'Deluded' Zelensky blasted as closest aide claims Ukraine is 'not winning' war with Russia
UK Express ^ | Thu, Nov 2, 2023 | MATTHEW DOOLEY

Ukraine is “not winning” its war against Russia, according to a close advisor of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Despite the difficult situation on the ground, Zelensky’s belief in an outright Ukrainian victory is said to be unmovable, according to a new report by Time.

The close aide said: “He deludes himself. We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.”

Zelensky is said to feel abandoned by the West which he believes has provided Ukraine with enough support to stop Russia but not to outright win the war.

he President is dead set against a truce or peace deal with Moscow that involves giving up territory and recent surveys show most of the population of Ukraine agrees.

Speaking to the outlet, he said: “For us, it would mean leaving this wound open for future generations.

“Maybe it will calm some people down inside our country, and outside, at least those who want to wrap things up at any price. But for me, that’s a problem, because we are left with this explosive force. We only delay its detonation.”

Zelensky sees Ukraine as preventing a wider war which could spread across Europe and around the world. In his words, “a third world war”.

Still, despite launching a counteroffensive in June, Ukraine has failed to take back a significant amount of occupied territory.

The time to have stopped this was before it started. We missed that opportunity.

Anonymous source for Time article is Oleksiy Arestovych. Fired for corruption. Sour grapes.

Dem strategy, blame the defeat on the republicans for not passing funding in Congress.

Yes, they can’t all be such unimpeachable globalist sources such as Denys “Draft Dodger” Davydov.

The war was supposed to be over in weeks. No matter what happens, they won a long time ago.

I’ve heard that Zelensky has ordered General Steiner to counterattack the Russians. Zelensky then said that Steiner’s counterattack will save the day.

Seems deliberate to me. Everything seems to be headed towards WWIII.
I will gladly be wrong.

HAHAHAHAHA!

I always think of him as 'CIA asset Davydov'. He gives 'round the clock granular reports on specific troop (dis)information that he simply couldn't get from his location in Sweden or friends. I think 'straight-from-the-Azov-Nazi-propaganda-wing' to Davydov, to YOUTUBE, and then it's rushed to FR by the fake 'reverend' aka 'Mom.'

We all know this. Ukraine can’t get recruits anymore. And they have lost almost 500K casualties. They do not have a ready military that can suffer those kinds of losses. And as fast as we send them APCs, Bradleys, Humvees and artillery they get blown up and become losses.

Putting this in the Daily Express means that the Regime has totally given up on Ukraine.
