Oleshchuk on politicians' conversations with Putin/Channel 24 collage
European leaders, in particular Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron, often phone Vladimir Putin. however, this only aggravates the situation and leads the head of the Kremlin to the idea that he is doing everything right, he is supported. According to the expert, it is better to ignore Putin altogether in politics.
Political scientist Petr Oleshchuk told Channel 24 about this. He agrees with the assertion that “Scholz and Macron's conversations with the Kremlin leader are paving the way for new violence from Putin.”
Putin must be ignored
According to the political scientist, in order for Russia to begin to think about the real state of affairs, it is necessary that all leaders of countries and representatives of departments, such as the UN, begin to ignore Putin, to do pretend it doesn't exist.
For with these conversations they support this maniacal rule of the dictator. Putin begins to believe that he really is so important, because they call him and want to talk. He thinks: “We need to press a little more, and then I will definitely win,” Oleshchuk explains.
The expert believes that if no one wants to communicate with the head of the Kremlin for a week or a month, then everyone will ignore attempts to establish contact, then Putin may begin to panic.
“Because it will be a real indicator that he is doing something wrong. And so, if he communicates with the leader of any country every day or weeks, then this supports his conviction that he is doing everything right, but you need to press a little” , – he said. .
According to Oleshchuk, such talk does not bring anything good from the point of view of stopping Russian aggression.
But such conversations will continue. There will always be some politician who believes that he will be able to use this for the benefit of his state. And this, in my opinion, is a serious problem,” he assured.
