Moscow seeks to influence Kyiv through Western officials to negotiate more favorable terms for itself.
Russian authorities are trying to force the West to make concessions and press Ukraine for negotiations. This was announced by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in a report for 27 December.
“The Kremlin will likely continue to focus on its displeasure with the West and ignore Ukraine as a sovereign entity while supporting existing information operations… The Kremlin regularly portrays Ukraine as a pawn of the West, without any actual sovereignty, to deprive Ukrainian officials of the right to participate in direct negotiations in the future and instead presents negotiations with Russia as the responsibility of Western officials.
They stressed that Russian authorities usually emphasize their displeasure with the West over the war in Ukraine, but not with Ukraine itself. In doing so, Moscow seeks to create a dynamic in which Western officials are forced to make preemptive concessions in order to lure it to the negotiating table.
The Kremlin will continue to portray Ukrainian officials as prolonging the war while at the same time reiterating its military goals by trying to influence Western officials to force Ukraine to negotiate more favorable terms. for Russia.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia was ready to negotiate “with all parties involved in the war in Ukraine,” but Kyiv and its Western allies refused.
