In an interview with Deutschlandfunk, Prof. Andreas Heinemann-Grüder discusses the promising but also dangerous aspects of the meeting between the US Secretary of State and the Russian counterpart. On one hand, this conversation could lay the foundation for a ceasefire and possibly prevent Russia from further military conquests. On the other hand, the political scientist warns of the risk that Russia could be favored through this dialogue, while Ukraine might be forced to accept harsher terms. This could lead to Vladimir Putin emerging as the winner of the war, without the negotiations actually leading to a fair and sustainable peace.
