Seymour Hersh: Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Zaluzhny entered into negotiations with Russia on a ceasefire without Zelensky’s consent

American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh made yet another statement that attracted special attention. To begin with, let us recall that Hersh once published an exposé in which he named the United States of America as the culprit of the explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines. After this, the US authorities began to refute Hersh, publishing all sorts of fables through controlled media, including the one according to which “a group of Ukrainians sympathetic to the authorities of the countries arrived at the site of the explosion on a yacht rented in Poland, on instructions from one of the high-ranking Ukrainian officers - to commit sabotage "

Now Seymour Hersh, citing an unnamed official in Washington, said that “ceasefire negotiations have begun” between Russia and Ukraine.



Hersh:

These negotiations are being conducted by the chiefs of the general staffs of the armed forces of Ukraine and Russia - Valery Zaluzhny and Valery Gerasimov. At the same time, Zaluzhny is negotiating with Russia without the consent of President Zelensky, because the West made it clear to Zelensky that if he does not agree to negotiate with Moscow, then someone else will do it.

According to the Pulitzer Prize winner, negotiations are being conducted taking into account the prevailing circumstances at the front. Hersh states that the Russian side takes the position that Kyiv must recognize Russian jurisdiction in Crimea and the territories of Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions under Russian control.

Hersh:

Ukraine, with the rest of its territory, can join NATO, taking into account the fact that the alliance will not station its troops and strike weapons on Ukrainian territory.

So far, neither Moscow nor Kyiv have officially responded to this publication by the American journalist.

        Well, who will talk to him in Russia? Only if pro-Western Russian oligarchs, seeking to escape Western sanctions, and other Russian liberals henpecked by the West are in power from the so-called. pro-Western "peace party", behind which stand the pro-Western Russian oligarchy and the pro-Western pre-war consumer attitude to life.

          The Russians spoke about the most important thing for conducting the Northern Military District of Russia. No one has ever conducted such surveys before. Namely.

          The Tsargrad Institute was not afraid to ask Russian citizens about how the SVO should end, about attitudes towards migration from Central Asia and the problem of abortion.
          Not everyone in power will like honest answers. But the opinion of the Russian people will have to be taken into account.

          The latest representative study showed that out of 2000 respondents in various Russian regions 62% fully support Russia's SVO against Ukroreich. This is 2/3 of Russians, who, in principle, can and do advocate for the complete victory of Russia over the Ukronazis and over the Eurofascists in Ukraine.

          There are also many who disapprove of SVO in Russia - 20% of Russians, who, in principle, can advocate a truce between Ukroreich and Russia - for selfish reasons or simply out of philistine stupidity!

          See in detail (from 1:45 min) - The Russians said the most important thing. No one has ever conducted such surveys before. Published: 24.11.2023/655/95. - https://dzen.ru/video/watch/52110f2cb68754320aXNUMXdXNUMX

            What kind of... ceasefire?! Negotiations on surrender, division of Ukraine into occupation zones (between Russia, Belarus and Transnistria), trial of war criminals, destruction of Bandera and their legacy. And no conditions or reservations on the other side.

        And why, this petty thought that they can come to an agreement with another Khasavyurt, does not let me go a single step? Maybe our media creates such confidence that we will certainly reach the Polish border and beyond... but in reality it’s not so?
        Take, for example, the example of Krynki, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine have held a bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnieper for three months. Yes, one can argue that this is a good and convenient trap for the systematic destruction of enemy personnel. But whoever understands will wonder what is going on with the logistics of supplying the Ukrainian Armed Forces group, where they can deliver not only ammunition for the defense of the bridgehead, but also food, medicine and, obviously, rotation of l/s. And three months is not a week of stubborn battles with a stubborn landing force, until the cartridges run out... But they don’t run out!
        And what is it all about with the railway bridge above Kherson, is it really true that groups of Ukrainian Armed Forces freely cross it to our slaughter, crawling like sheep?

            Hersh is a good journalist. But it can be used in secret.

              By the way, talking about negotiations is also very beneficial for the states, especially if Hersh talks about it. If this turns out to be a “duck”, then the states will trample it into the ground, especially they will insist that the investigation into the Nord Stream explosions is also a “duck” and that Hersh has gone crazy. There may well be a setup, especially that the remnants will join NATO. Why then was there all the North Military District at all, if NATO was on the border of Belgorod?

