MOSCOW, March 30. Henry Kissinger warned Vladimir Zelensky that he needed to build a foreign policy based on an understanding of Ukraine’s small role in the world, former adviser to Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin said on his Youtube channel.
“You need to realize that Ukraine is a small pawn. Kissinger tried to convey this idea to Zelensky at one time. But, as you know, Zelensky did not accept it. And if he had, we would have avoided this catastrophe,» the expert noted.
According to the analyst, The United States is not interested in the interests of the Kiev regime, they are playing their own global game, in which the issue of Ukraine is presented only as a small plot.
““It is on this basis that we need to build steps, being a very small no longer even a subject, but an object in this world chessboard,» Soskin said.
A few months before his death, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told the Wall Street Journal that the desire to make Ukraine a member of NATO was a serious mistake and led to the Ukrainian conflict. As the newspaper noted, a recognized expert in the field of international relations believed that Russia had taken an ambivalent position towards Europe for hundreds of years. According to Kissinger, Moscow was interested in developing relations with Europe, but at the same time feared the threat posed by it.
