LOL, zerohedge?
Kyiv is willing to discuss the future of Crimea with Moscow if its forces reach the border of the Russian-occupied peninsula, a top adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told the Financial Times.
The comments by Andriy Sybiha, deputy head of Zelenskyy’s office, are the most explicit statement of Ukraine’s interest in negotiations since it cut off peace talks with the Kremlin last April.
“If we will succeed in achieving our strategic goals on the battlefield and when we will be on the administrative border with Crimea, we are ready to open [a] diplomatic page to discuss this issue,” Sybiha said, referring to Kyiv’s long-planned counteroffensive.
He added: “It doesn’t mean that we exclude the way of liberation [of Crimea] by our army.”
Who’s been more correct about the trends of this conflict? The US and NATO propaganda organs or the Russians?
By far the Russians have been correct many more times than the West.
Looking at the pro-Uke battle map

shows me the Russians have now taken about 5/8 to 2/3rds of Bakhmut. The fall of this city is very close.
I can see why the Ukes are ready to give up. Once this city falls as well as Avdiivka(it’s almost completely surrounded) and the mud dries out a Russian offensive will commence.
