Diplomat Volodymyr Omelian said this on Espreso TV."Now a very complex geopolitical game is underway. We see a gradual rapprochement of positions between the U.S. and China; at the very least, they have taken a year-long timeout, returning to previous positions to develop some concepts. Trump is already entering the strategy for next year's congressional elections. It is important for him to make some significant changes on the Ukrainian issue before these elections, to sell it to his voters that he stopped the war or defeated Russia. God saved us through Putin's stubbornness, that Yalta-2 did not happen in Alaska, because Trump was ready for it and we could have been forced to accept Russian terms – but Putin wanted all of Ukraine and absolutely different negotiations with the West. This was unacceptable for Trump," the diplomat commented.According to him, the 'war party' has taken the lead in Trump's inner circle, and it will severely tighten the screws on Russia. Although Russian propagandist Dmitriev said that American sanctions would hit the U.S. itself, and Russia is not threatened by anything, we will see the results in six months. The U.S. knows what it is doing. "Moreover, if we have an enhanced military component, because there are serious questions about funding and the weapons themselves – we have pretty good chances to stop Russia, despite the critical situation we are currently seeing in certain areas of the front. The Russian army is not achieving the results it needs, which is also a kind of crisis. Regarding the mobilization that Putin might announce, by the way, I don't believe there will be any protests in Russia about this – Russians will go to fight and loot. As Putin says, war is in Russia's genes. If they don't make progress, suffer defeats on the front, and the economic crisis in the Russian Federation deepens, then this will be a serious challenge for the Kremlin. I think this is what the Americans are betting on," Omelian summarized.On October 30, U.S. leader Donald Trump instructed the U.S. Department of War to immediately begin nuclear weapons tests 'on equal terms' with Russia and China. At the same time, the Kremlin hopes that 'the data on the Burevestnik tests were correctly conveyed to Trump'."
