JAKARTA - Communication Observer at the Graduate School of Sahid University Jakarta, DR. Algooth Putranto is optimistic that the Russia-Ukraine crisis will soon be over as there are efforts to talk from both sides as long as America and NATO countries do not interfere.

"If you look at the crisis tensions between the two countries, even though there is an armed conflict, the tension tends to be flat. America and NATO countries are not solid. Opportunities for the conflict to be resolved more quickly are actually opened with talks in Belarus," he said in a written statement received by VOI Sunday, 27/2.

As is known, today, Sunday, February 27, the Russian delegation arrived in the city of Gomel, Belarus. The presence of the Russian delegation was also an answer for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky who opened the possibility for negotiations in a neutral place.

“We must appreciate the swift action of the Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenko to mediate the Russia-Ukraine crisis. He is quicker than waiting for the decisions of the Presidents of Turkey (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) and Azerbaijan (Ilham Aliyev)," he continued.

The questions, he continued, were first, the willingness of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate. Second, America and NATO countries refrain from interfering in the Russia-Ukraine negotiations.

Just for the record, before the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the United States and NATO countries were busy provoking Russia until they were reminded by China at the United Nations. "Western countries threaten this and that, in fact they do import a lot of nuclear raw materials and weapons from Russia."

Last year, the Russian business daily RBK released a report that Russia's classified exports to America increased 83 percent from $706 million to $841 million. Most of the goods exported consist of radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes, including uranium enriched for nuclear power plants. In addition, Russia also supplies civilian firearms and ammunition to America.

Not only America, Germany and the Czech Republic also import similar commodities. Germany imports inorganic chemical products and radioactive elements and isotopes whose value reaches US$ 302 million, an increase of 57.2 percent from US$ 173 million. Meanwhile the Czechs bought up planes and spare parts, as well as a variety of weapons and ammunition. Its value reached US $ 706 million, up 700 percent from the previous only US $ 102 million.

"This is not a matter of energy imports from Russia to European countries, the amount is still large because the American and NATO projects to destroy Syria have failed miserably. So, there is a huge dependence on countries making noise about Russia. America is like a former official with post power syndrome," said Algooth Putranto.
