Putin's position on security guarantees for Ukraine has changed dramatically

What was Dmitriev talking about?
Source:  Fox News

The Russian dictator's representative, Kirill Dmitriev, made a new, loud statement after talks at the White House. According to him, some security guarantees for Ukraine "may be acceptable."

Points of attention

  • The Kremlin's openness to security guarantees for Kyiv contrasts with previous demands for Ukraine's demilitarization and opposition to European peacekeepers.
  • The recent developments underscore a significant departure from Russia's usual positions on Ukraine, posing new challenges and opportunities for diplomatic relations.

What was Dmitriev talking about?

Dmitriev began to cynically lie that Ukraine had attacked Russian energy facilities.

Despite this, he added that negotiations with Donald Trump's representative had a "positive outcome."

According to him, Putin's team is allegedly currently open to security guarantees for Kyiv.

"Some security guarantees in one form or another may be acceptable," Kirill Dmitriev said, but did not explain what they were.

Against this background, he categorically rejected Ukraine's accession to NATO as "absolutely impossible."

American journalists point out that the new statement by Putin's representative is a departure from the Kremlin's usual position.

The Russian dictator previously claimed that peace would only be possible if Ukraine was "demilitarized," while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow was "categorically" opposed to European troops acting as peacekeepers.

Time will work for Ukraine. Putin may incur Trump's wrath

Putin can outdo himself

The Wall Street Journal points out that US President Donald Trump's plans to end Russia's war against Ukraine as quickly as possible have proven unrealistic. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky's team is now waiting for the White House leader to lose patience with dictator Vladimir Putin's antics.

Points of attention

  • Former US Ambassador Daniel Fried highlights that time will work in Ukraine's favor if Trump persists in seeking a quick deal while Putin remains an obstacle.
  • The outcome of the conflict hinges on Trump's response if he feels deceived by Putin's maneuvers, potentially escalating tensions between the US and Russia.

Putin can outdo himself

As the editorial board notes, Ukraine's main goal at the moment is to exit the war without capitulating to Russia and at the same time without giving up its economic independence to the United States by signing an agreement on subsoil resources.

As for Putin, he has not given up on his plans: the Kremlin wants to dominate Ukraine at all costs and prevent its integration with the West.

Against this background, official Moscow is doing everything possible to drag out negotiations with the US. Recently, Russia has even begun to claim that it will not accept the US proposal for a ceasefire, since, they say, the "root causes" of the war are not being addressed.

The current situation was commented on by former US Ambassador to Poland and Atlantic Council fellow Daniel Fried.

According to the latter, Zelensky's team is currently in a more advantageous position, as it is not dictating conditions to Trump and is simply waiting for the US president to lose patience with Putin's antics.

"Time will work in Ukraine's favor if Trump continues to push for a quick deal, and Putin (Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, — ed.) will be an obstacle. If Trump decides he has been fooled, he may react badly," the diplomat stressed.
