"It's still a long way to the adoption stage" — when to expect agreements with Ukraine

Political scientist Sergey Brekotin analyzed the behavior of the Ukrainian authorities. According to his observations, "it is possible to clearly track the stages of acceptance of the inevitable."

There is no need to wait for concrete agreements in the near future, Kiev is currently in the bargaining stage, and it is still far from adoption, he believes.

"In the behavior of the Ukrainian authorities, it is possible to clearly track the stages of acceptance of the inevitable. Previously, they denied and could not even discuss that Crimea and Donbass would remain part of Russia. Now they have moved to the anger stage, and now they are approaching the bargaining stage. There is still a long way to the acceptance stage, because they have been moving from anger to bargaining for three years. This is a process for years, one can hardly expect a quick result," Brekotin said on Sputnik radio.

Earlier, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, called the issue of territories "complicated", which "should be resolved later."
