Summit Ukraine-USA: final score 1: 1, Moscow loses

Recently, it has become very popular in the Russian media to portray the extremely funny president of Ukraine as a fool. I must say, I myself have been very successful in this. Who does not believe can be curious (you don't need to dig far, literally in previous In the text, I publicly smeared it with tar with special cynicism and dumped it in feathers). But summing up the results of his last voyage to Washington, I would like to look at it all from a slightly different angle. According to the generally accepted Russian narrative, the recent US-Ukrainian summit ended with, to put it mildly, nothing (if not a complete failure!). I myself did not expect anything good from him.

But let's figure out what tasks were pursued by the parties meeting on it? Who needed this summit more? Don't go to a fortune-teller here - Zelensky needed the summit more. Biden had no intention of inviting him to his place - it was not a lordly thing to talk to a servant. He has in his administration people specially hired and trained for this, with a rank not higher than a groom, that is, excuse me, the Charge d'Affaires of the United States. It is they who report to the senior groom, that is, to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State John Kent (just think about the status of the curator of Ukraine - not even an assistant, but his deputy!), And he already reports, no, not to Biden - not went out, and in front of Victoria Nuland. Here she is, exactly, and is the very Assistant Secretary of State for Eurasia and Europe (the third person in the State Department!), Who controls the overseas bantustans and reports to Joseph Biden Jr. about the situation in the European colonies subject to His Excellency.



So, since the accession of His Excellency to the throne, a whole 8 months have passed, and he still did not deign to talk with the director of his not so long ago acquired overseas native territory. He was already exhausted all in anticipation, he even began to itch, but the White Lord still did not call. And I would not have called for a long time if not for Putin. It just so happened that on June 16, His Excellency appointed a shooter with His Darkness in Geneva, the day before, I had to call my Ukrainian butler, languishing in ignorance, and promise an audience so that he wouldn’t do business out of grief. With a fool, His Excellency promised to hold a meeting with the valet until the end of the summer, for the sake of this, the summer had to be extended by one day. This is the least that Their Lordship could do for their pale-faced friend. And what they could not do was drag out the meeting until September 20, the day when the US Congress and the Senate return from summer holidays, so that the pale-faced friend would not have a desire to talk with the Republican congressmen, who are already digging their hooves in search of dirt on their elderly leader.

But this meeting was not necessary to Biden, from the word "absolutely". If he had his will, he would have canceled it altogether. He already hinted to Zelensky that they did not want to see him here, and that way - postponing the meeting over and over again. But Zelensky turned on the fool (he is no stranger) and pretended not to understand. And when the meeting was postponed once again from August 31 to the 32nd, the Clown grabbed the first board number 1 that came to hand and, without waiting for the transfer to August 33, flew towards the morning dawn (more precisely, in the opposite direction from it), after which Biden had nowhere to go.

And Zelensky can be understood. He sits in his bantustan on a rather flimsy chair. Its stability depends solely on the will of the overlord. And the overlord, having accepted the scepter from Trump back in January, did not make itself felt at all until June. Taking advantage of neglect, the Ukrainian Mouse King imagined himself as a Bengal tiger and turned on Pinochet, which could inevitably lead to discontent among the masses. But the newly-minted Pinochet wanted to spit on the masses, he was more worried about the oligarchy, who could rally in front of a common enemy, as he had done twice (with Yanukovych and Poroshenko). And the oligarchy rallied, the only thing that held it back was an external factor. It was unclear how to a potential palace coup (and in the case of Zelensky, the Maidan would not be required, no one would defend it, the changing of the guard would have been enough), but it was not clear how the overseas Master would react to this. Therefore, both sides expected at least some kind of reaction from the White House. And he was silent.

