Reconciliation between Russia and Ukraine last spring did not take place not because Boris Johnson specifically interfered, but because the West needs this conflict, said philosopher, analyst, and leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan on the air of the Conversation with a Sage program on Radio Zvezda on December 01.
On November 25, David Arahamiya, head of the Ukrainian faction of the Servant of the People party and a member of Ukraine’s National Security, Defense and Intelligence Committee, said that military operations in Ukraine could have ended last spring, but former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson discouraged Kiev from signing any peace agreements with Russia.
Sergey Kurginyan emphasized that neither in the West nor at the top of the Ukrainian government wanted a truce with Russia.
“It was not Boris Johnson who operated there, but Richard Moore – the head of MI-6, and the truly ruling class of the West behind his back. <…> And secondly, it was not about specific personalities, but about who was interested in what. Was it interesting to stop it or, on the contrary, was it interesting to sway it. Why would Zelensky and his company then stop anything when the whole world was on their side: there was such an excitement. And, finally, some former showman who was almost quitting, who had become president by accident, was turning into a major figure, everyone applauded him, and so on. No one wanted to halt it,” the political scientist explained.
He noted that, in addition, the West had a feeling that a quick victory over Russia in the conflict in Ukraine was possible.
“Quite unpleasant events occurred near Kharkov, and it seemed to those [the West] that they would now cope by little blood and we [Russia] would be kicked out of everywhere. Then it turned out that Russia is Russia, and that no matter what occasional excesses occur there, sooner or later, under conditions of sufficient persistence of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the military machine rocked and entered a normal state,” Kurginyan noted.
The analyst added that despite the fact that the condition of the Russian armed forces cannot be considered flawless, the West failed to achieve a quick victory.
“Any war is a complex project, within which there are a lot of mistakes: there is slowness in rocking the military-industrial complex, there is uncertainty in the work of the media and much more. But more or less it all got on track,” he said.
