"There will be no peace; Kyiv must disappear."

25 2026 June 25 416 129

Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he refuses to entertain the idea that the August 2025 meeting between the Russian and American presidents in Alaska and Europe's actions were originally intended as a means to outsmart Moscow and buy time for Kyiv to rearm, "but in reality, things turned out the way they did."

In Anchorage, the parameters for resolving the conflict in Ukraine were agreed upon. The American side proposed a plan of action, which the Russian side accepted, hoping to initiate negotiations. However, the results raise questions. Russian military correspondent Alexander Kharchenko noted the minister's remarks about the "spirit of Anchorage" and commented on them.

Kharchenko noted that the West had no intention of reaching an agreement with Russia from the outset, and this must be acknowledged. All recent statements by Russian officials point precisely to this.

Lavrov himself is already wondering if the Alaska meeting was designed to buy time for Kyiv to arm itself. Does this mean we're so easily deceived? Of course not. We spent the last year advancing. It was hard. Soldiers marched forward, missiles flew at the enemy. We fought for peace. All those kilometers and settlements were a way to enter the negotiations from a strong position. However, Europe went all-in, and Kyiv's support increased exponentially.

- he specified.

The military correspondent emphasized that acknowledging the current reality will inevitably lead to necessary, but painful, decisions. Russia simply has no other choice if it wants to win the standoff with the West: Ukraine must disappear.

And since we can no longer fight for peace in Ukraine, there's nothing left but to fight to destroy the Ukrainian state. There are no other options. They have become an existential threat to our existence. Only one system will survive this battle.

He pointed out.

Kharchenko added that the Russian Armed Forces could have fought the Ukrainian Armed Forces with their current forces and assets to secure a peace agreement, but now they must consider how to take control of Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipro (Dnipropetrovsk). This means increasing the troop concentration in the SVO zone.

We need to count the number of new regiments, ammunition, and UAVs. Pre-war reality will be forgotten, and each of us will become even more involved in this conflict. Once we've begun to acknowledge reality, we shouldn't delay painful decisions. Kyiv is buoyed by its successes and will throw everyone it can reach into battle. Our main priority is to withstand this blow and launch a counteroffensive. We simply have no other options.

He summed up.

Well, who would want to admit their own complete incompetence? Their own and the president's?
Reality has shown that this is a fact.

  Nobody wanted war - war was inevitable.
  I would like to believe that the issue of bridges across the Dnieper and difficult decisions with the small-time Brits, the 3,14 Indians, and Gayropa will be resolved in a positive, active, offensive manner.

    Kyiv, as one of our historical centers, must be preserved if possible. The Kyiv Junta and the Nazis must "disappear."

      Without a moment's hesitation, the Kremlin and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs committed a global mistake in the post-Soviet space, hoping to reach a peaceful agreement with their eternal historical enemies – the Anglo-Saxons.
      Diplomacy with non-gentlemen must be supported by forceful methods according to their rules,
      
      A kind word and a revolver can achieve much more than just a kind word.

        Yes, it's strange, considering that any educated person understands the kind of power they're actually dealing with in the West. How anyone could be so mistaken is beyond me.
        
        However, we will see the outcome of all this in any case. The "elite" simply needs to understand that Russia's strategic defeat, should it occur, will primarily deprive them of everything. And if they are promised something else, then the formula is no longer a secret: "they'll deceive us again."
        Putin, by the way, told them about this more than once and publicly

    By speaking out in defense of the current government and president in Russia, whose actions have resulted in the people of this country effectively owning nothing, you are establishing yourself as an enemy of the people, which is essentially what you are.

      Prior to that, I stand up for truth and my country. I consider myself a patriot, that's all.
      
      As if anything ever belonged to the people before. Land to the peasants, factories to the workers, and mineral resources to the people turned out to be nothing more than empty slogans. We weren't even allowed out of the country, and our personal lives were interfered with.
      But now, our standard of living has risen exponentially, and our average life expectancy has increased significantly. The comfort of our cities has surpassed all expectations. Fly, travel wherever your heart desires. Planes, commuter trains, trains. Everywhere is clean and cozy, with excellent hotels and delicious cafes. You can visit 78 countries visa-free with a Russian passport, and another 44 offer visas upon arrival.
      I speak nothing but the truth. Which means, even if I'm an enemy, the truth must still be heeded. But you're all about slander. I haven't read anything good about Russia in a single post of yours. Just like many others here, by the way. This is either a diagnosis or enemy propaganda. Because a normal person wouldn't write only bad things about their supposedly own country. They're either crazy or an enemy. Choose whichever you prefer.

