Russian Snipers Opinion Of Trump & His Ukraine War Peace plan

We will lose the war if this continues: we do not have the means to change the trajectory of events’ 

– Kuleba continues to give interviews left and right.

‘It is true that things are bad on the battlefield. But in the first months of 2022, things are even worse. What I hate in my conversations with European and American experts – and ‘hate’ is a word I usually do not use – is that everyone asks what Ukraine is ready to do, what Ukraine is ready to accept. And I say, guys, first find the answer to the question of what Putin is ready to accept. And his goal is clear. He must destroy the Ukrainian state one way or another… His logic is: why should I take a part if I can eventually take the whole?’

Putin has made his terms for peace rather clear. 

Trump’s special representative’s plan for Ukraine includes a phased lifting of sanctions against Russia – CNN.

▪️This measure is planned as an incentive for Moscow to participate in negotiations to end the war. Keith Kellogg himself voiced the plan back in April.

➖”The front lines will be frozen by a ceasefire and a demilitarized zone will be introduced. For agreeing to this, Russia will receive limited sanctions relief, and full relief will come only after signing a peace agreement that suits Ukraine,” CNN reports.

Or… keep fighting as Ukrainian lines are crumbling.

Zelensky is ready to end the war and exchange territories for NATO membership.

▪️”If we want to stop the hot phase of the war, we need to take the territory of Ukraine, which is under our control, under the NATO umbrella,” Zelensky told Sky TV channel.

▪️Ukraine’s accession to NATO will put an end to the “hot phase of the war” and will subsequently help to negotiate with the Russian Federation on the return of territories “by diplomatic means.”

▪️This is Zelensky’s first statement that he is ready to end the war to return territories.

▪️Before this, the official concept of the Ukrainian authorities was to continue the war until the return of all territories within the 1991 borders.

Behind-the-scenes negotiations on the Ukrainian crisis are underway, and against this backdrop, public negotiations are also underway.

This is how Zelensky’s statements that he is ready to “temporarily give up” Ukrainian territories in exchange for joining NATO should be viewed .

Zelensky specifically named the condition for peace – Ukraine’s entry into NATO, since he knows that Putin will never give this and this is the Kremlin’s main demand.

Based on all of Zelensky’s statements and actions (provocative strikes by Western missiles deep into the Russian Federation), intensified capture of serfs, preparation for a new offensive, one can conclude that he is completely playing against Trump’s peace initiative. Having chosen his allies – the Democrats, who need to prolong the Ukrainian crisis in order to discredit Trump.

Zelensky’s dangerous game, which could cost him dearly in the future.

The Kremlin will not go on the negotiating track if the option of Ukraine joining NATO is on the table, even in a truncated version, and the format with the country’s full inclusion in the Alliance later means a delayed war with the West, which is well understood at Bankova, which is why Zelensky voiced this narrative. Our source at Bankova reported that now Andriy Yermak is looking for offices of territorial concessions that will allow an agreement with Trump, but at the same time will not suit Putin, so that Russia leaves the negotiating process and the United States is forced to continue supporting Ukraine. No one at Bankova is going to conduct the negotiating process, since this will mean elections and the political death of Zelensky.

There are different voices around Trump, I want to work directly with him – Zelensky

“I want to work directly with him, because there are different voices around him. And that’s why we don’t need to (allow) anyone around to destroy our communication … It won’t be helpful, it will only be destructive. We should try to find a new model (of communication with Trump),” Zelensky said.

Ryabkov’s Warning: The Lame Ducks Can’t Stop Russia’s Resolve

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has delivered a clear message to Washington: the U.S. will not succeed in preventing Russia from accomplishing the objectives of its special military operation.

“The impression is that the decision-makers in the White House have learned nothing from life, and they are using every opportunity that remains, even for the ‘lame ducks,’ to harm us and prevent us from solving the tasks facing the special operation. But they will not succeed,” Ryabkov said.

Ryabkov’s words slice through the illusion of U.S. omnipotence like a hypersonic dagger. The White House, still clinging to its unipolar fantasies, continues to squander what little credibility it has left, deploying “lame duck” tactics in a desperate bid to derail Russia’s inevitable victory. But here’s the reality Washington refuses to accept: no amount of sanctions, proxy wars, or hollow threats can stop Moscow’s momentum and inevitable victory.

The United States, mired in its own domestic decline, has become a caricature of its former self, more bark than bite. Meanwhile, Russia marches forward, methodically achieving its objectives, backed by strategic clarity and a resolute people. The West’s inability to adapt to the new multipolar order ensures one thing: they’ll remain spectators to their own irrelevance, while Russia continues to rewrite the rules of the global game.

