On Monday, representatives of Russia and Ukraine talked to each other in Turkey for less than an hour, and the arrest of fighting seems unattainable today – says “Wall Street Journal”.
The newspaper emphasizes that the second round of direct negotiations between the parties in Istanbul took place the day after the Ukrainian drone attack on military airports in Russia, which stunned Moscow.
According to “Wall Street Journal” Russia, which in recent weeks has attacked Ukraine with a huge number of drones and missiles, killing civilians and destroying civil infrastructure, He will probably intensify attacks in response to Ukrainian surgery against her aviation.
The daily emphasizes that attacks on the weekend by Ukrainians on Russian military airports testify to the entry of war into a dangerous phase. According to “Wall Street Journal”, both sides apparently want escalation, and the perspective of the US peace agreement negotiated by the USA “.
The American portal Axios also referred to this Ukrainian operation, which in Kiev was called “Spider”. The website assessed that The attack will have serious effects not only for the current conflict, but also for the future of all wars. Axios reminded that Trump accused the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelanski during a quarrel in the White House that “there are no cards” in this war, while after three months the Ukrainian leader played by a card that no one expected.
Donald Trump did not know about the action of Ukraine
The US President has not been informed about the surgery plan and has not yet commented on these events in public – Axios said. However, representatives of the Magician movement speak of the fear of “Third World War”, and pro -Ukraińsky commentators point out that Kiev has few options on the table.
“Wall Street Journal” wonders, c“Spider's Pajęczyna” will result in greater involvement of American administration in a peaceful process, or on the contrary – abandoning efforts to regulate.
Ukrainian creativity on the battlefield provides information on what a modern war looks like, especially asymmetrical – emphasized Axios. Experts for national security point out that “Spider” aroused new concerns about the threat of using commercial infrastructure, e.g. Chinese container containers in the USA.
“Wall Street Journal” assessed that The only specific result of Monday conversations is to agree on the next exchange of prisoners. However, it seems that instead of weakening, the warfare will escalate, and the pressure from Trump is minimal.
The CNN television portal wrote on Monday evening that the positions of Russia and Ukraine are invariably distant from each other, and the parties cannot make a breakthrough in negotiations. The Russians, remaining uncomfortable for compromise, presented the Memorandum to Ukrainians with their maximistic goals, which would basically be unambiguous with Ukrainian surrender. The website wonders what actions Trump will take later. He points out that the president is under pressure, because his promise to bring the war to quickly ends in Ukraine looks very insecure.
Kurt Volker, a former US representative for Ukraine, appealed on Newsmax television with greater pressure on Russia from Ukraine and its Western allies. He assessed that the demands presented by Russia show that Moscow does not really want to negotiate for peace.
On Tuesday, the high -ranking envoys of the Chancellery of the President of Ukraine and the government went to a visit to the USA, where they intend to inform, among others About recent conversations in Istanbul.
