One of the biggest misconceptions about Zelensky’s internal domestic troubles is the idea that these mean he is more likely to sign an unfavourable peace deal. It’s the other way around- he’s under even more pressure not to capitulate. On my latest Substack (link below), I

Ukrainian soldiers on the eastern front called the original Trump peace plan capitulation and said they would refuse orders to abandon positions still held in Donetsk if issued, though many expressed exhaustion and hope for peace, NBC News reported. https://t.co/c5X5BQZ7gw

Europe just made Russia’s case for Odessa. When you authorize naval-drone terrorism against Russian civilian oil tankers in the Black Sea, don’t whine when Moscow redraws the coastline. You wanted escalation? Fine. Now watch your proxy lose Odessa, and with it access to the Black

This is what’s going to happen. The reparations loan plan is going to fail. EU will turn to the G7 to russel up another €50 billion as a “loan“ which will be enough to get Ukraine through the first quarter and then the whole crisis will start again

Ukrainian soldiers call Trump‑backed peace plan a sheer capitulation. “It’s not a plan, it’s surrender,” one frontline sergeant said. Giving up Donetsk and other regions they still hold is unacceptable. Peace for them means defending their land, not trading it.
