Attila Demkó, head of MCC's Geopolitics Workshop, spoke in the InfoRádió Aréna program about how the Americans built an international press campaign in connection with the Bucsa massacre with the aim of preventing the success of the Ukrainian-Russian peace negotiations.
At the same time, the security policy expert who made the serious claim admits that after his claim, many people will probably call him a producer of conspiracy theories.
"I saw that both Zelenskyi and Putin would have been willing to come to an agreement in the first week or two. This was interrupted by Bucsa"
- said Attila Demkó, who says that it is not even a question of the fight of the Ukrainians not being justified, or that the massacre in Bucsa did not take place, but before that it might have been possible to find a formula that both sides would accept.
According to the expert, the Americans and the British assured Ukraine of their full support, but this was not enough for the Ukrainian-Russian negotiations to run aground. Demkó said that the first week or two could have been a suitable moment to end the war, but
all of this was pulled through by what happened in Bucsa, which completely prevented the parties from applying compromise solutions.
"They built a huge international press campaign on Bucsá... There is a series of negotiations that are suddenly interrupted due to a serious carnage. This does not mean that there was no serious carnage, only that it was not necessarily in everyone's interest to continue the series of negotiations," said Attila Demkó.
As he said, the case is eerily similar to what happened in Bosnia during the Yugoslav war: "In Bosnia, too, a press campaign was built for a specific event, after which it was impossible to negotiate.
"And let's face it, there was an American hand ... the Markale market massacre is a controversial story, but there are indications that it was not done by the Serbs"
- said the expert, then added that the agreement between the parties in Bosnia was also close at the end of 1993 and the beginning of 1994, but after the massacres, a decision was made to involve NATO.
