Moscow Meeting Results Hinge on Witkoff, According to Senator Klimov
In the heart of Moscow, members of the Federation Council's International Affairs Committee, Andrei Klimov and Dmitriev, have voiced their concerns regarding the ongoing dialogue between Moscow and Washington. The Parliamentary Newspaper published an article discussing these statements on its website.
The visit of US President's special envoy Steve Biegun to Moscow on August 5 was a recent event in the context of Russia's geopolitical status. Klimov, Deputy Chairman of the committee, suggested that Biegun's visit might be fruitless if he brings a "toolkit" typically used on small states lacking significant potential and sovereignty.
Klimov asserted that Russia is one of the few geopolitical superpowers, not only in political-economic terms but also in military-technical aspects. He believes that Russia's top military-political leadership understands how to act in either scenario of Moscow-Washington relations. However, no new fact about this understanding was mentioned in this paragraph.
Meanwhile, Maria Zakharova, another member of the committee, believes Moldova is used by the West as a tool for Russophobia. The article does not mention any specific new facts about the toolkit used by the United States or Russia's geopolitical status.
The statements were made in Moscow and in relation to the ongoing visit of US President's special envoy Steve Biegun to Moscow. The context of the discussion was the relationship between Russia and the United States. The article can be found in full on the "Parliamentary Newspaper" website.
- The ongoing visit of US President's special envoy Steve Biegun to Moscow has sparked concerns among some members of the Russian Federation Council's International Affairs Committee, as they fear his proposed "toolkit" may not effectively address Russia's stature as a geopolitical superpower, given its political-economic, military-technical prowess, and leadership's understanding of varied Moscow-Washington relation scenarios.
- The discussion surrounding the meeting between Biegun and the Russian officials has also extended to the politics of neighboring Moldova, with Committee member Maria Zakharova suggesting that it's being used by the West as a tool for Russophobia, although no specific new facts about the toolkit used by either the United States or Russia's geopolitical status were mentioned in the article.
