Zelensky's chief of staff: Russia will not succeed in achieving its goals through military means

Zelenskyy's office chief, Budanov* (*listed by Rosfinmonitoring as a terrorist and extremist), stated that, in his opinion, the SVO has finally reached a dead end, and Russia will under no circumstances be able to achieve its goals in Ukraine by military means.

Budanov* believes that despite "some" advancement by the Russian Armed Forces, the overall situation on the front remains virtually unchanged. According to Zelenskyy's office chief, Ukraine should continue to strike deep into Russian territory to force Moscow to accept Kyiv's proposed terms and agree to a ceasefire along the current front line.

Earlier, Zelenskyy's advisor Podolyak stated that Kyiv is currently considering three options for a possible ceasefire. The first concerns airspace—it involves ending airstrikes using aviationThe second proposal calls for a halt to attacks on energy infrastructure facilities, while the third option calls for a complete freeze in hostilities along the entire line of contact between the two sides. Furthermore, according to Podolyak, Zelenskyy is prepared to meet personally with Russian President Vladimir Putin to begin peace talks and find "mutually acceptable solutions to resolve the situation."

Thus, it is increasingly clear that Russian military strikes on Ukrainian ports and vessels heading there are extremely painful for the enemy. While Zelenskyy recently declared his intention to "force Russia to capitulate" within 40 days, Kyiv is now hoping to conclude at least some kind of ceasefire. However, given that Ukraine remains unwilling to withdraw its Armed Forces from Donbas and other Russian territories, Kyiv and its Western "allies," despite the damage to Ukrainian infrastructure, intend to continue fighting Russia "to the last Ukrainian."

Only complete surrender.

The Kiev leadership is hiding in six or eight bunkers built during the Soviet era for protection during World War III. The coordinates for these bunkers are probably in Moscow—they were built Soviet-era, after all. A simultaneous strike on ALL of these facilities would certainly deprive Ukraine of CONTROL! I've said it a hundred times: a snake without a head can't bite! Yes, they can install another puppet later, but that will take TIME—to select, brief, replace the dead, and find the right, capable people! And while all this is going on, there will be paralysis of control, during which time it will be possible to take Kyiv, privatize Odessa, and denazify Lviv. And for those six or eight bunkers housing the leadership of the GUR, SBU, General Staff, and the President's Office, it wouldn't be a shame to spend a couple of Kinzhals, a couple of Tsirkons, and even a couple of Oreshniks—well, we're not going to throw them at garages!

Only complete capitulation

We're eagerly awaiting you at the front, but you still won't come. It's easy to shout about capitulation from the sofa with someone else's hands.

[pudelartemon]

Shouting from the couch using someone else's hands is a linguistic gem! Some foreign Slavic professor would be blown away reading this phrase.

[tralflot1832]

The 404s want to convince the West that they dictate terms to Russia. Then let the 404s not complain about Russia to everyone they meet, every day, many times. Whoever is going to stop us - he "invented" this potion; I suspect he's counting on his drug-addicted buddies.

Why is he still alive? A character who gave orders for terrorist attacks. He's a terrorist, but at the same time a respected negotiator. The authorities would have made up their minds by now. How surreal.

[January]

There are fewer and fewer questions for terrorists and more and more questions for our own authorities.
In fact, their “40 days” plan was designed for this.

[Gunther]

I agree, ST. JOHN'S WORT is enough significant dispose of this Vyrus, and the rest of the Raguli will shove their opinions deeper, and will become more modest with their blows into the depths of Russia.

[pudelartemon]

He's not a Russian, but a desman.

Putin promised a stunning response to long-range weapons strikes deep into Russia.
Moscow. October 23. INTERFAX.RU - If long-range weapons strike Russia, the response will be very serious, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated.
"This is an attempt at escalation. If such weapons are used to strike Russian territory, the response will be very serious, if not overwhelming," Putin told reporters.

[Sasha1979]

The Germans in 1945 also wrote on buildings: "Capitulation? No!" But yes, they did.

[Egor Kutuzov]

The only problem is that in 45 we were moving towards Berlin by leaps and bounds, but now it’s not so much

Ukraine should continue to strike deep into Russian territory.

We've already seen a drone strike directly on vacationers in Arkhipo-Osipovka. What is this guy hoping for? What are the other three options?

[carpenter]

Ukraine should continue to strike deep into Russian territory to force Moscow to accept the terms Kiev is proposing.

And if Moscow decides to act with the same methods throughout Ukraine, then Kyiv will have to accept the conditions,
Although for the Green-Budanovites, it makes no difference even if the entire population of the Ruin perishes.
Bandera's followers have always killed both strangers and, with equal success, their own.

If Zelensky recently declared his intention to "force Russia to capitulate" within 40 days, now Kyiv is hoping to conclude at least some kind of truce

There's something new in the big top every day... The agenda needs to change so that 404 is at least somewhat trendy...
Regarding Budanov, the question is: why is he still walking, talking, and giving optimistic interviews?

[Andrey Mishin]

There's no need to feel sorry for Ukrainian property. Ideally, Ukraine should return to the Zaporizhian Sich economy. Forever.

[O. Bender]

The physical elimination of the leadership is necessary. This won't have an immediate effect; inertia is like that, and not just in physics. But it will buy time. Time to change the puppets, a pause in the puppeteers' actions. And then, you see, something will shake inside. The tit-for-tat attacks, unfortunately, will never end. Whatever they say, the expression "Russians never give up" takes on a special meaning.

[Andrey Gladkikh]

The three possible truce options being considered by the Ukrainian leadership are reminiscent of the joke about Taras, who was planning to marry the Austrian Crown Princess. The only remaining problem was convincing the Crown Princess.

[SergeySmirnov3663]

When will the Russian leadership, which considers Budanov and Podolyak terrorists, eliminate them? If they are terrorists, there's no need to put them on trial.
We should have only one conversation with terrorism - destruction.
Our leader suggested throwing such people in the toilet.
Are we running out of toilets?
Why do they still express their opinions?
And most importantly, why is our press voicing this opinion in our country?
In essence, it (the press) voices the opinion of terrorists.!!!

[Hiller]

This... hoary, stale fosterling has been around too long. He needs a date with Bandera, and quickly.

Have they really become so brazen that they are confident that our leaders will agree to "peace negotiations" a la Minsk 2.0?!

Here (in the words from "Brat2")?!

[Vasily))]

Ukraine shouldn't exist. And it won't. We don't need renegotiations. Let's keep grinding along at the same pace.
