José Milhazes and Nuno Rogeiro analyzed in the Cold War podcast the current peace negotiations between the United States, Russia and Ukraine. The analysts discussed the role of figures like Witkoff and Kushner, who reportedly visited Kyiv to mediate conversations between the parties in conflict. The analysis focused on the diplomatic dynamics involving the three nations and the possible implications of these contacts for the future of the negotiations.
The Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries were another topic addressed in the discussion. Milhazes and Rogeiro examined the impact of these military operations on Ukraine's war strategy and on the ongoing peace talks. These attacks represent one of the fronts of the conflict that remains active alongside diplomatic negotiations.
The Russian proposal to repopulate Ukraine with Russians was one of the most debated points. Milhazes stated that this idea was already practiced in tsarist times, questioning whether it's just delirium or a concrete idea from Russia for Ukraine's future. The analysis left open whether this is a serious position or mere rhetoric in the context of the negotiations.
