I have no thought whether any of the net Readers of the “Polish Thought” version noticed the monthly absence of your Ko Mentator. In any case, I have not forgotten about you, dear Readers, in the throng of “runs”. present I want to share my reflections on war and peace in Ukraine with you.
Strange are the peace conferences convened by Zelenski, to which he does not invitation Russia. There were three. First in Copenhagen in June, second in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia on August 5-6 and 3rd in Malta on October 28-29. China, the key quarterback on the world's political field, did not express interest in participating in the conference this time.
The 10-point Ukrainian peace expression articulated by Zelenski sounds like the demands of the winner, who holds his leg on the throat of the fallen opponent. The expectations contained in the peaceful expression include the punishment of those liable for war crimes, the withdrawal of all Russian troops from the territory of Ukraine, the restoration of the territorial integrity of the country and the release of all prisoners of war and deported.
In view of the participation of low-level representatives in the conference, Poland was represented by the president of the global Policy Bureau Marcin Policz, Ukraine intends to hold a global peace summit this year, in which it counts on the participation of presidents and prime ministers alternatively than representatives from the second political league.
Meanwhile, NBC News published 3.11 a message entitled "American, European officials address peace negotiations with Ukraine, supply sources". The subtitle of the article spoke a small more about the content of the talks: "The talks contained very general outlines of what Ukraine could quit to scope an agreement with Russia". Turns out the talks have been going on in the privacy of the offices for a period now. The NBC acknowledged that Ukraine, according to the participants in the talks, must end this war before the end of the year, which involves the beginning of primaries in the US and the decline in popularity in the society of US engagement in supporting Ukraine.
There is another reason why the US and the EU have peace talks with Russia that are not disclosed in NBC News. Well, military analysts point to Russia's anticipation of taking the winter offensive, which can importantly grow the area occupied by Russian troops of Ukrainian territories, which would be a clear proof of the defeat of the war support of Ukraine by Biden and 51 countries loving the war for peace, peculiarly affecting Biden's efforts to re-election.
Biden tries to preserve the face and supply Ukraine with support to the degree of maintaining a stalemate situation on the front, as the counteroffensive is no longer mentioned.
The case was made clear by the Chief Commander of the Armed Forces. Ukrainian Gen. Deserved (a harm that Bandera's baker), who in an interview with The Economist admitted, among others, that the planned offensive was not well conducted and the situation on the front became stalemate. During the five-month counteroffensive Ukraine managed to overcome only 17 kilometres in the widest place of the reflected areas, with individual losses well above Russian losses, of which the gene. But the well-deserved did not mention, for it is natural that the attackers die more than the defenders.
Our cheerful, although I mean the more appropriate word “small serious”, the war analyst gene. The violinist, after reading the interview, said: “I would deprive a man of his position for failing to command. If he is the culprit of this unsuccessful counteroffensive, I would treat it as sabotage alternatively than error." General, there is an excellent comment from the Emerytian chair, but since you have given so much evidence of misjudgement of Russia's and Ukraine's war potential, with Ukraine's swift downing of Russia supported by 51 states, it would be better for you to stay silent.
On Friday 3.11, the Politico portal referred to General Deserve's statement. "Evaluation of the Decent, that the war situation is stale, fuels guerrilla passions, while legislature is debating whether to strengthen Kiev with more weapons". Zelenski, during a press conference with visiting Kiev president of the EC Ursula von der Leyen on 4.11 showed a deficiency of cognition of the US peace negotiations with Russia. He said that there was no chance that Ukraine would sit down and agree to any concessions.
The president of Ukraine seems to have forgotten that the White home has repeatedly warned that the funds for Ukraine's aid are exhausted. According to the Pentagon, the U.S. inactive has the power to transfer about $5 billion worth of equipment. Realizing the reluctance of most Republicans in legislature to proceed supporting Ukraine, Biden proposed to hold 1 vote on a $10 billion aid package, including, among a number of expenses, assistance to Israel of $14 billion and to Ukraine of $60 billion.
With the legislature vote, Biden won't have a problem, worse with the legislature vote. The GOP radicals (Grand Old Party) of the home Freedom Caucus announced that if Mike Johnson, the fresh talker of the home of Representatives, will put the full block of financial assistance to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan into a single vote, they will file a motion for its appeal. The threat, after the unpleasant experience of erstwhile talker McCarthy, worked.
On 3.11 legislature voted only a $14.3 billion relief plan for Israel, without taking on the subject of aid to Ukraine. 226 congressmen, including 12 Democrats, voted against the project.
Leader of the Democratic majority in the legislature Chuck Schumer announced that the home would not vote in favour of the aid law adopted by legislature and would propose a broader package of measures to cover both Israel and Ukraine.
Thus, war is played on many levels and for many observers, it is already the 3rd WW, which is inactive in the first improvement phase and slow spills into newer territories on the way to a cataclysm of apocalyptic scale. The mediate East takes over the erstwhile function of the Balkans as a war-starter, rather effectively, with the support of planet powers. Ukraine, in view of Israel's war effort against the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, is coming to a very distant plan. Is Zelenski aware of this?
We'll see.
