For more than three weeks there has been a war between the Russians and the Ukrainians, during which the Russian army has invaded many areas of Ukraine. About two million refugees have already crossed the border and hundreds have been killed by the country’s heavy bombings. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is trying to help mediate between the leaders of the two countries and these days it seems that negotiations are underway to end the war. In a conversation with Prof. Aryeh Eldad, Roni Bar-On and Lior Schlein, in their program on 103FM, the commentator and journalist on Russian affairs, Yair NavotIs a ceasefire coming soon? Next, he tried to answer the question, whether this is related to Prime Minister Bennett.
In his opening remarks, he said: “There are a number of factors involved in the negotiations, but Prime Minister Bennett is one of the most involved factors – probably, more than we think. There are reports that the agreement is close between the parties, but as with any negotiation there is a lot of misinformation so we have to wait and see. Swallow, because we are talking about a situation in which we promise to impose restrictions on the Ukrainian army. “
When asked about Russia’s situation and the situation of President Vladimir Putin, Navot replied that “it is interesting to see what is happening in Russia – from economic destruction and severe damage to local currency to rising prices of basic products. It is true that it has deteriorated greatly, but we have not yet reached the point where millions of people have taken to the streets. “
He added: “Putin is certainly frustrated by the situation and angry with Russian military leaders over how the war began – far from what he expected, with a very high death toll. This can also be seen in him physically, as he looks tired, pale and exhausted. Despite everything we are “I mean, I think he was surprised by the intensity of the West’s reactions – he expected sanctions to be imposed on Russia, but he did not expect the intensity and scope of them, with very serious consequences.”
In conclusion, Navot said: “There has been a lot of talk about the West responding loosely and passively to the war, but I do not think that is true – the West has used all the tools at its disposal that are not deer and means World War III. “There are other people who realized that they no longer had anything to look for in Russia and decided to leave their country, including those entitled to the Law of Return who come to Israel.”