        Criticizing the mistakes of the Russian leadership does not mean being an enemy of Russia.
        Unlike what you do.
        Putin's mistakes can be justified precisely because he is an enemy of the country.
        You, like a "beautiful marquise", the house is on fire, and Igorek insists that everything is great.

        Criticizing the mistakes of the Russian leadership does not mean being an enemy of Russia.
        
        However, there's a reasonable limit to this. But who among us is 100% perfect? I don't see any. Who should we replace them with? Someone even worse? Our elite is mostly corrupt and corrupt, and Putin isn't one of them. So we shouldn't criticize the Russian leadership's mistakes every time, but at least every three times, so they know you're not happy with them.

        The Putin era, which has now lasted for more than a quarter of a century, has seen Russia transform from an impoverished country dependent on the West into a modernized and tech-savvy modern state, roughly as hostile to the West as the Soviet Union was during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

        You asked for a comparison. Please. See fig.
        The decline in rolling bearing production under Putin fell by 7 times, and by 21,4 times since 1990.
        There is no radio-electronic industry. Where is the machine tool industry?
        Where is the modern state?
        I'd like to live like in the US, where gasoline costs 4-5 rubles per liter, converted into Russian money, but who will allow us slaves to do that?

        vlad127490,
        
        You asked for a comparison.
        
        I didn't ask. You imagined it.
        
        The decline in rolling bearing production under Putin fell by 7 times, and by 21,4 times since 1990.
        
        Well, that is, under Putin the decline in production decreased by 3 times.
        But, in fact, it was just after 20 that new bearing factories emerged in the country. For example, "Automotive Bearing Plant No. 1" opened in Dubna.
        
        Three new production facilities have appeared on the market of bearings for railway engineering: EPK-Brenko and Timken-OVK, as well as a subsidiary of the Swedish concern SKF. These enterprises completely met the needs of railway workers.
        Russian companies have established several new bearing production plants, for example in Vologda and Samara.
        Some enterprises were also reconstructed.
        
        Take a look at the attached diagram – it shows steady growth in bearing production since 2023. And there are plans to increase it even further.
        
        There is no radio-electronic industry
        
        Yes, there are. Moreover, products from the Russian electronics industry are exported.
        
        Where is the machine tool industry?
        
        We have them too.
        
        Russia has doubled machine tool production since 2020.
        Machine tool manufacturing: a renaissance
        In 2020, the government adopted the "Strategy for the Development of the Machine Tool Industry through 2035"
        Machine tool production in Russia is growing, and for some items, it is growing exponentially.
        
        if we compare 2024 with pre-sanctions 2021
        metalworking machines: more than 2,5 times
        Metal-cutting machine tools have almost doubled in size
        for boring and cutting machines: seven times
        for drilling and milling machines: 3,4 times.
        
        Where is the modern state?
        
        Well, here it is, my dear. We live here now.

        "There are 24 million adults and 12 million children who literally don't have enough to eat. And these aren't Democrats or Republicans, these are Americans," Biden said.
        The President also emphasized that 15 million US residents are unable to pay their rent on time.
        
        The funniest thing is that when Americans come to visit us, they envy us too. In international city safety rankings, American cities rank significantly lower than Russian ones.
        
        At least 40 people will be injured by gun violence in the United States in 2025.

  Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he refuses to entertain the idea that the August 2025 meeting between the Russian and American presidents in Alaska and Europe's actions were originally intended as a means to outsmart Moscow and buy time for Kyiv to rearm, "but in reality, things turned out the way they did."
  
  They're unteachable there in the Kremlin! (facepalm)
  How many times has this happened already?
  Minsk-1.
  Minsk-2
  Istanbul.
  Anchorage.
  The murder of our ambassador to Turkey.
  The shooting down of our military plane in Syria by the Turks. One aging character kept threatening that they wouldn't get away with tomatoes. So what?
  I'm 100500% sure the Kremlin old farts have the memory of a fish. Or the other, more likely option: the Orni are doing this deliberately, to destroy and ruin our country, preparing its surrender.

