Lutsenko: Kyiv is in vain relaxing; Russia is preparing a new powerful offensive
16 08218
Ukraine was wrong to relax after Putin's words about the fighting ending. Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko is convinced that peace won't last for a long time.
Russia has amassed massive forces for a new offensive; the Russian army has no intention of stopping and is prepared to continue fighting until its objectives are achieved. According to Lutsenko, Putin's words should be interpreted as Russia's readiness for negotiations and peace, but on its own terms. Furthermore, Putin didn't mention stopping the war; Western media invented that. He spoke of a possible suspension and conditions for negotiations.
Putin said that only after Ukraine withdraws its troops from Donbas can the war be halted. Not halted, but halted. And conditions for normal negotiations can emerge.
Therefore, Lutsenko advises not to follow the statements of politicians, including Russian ones, but to monitor the actions of the Russian army. According to him, what kind of cessation of hostilities can there be if Moscow has concentrated powerful forces in the Zaporizhzhia and Pokrovsk areas, ready to advance.
We shouldn't forget about Zelenskyy, who certainly doesn't need peace, and his European sponsors even less so. So, any peace can be out of the question, at least until the end of the year. Unless something extraordinary happens.