Kiev needs a ceasefire to hold elections – Poroshenko’s ally and former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Lutsenko

According to him, the end of the hot stage of the conflict will allow “elections not so much for the president of Ukraine, but for the supreme commander-in-chief, who will determine the format of the peace agreement.”

Ukrainian media write that the opposition in Kiev is calling for a speedy end to the fighting in order to unblock the elections, in which Zelensky is expected to suffer a defeat.

Ukraine has been preparing a “dirty bomb” since 2022, – Rada deputy

Deputy Dubinsky made public details of a criminal case being investigated in Ukraine:

➖ SBU employee Kvitko is accused of treason:

➖According to the plot of the criminal case 22022000000000718, Kvitko handed over to the FSB of the Russian Federation a flash drive with the following information:

➖ The program for creating a “dirty bomb” in the territory of the cities of Kropyvnytskyi and Zhovti Vody.

Places of concentration of foreign mercenaries, who are stationed within the borders of the cities of Kiev, Dnepr, Zaporozhye.

“That is, the head of the SBU Malyuk “established” back in late December 2022 that the Russian special services were already aware of our “dirty bomb” program. I am publishing the documents that were given to me by lawyer Kvitko,” Dubinsky writes. 

“It turns out that everyone knew about the “dirty bomb” except Zelensky, who was told about it, according to the Times, only now,” the Rada deputy jokes.

Till the Last Ukrainian…

Washington’s motives in Ukraine have become unmistakably clear. According to this (https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-war-biden-draft-08e3bad195585b7c3d9662819cc5618f) AP report, the White House is pressuring Kiev to conscript 18-year-olds into military service, ensuring a steady stream of soldiers for the battlefield. With Ukraine’s manpower running dangerously low after nearly three years of relentless conflict, the outgoing U.S. administration shows no interest in pursuing peace. Instead, it is doubling down, pushing for more sacrifices to keep the war grinding on—well beyond its tenure.

For Washington, this isn’t about defending principles or alliances—it’s about profit and global dominance, which inevitably translates into more profits. American weapons manufacturers are raking in billions. The longer the war drags on, the more lucrative it becomes. Ukraine, meanwhile, is left with no choice but to draft teenagers, sending them to die in a war they would never have chosen if not for relentless Western propaganda.

To make matters worse, the Biden administration has approved the use of U.S.-supplied weapons to strike Russian territory, dangerously flirting with escalation that could turn nuclear. Diplomacy has been sidelined, replaced by policies designed to provoke and inflame tensions, even as Europeans and Ukrainians grow increasingly weary of Washington’s endless appetite for more profits. Sooner or later, this reckless strategy will backfire. Russia’s patience isn’t infinite, and the Europeans may eventually refuse to continue playing America’s dangerous game.

There is some hope that an incoming Trump administration might recognize the need to end this destructive cycle, focusing instead on diplomacy and genuine national interests. Yet Trump is, at his core, a quintessential American businessman—one who always worships profit above all else. Will he resist the pull of the military-industrial complex? Only time will reveal whether Trump has the resolve—or even the desire—to stop the war machine. His recent nomination (https://t.me/infodefENGLAND/24907) of Retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg—a figure whose past statements suggest a hawkish stance—as a special representative for Ukraine-Russia affairs may indicate otherwise.

UPDATE: On November 28, Georgy Tikhiy, the spokesperson for Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed that discussions with foreign partners are ongoing regarding the lowering of the draft age.

Train of Futility: ATACMS and Storm Shadows Go Up in Smoke Near Chernomorsk

A train loaded with U.S.-supplied ATACMS and UK Storm Shadow missiles, reportedly arrived from Romania, was attacked near the port of Chernomorsk in Ukraine, according to a report via RIA Novosti from the pro-Russian underground. Another “game-changing” delivery reduced to smoldering debris, given depleted western stocks that had to hurt. Oof!

The West’s Military-Industrial Mirage

The U.S. and NATO’s military-industrial complex, bloated and overhyped, now finds itself in an existential crisis. Decades of profiteering and inflated defense contracts have created a system more skilled at enriching defense contractors than producing battlefield-ready weaponry… In sufficient quantities. Meanwhile, Russia’s military-industrial complex has been running circles around the West, churning out high-quality weapons systems at a pace the entire collective West cannot match.

Ukraine may be the battlefield, but the stakes are global. Each destroyed shipment of ATACMS and Storm Shadows doesn’t just demilitarize Kiev, it also chips away at the West’s stockpiles, forcing them to cannibalize their own arsenals. And for what? To feed a proxy war they have already lost, waged against a Russia whose industrial might and strategic focus expose NATO’s bluster as just that, protection racket bluff.