    Minsk-1.
    Minsk-2
    
    Thousands of lives were saved in Donbas. And Russia gained seven peaceful years to rearm and develop its economy. That's why we're currently winning the Central Military District and confidently resisting global sanctions.
    
    Istanbul.
    
    Russia received the LPR and DPR + 2 regions (totaling 95 thousand square kilometers) and 5 million new citizens.
    
    Anchorage.
    
    The United States has stopped financial support for Ukraine and the free transfer of military equipment to it, and has also stopped imposing new sanctions on Russia.
    
    And you also forgot about the coup in Kyiv, when Westerners asked Putin to persuade Yanukovych to hold peaceful elections.
    As a result, Russia reunited with Crimea.
    
    I'm 100500% sure that the Kremlin old farts have the memory of a fish.
    
    Western leaders definitely do. Time and again they try to deceive us, but Putin and Lavrov always turn everything to Russia's advantage.
    
    The Orni are doing everything on purpose, to destroy our country, and are preparing its surrender.
    
    So far, all their actions have resulted in Russia becoming stronger both militarily and economically, reaching first place in Europe in GDP/PPP and sixth place in the world. Over the four years of the Soviet Union's rule, Russia's economy grew by 10%.
    Under Putin and Lavrov, Russia has grown with the addition of Chechnya, Crimea, the LPR and DPR, and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, bringing in 10 million new Russian citizens.

Russia simply has no other choice if it wants to win the confrontation with the West: Ukraine must disappear.

The main thing is for the Kremlin to understand this. And before considering increasing the force, which is only possible through a new mobilization, they might first try fighting differently. For example, choosing different targets for missile attacks, and rendering the bridges across the Dnieper, if not completely destroyed, then at least unusable.

  If 70-year-old pensioner Gerasimov hasn't learned to fight in a new way in four years, don't expect him to do so now, just as you wouldn't expect Putin to. Alas, old age is leading us toward a new wave of mobilization. And in the context of modern, network-centric warfare, with AI-controlled drones on the battlefield and the latest types of intelligent remote mining, it won't be long before the newly mobilized troops learn to fight...

    but the old people are leading us to a new wave of mobilization
    
    Let's not blame the other side. The ones calling for mobilization are relatively young political scientists and bloggers, who themselves have no desire to go to the front. Yet they could easily form a separate shock battalion.
    
    in the context of modern, network-centric warfare with the subordination of a huge mass of drones on the battlefield to AI, the latest types of smart remote mining
    
    And how did this help the Ukrainian Armed Forces win? We're still advancing, just as we were. This year, we've already liberated 1700 square kilometers. So it's unclear why a new mobilization is needed. For example, maybe we should send military advisers and political scientists into battle. So they don't dabble around here with their crazy ideas.

  Are we fighting badly? Since the beginning of the year, 1700 square kilometers have already been liberated. Everything seems to be going well.

Putin is no longer comfortable saying that he (we) were duped (cheated like the last sucker once again), now he has released Lavrov to talk back... but judging by the rhetoric of both the Foreign Ministry and the Kremlin itself, they are ready for negotiations, which means their mistakes have taught them nothing; those in power are either completely uneducable and stupid leaders, or they are simply senile old men.

  rotkiv04, if you look at the results, it's Putin who fooled everyone. Including Trump. Because Russia didn't agree to his terms, and the US ended its support for Ukraine. And they haven't imposed any new sanctions on us since then; they've even reversed some of them.
  
  Now he's released Lavrov to talk back.
  
  This is purely a smokescreen to prevent the US from realizing we've outmaneuvered them. Let Trump feel incredibly clever. Then he'll be much easier to fool. This is the basics of negotiating psychology.
  
  those in power are either completely uneducated and stupid leaders, or they are simply senile old men

    What deceit?
    In Anchorage, no one promised anyone anything.
    The parties met and discussed a possible ceasefire option, outlined a possible compromise (the notorious exchange of 6 thousand square kilometers in the Donetsk region for 1.5 thousand square kilometers in the Kharkiv-Sumy region), but since Ukraine did not agree to it, the option remained an option.
    They only indicated that the territorial bargaining had narrowed to 1% of the total area of Ukraine.
    
    At the same time, no ceasefire was declared either during the negotiations or, especially, after them.
    Russia continues to hit Ukraine with everything it has and occupy territory, while the US continues to transfer data and supply weapons.
    
