The Kremlin's hopes on September 8 received a powerful rebuff.
Russian political scientist Andrei Piontkovsky noted that Biden gathered the leaders of all European countries, sent his secretary to Kyiv, and the defence minister to Ramstein - this is the answer of the West: No truce, Putin must lose the war
This is stated on the air of the Espresso news publisher.
“Putin and his inner circle hoped for mediators, and now he continues to hope to come to peace, despite all the rhetoric about the destruction of the Ukrainian state. On the one hand, he speaks in various forums with his crazy speeches, and in the meantime, all his diplomacy is working to achieve a ceasefire and a truce. First, Draghi, Macron and Scholz were sent to Kyiv, and Kyiv sent them with this project to a well-known address, like a Russian ship, then they hired Erdogan and paid him a huge price, giving him complete freedom in the South Caucasus, Syria and Libya, once again completely selling their ally, Armenia,” the political scientist noted.
Andrei Piontkovsky noticed the shameful behaviour of the leader of Armenia Pashinyan because Putin betrays him and the Armenian people over and over again, and he runs around different forums after Putin, licking his ***. But let the Armenian people sort it out.
“Russia hoped until the last moment that it would be possible to come to an agreement and then present it to the people as some kind of fake victory. Indeed, if hostilities stop along the frontline, they will say that we have already recaptured not only Crimea but also part of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, saving our compatriots. They hoped that the truce would cause mass calls from all Putin's agents in Europe and the United States, that they would give peace a chance and let's urgently stop the supply of weapons to Ukraine. You have seen with your own eyes the demonstrations in Europe.
However, on September 8, all these hopes received a powerful rebuff. Biden simply gathered the leaders of all European countries, sent his secretary to Kyiv to express his support, and the Defence Minister to Ramstein to announce a fundamentally new aid package. And this is the answer of the West: No truce, Putin must lose the war,” Piontkovsky stressed.