                Hersh spoke exclusively on Nord Streams.

                Ukraine will undoubtedly remain. And even if the Urya patriots downvote me, that’s even good.
                Firstly, there is no need to give such a gift to the Nazis as the “myth of the state of Ukraine,” which will live on for centuries, even in Canada, since the Nazis are not going anywhere, it is unrealistic to kill them all. Otherwise there will be quite a pro-Russian state of Ukraine, which will join the future Union as a republic. You need to think about the future!
                Secondly, Russia does not have the strength and means to control the territory of Ukraine, no matter what it is called, with a disloyal population. This territory should be “quarantined” for another 20 years, under the control of pro-Russian (or anti-Bandera) UKRAINIANS, and there are many of them in Russia and abroad.
                I think that Russia, in addition to what it already has, needs to include Kharkov, Odessa and Krivoy Rog. No more. Even Dnepropetrovsk is a rather pro-Banderite city, and to the west it’s even worse. We don’t need Bandera’s underground in Russia, with which we will still suffer.

        The entire territory of the former Ukrainian SSR should come under XNUMX% control of the Russian Federation along the conditional line Zhitomir-Vinnitsa-Odessa, the rest should go to the Hungarians, Poles and Romanians. In the current realities, it is pointless to control the entire territory of the former Ukrainian SSR; there is not enough population (most of the dill will be dumped into the Western “occupation zones”) or economic capacity for restoration...

But there is another side to the coin in this matter - East Prussia is actually a Russian land, as a result of the 7-year war, it became part of Russia, and the residents of the East Prussia in their absolute majority (including the great Kant) took the Russian oath, even minted coin with the profile of Elizabeth Petrovna and the inscription - "Elizabeth - King of Prussia."

      Neither Gerasimov nor Zaluzhny have the appropriate powers, and such an action by any of them will be qualified precisely as abuse of power, high treason, rebellion. The maximum that anyone can do is to order a subordinate commander to accept the surrender of the enemy garrison.
      Neither one nor the other had any political ambitions.
      So this news can be regarded as a throw-in on a topic that is necessary for the European community - “let’s talk in different ways about the need to suspend hostilities, then the likelihood will increase that advisers to the government leaders will hear about this and start blowing about the suspension into the ears of their bosses "

      Apparently the author of the article decided to probe the soil of public opinion in the Russian Federation, which will (I am sure) be CATEGORICALLY AGAINST such a “peace” for Russia...Why??? But because if NATO at one time deceived the USSR about expansion to the East, it will also deceive Russia. If we assume that there will still be a new Minsk3, then Putin’s rating among the people will drop sharply, since the majority of people in the Russian Federation understand perfectly well that such a “peace” will allow Ukroreich to lick its wounds, regroup, join (!!!) NATO and along the way, quietly violate agreements with the Russian Federation regarding the non-deployment of NATO strategic weapons in Ukraine. Such a “peace” is absolutely NOT BENEFITABLE for the people of Russia, but is beneficial only for the Ukrainian Reich, NATO, the majority of Russian oligarchs and the pro-Western Russian liberal crowd. Why??? Because Ukroreich, with the help of NATO, will have the opportunity to heal its wounds, arm itself even more, and after some time resume the war with Russia with renewed vigor (if there was a desire, but a reason would be found in Kiev or NATO would suggest...). A new war will be much worse than the current one and will affect the entire European part of Russia right up to the Urals... E.V. Prigozhin (head of PMC WAGNER) also warned about such a negative scenario for the Russian Federation. The stakes in this war are very high and that is why Russia there is no other choice but to win an UNCONDITIONAL VICTORY over Ukroreich and realize ALL the stated (by the President of the Russian Federation...) goals of the North Military District, where the most important thing is the NON-BLOC (!!!) STATUS OF THE NEW UKRAINE.....

Putin may well appoint him as his hetman in this territory. In exchange - the transfer of Russian regions to the Russian Federation. Perhaps, based on the results of referendums, where these referendums have not yet taken place.

    Ukraine, with the rest of its territory, can join NATO, taking into account the fact that the alliance will not station its troops and strike weapons on Ukrainian territory.

