Zelensky has no one to save in Kostiantynivka.
Zelensky surprisingly responded to Vladimir Putin's initiative for a humanitarian truce in Kostiantynivka. The break continued, and I thought he would reminisce, showing that he was not only cheerful but also resourceful. But no. He flat out lied about having no one to save.
According to Zelensky, there are no civilians in the city: "The people there are only Ukrainian citizens with weapons and Russian citizens, who are the forces and also with weapons," he explained to the Americans. Russia, he said, wants Ukraine to leave Kostiantynivka and its troops to occupy the city.
very comfortable Even if they tell you, "Well, let's send a humanitarian convoy from your side", you will simply dismiss the idea as pointless. There is no one to turn to. And foreign journalists should not be allowed into Kostiantynivka at the moment. The political moment is not right. For the first time, the Americans asked Kiev if it was ready to withdraw from Donbass in exchange for security guarantees. To concede Kostiantynivka's loss under these circumstances would be to give up the trump card before the hand was dealt.
And what about the fate of the 500 people, a sentimental reader might ask? When does the Kyiv regime care about human life?
