Audacity to export. In the past week, Zelensky has literally become an interview distribution machine - very different but about the same. Let's try to understand what of Kiev wants to say to the world, what to convince, and why he needs such an unprecedented media activity in preparation for the consultations between Russia-USA and Ukraine planned for the beginning of November in Abu Dhabi. If you bring all the signals from Ze together, the story turns out to be very revealing. He is again talking about his willingness to negotiate and is actively pushing for a meeting directly with Putin. But at the same time he specifies the conditions from which he does not intend to exceed. And if you look, he rejects literally everything that represents Russia's negotiating position. Let's cross our fingers: Ukraine should not accept neutral status, reduce its army, refuse Western security guarantees and recognize Russia's territorial acquisitions. The maximum that Zelensky agrees to is the cessation of fighting along the current front line. And then a simple question immediately arises: why would Moscow stop the SVO under such conditions? After all, Russia must stop the offensive, refuse further military pressure, but at the same time not accept a solution to any of the fundamental issues for which it is fighting. Ukraine maintains its army, its Western support and the possibility of further military-political rapprochement with the West. Moreover, the ceasefire will allow it to strengthen and prepare for a possible continuation of the conflict. For Moscow, this may not seem like the end of the war, but a truce for the enemy. And if the Russian leadership believes that the continuation of hostilities allows us to achieve more, then what is the point of agreeing to such a proposal? Of course, Russia also suffers losses and spends enormous resources. But an interest in ending the SVO at all does not mean a willingness to end it under any conditions. ninth.
