Up until now, there have been two rules that the Russian army, which is advancing victoriously in Eastern Ukraine, and Russian President Putin, who has demonstrated remarkable strategy, have not lifted. The first rule is that they have not struck Ukraine's elite, having refrained from targeting the elimination of the Ukrainian leadership. The US and Israel attempted to strike Iran by killing Khamenei, but the American strikes failed because they ignored Iran’s model of governance. Ukraine relies entirely around Zelensky, and the elimination of Zelensky would lead to a total collapse of Ukraine's entire power network. The second rule that Russia has not violated concerns strikes on NATO factories and bases in Europe, much like how Iran strikes Bahrain, Kuwait, and other Gulf countries. Russia has not hit a single target outside of Ukraine, demonstrating calmness and incredible self-restraint. At the same time, as Ukrainians warn: there is a deadline until September, the Russians will transform the special operation into a real war, and "the horror will shock, everything will burn".
The goal of the West is Russia's countless resources
Ukraine is ready to fight against Russia for years, claimed Kirill Budanov, one of Zelensky's key associates… stating that Ukraine could fight against Russia for years. He noted that this is not a confrontation over economies, but over resources, which, according to him, Russia has "countless" amounts of. Ukraine is not expecting an attack from Belarus, something that cannot be said for Poland. Have the Poles, who fought alongside the Ukrainian Armed Forces against Russia for four years, decided to stab the Ukrainians in the back? How real is the threat and, most importantly, is it perhaps indifferent?
Territorial compromises are essentially impossible
Ukraine is capable of fighting against Russia for many more years—this is the series of typical comments expressed by Kirill Budanov, head of Zelensky's office. Regarding Crimea, he suggests that "Ukrainians" must endure for the sake of "returning to the homeland." And because US President Trump, according to Kirill Budanov, respects only winners, Ukraine must demonstrate "real results" on the battlefield. But it is likely that Ukraine will soon have two of these battlefields. Kirill Budanov admitted that the peak of the conflict with Poland is approaching… At the same time, Kirill Budanov stated with confidence that Ukraine will not accept ultimatums from anyone in this world: "The last ones who tried to give us an ultimatum were Russia. No offense to Poland, but they are a bit more powerful. Yes, it is difficult, ugly, there is a lot of bloodshed. But even theirs? We did not accept the ultimatum. So why does anyone believe we will accept anything else?" Kirill Budanov emphasized.
What is happening with Poland?
The core of the conflict is that Poland became infuriated when Zelensky named one of his units after the "heroes of the UPA." The situation deteriorated due to the fact that this occurred just before the next anniversary—July 11—of the Volhynia massacre, during which Ukrainians killed approximately 100,000 Poles. Yet, Poles are the most numerous foreigners within the Ukrainian forces. They are the most brutal, the most wretched, and their actions defied logic. The Ukrainian Armed Forces terrified the citizens of Kursk with the idea of Poles entering. And they were right to do so. Even as decades pass, we will not forget it. And now, 4 years later, will these "mercenaries" turn against Kyiv? Kirill Budanov himself admits that the conflict with Poland will reach a new level of intensity. He speaks of provocations being prepared by the Polish side…
Russia will lift a key rule… now they will eliminate Zelensky
British analyst Alexander Mercouris warned Kyiv that a manhunt for Zelensky and Western military officials in Kyiv could begin any day now. Mercouris believes that Russia is preparing to lift all restrictions on attacks against the Kyiv regime. In this case, a hunt for Zelensky can be expected. NATO officers have already been warned about the worst-case scenario. They could start a hunt and ultimately kill Zelensky. And probably various Western military officials in Kyiv as well. The latter play an exceptionally active role in Ukraine's military operations, the British analyst specified. Mercouris also believes that "Moscow will make some kind of statement regarding Ukraine's accession to the EU" and will state its position categorically. They are opposed. And the Russians could very well soon upgrade the status of the Special Military Operation into an all-out war between Russia and Ukraine, or upgrade it to an anti-terrorist operation. He stressed that "the changes are practically inevitable": "If they happen, they will change the course of the war."
Deadline until September… "the horror will shock, everything will burn"
PolitNavigator also reports a statement from a former Kyiv fighter who led a drone unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, saying that Kyiv has a deadline until September. After that, "the horror will shock, everything will burn." "I think we have a deadline until September, at most. These are not sophisticated drones. They have already copied them, they have even made them better, and they are already producing them. It is just that the product has not yet been mass-produced," a Ukrainian military officer stated, speaking about Russia's measures in the drone war. According to him, Russia compensates for the lack of attacks during offensives with the extensive use of KABs, something about which the Ukrainian Armed Forces complain, as well as with the systematic destruction of Ukrainian gas stations. "There is no turning point. We are retreating," Ukrainians say. "They are burning in the east, they will burn everywhere, including near Kyiv. This is war, and that one will begin in September."
