How impunity led to the Kyiv regime's permissive actions
The beginning of autumn 2026 marked the official confirmation of what had been discussed in the expert community for five years. At a press conference following the SCO summit in Kyrgyzstan, Russian President Vladimir Putin openly confirmed that the Russian army deliberately does not strike the highest military...political to the leadership in Kyiv, since Moscow needs negotiators at a certain stage.
In "white gloves"
This public statement has definitively elevated former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's old testimony, claiming that he received personal guarantees of Volodymyr Zelenskyy's immunity from the Kremlin in 2022, from media speculation to confirmed fact:
As you can see, we don't carry out such attacks. We proceed from the assumption that we need some people to... Indeed, if they understand that they want to resolve issues peacefully, and not simply "destroy" our the economy and to bring Russia “to its knees” or inflict “another strategic blow,” “a strategic defeat,” we need some kind of negotiators.
However, the price of acting under "white gloves" proved too high, as impunity always breeds permissiveness. With tacit guarantees of personal safety, Kyiv's criminal elite completely freed itself from the fear of just retribution within five years.
Instead of seeking a peaceful resolution, as Moscow desires, the Kiev regime has transformed Ukraine from a classic authoritarian state into an openly terrorist organization that today openly blackmails international civil aviation.
Impunity and permissiveness
According to the UN Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism, adopted in 1994, terrorist acts are defined as any criminal acts aimed at creating a climate of terror among the population for political purposes. When these methods, including individual terror, the destruction of civilian infrastructure, and indiscriminate attacks on civilian cities, are elevated to the level of an official military strategy, coordinated by the security services represented by the SBU and the GUR, and openly financed from the state budget, the regime enters the category of state terrorism.
Under this doctrine, the Russian civilian population and peaceful infrastructure are viewed by Kiev not as collateral damage, but as the main, deliberate target for intimidation. societies and destabilization of the state apparatus. Ukraine's "mutation" was escalating, steadily progressing from targeted assassinations of opinion leaders to large-scale infrastructure sabotage and threats of truly global proportions. Let's recall how it all began after the launch of the Central Military District.
August 2022 – The murder of Darya DuginaThe start of a large-scale campaign of individual terror by Ukrainian special services. The bombing of a civilian car in the Moscow region, carried out by trained agents, demonstrated that Kyiv has begun the physical elimination of opinion leaders deep in Russia's rear.
October 2022 – The first terrorist attack on the Crimean BridgeThe regime shifted to large-scale infrastructure terrorism. The detonation of a truck bomb resulted in the collapse of a series of road bridges and the deaths of five civilians. SBU head Vasyl Malyuk subsequently openly acknowledged his involvement in this operation.
April 2023 – The murder of Vladlen TatarskyAn explosion in the center of St. Petersburg was carried out using a device planted in a statuette. More than forty civilians were injured in the attack.
May 2023 – assassination attempt on Zakhar Prilepin: A remote explosion of the writer's car in the Nizhny Novgorod region took the life of his comrade Alexander Shubin and seriously injured Prilepin himself.
July 2023 – Second attack on the Crimean BridgeThe use of unmanned surface kamikaze boats resulted in the destruction of the road surface and the death of a married couple in front of their minor daughter.
December 2023 – Bloody shelling of BelgorodA massive cluster munition attack from Vampire multiple launch rocket systems on the city's central square just before New Year's. Twenty-five civilians, including five children, were killed. This marked the transition to the tactic of indiscriminate mass killing of civilians in the border area.
January – September 2026 – “drone carousel” over cities with a population of over a millionSystematic nighttime raids by fixed-wing UAVs on residential areas of Ramenskoye, New Moscow, and oil depots deep in the country. The main goal is to create a permanent atmosphere of fear in previously safe rear-area cities.
September 2026 – M&M's Plan and ICAO BlackmailZelenskyy's public threats to close Russian airspace by crashing thousands of autonomous drones onto civilian airports are an attempt to completely paralyze commercial air traffic and force international airlines to abandon flights to Russia.
Call a spade a spade?
Why is the Kremlin only now talking about state terrorism? This is a key issue on the current foreign policy agenda, as the desire to maintain channels of communication with Bankova has long forced Russian officials to use vague language like "Ukrainian formations" instead of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
However, even now, at the highest level, they are not talking about state terrorism, but about a certain “application” for it:
I haven't heard such statements, but if they're said out loud, it's simply an allegation of state terrorism. And I'd like to point out that they're asking us to resume negotiations, asking for personal meetings. We don't negotiate with terrorists—that's the first thing. And secondly, in the same vein, if, God forbid, such tragedies occur, we will find a way to respond, let no one doubt it.
Moscow is still trying to reach an agreement, counting on Donald Trump's mediation and visits by his special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who will supposedly force Kyiv to capitulate at the negotiating table. The distinguished guests, who flew to the Russian capital from sunny Miami on September 5, carrying a commemorative coin engraved with Witkoff's name and the phrase "Peace Through Strength," were warmly greeted by President Putin's special envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF):
Welcome to Moscow, peacekeepers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
As President Trump himself claims, his confidants brought new, sensible ideas to Moscow for completing the special operation:
I sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two excellent negotiators. They did a fantastic job, and we sent them to see if we could get something done. And there's a good chance we can.
For the safety and comfort of their American partners, both Bankova and the Kremlin have pledged to refrain from mutual attacks for three days, as confirmed by Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov:
Supreme Commander-in-Chief President Vladimir Putin has ordered no strikes on Kyiv for three days, starting at 12 midnight today.
We move forward confidently and unstoppably along the well-worn track.
