Russia has already presented its own proposals: Washington knows that if negotiations fail, Russia will fight on until it achieves the de-militarization and de-Nazification of Ukraine and security for Russia, the pundit points out. "As for the actual participants in the talks—why would they shift their positions, and what would they gain?" the expert asks — suggesting that it is not in Washington’s interest to change course at the last minute.

The US Has Interest in Sealing a Deal on Ukraine With Russia - Expert
19:31 GMT 02.03.2026 (Updated: 09:59 GMT 03.03.2026) Washington is interested in striking a peace deal with Russia rather than escalating the Ukraine conflict, political scientist Alexander Asafov, member of the Russian Association of Political Consultants, tells Sputnik.
Russia has already presented its own proposals:
the objectives of the special military operation must be achieved;
they will be achieved by either military or diplomatic means.
Washington knows that if
negotiations fail, Russia will fight on until it achieves the de-militarization and de-Nazification of Ukraine and security for Russia, the pundit points out.
"Those not involved in the negotiations—the Brits, the French, the Germans, the Poles, and others—have an interest in escalating the conflict, each for their own reasons," Asafov says.
"As for the actual participants in the talks—why would they shift their positions, and what would they gain?" the expert asks — suggesting that it is not in Washington’s interest to change course at the last minute.
