Russian President
Vladimir Putin
signed papers "recognizing the independence" of the
Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions,
although he previously declared the territories to be "joined" by Russia
.
Political expert Mykola Davidyuk believes that Putin
made too loud statements, and now he is trying to rewind everything
, "24 Kanal" writes.
"But Putin bravadoly told everyone that he would annex the territory of Russia.
That is, it is either a bargaining moment, or he has already backed down.
Because it is easy to announce a decision, it is important to keep it.
And he realized that he may not keep
it," Davydyuk said.
The expert suggested that the president of the Russian Federation
is trying to rewind in order to take a certain side that will be more comfortable for him and for which he cannot so quickly "lose his face"
, for which he is so worried.
According to Davidyuk, the change of dates regarding the announcement of the annexation of the occupied territories of Ukraine to Russia
indicates that the Kremlin is in the negotiation process
.
It will be recalled that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a telephone conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, during which
he once again declared his readiness to become a mediator in the negotiations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine
.
