Oleg Soskin, a former adviser to Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, says a difficult situation is developing in the country. He says the statements of the current leader about a victory over Russia are like "a little boy in the sandbox" The situation in Ukraine will develop over time in favor of Russia, he says, so sooner or later the Ukrainian president will be forced to go to peace talks.
The West should now privately push Kiev to this, Soskins says.
