Have you ever heard the Russian point of view?
Sun 2:00 pm +00:00, 16 Mar 2025Dmitri Polyanskiy the first deputy to the Russian Ambassador to the UN is a very intelligent diplomat who puts the Russian point of view which is rarely heard in the main media. – on this occasion replying to the proposal for a ceasefire from Trump. What are the details, he asks. There is no trust left with the Ukrainian government.
Trump is talking about negotiations between the US and Russia directly, as if admitting Ukraine is a US proxy war. Alexander Mercouris asks if there is good contact between Russia and the US. It’s important to get the Russian point of view if peace is to come.
The Ukrainians are behaving like German Fascists in Kursk massacring the local population. So Russian soldiers don’t have much motivation to be merciful. The problem is the poor contact with the US. It’s the same team, the same faces – albeit instructed a little differently by Trump.
Dmitri describes the latest UN resolution on Syria, claiming Russia initiated it and US backed it. He advocated more dialogue with US, China but not Europe behaving like children – with no Plan B, other than weakening Russia.
Glen Diesen asks Dmitri how Moscow sees the next phases in achieving peace on Russia’s western borders. Russia he says has very clear reasonable goals. He says in Europe unfortunately russophobia is spreading. Russia is not waiting for someone else to solve the problems. Zelensky wasted 70,000 soldiers in Kursk, who were massacring civilians there. The battlefieldconditions are worsening for Ukraine each month. The course of the war is set. It would be better for Ukraine and the wrst to negotiate now, but the european backers of ukraine have little to offer. Trump wants the war stopped. The longer it takes, the less there will be of Ukraine. The root causes of the war must be addressed.
