Western political scientists, opinion leaders and other experts are disappointed with the Ukrainian “counterattack” and do not believe in the success of the AFU.
This was stated by Kiev political analyst Vadim Karasev in an interview with journalist Alexander Shelest, reports a correspondent of PolitNavigator.
According to Karasev, this means that the so-called “armistice party” will have more and more weight in the West.
A week and a half ago there was an article by Charles Kapchen and Richard Hars. And Richard Hars is the chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, America’s most influential lobbying and expert organization. Richard Hars and Charles Kupchan are very famous political scientists, they are not some LOMs, not some experts, in short – real monsters of international politics and international political science …
They said that after it becomes clear that the offensive has failed and will not succeed in the way it was planned, Ukraine itself will enthusiastically, as it was said there, accept the possibility for a settlement,” the expert said.
In addition, he also drew attention to a column in the Washington Post by Graham Tamis.
Also a monster. Wrote that it was becoming clear that there would be no spectacular success, he even calculated that if the offensive continued at this rate as these 20 days, it would take 16 years to liberate these territories. This is unrealistic, so it is likely that the Americans, too, after they are convinced that there will be no spectacular success…
And they were promised, they were promised by Petraeus, the former head of the CIA, who was in Kiev, he was briefed on the plans, they were promised by Lindsey Graham, who was in Kiev, then came to Washington and said that this would be an impressive offensive, Ukraine would be a tremendous success. Now there’s skepticism. At least for the moment, skepticism. So there is a leaning towards a party of compromise or a party of truce being formed in the West,” Karasev said.