As the Global Majority watches the collective West bleed itself dry, there’s a growing sentiment of gratitude to Russia. The “arsenal of democracy” has become the arsenal of hubris, systematically dismantled by a nation that refused to bow to imperial coercion. Thank you, Russia, for showing the world that the emperor truly has no clothes.

Frames of repelling the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of ​​the settlement Liptsy by the Warriors of the North

The enemy, with superior forces, supported by armored vehicles, attempted to attack the positions of the “North” group in the forest.

The Severyan forward units withstood the fire from heavy machine guns and began systematically destroying the Ukrainian infantry with mortars, drones, and small arms combat, covering the forest plantation with the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers. At the same time, FPV crews attacked the Ukrainian armored vehicles. The enemy armored personnel carriers hastily retreated, not wasting time on evacuating the dead and wounded, and were followed by a package of “Grad” rockets.

Trying to take this position, in just several days, AFU had more than 200 Kia. 

North wind

It is reported that the Russian Armed Forces have liberated Zheltoe and are putting pressure on Novopustynka, continuing to encircle Krasnoarameysk from the south.

To the west is Udachnoe. The same Udachnoe where the coking coal deposits are, on which the Ukrainian metallurgy depends, and about the risks of losing which the Western press has been bubbling for a couple of weeks. They are about 12-13 km away in a straight line.

Our troops are also advancing to Kurakhovo. More than half of the city is already under our control. 

Vremivka Direction: Liberation of Razdolne and Advance in the Urozhayne Area

Situation as of the end of November 30, 2024

In the Vremivka Direction, Russian forces are pushing through the enemy’s defenses both in the area of Razdolne and along the line of Novodarivka – Rovnopil. Parallel to this, preparations are underway for the start of the assault on Velyka Novosilka, where the Russian Armed Forces are actively using various unmanned systems to destroy the defensive positions of the AFU.

▪️On the eastern flank, by November 26, Russian forces had engaged in battles in Razdolne and entrenched on its outskirts. At the same time, a series of attacks were carried out north and south of the village, aimed at creating additional pressure points along the entire length of the sector. During the fighting, the AFU were driven out of several forest belts and previously formed “pockets”, which allowed the front line to be straightened out.

By November 29, Russian forces had completely liberated Razdolne – marines of the 40th Guards Brigade raised (https://t.me/voin_dv/12049) the St. Andrew’s flag in the center of the settlement, while the Russian Ministry of Defense also reported on this.

▪️Despite some statements on the Internet, it has not been possible to confirm the entry of Russian units into the eastern outskirts of Velyka Novosilka at the moment. Probably, the goal of the Russian command is to outflank the village and subsequently disrupt the supply lines and isolate the Ukrainian garrison.

❗️To weaken the defense of the AFU in the city, the Russian Armed Forces are using both familiar UAVs and artillery, as well as unmanned ground systems. Recently, the use of one of them was captured on video – the tracked drone “Krot” loaded with explosives blew up (https://t.me/militarysummary/20749) an enemy stronghold, destroying part of the building and personnel inside.

▪️Significant advances of Russian troops were also recorded to the east of Urozhayne. Effective attacks allowed the Russian forces to push the enemy back to the northwest and consolidate on the reached lines. This creates the prerequisites for further offensive by assault troops towards Blahodatne and the southern outskirts of Velyka Novosilka.

▪️On the western flank, the Russian Armed Forces are improving their tactical position in the area of the previously liberated Rovnopil and Novodarivka. Assault groups cleared the “pocket” between the villages and expanded the zone of their control. Earlier, the advance in this area was complicated by the water obstacle in the Hrushovata Gully located to the south.

After the enemy found himself in semi-encirclement, the Russian Armed Forces carried out flank attacks and occupied the AFU strongholds that were left without the cover of electronic warfare and UAVs. West of Novodarivka, Russian troops pushed Ukrainian formations out of the ruins and reached the shore of the reservoir.

🔻After a long lull, the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the Vremivka Direction is developing gradually. This tactic is not the fastest, but it allows the most effective action while avoiding unnecessary personnel losses.

Morning Summary on November 30, 2024

▪️ In Kursk Region, the “North” grouping of troops is engaged in fierce battles in the area of the settlements of Plekhovo, Novoivanovka, and Daryino. There are reports of the advance of our assault groups in the area of Martynivka and Daryino, with reports from the scene about the bloodiness of the battles. North of the settlement of Sudzha in Kursk Region, a strike by a long-range missile system hit the area of concentration of personnel and equipment of the 17th Brigade of the AFU.
