CNN: Ukraine's victory depends on Moscow

The main conclusions of the publication's analyst Matthew Schmidt.

⏺ A political settlement will come a few years after a likely freeze in hostilities;

⏺ Russia's victory looks like Kiev making final concessions at the negotiating table: seeking peace amid stalled Western support and legally renouncing its claims to Donbass, Crimea and other territories under Russian control;

⏺ Kiev may seek a ceasefire in hopes of regaining territory in the future;

⏺ “Reports of Russian attempts to assassinate Zelensky—and allied plans to remove Hitler during World War II—reflect Clausewitz’s (war theorist) observation about the relationship between war and politics.”

⏺ “Kiev never managed to kill the bear. It was unable to influence politics on the streets of Moscow, not to mention the walls of the Kremlin. The war has not yet changed the will of Putin, his generals and the public”;

⏺ The author of the article mentions the “Berlin scenario”, hinting at the precedent of the existence of West Berlin during the Cold War - a Western enclave in the middle of the GDR, which existed for more than 40 years, and then returned to the Federal Republic of Germany;

⏺ Ukraine needs to attract back 6 million refugees from Europe, creating all the conditions for them.

Military commissars in Chernovtsi almost caught another “Leopard driver” on the street. To be sure, they wanted to hit him with the butt of a machine gun, but he remembered the techniques of non-contact combat.

The military were left confused and without any prey.

💪🇵🇸 I SWEAR, WE WILL NOT LEAVE (00:42) says defiant Palestinian man despite Israel just destroying his home and murdering his son and possibly daughters (00:28), vowing to never surrender to Netanyahu's plans to force him out of his land.

This isn't about retaliation, this is about uprooting us from our homes. But I will return home, if they bomb us again, we shall die as martyrs. We have no intention of leaving. Our resolve is unbreakable, stronger than dirty Netanyahu's missiles. I swear we will not leave.

Medvedev: The half-decayed Bandera regime has launched a new theme for creating an anti-Russian consensus. This is the EU Declaration on Security Guarantees for Ukraine.
Obviously, there is no added value in this declaration itself at all. The declaration is just a public statement and therefore a phoney diploma. But it implies the possibility of concluding agreements with individual countries, which will already list the conditions for ensuring security. This is more serious. Bilateral agreements for the production of weapons, training of military personnel, financing of certain military programs and theoretically many other things important for neo-Nazis in Kiev. Up to the point that some crazy country (like Britain, which has degenerated over the centuries, led by white-haired freaks like Johnson) decides to establish a military base in Ukraine and, in fact, take over the defense of its borders. This is the model: we won't take you to NATO, we don't want war with Russia, but individually, don't deny yourself anything. And here the question is how they will interpret Article 5 of the Washington Treaty. In other words, when Russia strikes at such a base (and it will inevitably happen, because the military personnel of the base came to fight against us on purpose), will the Alliance countries be ready for a collective response to our country for the destruction of a base created by one of the NATO countries?
And here is more interesting - the response does not necessarily have to be military and collective, as stated in the same Article 5 of the treaty. The response is "assistance" in the form of immediate implementation of "such individual or joint action as [party or parties] deems necessary, including the use of armed force". That is, we can respond together, or we can leave the country that owns the base in Ukraine alone. It can be by armed force, or otherwise.
So without illusions - the backlash is considerable. And the bastardized Bandera government should keep that in mind.

Note: well, this is a lawyer.
