Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he considers freezing military operations along the current front line and shifting the conflict to the diplomatic track a realistic way to end the war.

He made the remarks in a special interview with U.S. television network Fox News, Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing the broadcaster.

Asked whether Kyiv would accept a peace deal that froze the conflict along the current line of contact while leaving more than three-quarters of Ukraine’s territory under its control, Zelensky replied:

“Yes. If we have to freeze military operations right now, I think this is the most realistic way to end the war,” the Ukrainian leader said.

I mean anything for a ceasefire later, whatever conditions, just to break it later. Ukraine, US empire, EU, NATO, they would find some way to provoke or destabilize and then make a new plausible propaganda case for why Russia broke the peace again and continuing the war is only Russia's fault. And people would eat it up. Deep strikes would continue. Russia would be stupid to not see that coming.

So Russia is basically forced into settling this on the battlefield, slowly take more territory and only leave a failed and utterly destroyed remainder of Ukraine as a headache for Europe to deal with. I believe such an "ugly victory" is the only way this war will end now. Let Europe stew in their near totalitarian hysteria.

Ukraine wenty to go into debt instead of having America sponsor the weapons Zelensky wasn't getting all that stuff for free. He was just selling out his country. So Ukraine is now a free buffet for the USA to rob dry of rare earth minerals and other natural resources.

Oh right. I went to check, the map here shows more reasons for Russia to continue pushing the front line just a little bit lol. But this article casts doubt that the deposits are even mineable economically.

And then you'd need processing. China strategically invested massively into that sector, while neoliberal Europe and US simply can't even conceive to doing such a thing.