    And even the pause in direct funding from the US is a decision of the US itself, and not the terms of an agreement that did not exist and does not exist.

      I thought so too. Take a bite out of their own, go on the defensive, and wait for them to tire. But it didn't work. Times are different, and the weapons are different. Secondly, Vietnam and Afghanistan were backed by the USSR, whose industry was never bombed, and whose financial system was independent. In Vietnam, it was mostly the local population that was spending. The USSR left, and Afghanistan collapsed. Iran is backed by China, and Iran actually went all-in and started bombing everything it could reach. Russia even bombs Ukraine with idiotic precision, and NATO countries suffer no damage at all. So why should they leave and stop terrorizing Russia, which is even defending itself, figuratively, by exposing its own population? There are two options. Either a nuclear strike on western Ukraine, as a final warning. Or shut down the country and impose some kind of martial law, mobilizing industry, so that Ukraine and the NATO countries bordering it can be carpet-bombed in quantitative, conventional fashion.

        And the main thing is that this does not bring any benefits; all the benefits go to Asian countries.
        
        At the moment, the EU still has a ceasefire proposal for the LBS.
        By and large, it consolidates Russia's control over already occupied territories and, in general, serves Russia's interests.
        So at the moment, this very “terror against the Russian Federation” is the price that the Russian Federation is consciously paying for occupying additional territories (heavily ruined).

        The story of Afghanistan in the 2000s is murky. They left a bunch of weapons for the Taliban (they didn't destroy them). Apparently, they were counting on the fact that the thugs would use these weapons to destabilize the region in a controlled manner for a price. Iran hit the Americans hard, and they felt the pain, while the Europeans wisely distanced themselves. It's hard for me to judge how much pain Europe is currently feeling. Even the supposedly first-hand information from émigré friends is questionable, contradictory, and false. Russia isn't ready to withstand such rear-echelon terror for long. There are two options. Either a nuclear strike right now. Or try to close the country, declare some semblance of martial law, mobilize industry, and belatedly prepare the country for a protracted siege/blockade and defense. But this isn't a solution, it's merely a delay until the next world war. Just like the gap between World War I and World War II wasn't long, about 20 years. Staying under siege/defense will ultimately lead to the same thing—a nuclear exchange. But we're better prepared for that now. But in 20-30 years, maybe they'll be better prepared.

        If we understand that this is a long-term project, then we need to (as usual, starting three years ago) strengthen passive defense. This is where some tentative mobilization measures may be necessary. I call them tentative because everything can be easily solved through vacancies with good salaries for installing metal structures and nets to protect roads and valuable/vulnerable assets. And then there's digging the ground for oil depot tanks, digging trenches for pipelines, pouring concrete, and so on. Naturally, with equipment, not shovels or wheelbarrows.

        Germany and Japan, under the conditions of the colonial division of the world, were suffocated without markets and raw materials, and were therefore effectively forced to try to win back their sphere of economic activity by force.
        
        There are no economic contradictions between Russia and the West, either in 2021 or now.
        
        And most importantly, the overall trends are such that Europe is losing its relative importance. Demographic and economic trends are such that in 20 years, they won't have time to try to stage a comeback.

        And yes, regarding "General Radek." If I'd been in the first wave of mobilization, I'd likely have marched on Moscow with Prigozhin. When power in a country collapses, every existing party or group will, indeed, rush to reassert it. I clearly see an organized pro-Western group, but not so clearly an organized patriotic one. The group that's best prepared will reassert and maintain the fallen government. And the loyalty of the population can be partly bought, partly achieved through terror. This has indeed already happened in Russia.

The Ukrainians don't immediately accept the loss of cities and then continue to deploy assault groups there for a long time. This happened in Vovchansk, and in Dzerzhinsk, and in Chasov Yar, and in Krasnoarmeysk. And in Kupyansk. But there was little point in holding on to Kupyansk itself. The main thing was to close the bridge in Kupyansk over the Oskol River, in order to continue cutting off the supply lines for the large Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Zaoskol. Consequently, for the same reason, the Ukrainian Armed Forces burned so many reserves in Kupyansk; everyone was trying to rescue their own. But it didn't work out, and now Zaoskol is already being cleared. And at the same time, Kupyansk has almost been liberated again. Actually, this is the third time already, if you count 2022.

