Interview with the director of the Ukrainian Institute of Politics Ruslan Bortnik for the Croatian publication "Vesti" - https://www.jutarnji.hr/vijesti?cx_linkref=jl_menu_vijesti
As preparations for the resumption of peace talks initiated by the elected US president begin, Ukraine is entering a new phase of political and social transformation. This process is driven by the increasingly complex situation at the front, declining support for the Ukrainian government from Western allies seeking to coordinate their actions with the new US administration, and Ukrainian society tired of the protracted conflict.
Sredinom idućeg tjedna bit će točno tisuću dana otkako je Rusija napala Ukrajinu, 24. veljače 2022. Ukrajina nije pala, ali rat još bjesni, međutim, jasno je da će u nekom trenutku započeti pregovori jer Rusi nisu sposobni slomiti branu, a Ukrajinci nemaju snage otjerati okupatore. Kakva je situacija u Ukrajini, za Magazin je temeljito opisao jedan od tamošnjih vodećih politologa, Ruslan Bortnik, direktor Ukrajinskog instituta za politiku.
Kako biste opisali situaciju u Ukrajini? Jesu li ljudi stvarno umorni od rata, kako pišu mediji?
1. After 1000 days of war, neither side—neither the Russian Federation nor Ukraine and its coalition of allies—has achieved its key objectives in this conflict. Russia has failed to overthrow the Ukrainian government, establish a loyal political regime in Ukraine, annex the so-called "Novorossiya" in its historical boundaries, or dismantle the U.S.-led unipolar world. The U.S. and its partners have not sufficiently weakened Russia or achieved its destabilization and restructuring.
The Ukrainian-Chinese relationship was first established more than a hundred years ago and has undergone significant evolution from socio-political interaction to stable trade and economic cooperation in the modern world. It has seen rises and falls, declines and revivals, but it has never disappeared entirely.
Евентуални "кризисни избори" в Украйна ще бъдат екстремен начин за избягване на бедствие, нещо като изпускане на парата. Но ако не се проведат догодина, тогава властта ще се смени без избори, коментира политологът
