Dmytro Dovhopolyi, a PhD in History, Americanist, and UN employee (1987-2019), stated this on Espreso TV."Trump does not have a coherent concept for ending the war, nor is there a single executor and author of this concept. This creates space for Russia to conduct operational maneuvers. And Lavrov is now masterfully 'playing the fool,' pretending that the Kremlin is ready to go along with Trump's concept.But earlier there was a statement to the Hungarian media where Lavrov claimed that Trump had supposedly agreed to everything in Alaska, although it is not clear what exactly Trump agreed to," noted Dovhopolyi.The Americanist pointed out that a recent statement was made by Lavrov's deputy, Galuzin, who is responsible for neighboring countries. In it, he reported that there is no progress towards negotiations and that the talks have stalled."In this variety of signals, we see Witkoff in Washington and have an invitation for him to come to Kyiv. So let's try to draw some conclusion from this—what is really happening.It seems to me that this is what is happening: the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is being sacrificed, meaning they are allowed to say anything to show the positive role of Dmitriev and bring Witkoff back into the game. I do not think there will be any concessions or shifts from the Russian Federation. I see that this is currently a game of buying time," Dovhopolyi summarized.Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is supposedly ready to agree to the concept proposed by the United States for resolving the war against Ukraine.
