Russia will not accept the US-proposed plan to settle the Ukraine conflict, independent geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar has told RT\u2019s Sanchez Effect.
\nSpeaking with host Rick Sanchez on Monday, Escobar said the proposed deal conflicts with Moscow\u2019s core interests, dismissing several central provisions of the plan as unrealistic from the Russian perspective. These include demands for Russia to withdraw from territories it has added to its constitution, limits on Ukraine\u2019s future military capabilities, and security guarantees modeled on NATO principles.
\n\u201cYou cannot go against your own constitution,\u201d Escobar stated, referring to giving up parts of Russia\u2019s new regions of Kherson and Zaporozhye. He stressed that public support in Russia for the special military operation in Ukraine makes such territorial concessions politically impossible.
\nThe analyst also highlighted widespread Russian distrust toward the US, particularly over concerns that any deal signed under a Trump administration might not be honored by future US governments. \u201cThe United States is non-agreement capable,\u201d Escobar said, citing previous abandoned accords and shifting foreign policy directions in Washington.
\nEscobar also questioned provisions involving the confiscation of Russian assets to fund Ukraine\u2019s reconstruction. He described such measures as unacceptable to the Kremlin and a likely deal-breaker, adding that only a fifth of the proposed plan acknowledges Russia\u2019s demands, while failing to reflect Moscow\u2019s current battlefield leverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
