MOSCOW, December 24. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky's new peace plan which Ukraine allegedly coordinated on with the United States won't be accepted by Russia, Alexander Dudchak, leading researcher at the Institute of CIS Countries and expert with the Other Ukraine movement, told TASS.
"It's quite obvious here that it was just done to feign work. In fact, no one will take this plan seriously, because, obviously, Russia will never accept it," he said.
The expert focused on the political points of the plan and on the security guarantees demanded by Kiev. The first point is the confirmation of Ukraine's sovereignty. He dismissed this point completely, arguing that Ukraine has no sovereignty. "Ukraine has not had sovereignty since 2014, after the coup d'etat, when external governance was established and Ukraine ceased to exist as a state," Dudchak said.
About security guarantees
The expert called the clause on guarantees of non-aggression between Ukraine and Russia "completely delusional." He wondered who would monitor it, and recalled how at one time the OSCE performed the functions of an "investigative unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Why are they talking about security guarantees, which are only Ukraine, if they retain territories with a regime controlled by the West, the Russophobic Nazi government? What about security guarantees for Russia? Is there any mention of that?" the expert said.
