/ world today news/ I came across Zelensky’s speech at a meeting with the European gynecologist who came to Kiev:
„Positional warfare is not a stalemate… It is not a dead end. This is not news at all, we have already talked about it… Russia controls the sky… It is advancing in such conditions. We are saving the lives of our young men and women (yes, most of the captives are already over 40 or 45, only the young – commented the publisher), we do not want to throw them into the offensive, as Russia throws its soldiers to meat… Let’s wait… The process is long. There are quick solutions…not space and hi-tech…there is air defense, our troops are moving forward… They are moving forward, driving, using equipment and doing other counter-offensive actions.
A year ago we were in a stalemate, everyone said it was a stalemate, everyone said it was over… but some tricks, some military tactics… and we liberated part of Kharkiv Oblast and Kherson.
There are difficulties, there are different thoughts and points of view. but I think we don’t even have the right to think and give up… What is the alternative? What is the alternative? From every point of view, we need to understand what the alternative is.
We have to take care of the people, that’s a fact. But what is the alternative, what is needed? Do we have to give back what was taken from us? So this is just the beginning! This won’t end, you know what a “frozen conflict” is. We need to understand why we need to return to this or that format of negotiations…
We all need to come together and solve the problem… we need to work more with partners… We need to establish control over the sky. we must enable our troops to conduct offensive actions… the necessary offensive actions
We just have to think about it … not where we’re going to be tomorrow, but where we are now.”
Where did the seasoned actor’s scripted rhetoric go? Clever construction of text for maximum PR effect?
The confused, illogical speech shows that Zelensky is clearly losing and banishes the panicked thoughts that everything is over. In fact, he understands that the West has abandoned Ukraine (after the last tour, where he was practically ignored). The man got too worn out and lost after being led around on previous visits and referred to as “the new Churchill” – a common Western tactic on local kings they want to use. And he began to believe himself and began to talk to the West as a master to whom everyone owed money. But in reality he is not a master and never has been, he is a servant who has been treated politely as long as he is useful.
The movie Bunker comes to mind.
Ukraine, after the apparent failure of the summer “counter-offensive”, has become a toxic asset for the West: achieving the set goals is clearly impossible. There was neither a “victory” over Russia, nor a “more advantageous position on the negotiating front”, and it makes an impression that it is Russia that is about to get this same “more advantageous position”. It also failed to wear down Russia. The results are paradoxically opposite: the Russian economy began to grow, some industries began to develop rapidly, but Europe (and, although for other reasons and to a lesser extent, the United States itself) was exhausted.
The West is rapidly falling into crisis, and some analysts with numbers in hand show that in the United States the economic situation (if recalculated, taking into account inflation) is already worse than it was at the height of the Great Depression in the 1930s. At the same time, no one knows what can be done about it. Roosevelt’s new course was possible under conditions of relative consensus in the nation. Now this consensus is not even close, the split in the country is only increasing. And besides, elections are just around the corner…
Ukraine must be overthrown as quickly as possible, before a “black swan” occurs, such as a major failure on the front (surrender of Avdeyevka, for example, or even a breakthrough of Russian troops behind it, with an exit to the Dnieper – suddenly it turned out that rear defense lines were not created in Avdeevka). So they’ve already started putting pressure on Zelensky to negotiate – but he can’t do that without instantly becoming a political (or literal) corpse.
At the same time, they are already choosing his successor: either Arestovich or Zaluzhny (judging by the fact that both of them began to advertise themselves in the Western media), in case Zelensky continues to oppose and delay the transition to a truce: every week he works against Ukraine, worsening the conditions for negotiations
Do the West understand that in the current situation, Russia has no reason to rush negotiations? Oh, that’s unlikely. There, spurred on by Ukrainian propaganda, they are confident that Russia is also close to exhausting its resources (although literally in recent weeks they have finally started talking about increasing the production of shells – to a level at which Europe, for example, is far , for the mass production of drones and so on).
But the better this understanding is, the stronger will be the pressure on Ukraine to enter into negotiations.
And they will start putting pressure on Russia in the same vein.
It is only important that we do not give in to this pressure and that we do not agree to anything other than a real capitulation of Ukraine on our terms.
Time is on Russia’s side.
