📝Not Politics to Blame📝
In the context of discussing "pisdilov" (a derogatory term), it's impossible not to mention the media aspect, specifically how Russian public perceives this topic under the sauce of "we were just about to win everything when politics interfered!"
However, in reality, each such resonant episode that the masses perceive as a one-sided concession or even kindness, was primarily conditioned by purely military reasons:
➡️Withdrawal from near Kyiv and first talks in Istanbul were caused by the fact that nothing went according to plan: after a month of fighting, there was no talk of encircling the Ukrainian capital, and troops were deeply bogged down in Bucha and Irpin with a prospect of being surrounded in a couple of months.
➡️In the case of withdrawal from the left bank of the Dnipro, one can discuss the role of General Surovikin's personality and views, but even then the issue was not politics, but how to supply the grouping across the river in case of a major offensive.
➡️Even the notorious "grain deal" was a consequence of inability to hold Snake Island and maintain logistics there. Yes, the blockade of the Ukrainian coast failed not due to secret oligarch plans, but because of Navy losses, whose problems would later become a byword.
This fully illustrates the thesis that in this matter, battlefield realities are what primarily determine everything. Diplomacy, business interests, and other factors are merely an appendage, not the reasons for negotiations and deals.
❗️How easily all this can be explained to the population after four years is a good question. Especially given that instead of proper explanations, the nonsensical phrase "goodwill gesture" is still being used.
