Ukraine war briefing: Russia preparing for fresh offensives not a ceasefire, Zelenskyy says
The Guardian ^ | Mon 11 Aug 2025 | Mon 11 Aug 2025

Posted on 08/11/2025 9:09:44 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Russia is preparing its troops for new offensives instead of getting ready to stop the war in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday, ahead of talks between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Alaska on Friday. “[Putin] is certainly not getting ready for a ceasefire and war end,” the Ukrainian president said in his nightly address. He added, without providing specifics, that Russia was moving its troops for new operations on Ukrainian soil. “There is no sign that the Russians have received signals to prepare for a postwar situation.”

Zelensky says……blah, blah, blah….
He’s basically a coward like his Europeon buddies.

Zelenskyy is trying to stir the pot, hoping Trump does not get a breakthrough with Putin.

Don’t care what Z says, Putin has a history of playing Trump. He is just stringing things along. He has in the past. Maybe this time it is different. I doubt it though.

If I'm Trump, I'll tell Putin that I'm inviting Zelensky to the meeting in Alaska.

Agree to the ceasefire first.

It's possible that they won't agree to end the war. Technically the Korean War did not end. But they did agree to stop fighting in Korea.

Given what Vance said today the 15th is going to be very interesting.

There exists an array of people who wander through the internet to find things that say what they want to hear, and you can certainly find those things if you look hard enough.

In this case, what I’m talking about are YouTube channels devoted to informing those who searched them out that the Ukrainian military is completely dominant and all of the lines drawn on graphs are propaganda that Western media foolishly listens to. Russian casualties are in the millions. Maybe even tens of millions. And people will see this because that’s what they want to see and that will inform them as to what will happen in Alaska.

They imagine that Putin is arriving in a begging posture, asking Trump to find a way out for him. They imagine that Putin is aware that the Ukrainian military can burst forward and arrive in Moscow in a couple of days and Putin is going to beg Trump to prevent that from happening.

There really are people who have persuaded themselves of this.

Perhaps a more reasonable perspective is equivalent to the presidential campaign and debates, and who is asking for debates and who is refusing them. The equivalent is the ceasefire. Who is begging for it and who is not.

“Z” continued....Don’t tell anyone, but I’m doing the same. It’s a little game we play. Putin thinks I’m dancing the night away.

“THE END OF THE UKRAINE WAR HERE! Trump and Vance Just Announced The End Of The Ukraine Russia War For The United States. If Zelensky does not accept the Trump Peace Plan That Russia has already agreed to, the US will pull all military support from Ukraine dooming the NATO puppet state and it’s dictator Zelensky to total defeat.”

Russia is steamrolling Ukraine, has been, and will continue to do so. There will be no ceasefire until little Z capitulates or dies.

DJT is sitting down with Putin to compare notes and get to the bottom of the Russia Russia Russia hoax, the Ukraine Biden Burisma hoax, and all the other deep state dirty tricks that have occurred the last ten years.

Zelensky will not agree to any peace deal. His political power declines with peace and the grift cash cow moves to another pasture. He doesn’t want peace. He’s the Mussolini of our time, too inept to stop a war because he thinks he’s the genius who can outsmart everyone, even more inept when conducting one.
