Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Sunday 15 January. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Expert: Ukrainian government is losing opportunities to establish relationships with the environment Trump

Expert: Ukrainian government is losing opportunities to establish relationships with the environment Trump

"Given the failure of official Kyiv elections in the US, now is the time for using informal diplomacy to level the situation"

According to political analyst Yuri Romanenko Ukraine officials and politicians should not ignore the near future "Ukrainian Breakfast" in Davos, and try using the event to fix relations with the new US administration. He wrote on his page on Facebook .

" On Friday, Viktor Pinchuk wrote a new article , which poured oil on the fire merciless Ukrainian srachu about what Ukraine needs to do on the eve of a big deal between Trump and Putin. The second text Pinchuk many perceived as an attempt to smooth over the situation after the first article in the WSJ, through which he Pinchuk got a lot of public criticism and complaints. Also, there is another interesting trend - many in Ukraine calls for boycott almost Ukrainian lunch in Davos Pinchuk Foundation to Pinchuk know how to write "unpatriotic texts." However, I am confident that our spirited patriotic public underestimates the complexity of the situation in which Ukraine finds itself. Personally, I absolutely do not rule out that Article Pinchuk could be a trial balloon by the new administration in Washington. Or, expressed her ideas by some coincidence, well, not too contrasting with the position of the new American government, "- said Romanenko. According to Romanenko, the strategy of Ukraine 'do nothing until the situation resolved itself "completely exhausted itself, as external conditions change.

"The reality is that while we are very dependent on external factors, until then we must consider the impact and effects of these factors on the domestic situation. And foolish to ignore the opportunities that enable us to be in the game that convey our position to the world's players. For example, as far as I know, in Davos Ukrainian lunch Pinchuk will be attended by former Prime Minister David Cameron, Henry Kissinger and Robert Michael Gates. He - Bob Gates (former Minister of Defense and former head of the CIA - Ed.) . So, it is suggested that Trump Gates Rex Tillerson to head the State Department. In fact, the candidate Rex Tillerson at the head of the US State Department there are three very important figure in the Republican camp - Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and Bob Gates, "- said the analyst.

Romanenko said that while the Ukrainian political elite is in suspense, waiting Tillerson go down in a chair head of State, refuse to go to Davos to "Ukrainian Lunch" just because a site Pinchuk is nonsense.

According to experts, given the failure of the position of official Kyiv in the presidential election in the US, now is the time to using informal diplomacy to try to equalize the situation while there is still room for maneuver.

"Instead, our officials are considering to Davos not to go, because it is unclear how it will be perceived over. Does the eve of the "new Munich" best form of protection - push the head in the sand like an ostrich, hoping that "suddenly blow"? No, guys, do not blow over. I have no doubt that the relationship between Trump and Putin over time uskladnyatsya, but so far they will "honeymoon" very important for us not to happen next Ukrainian troubles when we "raspishut" just because we are afraid to sit in one chair of crocodiles, but commend themselves for their good will. Miracles will be guys until we will make Herculean efforts not throw bad head first with infantilism not build a strong economy, and with it a strong army and navy to depend less on the will of the powerful. But until that happens, we have to maneuver in search of a place in the sun "- concluded Yuri Romanenko.