        It might be right, but the question is what it will cost us. If half the country has to give up its life for it, then screw it. On the other hand, the SVO leads to a radical reduction in Ukraine's capabilities. Perhaps another year, and it will be easy to deal with.

        Dancing in place. The casualties are mounting. The Kremlin is constantly looking for a deal and lacks the political will to win. It's not destroying the enemy's infrastructure, logistics, energy, or command and control, or it's tied to behind-the-scenes deals. Do you truly lack a thought process, or is your job simply to describe this treading water as a "victory march"?

        PVV22121922, that's precisely why we're on the lookout. The Kremlin is eager to reduce our losses. How could it not, when the offensive continues unabated? Today, we liberated the village of Bogodarovka in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

        Ukraine suffered five heavy losses
        
        or is the task like this
        
        It's your job to say everything is bad. What kind of shambles is this, if in less than a year, 3500 square kilometers were liberated, including eight cities. And two more are set to fall soon.

        Anchorage allowed for a radical reduction in aid to Ukraine and a relaxation of sanctions pressure on Russia. This, among other things, accelerated the offensive.
        We have weapons that NATO countries lack, meaning we're ahead of the curve. Our Su-57 fighters are every bit as good as the much-hyped F-35. Our air defense systems are superior to Western ones. Russia is the world leader in the export of nuclear power plant units—the most high-tech industry. Russia builds more nuclear icebreakers than anyone else. Russian nuclear-powered submarines are the best in the world. A Russian scientific satellite has been successfully operating for years at a distance of 1,5 million kilometers from Earth.

    But in reality there is no need for a new mobilization yet.
    
    What kind of society do you have then, in which mobilization causes discontent?
    And who will fight for you? Mobilization is actually carried out to defend the Motherland.
    And your offensive has been going on for five years now. Longer than in WWII. Stalin is tired of turning over in his grave. Incidentally, even on the pages of "Reporter," the division between those for "peace" and those for victory is clearly visible. The majority are for victory, while only the "bots" are for "peace."

      And your offensive has been going on for five years now. Longer than in WWII. Stalin is tired of turning over in his grave.
      
      Let me remind you that Stalin himself fought the Bandera supporters for another eight years after the end of WWII. And he couldn't crush them. Then they fought them for another seven years, until 1960.
      So we are still a long way from Stalin.
      
      The majority is for victory
      
      The majority is in favor of dragging Russia into some more nonsense so that it loses to Ukraine.

        In a normal society, mobilization shouldn't cause either a surge of happiness or a surge of discontent. It's simply a citizen's duty, just like compulsory military service. You didn't serve in the army, but you're trying to teach everyone how to fight.
        
        ..to drag Russia into some more nonsense..
        
        You see how it all becomes clear: you consider the SVO "some kind of sham." And so you champion peace and friendship. But you can't grasp one simple idea: no one will sign a peace agreement with you. The US, the EU, and Ukraine all benefit from waging war for as long as possible. And your desire for peace is of absolutely no importance to anyone.

        Serj Iff, no one wants to die. Even if it's considered a sacred duty. And it's one thing to mobilize when the enemy comes to your home to defend yourself. But it's quite another when you become the enemy yourself and come to seize someone else's home. And then they'll defend themselves from you.
        Firstly, it's not like conscription. Because everyone's already served their conscription. So, mobilization is a repeat service. Secondly, conscripts usually serve at home in the rear. But here they'll have to go and die for their uncle.
        Actually, I did my training at an air defense complex in the Baltics and studied at the military department of a university. My military specialty is air defense. So, I have a fair idea of what military service is like. But, in reality, I'm more of a logical thinker than a teacher. The author is trying to teach you and me, and I'm rightfully objecting. I have every right to.
        
        You consider SVO "some kind of bastard"
        
        No need to exaggerate. By "fornication," I mean the seizure of someone else's Left Bank.
        
        And that's why you're rooting for peace and friendship.
        
        So, what’s wrong with peace and friendship?
        
        no one will enter into a peace agreement with you
        
        At least, that's what the EU is calling on us to do now. The US did before.
        
        The US, EU, and Ukraine benefit from continuing the war as long as possible.
        
        Not Ukraine, but Zelensky. We remember that the EU will be footing the bill now. So it's definitely not in his interests.
        
        Your desire for peace is absolutely of no importance to anyone.
        
