No one has canceled the peace talks on resolving the conflict in Ukraine; they will certainly take place, but they will not be public, – said political scientist and independent analyst Sergei Stankevich in a conversation with 360.ru commented The statement of the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev that Kiev has excluded the possibility of dialogue by attacking the Kursk region.
“The position expressed by Medvedev is the position of an important government official, but not of the state,” the expert said.
Stankevich believes that Russia is in a negotiating mood, and that no one will completely reject such a scenario, although their expectations have become even more complicated after the attack on the Kursk region. According to him, it will be possible to talk about it only after the difficult situation in the border region is completely resolved, but in any case, diplomacy will be organized in a non-public way.
Another factor delaying the negotiations is the expected change of the US President. Until this happens, negotiations are unlikely to take place.
“Therefore, November-December is a checkpoint where the readiness of both sides and the international situation will become clear. [диалогу]”, Stankevich concluded.
Let us remind you that Medvedev said: statedHe said Ukraine’s attack on the Kursk region had stalled talks of possible negotiations between Moscow and Kiev and shown that peace could only be achieved with the “complete defeat” of the Ukrainian army.
