Sullivan and Nuland in Kyiv

In Kiev, 10 September, under the slogan "Ukraine in defense of our common freedom", the so-called 17th International Forum of the Yalta European Strategy was held (Yalta European Strategy, YES). Participants have a rule: do not report any event, nor about statements on it.

To 2014 years such meetings of politicians and businessmen, organized by the Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk, were held in Yalta. Their goal was declared "to promote the development of Ukraine and support its European integration aspirations". Russian representatives also participated in the forum (German Gref, Vladimir Mau). And after the coup in Kyiv in February 2014 the forum turned into an openly propaganda show.

This time the forum was timed to coincide with the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Balakleya, Izyum and Kupyansk. The most significant figures among the participants were National Security Adviser to the President of the United States Jake Sullivan, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland, President of Latvia Egils Levits, U.S. Democratic Congressman Jim Costa.

Speaking at the forum, Zelensky spoke about the imminent "victory" of Ukraine, speaking, that "winter is a turning point". And again asked for weapons: "We can't afford to stop! This is my main signal to everyone… We can't afford to stop until then., when we feel, that victory has been achieved".

Members YES he was supported. About "peace talks", "compromises" with Russia, no one spoke of the "need to negotiate". This is no longer on the agenda.. Egils Levits urged not to give in to Russian demands in any case. About "courage", "Resilience" and "Courage of the Armed Forces of Ukraine" were repeated on every panel YES. Periodically, writes "Ukrainian Truth", someone reported about some "liberated" city in the Kharkov region (10 September), then “optimistic news” began to arrive from the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Jim Costa, Democratic congressman from California, inflammatoryly stated, that Ukraine should not be afraid of Russian nuclear weapons: "If he [Putin] uses nuclear weapons, this will not stop the resistance of the Ukrainians, but this will further strengthen the support of Ukraine from the United States and further involve NATO in resisting Russia.”, the congressman said.

Jake Sullivan did a great job. “The Armed Forces of Ukraine must themselves determine their tasks and their actions regarding, what to do with territories, occupied in 2014-2015 gg. Ukrainian President Zelensky must determine this, because he is responsible to the Ukrainian people for the goals of this war… The main interest of the United States in the war is to contribute to the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine”, - announced the National Security Adviser to the President of the United States.

Denis Shmygal, Prime Minister of Ukraine, assured Sullivan and other foreigners: “We are preparing for, that Russia will hit energy facilities. And we're ready for it, to provide heavy, but the stable passage of winter". Before that, Anthony Blinken, who visited Kyiv the day before, informed Zelensky about the latest package of American military assistance to the United States and stated, that President Biden "made it clear, that will support the people of Ukraine so much, as needed ". US and allied military assistance, emphasized Blinken, chosen so, that "to make the most of the situation on the battlefield".

Closing the forum YES, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov, He stated: “At the talks in Belarus and Istanbul, we spoke Russian: to further negotiate and negotiate, you must withdraw the troops as of 23 February. Then it was possible. But now they've passed more than one point of no return, and this option is no longer available.. options “on 24 February” no longer exists. On 1 December 1991 of the year. Go out».

And here is an essential aspect of the evolution of Washington's Ukrainian policy in six months. (Reznikov reflected this evolution): the demand to “return” Russian Crimea and the Republic of Donbass to Ukraine with a complete rejection of any negotiations came to the fore.