        Once again. Ukraine and the EU are now unanimously calling for peace. And Zelenskyy wants to force us to peace with drone strikes and missiles.

      gxmlygw,
      
      I don't know what you consider success.
      
      Successful defense of the LPR and DPR.
      Successful annexation of 95 thousand square kilometers of new territories to Russia.
      Successful addition of 5 million new citizens.
      
      We have been unable to liberate Donbass for four years.
      
      Only 7,5% of the territory remains to be liberated. We also remember that our offensive is still underway in four other regions: Zaporizhia, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk.
      
      They allowed the Kursk region to be occupied for six months and brought Crimea to the point of a de facto blockade by evacuating our children from there.
      
      And in September 2022, they made a significant retreat in the Kharkiv and Kherson regions, and in 2023, in the Zaporizhia region. So what? War isn't all about victories. You have to look at the bottom line. In the end, Russia occupied 11700 square kilometers of new Russian territory between 2024-25-26. And over that time, it killed 2,4 million Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel.
      
      Russian cities have been subjected to systematic enemy drone strikes since the beginning of this year.
      
      That's been the case since the beginning of 2023. Ukrainian cities have been systematically hit by drones and missiles. And some are even hit by FABs and UMPK missiles. Thus, Ukraine's losses are many times greater.
      
      Do you call this success?
      
      Without a doubt. When more enemies die, when we advance, and Ukraine's rear is crumbling far more than ours—that's success.

        Valera75, firstly, Putin regularly voices the proportions of losses.
        Secondly, they were voiced by Prigozhin - he collected the corpses of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, counted them, and handed them over to Ukraine.
        This tradition was subsequently continued by the Russian Ministry of Defense. To date, the Russian Ministry of Defense has handed over 23,903 bodies of fallen Ukrainian servicemen to Ukraine, and Ukraine has handed over 1,823 Russian bodies to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The ratio is 13 to 1.
        Third, Russia uses far more heavy weapons on the battlefield than Ukraine. Hundreds of FABs per day, up to 3000 kg. Dozens of Iskander missiles, including those with cluster munitions. The Russian Ministry of Defense reports approximately 150 strikes on Ukrainian Armed Forces locations daily. Here's what it looks like:
        
        https://t.me/boris_rozhin/215736
        
        And we simply have more artillery, multiple rocket launchers, tanks, heavy flamethrower systems, and ammunition. Therefore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' losses are many times greater.

        But I know, and all wars talk about this, that whoever attacks suffers great losses.

"There will be no peace; Kyiv must disappear."

Or it will and it shouldn’t, it depends.

"but in reality it turned out the way it did"

Do what you must, and what is destined will happen.

Europe has gone all-in, and support for Kyiv has increased exponentially.

The author doesn't mention that, at the same time, thanks to Anchorage, US support for Ukraine was practically curtailed. Therefore, overall support, if it did increase, was not significantly so. The financial burden of aiding Ukraine has simply shifted from the US to Europe. Moreover, the US is beginning to demand that the EU reimburse funds previously spent on aid to Ukraine. If this issue is pushed further, it will be a severe blow to the European economy.

Russia simply has no other choice if it wants to win the confrontation with the West: Ukraine must disappear.

The author clearly has problems with logic. There's a confrontation with the West, and Ukraine is supposed to disappear. So what's to stop the West from finding another country to wage war on Russia? Moreover, if the West is defeated, Ukraine might not disappear. The root of the problem isn't Ukraine, but the West.

And since we can no longer fight for peace in Ukraine

Why can't we, exactly? At first glance, nothing has changed; we continue to advance just as we did before.

They have become an existential threat to our existence. In this battle, only one system will survive.

But the destruction of Ukraine won't lead to the collapse of the Western system. The West won't even bother. What's the point then of escalating the war, multiplying our losses and costs? It's almost the opposite: if we try to destroy Ukraine, we'll greatly weaken ourselves, making it much easier for the West to finish us off or destroy us from within. Perhaps that's precisely the author's goal?

The Russian Armed Forces could fight with their current forces and resources against the Ukrainian Armed Forces in order to conclude a peace agreement, but now they need to think about how to take control of Kharkov, Sumy, and Dnepr (Dnepropetrovsk).

So, what's the reason for this need? Is it because Western support for Ukraine has supposedly increased exponentially? It hasn't increased; the author is misleading us. The aid has remained roughly the same, it's just that now it's being paid for from a different pocket, the European one.

