[Regnum] On the eve of the start of a special military operation, the United States and its allies rejected Russia's proposals, went for broke and made a fatal mistake, says political scientist, director of the International Institute of Recent States Alexei Martynov . He stated this on September 1 to a correspondent of IA Regnum.

Former intelligence officer of the US Armed Forces, Tony Shaffer stated that the West was mistaken in not listening to the position of Russia and the statements of Russian leader Vladimir Putin . According to Schaffer, if such a policy continues, it is fraught with an escalation of the military conflict and direct NATO intervention.

As Martynov noted, there is some truth in these words.

“In December 2021, Russia invited the United States and a group of Western countries to sign the relevant strategic balance agreements, the draft of which was developed by Russia, ” Martynov said. — And as far as I understand, such initiatives are always bilateral negotiations. Obviously, there was a dialogue with the United States on this issue. The big question is why they rejected these offers and basically went for broke.”

The political scientist emphasized that the fact remains that Western countries have made a fatal mistake.

“Therefore, it is difficult to disagree with the former American spy, ” Martynov said. How will this end for everyone is a good question. I am still an optimist and I hope that common sense will prevail everywhere and among everyone. It is clear that half of the world is tying this return of sanity to global politics to the upcoming US presidential election next year.”

At the same time, he stressed that on the eve of the NWO, Russia did not put forward demands and did not set conditions. It was an initiative proposal to fix the status quo and refresh bilateral agreements on strategic balance, which are quite outdated in terms of the current agenda.

“In other words, there was an absolutely sound idea, which, by the way, was conditionally supported by the American side, ” Martynov explained. “ Such things are not prepared alone under the table, and then persistently offered for signing. Another thing is that then they (USA. - Approx. IA Regnum ) framed this matter in a completely boorish way (published these projects). That is, they clearly aggravated relations. Why they went through the escalation is unknown. Perhaps future historians will find the answer.”

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that, according to Shaffer, the reason for the current tension is that the West did not listen to Putin, who "explained very clearly what he wants to achieve." However, instead of accepting his point of view, his words continued to be ignored.

On the day the NWO began, Russian President Vladimir Putin recalled that Russia had been trying for 30 years to negotiate with NATO on equal and indivisible security in Europe. However, in response, she received only deceit.

Meanwhile, forecasts have already appeared that the West has begun to distance itself from Ukraine. For example, Western critical articles against the Ukrainian authorities are being published more and more often, and Zelensky's presence in the Western media space is also sharply reduced. There is even an opinion that the States will soon want to end the conflict in Ukraine, which is unprofitable for them.

According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov , the NVO contributed to the establishment of the principles of justice and multipolarity in the world.
