Thanks. Those are three links to the singular story, of course, in a report of one interview with Danilov.

Also reported is this: "... Whether Danilov was articulating actual Ukrainian policy to push the front line 300 miles back to Moscow, or if he was speaking metaphorically, or exaggerating for effect is not made clear in the Sun report...."

I would call it hyperbole, never implied nor uttered by Zelensky, myself. But I'll grant that Danilov probably did say it. And it was not wise of him.

Let's just say it's setting a high bar for opening rounds of negotiating posture.

More “reasonable” demands which are public record include:

-expulsion of Russia from Ukraine pre war boundaries

-Russia’s withdrawal from Crimea

-Nuremberg style war crimes tribunals

-Putin’s removal

Restitution including the complete rebuilding of Ukraine.

These are terms Ukraine wishes to dictate to Moscow.

I'm a bit skeptical that if this goes on much longer the Ukraine will be in any position to dictate terms of any sort to Russia.

I can see a future where the Ukraine could be on their knees begging Russia to accept terms short of total surrender.
