The US line, from the very beginning and continuing to this day, is to inflict maximum damage on Russia and, if possible, achieve so-called strategic defeat, thereby removing it from the major geopolitical game. Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that no agreements were reached at the Russia-US summit in Alaska regarding the settlement of the Ukraine conflict.
Consensus
- The United States is not genuinely committed to mediating the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
- Russia believes the U.S. is pursuing strategies to weaken Russia rather than seeking a peaceful resolution.
- U.S. officials have made statements about focusing on Ukraine, but Russia disputes the sincerity of this shift.
- The U.S. has not returned to the principles agreed upon in Anchorage.
Points of divergence
- The U.S. strategy is to remove Russia from the global geopolitical game, with China being the distant target and Russia the immediate one. — vesti
- The U.S. cannot be both a mediator and a participant in the conflict, and Moscow is skeptical of American intentions. — kommersant
- Russia sees no real shift in U.S. policy toward Ukraine and believes the U.S. is moving closer to anti-Russian European allies. — vedomosti
- Russia believes the U.S. may change its approach to Ukraine, similar to the post-Anchorage understanding, and that the U.S. still values dialogue. — m24
