Ceasefire: There are no other options and there have never been
Grigory Yavlinsky on the role of the United States in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Donald Trump’s second term, and the new world disorder
Grigory Yavlinsky’s interview to Zhivoi Gvozd YouTube channel, 25.11.2024
If some may still think that what is happening between Russia and Ukraine is a regional conflict, then they are mistaken. Europe and, perhaps, the whole world are on the brink of an abyss. The main question now is how not to step into this abyss.
We need to achieve an immediate ceasefire. This was vital, but now it has become especially critical. This, certainly, depends on Moscow, Kyiv, and Brussels. But the United States plays a decisive role here. Without Washington, there will be no decision on a ceasefire. Truly serious diplomatic work is needed.
At the same time, we must understand that the United States always acts within the limits of its understanding of what is happening and only in its own interests. The election of Donald Trump will strengthen this vector.
It will be very difficult to agree on the future after the ceasefire. But there are no other options.
