Periskopi(4 years ago)
(4 years ago)Andrey Kortunov is one of the most respected foreign policy analysts and Kremlin adviser. He's not the man who easily forgives the Kremlin, but he's not even the soxel to protect the Kremlin whenever necessary. That's how we're used to seeing it on our news, writes Sky News, translates Periscope. But not [...]
But not today. Not after this invasion.
In an exclusive interview for SkyNews translates Periscope, He relates how he felt when he learned of the Russian attack in Ukraine.
I was shocked because I was thinking a while ago that a military operation would be necessary”.
Kortov says it is vital for Russia to stop this war as soon as possible.
My advice today is to stop the current situation and reach the ceasefire and that should be top priority. We must stop this conflict”
For startup, we should not only have Ukraine at the table but also the West”
Kortunov is on the Kremlin's panel of experts and foreign policy advisers. Consider, then, the advice he writes on the letter to Vladimir Putin.
Why, though, did São take into account the advice on Ukraine?
“I don't understand the actual logic that he (Putin) has”, says this gentleman for Sky News.
I don't understand or see any rational reasons to justify the stock there. It's hard for me to think about what he thought when he made that decision”.
Putin has now narrowed the councilors' circle to a small network of geocratics, or powerful people called generals and spies. Those who think like Kortov, who have contributed to a greater integration of Russia into the outside world and the greater prosperity of the Russian state, have been analyzed.
“We have chosen to believe that the name of all this work should be: development. But I can imagine that some people around Mr. Putin believe that this job is named survival: survival”
What did Mr. Kotrunov say so far? He told him the West would weaken him. If survival is the priority, the tactics they have chosen are highly compromising, writes Sky American, as he speaks to the Russian expert.
Black days for Vladimir Putin's moderate advisers
According to Mr. Kortunov and his couples surrounding Putin, he says they are facing black days.
I'm depressed. I believe many like me are depressed. I think a lot of people in the Kremlin are stressed because the price you're going to pay for this, you know, but also because a lot of people are going to be killed”
You know, it's something we'll never forget, he said. /Sky NEWS/Periscope