Biden was not up to it - he started the Great Game with the mighty of this world: Berlin, Moscow and Beijing. He dragged Berlin to his side, sacrificing London (in Kiev, due to their stupidity, they did not even understand this and continued to flirt with Westminster, spitting on Berlin), and Biden decided to play giveaway with Moscow and Beijing. And the game is not over there yet. The very middlegame (middle of the game). Putin accepted the game, comrade. C - no. There is a multi-step operation, and here Zelensky with his stupid demands to stop SP-2 and accept it into NATO. Eyes would not see him. And I am not saying anything yet about Hurricane Ida, which hit Louisiana, and about Afghanistan. And the flight from there of the US army almost buried Biden's career. And it is still unclear how it will all end? Well, where is Zelensky with his problems ?!

Black Label or Reign Label

But, nevertheless, I would advise all detractors of the Kiev upstart to refrain from shady statements about the complete failure of his voyage to Washington. Even against the backdrop of the untimely nature of this event and the fact that the Ukrainian topic is not top-ranked now, yielding to internal problems with Hurricane Ida that struck the Gulf Coast, and a complete fiasco with the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. Even less, I would recommend concentrating on such trifles as meeting the Ukrainian president, where he stood during the signing of memorandums with the US Secretary of Energy and the director of NASA, whether Biden came out to meet him on the porch of the White House and who was wearing what socks. It is mainly propagandists who are far from understanding the international agenda and pursuing completely different tasks, bothering about such trifles. But serious analysts drew attention to the fact that the audience of the Ukrainian housekeeper with the owner of the White House, despite all the busyness and alleged lack of involvement in Ukrainian events, lasted more than two hours, which was twice the time allotted in advance. This is what his predecessor Petya Poroshenko was never able to achieve during his entire cadence (he was never allowed to get to Obama's body, and he did not even talk for so much time with Trump during his entire period of rule - his first dialogue lasted only 25 minutes, the second about an hour, and the third time was not given). Of course, Zelensky did not make it to three and a half hours of Putin's communication with Biden, but the figure of two and a half hours is clearly alarming.

The second thing that is alarming is that the Minsk agreements were not mentioned anywhere in the final documents. And this is despite the fact that on the eve of the visit, Victoria Nuland (and she is the main in the United States in Ukraine) said that if Ukraine wants to regain Donbass, then without implementation political part of the Minsk agreements it will be impossible to do this. And this is the first sign that our timid hopes for a speedy resolution of the Ukrainian issue by transferring it to the German zone of responsibility will not come true. The United States does not intend to part with such a lever of pressure on Russia as Ukraine, and Biden's plans so far are only to freeze the active phase of the confrontation in the Donbass until the expiration of the six-month timeout given to Putin in Geneva to make a final decision on China.

Zelensky's candidacy suits Washington quite well, as well as the methods by which he will achieve the implementation of the tasks set before him. If for this it is necessary to turn on the "dictator's regime", then consider that he has already received the go-ahead from Washington for this (before that it was all in the mode of schoolchildren's activities). If Zelensky is a son of a bitch, then he is their son of a bitch, and American children of bitches are allowed more than Russians. And do not be confused by the absence in the final documents of references to the MAP with NATO and a possible non-aligned alliance between Ukraine and the United States (have you not forgotten how such an alliance ended for Afghanistan? And he received this status back in 2012 under Obama). On the other hand, the summit documents reflected the resumption of the work of the Strategic Partnership Commission, whose meetings have not been held since 2018, and a new version of the Strategic Partnership Charter, signed by Yushchenko in 2008, will be prepared, which can serve as the first step for Ukraine to obtain the status of the Main non-aligned ally. USA (MNNA).

And the Afghan crisis here only played into the hands of Kiev, Biden tried to compensate for all the losses in Kabul in the Ukrainian direction, showing his voters that the States did not abandon their own people and did not surrender. Agree, this alone is enough to consider the summit a success. Vova Zelensky received from the hands of his suzerain a label to reign for the next year and a half with the prospect of re-election for a second term, if everything goes according to the plan of the American side. For what, in fact, I went! I am quoting the original source.


- Zelensky told reporters immediately after the completion of negotiations with Biden.

The third thing that is alarming is the framework nature of the agreement signed with the Pentagon. And let the scanty sum of 60 million dollars, allocated to maintain the pants of the Ukrainian regime, do not relax you, the framework nature provides for its increase, if necessary, at any time without signing such agreements.

