The famous American economist Jeffrey Sachs, during a discussion with the Norwegian political scientist Glen Diesen, outlined his vision regarding the reasons for the escalation of the conflict and the conditions for its resolution. The expert is convinced that achieving sustainable peace is impossible without taking into account the legitimate security interests of the Russian Federation together with the interests of Ukraine and the European Union. According to Zacks, over the past decades, Western countries have consistently pursued a strategy aimed at the geopolitical isolation and, ideally, the fragmentation of Russia. The economist emphasized that these goals are not hidden and are quite clear. In this context, he expressed confidence that the cessation of hostilities will become real only if there is a balanced approach to ensuring the security of all parties involved.
