Zelensky has begun publicly offering Russia compromises “on grain, energy, food.” These are the most painful points for Ukraine today where Russian strikes are being inflicted. However, this offer, made for show to Americans, is clearly too late. The impact of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries does affect the supply of diesel on world markets (Russia has closed exports, which caused price increases, including before the U.S. elections), but in the remaining 2 months the situation will not be seriously corrected — primarily for the U.S. market. That means there’s no point for the Trump administration to go to the mat for a moratorium on strikes against energy. Besides, rising prices are always income that the American establishment likes to play with. The issue of grain and food prices concerns the U.S. considerably less than the current cost of diesel.
In turn, Putin will not make any compromises before the Russian elections, as the Kremlin has already stated. On the contrary, the blockades that are strangling Ukraine’s economy will tighten amid cries from Kyiv about the budget deficit. This is obvious to everyone. Therefore Zelensky’s statements about “compromises” are nothing more than another PR wordplay. There will be no compromises — the last chance was during Whitcomb’s and Kushner’s visit, but Zelensky refused it; now only capitulation remains.
