America has not accepted Russian demands to limit the expansion of NATO to the east and is proposing negotiations on the deployment of short- and medium-range missiles. Russia is not satisfied with that answer. Tensions between Russia and the West are not abating, and the expected next moves of both sides speak in favor of deepening the crisis.
The West is bidding whether Russia will attack Ukraine for Catholic or Orthodox Christmas, for the New Year, during the Winter Olympics in China, or wait for the Chinese New Year. In the general commotion, no one listens to what the President of Russia is actually saying
The Memorial organization, whose goal was the study of political repression in the USSR, and whose first honorary president was academician Andrei Sakharov, was accused of "rehabilitating Nazi criminals whose hands are the blood of Soviet citizens." Critics say it's an 'attempt to rob the nation of its memory'
With a little good wishes and a little more threats, on December 30, Joseph Biden and Vladimir Putin again discussed the de-escalation of strained relations between the US and Russia. In January, there will be a series of meetings at a lower level on the same topic
Vladimir Putin told Joseph Biden that Russia "has nowhere else to retreat", that it "cannot tolerate" that missiles are placed in Ukraine that can detonate in Moscow in ten minutes, and that Russia will respond to all "hostile" moves. adequately" to answer. If there really is a military intervention of Russia in Donbass, the question of interpretation will be whether it "attacked" Ukraine, or "defends the Russian population from aggression." Behind the clanking of arms on the issue of Ukraine, however, there is something else that is subject to negotiations
Moscow demands that NATO give up "pushing" the Balkan countries and Ukraine into the alliance, stop grouping troops on Russia's borders, and reduce its presence in the Black Sea and the airspace of the Baltic countries. Russia criticizes NATO's policy in the countries of the Western Balkans, such as supporting the establishment of the "Kosovo Army", and assures that such military preparations by NATO "cannot remain without an adequate Russian response".
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he will not stand idly by if NATO expands to the east and/or Ukraine attacks Donbas. US President Joseph Biden, who opened two fronts, in Eastern Europe and in the Pacific, confirmed the aid to Ukraine, but also indirectly said that America will not go to war because of it.
"We were already in negotiations with the "Meyerholjd" center, but they were stopped immediately after the arrest of Kirill Srebrenikov. Nobody told them that they couldn't invite us, they just decided that inviting Marina would be very dangerous."
