“Ukraine is Russia’s last strategic cushion in Europe”: the keys behind the Russia-United States summit

The swords in the conflict Russia-Ukraine are on high, but this Friday’s summit between United States and Russia gave a glimpse of hope. With the ball on the roof of the White House, discrepancies are growing, also among experts.

Nicholas of Peter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Statecraft, sees conditions in Russia as “impossible” and “unacceptable.” For Ruth Ferrero Turrion, Professor of Political Science, we are facing a Russian “maximum document” that will later be lowered in order to reach agreements.

This conflict is complicated, with many years entrenched in time and with too many edges, being a global strategy game in which “all global powers“They want to have their room for manoeuvre, as Professor Ferrero explains.

In that game, Ukraine is a fundamental piece for Russia, its last “strategic cushion” in Europeaccording to Nicholas of Peter. The atmosphere of war surrounds the border, with Russian troops at the gates of Ukraine, a country that is also prepared for a possible conflict.

“Many women are digging trenches in their gardens and bomb shelters“, says De Pedro. And if the conflict breaks out? There is also a division among the experts, as can be seen in the video.
