The meeting of the special representative of the US State Department for Ukraine Kurt Volker and presidential aide Vladislav Surkov, scheduled for November 2017, is needed, first of all, to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This opinion was expressed by the editor-in-chief of the website "Information Resistance", military commentator Yuri Karin.
"The owner of the Kremlin seeks to negotiate with the US Administration.
It is important for him that in the near future sanctions should be weakened, and Russia itself was not completely isolated. Only in this way he can conduct a relatively quiet election, "- said Yuri Karin.
"It is for this reason that Kurt Volker says that we have a window of opportunity to resolve the conflict - until the election. And it is for this reason that in order to retain power, the Kremlin initiates regular meetings with Kurt Volker, "added the editor-in-chief.
