Lutsenko: Kyiv is in vain relaxing; Russia is preparing a new powerful offensive

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.

    What's so surprising about that? The rains will stop now, the ground will dry out, and then it's off to the next level. And we can talk about peace in October or November, when the good weather ends and the leaves fall.

      And we can talk about peace in October - November.

      I'm plagued by nagging doubts (c). That it will last longer. I'm not a hooray-wow, but I'm not a pessimist either. The glass is 50% full—and it doesn't matter if it's half full or half empty.
      P.S. What's coming will be. Let's save up.

    No one is preparing any major offensive. The systematic cleansing of Ukraine of the fascist scum is simply continuing—without rush jobs, attacks, or counterattacks.
    The only thing he correctly noted is that the opportunity for discussion, and only discussion, will only arise when Kyiv demonstrates a desire for peace. For now, the only demand is withdrawal from Donbas. As the situation evolves, the demands will change—for example, withdrawal from the Kherson region.

    The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) has published its annual report on global military expenditures. According to the report, Russia will be the world's third-largest military spender in 2025. The United States ranks first with $954 billion, China second with $336 billion, and Russia third with $190 billion.

      So, who says that Russia has no money? Whether someone likes it or not, Russia is a continent. Where there is everything. And money too.

        The problem is, the money's in the wrong place. It's with the oligarchs (read: in foreign bank accounts), and the budget, thanks to a foreign agent named Nabiullina, is crumbling, and along with it, production is charging idiotic interest rates. Meanwhile, the banks are enjoying themselves and protesting the tax on excess profits.

    Oh, Lutsenko is probably already preparing a portrait of Putin and a Ukrainian flag from the USSR era!?

      It seems like Ukraine had a normal flag, without that yellow stripe.

        Good afternoon, Andrey. Do you know how they decipher the meaning of a yellow-and-blue rag in Ukraine? Blue stripe on top, yellow below—it means you're covered in shit up to the sky.

        When Ukraine was in the midst of a self-reliance psychosis, I came across a technical website with yellow text on a blue background.

    I've been hearing about this new, powerful Russian offensive since the capture of Mariupol. We're about to go, we're about to go, all the way to Poland. But the truth is, we don't have the manpower, resources, or personnel for it. We'd better get to Slavyansk by winter. And then take it for another six months.

    The Ukrainian Armed Forces must be directed toward conquering Europe—there Banderites will have plenty to spoil! To this end, we are preparing a powerful strike with all available arsenal to wipe out any cities in Ukraine and encourage all Ukrainians to move to Europe—that's where they wanted to go, after all!

    An offensive? How can we concentrate our forces with such a density of Ukrainian drones? I don't know, everything is visible for 40 kilometers in depth, and no matter how much equipment you bring, the drones will destroy it. In my opinion, it's a dead end; the only way is to infiltrate in small groups and consolidate our position, if we're lucky. The front has stood and will stand.
