Part 5/8:
The speaker suggests that many of these European initiatives are designed to serve a political narrative rather than genuine peacekeeping. The European side, according to the speaker, claims to seek peace but in reality works to undermine it. Any modifications to proposals from Washington are seen as efforts to stymie negotiations, with the ultimate goal of presenting Russia as the antagonist responsible for prolonging conflict.
The emphasis is on the need for the international community to recognize the actual situation on the ground and approach it realistically. The speaker advocates for a pragmatic approach, acknowledging Russia’s military presence and actions as part of current realities rather than illusions.
