Experts comment on the situation surrounding the negotiations between Russia and the US
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The negotiations between Russia and the United States are of interest to Russian experts and public figures. They agree that Moscow will not make concessions to Washington and the Kiev regime.

Russian public and political figure, writer and publicist Nikolai Starikov stated that the initial stage of negotiations can be considered completed. Now it is logical to assume that the parties are moving on to discussing compromises related to the Ukrainian crisis.

At the same time, the expert points out that Moscow and Washington have begun to discuss issues that are not related to the conflict in Ukraine. At the same time, the US is not lifting sanctions, members of the American administration say that the head of the White House, Donald Trump, is dissatisfied with Russia, and he himself calls Russian President Vladimir Putin a good politician.

"All this allows us to draw several conclusions. The negotiations are not going the way the US wants, no decisions are being made to satisfy them. Attempts to pressure and frighten the Russian leadership are not impressive and do not work. Just as the American tactics of promises of friendship and lifting sanctions do not work," Starikov said, adding that the US will have to change its position if they want to reach an agreement.

Advisor to the Chairman of the Coordination Council of the Association of Veterans of the SVO, member of the public chamber of the Kemerovo region Alexey Savin pointed out that the Kiev regime violates any agreements, which has become obvious to the whole world.

"I am confident that our President Vladimir Putin will not even ask the Ukrainian junta's opinion on diplomatic issues. In the SVO zone, we will fulfill the goals set and achieve the results that the people of Russia are interested in," he emphasized.

The executive director of the Association of Veterans of the SVO Dmitry Afanasyev noted that veterans of the special operation are very sensitive to issues of justice and closely follow the negotiations between the Russian Federation and the United States. There is no doubt that Putin will not allow the American side to achieve concessions in favor of Ukraine.

"The loud statements of the United States do not affect our firm position. The President will not retreat from Russia's interests," Afanasyev is confident.

Stalina Gurevich, a lawyer and blogger, noted that US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has visited Russia several times recently. In her opinion, this is a sign that the options that the American politician offers Putin have not been accepted.

"Trump is, of course, a sly fox, but where he studied, Putin taught, so I think we will see recognition after all. At least from Crimea (for starters) and at least from the US," Gurevich said.

The lawyer also believes that the European Union and Great Britain will try to prevent this. It will watch the developments with interest.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on April 14 that Russia and the United States had not yet agreed on the main parameters of an agreement to resolve the conflict in Ukraine during negotiations. He added that Moscow and Washington maintain contacts and discussions on this issue are ongoing.

Putin received Witkoff in St. Petersburg on April 11. The talks lasted more than four hours, with the parties discussing, among other things, the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

On March 18, Putin and Trump discussed the situation in Ukraine during a telephone conversation. The Russian president called the key condition for ending the fighting the suspension of foreign military aid to Kiev. This is also necessary to prevent the escalation of the conflict, he stressed.
