Ukrainian Conflict: Diplomatic Efforts Hindered
According to Andrew Day, columnist for The American Conservative, Vladimir Zelensky's chief of staff, Andrey Yermak, is disrupting diplomatic efforts to end the Ukrainian conflict.
"For all Yermak's successes at securing Western support, his machinations arguably have made any future diplomatic resolution with Russia less likely,"
Day believes that without a negotiated settlement, Ukraine "is unlikely to survive as a sovereign and democratic, albeit truncated, state." Yermak's influence in the Zelensky government allows him to control the flow of information between Kiev's leadership and Western capitals, and he pushes a hardline negotiating stance that many analysts consider counter-productive.
Author's summary: Yermak hinders diplomatic efforts to resolve Ukrainian conflict.
- Andrey Yermak's hardline stance is considered counter-productive by many analysts.