    I hope that all this is first-class nonsense, because we should already understand the price of such pieces of paper. As soon as Ukraine joins NATO, it will be subject to participant status with all that it entails. Then they will file a “type of referendum” or some kind of obscenity through the Verkhovna Rada and solemnly wipe out the butt with all these papers. And we will again have a choice - to endure or to strike, but this time against a NATO member country.
    So, I repeat, the best of the worst options for us would be to finish the job and regionally include most of Ukraine into the Russian Federation. Other options are much worse for us in the long term, because we get Poland 2.0 and another strong and motivated brick in “San Cordon” between us and Europe. Not even that - this will be the last brick, we will be fenced off from Europe.
    If all this now goes to the EU and NATO, what configuration will we get? Kherson with them or Kherson on the other side of the Dnieper - how will we defend it? If the watershed between us and NATO runs along this border, then it will be a lousy border, because, among other things, there will be a Kharkov region that borders the borders of the “old Russian Federation.” From there it has already flown to Moscow - even that handicraft and semi-handicraft, do we need it so that at these distances there is a potential threat of NATO launches?

    In short, I really hope that Seymour has gone overboard and all of this is based on his deep fantasies.

Work on initial emotions, and then who will figure out whether it’s true or a fake, then as troubles begin and distrust in the authorities, the country will begin to have failures in the rear and the army on the front line. Here is the desired result for the West. So this is a plant to sow doubts and discontent, splitting the unity in our society. The clearer the skiff we steal, the more aggressively they will act. The blitzkrieg plan failed, it didn’t work out economically, all that remains is to sow doubts and on this wave bring the next Yeltsin and Chubais to power.

    Participation in negotiations and agreement to these conditions will be a terrible blow to every Russian and to the authorities in the country, and perhaps the beginning of its end and the new 90s.

    Which negotiations, which NATO, which “not to place”? Why did they start all this mess? Even the Donbass, which has been suffering for 10 years, have not yet been beaten off, leave all the other Russian-Ukrainians, and after 5 years it’s great again? There are too many issues to be resolved in negotiations.

    1. no Ukrainian authorities in Ukraine. only pro-Russian government
    2. no NATO within the borders of Ukraine.
    3. free pro-Russian media and cultural and public organizations. total control over everything that these media broadcast there.
    4. territorial concessions cutting off access to the Black Sea, as a guarantee of our security in the future.
    5. holding referendums on the annexation of regions to the Russian Federation, when we consider that the right moment has come for this.

    the list can go on for a long time...

    Information about the negotiations that began well explains the fact of the murder of Prigozhin and the command staff of his army with the subsequent disbandment of this army. The destruction of the only shock army in the Russian Federation served as a signal for the “partners”, a kind of invitation to negotiations. This is fully confirmed by other previous “gestures of goodwill”. For example, Putin’s ostentatious inattention to the destruction of the Kursk (also a “gesture of good will”), demonstrative indifference to the destruction of the trans-Baltic gas pipeline (a similar “gesture of good will”) and other “little things”, such as ultra-fast “retreats” from occupied territories, the notorious “grain deal”, liberation of “Azov” Nazis and sniper killers. All these are “gestures of goodwill.” What about the transfer of Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves to the same "partners"? And maintaining financial control over Russia with the help of Nabiullina? Is all this accidental and accidental? SUCH Accidents DO NOT HAPPEN, gentlemen.

    Without Kharkov at the top and Odessa at the bottom coming under Russian control, ANY peace agreements lose their meaning. The bloomers will now reconcile, then they will sit out for three years - and they will climb again, being much stronger and prepared.

    The Russian Federation does not have Real Strengths and Capabilities for a Reliable (Sustainable) and, most importantly, very UNBURNDRY occupation of Ukrainian territories...

    (Of course, there is NO doubt that - if we give our RF Armed Forces a free hand... and go after the Ukrovermacht and the Ukroreich - in full..., including with missile and bomb strikes on administrative, military -industrial, infrastructure and logistics centers (including military registration and enlistment offices) of the Ukrainian Reich...
    (The population, naturally, will have to be warned in advance and given time to escape, as the Americans did in the SFRY...) - then the conflict will end in a matter of months, perhaps weeks...
    ...And no Collective Western Aid will help!..