Kyiv is inspired by its success and will throw into battle everyone it can reach.

What successes has Kyiv achieved? Its raids on Russian rear areas have no impact on the progress of the Central Military District. It appears Kyiv's actions are driven by desperation, driven by our successes at the front. Two more DPR cities have been virtually liberated. Very few remain under Kyiv's control. You can count them on the fingers of one hand. According to updated data, Ukrainian Armed Forces losses have already reached 2,4 million. In fact, we are now witnessing the death throes of the Kyiv regime.

The main thing for us is to withstand this blow and go on the counteroffensive.

What attack, what counteroffensive? Is the author delusional? Knock on wood, so far there haven't been any large-scale attacks on us at the front, and we're still advancing as before. Since the beginning of the year, 1700 square kilometers have been liberated, meaning the pace of advance is comparable to previous years. We need to press the enemy, liberate the small percentage of our still-occupied territories. Instead of screaming that everything is lost and committing rash acts.

  Do what you must, and what is destined will happen.
  
  - What kind of fatal couch bot writes this?
  for example, Sergey Lavrov:
  
  I don’t even want to suspect that Alaska, like the European actions, was conceived to buy time for the Kyiv regime to be armed, I don’t even want to think about it, but in reality it turned out the way it did.
  
  How can one disagree with Mr. Lavrov? There are many things that are difficult, and one would absolutely not want to think about, for example:
  
  I don’t even want to suspect that instead of a carefully calculated and organized special operation, Russia could have gotten caught in a trap in a trench war that lasted longer than the First World War and the Great Patriotic War; I don’t even want to think about it, but in reality, it turned out the way it did.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that every week in a war started to protect the civilians of Donbas, hundreds of civilians could die and be wounded tens and hundreds of kilometers from the front, I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, it turned out the way it did.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that the enemy could have surpassed our air defense system so much that they could hit strategic defense and industrial facilities deep in the rear with missiles and drones almost every day; I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, that's how it turned out.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that in the fifth year of the war, a great energy power will be unable to protect its oil industry and will be forced to introduce fuel rationing for the population; I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, that's how it turned out.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that a country that once opened up space to the world won't be able to overcome the lag in communications and reconnaissance satellites, I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, it turned out the way it did.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that a country with advanced development in information and telecommunications technologies could, in the midst of a war, launch a campaign to block the internet, including for its own troops and military-industrial complex; I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, that's what happened.
  
  I don’t even want to suspect that Russia, with all its fleets, special forces, and marines, won’t be able or won’t want to defend its tankers from pirate capture by enemies; I don’t even want to think about it, but in reality, that’s how it turned out.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that official representatives of our country will be able to easily conduct business and hope for friendship with those who create and supply weapons that kill our fellow citizens; I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, it turned out the way it did.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that Russian businessmen and oligarchs can still trade with the enemy and its allies, selling materials used to kill civilians, I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, it turned out the way it did.
  
  I don’t even want to suspect that short-sightedness, complicity, and lack of will could have led to the nullification of all the successes and all the efforts in Syria, to the betrayal of those who trusted Russia and hoped for it; I don’t even want to think about it, but in reality, it turned out the way it did.
  
  I don’t even want to suspect that fear of Washington could have forced Russia to betray the people of Cuba and not come to their aid in difficult times, I don’t even want to think about it, but in reality it turned out the way it did.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that a commitment to negotiations with a global predator could have alienated Russia's potential allies from Africa, Latin America, and Asia, who were ready to see Russia as a hotbed of resistance to imperialism. I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, that's how it turned out.
  
  I don’t even want to suspect that yesterday’s terrorists from Afghanistan, committing barbarity in their own country, could be accepted and treated kindly in Russia, I don’t even want to think about it, but in reality it turned out the way it did.
  
  I don't even want to suspect that our country could have fallen into the deepest crisis since the end of the last century due to the inability to recognize the very seriousness of the current situation, due to the fear of using emergency measures developed and prepared for an emergency; I don't even want to think about it, but in reality, it turned out the way it did.
  
  and a lot more, right, Igor?

