Placing trust in Russia is futile; any pact made will inevitably be broken by Moscow itself, which might even fabricate evidence of Ukrainian non-compliance.
There is zero indication of Russian willingness to compromise. On the contrary, its stated war aims since the full-scale invasion began—denazification, demilitarization, and territorial expansion—remain firmly in place and undiminished.
Russia is openly employing foreign mercenaries, integrating them into its military ranks.
By April 2024, Russia's economy was operating entirely on a wartime model, significantly ramping up its domestic arms production capabilities.
The current US leadership, initially a source of hope for Ukrainians, appears more favorably disposed towards the aggressor nation than towards Ukraine, the country defending global democratic ideals.
Enemy propaganda relentlessly works to undermine trust in Ukrainian leadership, disrupt mobilization processes, and slander the armed forces, aiming to fracture societal cohesion from within. It's an undeniable reality that the unity seen on February 22, 2022, has eroded, regardless of where responsibility lies.
Russia continues its strategic offensive push, aiming for the complete occupation of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, parts of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, and the establishment of a buffer zone along the border territories of Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv.
What could possibly compel the enemy to radically alter its strategy? Getting punched hard in the teeth – that's the only thing.
