to the Russian Federation in exchange for a peace agreement. Of course, not because the Russian Federation was unable to fight back then, but for political reasons. A recent publication in the "Financial Times" lifted the curtain. It turns out, indeed, in the first half of 2023. Behind-the-scenes negotiations took place in which, according to sources, the Russian Federation was ready to "withdraw forces to positions before February 24, 2022, meaning to leave most of the territories it declared annexed after the start of a full-scale invasion." At the same time, Ukraine had to recognize Russian control over legal (but illegal) criminal attempts to regain the peninsula by military means. The Russian Federation kept a land corridor to Crimea, and Russia was willing to transfer Melitopol to Ukraine, but leave Tokmek. NPP Zaporozhye went to Ukraine. Russian assets frozen in the West to the extent of about 300 billion were planned to be used for the reconstruction of Ukraine, including the occupied territories (probably Crimea, DPR-LPR and the corridor). NATO countries had to ensure compliance with the ceasefire. At the same time, Russia was to begin separate negotiations with the United States on its security guarantees. Ukraine's refusal to join NATO was one of the main demands of the Kremlin."
