His statement is not that this is unchangeable if you go to the source. He is stating that we have to remove Russia’s resource advantage to change the ability of Russia to wage war.
Incredibly defeatist attitude. Zelensky was correct to sideline him. Clearly total societal collapse in Russia means that nothing is off the table. Anything short of a victory for them will mean they will eat each other once more. If only we can convince reluctant China to stop propping them up.
Sad that a man as well respected and influential as Zaluzhny should verbalise something so emotionally dangerous. He is now a diplomat, he should know better. The Kremlin will grab this and use it as their proof that Ukraine have already ceded the oblasts.
Sauce for the goose is also good for the gander.
Russia asks for pie in the sky, but the uninvited, unwelcome 'guest' at the table does not get to demand the choicest cuts of meat!
Only Trump has betrayed you, he is a putin puppet. Unfortunately Europe was caught with the trousers down, relying on America, Europe is getting dressed now, better late than never! Europe needs to do much more!
Late comers to a party like this are coming in with a fresh new perspective, and a desire to replenish. The EU will start to make its impacts in 2026. Russia will be winding down its capital investments due to internal OPEC+ conflicts resulting in collapsing oil prices. Russia has stage four cancer.
Don't try to show Europe as an innocent one... Most of European countries are shutting a blind eye to the war... Politicians are cowards and they are afraid to commit fully for the war cause... Because it would mean forcing most of common "slavery folk" out of their "acceptible" comfort zones...
The return will come when Russia implodes.
That implosion will happen, the only question is when.
Right now Trump and to some degree parts of Europe seems to favor to prolong the time before the implosion occurs.
A pity, with the right choices it could have happened 2 years ago.
Bullshit. They’re borrowing funds from China, troops from NK, and drones from Iran. They’re a paper tiger but for their nukes. As long as Ukraine fights and the EU supports Russia will collapse.
russia has too many problems at once. dictator with little to no strategic thinking. war economy non sustainable. demands of different competing mafia groups: oligarchs, putin himself, FSB, GRU, Military "commanders", private armies, diverse groups of organised crime, and many more cronies.
declining demographics, 1 million men or more lost every year, complete dpendence on western tech, no tech of their own. irreversible war economy: what to do with all the soldiers? get them to the next front: lose lose situation. alcoholism, whole country in total decay, intelligentsia erased
Oil prices are down. Refineries burning. No resources to develop new oil wells. Too large a country. Too little people. One/ maybe two real cities: moskow & petersburg exploiting the giant landmass & the peoples subjugated by the russia. Railways in decline. Corruption everywhere. Dependence on
criminal states: n-korea, iran. Dependence on china who is no ally & simply waits for the russias collapse to buy cheap oil etc. There is simply not a single aspect about russia that can be seen as poitive. Economics ruined,
Society rotten, demographics in free fall, the russia is toast. Burnt toast
your assumptions are so wrong... china supports tech... africa supports manpower... all the world supplies curency and income... and russia has enough resources on it's own...
At least for a while. How different it might be if allies and guarantors had joined in the defense before the full-scale invasion happened. But it didn't happen.
it is true for Crimea, since its a natural fortress. It is possible to take it back only with complete air superiority which Ukraine is unlikely to have soon.
But russia can be forced to give it back if it is crushed economically.
“I resigned from Ukraine and also from the foreign service because the policy since the beginning of the [Trump] administration is to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia,” Bridget Brink told CBS’s Face the Nation. “Peace at any price is not peace at all.”
He is probably right, but he should have added "in the short term". Of course we're heading toward a Berlin/ Korea-like scenario, due to our own weakness as Europeans. The difference between de facto and de jure.. Ukraine will recover its stolen lands, sooner or later.
Russia has not win its war...Putin is just a pathetic little midget, like Hitler. Ukraine is more than resistance against tyranny, Ukraine is a Light in the darkness for all the people oppressed in the world.
Zaluzhny is a beautiful bastard, as an absolute hero of Uk. He knows his words worth gold...I think he shouldnt have said this, this is not the moment and this is not true as we're speaking...Ukraine can Win this war. Trump and Putin can be losers..The consequences will be different for both of them

Imagine if the Brit’s said this 80 years ago? Europe is lost, let’s go home. 🤔

Ukraine will move its new borders into Russia.
Whatever amount of territory Russia takes from Ukraine, an equivalent amount should be taken from Russia in return.
But russia can be forced to give it back if it is crushed economically.
