The shower of missiles over Ukraine reminded everyone of the first days of the war after Russia’s invasion, suggesting a virtually permanent withdrawal from peace. But in reality, with a facade made up of rockets and attacks, something is moving behind the scenes. “The recently reopened channel of dialogue between Russians and Americans has not been interrupted and continues at a medium-low level through the secret services and clandestine diplomacy”, writes Fausto Biloslavo in Il Giornale, where there is talk of reliable confirmations for a peace negotiation.
Vladimir Putin’s decision to massively attack Kiev and other cities also puts the US to the test: the supply of ATACMs missile launchers, which have a range of 300 kilometers, four times that of the Himars, would be another point of no return. And Joe Biden is thinking carefully about how to alternate extreme gestures with overtures. All in view of the G20 on November 15, where in addition to the White House tenant will also be Putin and Xi Jinping, China’s number one. The right time to find a deal.
At the moment, the risk, reports the newspaper, is that the war will spread, something that everyone wants to avoid. Some Russian missiles violated Moldovan airspace, the truck bomb that blew up the bridge between Russia and Crimea may have come from Bulgaria, and direct involvement by Belarus is increasingly likely. In addition, the alert level in Moscow was raised from orange to red for possible attacks, an undisclosed decision. All the factors that make you fear the worst, with the path of diplomacy to be able to resolve the chaos of war.
