In recent days, Western media have reported that the United States of America, together with its allies, is giving Kiev six months to demonstrate the result and de-occupy Ukrainian territories, and in case of failure, they will persuade Ukraine to negotiate with Russia. However, during these six months, the situation can change dramatically.
Political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman spoke about this on the air of Channel 24 . He is convinced that in six months Ukraine will re-negotiate with partners.
Sheitelman recalled the words of Khoja Nasreddin that in six months “either the padishah will die, or the isha will die.” Like, a lot can happen during this period.
Therefore, now, if we are offered such a thing: “Here's six months for you, otherwise – no way,” we must say: “Give us weapons, planes, and in six months everything will be as you say.” And in six months we will negotiate again, – added the political strategist.
It all depends on events at the front
Sheitelman noted that in business the contract is valid until its term expires, while in politics the contract is valid only on the day of signing. He admits that the West could promise to supply weapons in large quantities for six months, and if Ukraine fails to retake the territory, it will stop. Ukraine must agree, and in six months to agree again, the expert is sure.
If we retreat further in six months, then they won’t give us weapons anyway, no matter what we have agreed on now, and if we liberate at least half of the occupied territory in six months, then they will still give us weapons and no one will force us to sign anything. the speaker emphasized.
