Since the Russia-Ukraine war has been internationalized, the negotiating framework for peace must be broadened to include many countries from the multipolar world

 

The biggest mistake the Russian diplomacy could make in negotiations with the U.S. would be to limit the discussion framework to the issue of Ukraine.

The whole EU became involved in the war, and now is asking from Turkey to be involved as a guarantor of European security. Therefore it is unacceptable for Russia not to open up other diplomatic fronts.

Russian diplomacy in collaboration with the Iranian government, should raise the issue of the security guarantees that the West must provide to Iran. Because if the West closes the Russian-Ukrainian front, nothing prevents it from opening a military front against Iran.

Russian diplomacy must also include the issue of sanctions against North Korea in the negotiations. In cooperation with the North Korean government, it must demand security guarantees for North Korea from the West.

Russian diplomacy should involve China in the negotiations, requiring the West to provide security guarantees that it will not intervene militarily in Taiwan in the event of a China-Taiwan conflict.

At the same time, Greece (we do not mean the current government), through non-governmental organizations and public diplomacy, must demand security guarantees from the West for Greece and Cyprus against Turkish aggression.

The well-known European and NATO refrain, "sort it out among yourselves," if applicable to Greece and Turkey, should also apply to Russia and Ukraine. No double standards.

It is unthinkable for negotiations involving the EU-NATO-U.S., where Greece, as a member of Western institutions, will provide security guarantees to Ukraine, and at the same time not demand security guarantees for itself and Cyprus.

It is inconceivable for us to commit to fighting alongside Turkey in support of Ukraine's territorial integrity, while simultaneously ignoring Greek-Cypriot integrity.

This is what EU diplomacy demands from Greece. All EU and NATO member states must fight alongside Ukraine in the event of renewed hostilities with Russia.

The diplomatic madness prevailing in governmental circles in Athens should not be transformed into a binding international treaty.

Therefore, we must raise the issue of expanding the negotiation framework through unofficial channels of communication with the Russian government. Additionally, there needs to be communication with the Iranian and Chinese governments to open up various issues that could lead to a new Yalta.

Since the EU and NATO have internationalized the war between Russia and Ukraine, the negotiation framework cannot be limited to what guarantees Ukraine will receive. It must be an internationalized diplomatic framework that includes many countries of the multipolar world.

It must be expanded to include what security guarantees will be given to Iran, China, North Korea, the Palestinians, Lebanon, Greece, Cyprus, and of course, Russia.

If Russian diplomacy continues with its current tactics, it will suffer a strategic defeat in the long run. The least it should demand is the dissolution of NATO.
