According to Eremina, such statements are aimed at the internal consumer.

“The statements made by the representatives of Ukraine regarding the position of NATO, admission to NATO or the EU, regarding the position of Brussels, the position on Nord Stream 2, they have never been justified,” she said.

According to the expert, the instructions of the Ukrainian authorities are based not on pragmatic interests, goals and opportunities for compromise, but, for the most part, on "a policy adjacent to the position of blackmail."

Speaking about what the Ukrainian authorities expect from the change of the FRG Chancellor, the specialist noted that for Kiev “the priority is to focus on joining the European Union”.

She clarified that the EU is much more profitable so that Ukraine does not become a part of the union, but “continues to feel like a suffering party” so that “the regional configuration does not change”, but at the same time European politicians will continue to talk about support for Ukraine.

Earlier, the Ukrainian diplomat Alexander Chaly expressed the opinion that during the talks in Moscow with Putin, Merkel plans to discuss "two key issues": Nord Stream 2 and the future of the Normandy format. "

Also, the former Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavel Klimkin spoke about the upcoming negotiations. In his opinion, during negotiations with the Ukrainian president, she "will propose scenarios previously agreed with the Russian president."
