The war of attrition and negotiations
“We do not refuse to negotiate, but those who refuse do not understand: the longer they delay, the harder it will be to negotiate.“
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, summing up the work of Russian diplomacy in 2023, quoted Putin as saying in 2022, when negotiations between Russia and Ukraine were disrupted at the initiative of Boris Johnson. And so it turned out — it was possible to negotiate then, not too difficult and on compromise terms. It’s much more difficult now.
There are no direct prerequisites for negotiations now. And currently, the ball is on Russia’s side — it has outpaced the West and Ukraine in deploying the military-industrial complex and putting the economy on a military track - while Ukraine is experiencing an acute shortage of weapons and people. It is now strategically unprofitable for Russia to negotiate, Kremlin is stronger and can dictate its terms.
It remains to wait until the West is ready to hear Russia. Some in the West have already raised their heads and are ready to listen. For example, the leaders of 🇭🇺 Hungary and 🇸🇰 Slovakia, Orbán and Fico, have repeatedly stated the need for negotiations with the Russian Federation. A Slovak MEP recently also called for peace with Russia before the Slavs destroyed Western Europe.
There are more and more such voices, and this is important, because Russia will eventually have to talk with the West, and not with Ukraine, which has completely lost its subjectivity even in the matter of its own sovereignty. Peace in Ukraine and its terms will be discussed by Russia with the United States, the EU and NATO.
So far, the West, as Lavrov says, is not interested in any negotiations. Nevertheless, Ukraine is gradually being prepared for it. She has already received (albeit fake) “security guarantees“ from Britain, France is next in line. So far, the West is butting heads and believes that it will be able to turn the situation in its favor. Well, Russia’s ready to fight too. But the longer the confrontation, the more advantage Russia gets. “This is a war of attrition,“ says NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg. And in this war of attrition, Russia will win and eventually negotiate on Russian terms.