Frankly, I don't quite understand this hysteria about a "treacherous deal." A small group of people is desperately trying to extricate themselves from a very awkward and gradually worsening situation by concluding a truce/peace agreement, while exerting military and other pressure on the enemy to force them to make maximum concessions. However, the enemy is not stupid and is, in turn, increasing the pressure. As a result, we are currently moving towards a dead end, but this won't last...

Whose bright head came up with the idea of Kyiv's disappearance?

  I'm also against it, even nuclear weapons, as many already want. But logistics, especially in the western part of Ukraine, need to be taken out, and have been for a long time. But I'd also like to do without nuclear weapons. It's still too radical a measure.

First, we need to deal with Malaya Tokmachka. And then Srednaya... I hope we make it before the star Beltergeuse explodes and destroys the celestial axis.

The main thing for us is to withstand this blow and go on the counteroffensive. We simply have no other options.

So there's a strike, and they're advancing, and since there can't be an offensive without the opposing side retreating, there's a Russian retreat, but why are they so embarrassed to directly report it? The Ukrainian offensive on the front line, plus massive attacks on Russia's strategic facilities, are already... signs of a very serious situation. The "humanitarians" in the Kremlin need a serious kick in the ass immediately, and a war to destroy the enemy must begin.

Trump then got a nice PR boost from Putin in Alaska, citing his supposed peacekeeping activities in Ukraine. No matter how hard Putin tried to curry favor and accommodate Trump with his compromises, it didn't work; he was screwed again.
And Rubio confirmed yesterday that the Americans' words mean absolutely nothing.
Marco Rubio:

At the US-Russia summit in Alaska, there were "only proposals, not agreements" on Ukraine.

So there is nothing to do, nothing to follow, nothing to embody, and nothing to even adhere to.
The spirit of Anchorage turned out to be empty; it's a shame it took so long for our leaders to understand. Personally, I wrote back then that you can't trust a single word Trump says. If you want any results, agreements, or cooperation from the US, cease all contact with them until they lift all sanctions, thereby demonstrating their interest in relations with Russia. Trump's messengers should be kicked out. No US assistance on Iran or other issues, no hesitation in using arms to help the US's enemies... They won't achieve much without us.
Trump called on Zelensky to act more boldly against Russia.
Trump believes that without pressure, Putin will not take any real steps.
Trump has established himself as a "war president."
Trump is a pathological liar and a show-off.

How long did it take for this understanding of reality to sink in, for the Russian leadership? A full four and a half years of brutal war. No, it took considerably longer, 20 or maybe 35 years. Well, thank God, it seems they've finally realized that Ukraine and the Ukrainian population are implacable enemies of Russia and the Russians. So what now? What should we do? Do we have the power and the will to tear Ukraine apart stone by stone? Or is it just another case of blah blah blah...

It's strange that anyone believed this to begin with. Did Trump have written, notarized documents allowing him to negotiate on behalf of a third party? Promise something, exchange something?

Who is Kharchenko anyway and what powers does he have?
Maybe we should ask our neighbor, Grandma Lyuba, what will happen next?

"There will be no peace; Kyiv must disappear."

Let's, before Kyiv disappears, first collapse at least a couple of bridges across the Dnieper...?
What if Kyiv, realizing in time that the neat and unmodern war is over, capitulates itself after this, and it won't have to disappear...?
PS: Still, any bridge across the Dnieper, even if it is large, is noticeably smaller and simpler than Kyiv as an object for disappearance.

  They won't even notice a couple of bridges. But if Kyiv disappears, they might notice, but that's not certain. They're just too stubborn.

    A couple of bridges at once, and against the backdrop of five years of careful and surgical warfare...it will be impossible not to notice. And the West will notice it first. And much faster than the target list of April 15th.
    P.S.: Bridges are an indicator of warfare in the modern sense of the word. As long as they remain intact, the war cannot be considered one.

Seryozhka Lavrov can't believe his eyes. The evil spirit of Anchorage has vanished, but the smell remains, lingering in the corridors of the Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry. How can you believe it? We'll wait for hope to die and for new hope to arise. That's what the power of these worthless, empty-headed, plunderers of the country stands for and will stand for (until they're slapped in the face)!

Hunchback also took everyone's word for it. The result: NATO at the borders, and garrisons evicted from Warsaw Pact countries, camping in tents in the tundra, sand, and fields, along with their families... History repeats itself... It's time to rebuild our lives—enemies all around, and no friends in sight. They could at least take the Israeli army as an example, everyone under arms...