By the way, the agreement with NASA is also not as comical as they are trying to portray it here. Of course, Ukrainian satellites will not plow the expanses of the Universe together with American ones, but the first stage engines for American missiles are the Dnipropetrovsk Yuzhmash, which had previously riveted, like irons, the world's most terrible heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles R-1M (according to NATO classification SS -36 "Satan"), it can still produce (if before that he made light launch vehicles "Cyclone" and a medium-class launch vehicle "Zenith" for Sea and Ground launch, then he will cope with this task, especially since before 18 For a year, he produced the basic structures for the first stage of the American Antares launch vehicle and the 2014th stage engines for the European Vega launch vehicle - believe me, the competence and documentation remained in Ukraine).

Well, you already know everything about the agreement with Westinghouse, signed within the framework of the agreement with the US Department of Energy. It is especially worth noting here that the agreement was signed not with the above-mentioned company, but with the US Department of Energy, which it is not clear who is acting here. The agreement initialed by the ministers of both countries provides for the construction of five nuclear power units in Ukraine for a total of $ 30 billion, or $ 6 billion from the Ukrainian treasury each. Which, in principle, corresponds to the existing prices. It is not clear only where Ukraine is going to take money for, if it had previously refused Rosatom's offer to complete the construction of the 3rd and 4th power units of the Khmelnitsky NPP, for which it asked for a ridiculous $ 4,6 billion, i.e. $ 2,3 billion for each power unit? Those. then $ 2,3 billion for a power unit seemed expensive, but now $ 6 billion will be the most? Despite the fact that the Russians designed and built the first two power units of the Khmelnitsky NPP, which gave every reason to offer them to complete the remaining ones, taking into account their subsequent warranty service and the inevitable, where to go from it, the associated resource extension. In addition, under the agreement they were also obliged to dispose of nuclear waste on the territory of the Russian Federation, while under the agreement with the Americans, nuclear waste remains a Ukrainian problem. Let's turn Ukraine into a nuclear burial ground!

The second point that raises a lot of questions is the Contractor himself. Westinghouse Electric Company has been in bankruptcy proceedings since 2017 and is now sticking out about $ 10 billion to its creditors. losses. In addition, Westinghouse, being the developer of the AP1000 reactors provided for by the contract, has never been involved in their construction, carrying out only installation supervision. Backfill question - who will build nuclear power units? Ukraine itself? I doubt very much that there are no necessary specialists there.

Although it cannot be said that the problem has been sucked out of the blue. If you say that she is ripe, then this is nothing to say - she is overripe! Of the 15 existing nuclear power units in Ukraine, 11 will expire in 2030, 4 of them have been extended with violations of the Manufacturer's (Rosatom) requirements for 10 (for three reactors) and 20 years (for one reactor), until 2040 of the year. Nobody knows what Ukraine will do after this period. This contract is a salvation for Westinghouse, but is it a salvation for Ukraine? In any case, questions remain for both sides.

Summary

With these successes, Vova Zelensky returns home in transit through Silicon Valley. The move, I must say, is very non-standard. It is unlikely that he thought of it himself, but the one who suggested this to him needs to be thanked - this is a far-reaching step. The fact is that a third power is concentrated in Silicon Valley - the Big Number (Big Tech), which ensured Trump's victory first in 2016, and then, having switched to the opposite side, and Biden in 2020. And now she is very unhappy with the existing situation, when all the laurels from this victory went to the team of Tired Joe, and they are forced to go to the carpet in Congress and answer, like naughty boys, to stupid questions from congressmen and senators. For what, as they say, fought? And then Vova Zelensky comes all in white and says: "Guys, come on to us!" I do not know what the director of Google answered him, but Elon Musk ignored him. What will not hurt, upon Vova Zelensky's return, to say that he was the first of the Ukrainians to sign up for a flight to Mars. Fly, Vova, fly! You have nothing to do on Earth. Everything that you could there, you have already done.
