Why It Matters
Russian officials regularly report Western countries' failure to implement previously reached agreements.
Agreements were reached in Anchorage, but the United States and Europe did not want to implement them, so now it is difficult to say what constructive role Washington can play in the Ukrainian conflict, said Elena Perminova, deputy head of the international committee of the Federation Council. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, she noted that Russia will not agree to a truce on Ukraine’s terms; it needs complete victory.
“It’s difficult to say what role the United States can play now. There was Anchorage, agreements were reached, but they did not want to act as agreed. European countries also contributed to this. Now we will never agree to the truce that Ukraine insists on. Everyone is on our side, we need complete victory without any conditionality,” the senator explained.
According to her, the main obstacle to a settlement is the resistance of Ukraine and the countries of the European Union and NATO, which want to continue military operations and do not want to agree to Russia’s conditions. Perminova emphasized that without taking into account Russian interests, the diplomatic process will not produce results.