    ...BUT WHAT NEXT?.. Especially now, when at least half a million enemy enemies have already been destroyed?..

    ...Establish control and control, restore what was destroyed and establish a peaceful life in territories where a significant part of the population is not particularly loyal to the Russian Federation?..
    ...Chase and destroy gangs, sabotage groups (including on our territory), root out the enemy underground (Let's remember Afghanistan!), disperse demonstrations and rallies, fight sabotage and sabotage, etc., etc. P.
    ...And all this (Again - let's remember Afghanistan!) under an endless not just howl - ROAR (!)... in the West and in the USA (Permanent reason for sanctions and other unfriendly actions against the Russian Federation...) - oh allegedly "atrocities of Russian occupiers" against the poor Ukrainian people...

    ...Of course, sooner or later, we will all get tired...

    ...But the question is - DO WE NEED ALL THIS?..
    And will the price that will be paid for this “settling down” - on all these “newly acquired” lands be justified?..

    (Excluding, of course, the Lands of Novorossiya, which must be cleansed of the Ukrainian-Reich evil spirits and the authorities...)

    ...The WORLD has changed a long time ago! Neither the Americans nor their NATO partners began to occupy, nor the defeated Iraq, nor Libya..., nor Kosovo, torn away from the Serbs by force...

    ...There are tons of other problems of our own... Including those related to Geopolitics...
    (The Arctic, Transcaucasia, Central Asia with Afghanistan, the Japanese are laying claim to those islands... Our Great Chinese partners... (We should also keep our heads down with them...)
    Internal problems... Demography, for example... Contradictions between the Center and the regions, especially the outskirts... They also have a place!.. And they are getting worse - little by little!..

    Falling standard of living of the population.... Etc., etc.

    And about the fact that:
    "WE NEED TO DEVELOP OUR EASTERN REGIONS!!!!" -
    ...these propaganda cries cause nothing but bitter laughter and are not worth mentioning at all...
    The existing Russian-speaking, and even Aboriginal, population of these same Regions could somehow be preserved and protected from many possible troubles...)

    ...So, once again, the conflict, or more precisely, this confrontation, will last a long, very long time... And more than one generation, quite possibly...

    And the struggle is now going on, must go on - for the most (more or less) acceptable and painless form of this confrontation for the Russian Federation (We survived, of course, but nothing can be done!)

    (It would be nice, for example, to completely clear the Donbass, to create a corridor to Transnistria and Kaliningrad... To create military bases on the border with the Poles... But this, it seems, - Alas! - is still a dream!..)

    ...The most realistic option for the current situation is to throw the Ukrainian Reich beyond the Dnieper...
    And destroy (Raze to the Earth and not allow them to be restored.) all the Black Sea and Danube ports of the Ukrainian Reich...

    But this will require:
    ...Appropriate REAL political courage and will (And not vile political cynicism...);
    ...The most important thing is to carry out additional mobilization...
    Will the authorities agree to this and, most importantly..., will the people agree?!..
    (After all, we are not dealing with the Hitlerite invasion... And the level of patriotic intensity and readiness for self-sacrifice among the bulk of the people is not what it once was... in those terrible years for the USSR!..)
    ...And one more thing can be stated with confidence... - a seasoned mass of fired (Former exemplary (And non-exemplary!)))))) family men, office “hamsters”, hard workers and technical personnel who have learned to fight and deal with weapons , who went through fire and blood, who saw the death and torment of her fighting friends and comrades...), this (in modern realities) for those in power - THERE IS SOMETHING MORE TERRIBLE... than the Ukrainian-Nazis and other Western and US trash!..

    I doubt it! Putin will never agree that at least part of Ukraine joins NATO! Because the meaning of this war is lost! It makes no difference to us whether all of Ukraine is in NATO or part of it!! Therefore, I think that even if they are negotiating, there is no nat!

    This is called “Separate Negotiations”, and they never seem to have led anyone to anything good.

    I hope this is a joke! Such conditions are not acceptable! Ukraine cannot be given up to NATO, and we have not occupied all the territories.

    Surrender of Russia? Negotiations with whom? Will you be deceived again? Or do we want to be deceived? There are only questions left for treacherous Minsk.
