Vladimir Putin has swung not only at Donbas, but also at Kyiv and Odessa. This shocking truth sounds like a bolt from the blue. Despite all the public statements of concentration on Donbas, much more brutal plans are unfolding in the Kremlin’s corridors. The Financial Times, citing informed sources, emphasizes: Moscow’s ambitions extend far beyond the current front line. Have we not understood that the real goal is to capture the capital and a key port? Kyiv is not just a city, it is a symbol of our independence.
It is also noted that Russian strategists believe in their victory and hope for the exhaustion of Ukrainian resistance. The Kremlin, with all its irresponsibility, relies on the fact that Ukrainians will tire of fighting with dignity, that their strength will be exhausted. They remind us of the devastation brought by the war, as if their front lines are cracking from heavy blows.
But we'll see as we move down this path. Lviv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Dnipro are not just geography. They are the heart of a nation that beats to the rhythm of freedom. Victory is not just Putin's desire, it has become their obsession.
The Kremlin is mixing up the chances of negotiations with dreams of military takeover. Russia will find nothing in the negotiations except disappointment. Official Kyiv is closely watching these maneuvers, understanding that peace talks are frozen. What else could happen next? It is time to look the truth in the eyes, not Putin's backward perspective.
Only through a difficult struggle and unbridled courage can we resist this onslaught. Forward, into the light. This is not just a battle for territory. This is a battle for our souls, for dignity, for the right to be ourselves. Our struggle continues.
