James Carden, former advisor to the American section of the Russia-US Presidential Commission on Promotion of Bilateral Cooperation, believes that the Ukraine crisis can be resolved by declaring Kiev’s neutrality. He states that Russia will not accept anything less than a guarantee that Ukraine will not be granted NATO membership. TASS.
Cardin believes that negotiations to resolve the crisis have not yet been completed because the United States is disturbed by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The political scientist also supports the idea of Ukraine’s neutrality expressed by Anatol Lieven, head of the Eurasia program at the Quincy Institute.
Lieven proposes limits on the types and volumes of weapons Ukraine could have if it aspired to become a prosperous country with liberal governance and a viable path to European Union membership.
Previously, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky had categorically opposed ceasefire and peace negotiations with Russia. The Ukrainian president expressed confidence that Moscow will take advantage of this situation to regain power and then be able to “mobilize” Ukrainians two or three years later. Meanwhile, the Kremlin announced that there had been no full progress in the negotiations and found the secret meeting in Saudi Arabia on the “peace formula” strange and meaningless.
