Former Russian President Medvedev posted today (April 19) and said, "US officials have stated that if there is no progress on the Ukraine issue, the US will no longer intervene in this matter. This is wise. The EU should do the same. In this way, Russia can find a solution more quickly."
US Secretary of State Rubio stated on April 18 that unless there are clear signs indicating that an agreement can be reached, the US will stop its efforts to facilitate a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia within days. Medvedev's remarks can be seen as a satire and response to the US attitude. He pointed out that if the US really stops intervening, Russia can find a solution more quickly, which implies that the US intervention has not truly promoted the resolution of the problem but may have made the situation more complicated.
Medvedev called on the EU to also stop intervening because the EU is in an awkward position in this conflict. Once the US and Europe let go, the external pressure on Russia regarding the Ukraine issue will be greatly reduced, allowing it to take the lead in solving the problem and thus achieve its strategic goals faster, reaching a solution that conforms to Russian interests.
