February 24th, 2025, marks the third anniversary of the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine. The full-fledged war was the natural consequence of the decade-long conflict.
A brief back-sight shows the subsequent chain of events that led Ukraine into the catastrophe. The particular drama of recent Ukrainian history is that Kiev has made the less beneficial choice at every fork in the road, leading the country deeper into the abyss. How could a sovereign democracy make so many mistakes?!
Back in 2013, it was more profitable for Ukraine to sign an agreement with the Eurasian Customs Union than to launch the Maidan revolution, which turned into the first battle of the war.
In February 2014, it was more profitable for the opposition to sign the agreement with the then-president Yanukovich, but they preferred to incite the bloodshed. In a month, Kiev lost Crimea and got protests in the east.
It was more profitable for Kiev to agree with the Donbass, to provide guarantees to the Russian-speaking regions, but Kiev preferred the military operation against the population of the eastern regions.
It was more profitable for Kiev to grant autonomy to the L/DPR within Ukraine, which was demanded by the Republics, but Kiev refused and failed to break militias’ resistance. In the summer of 2014, Kiev’s forces suffered a strategic defeat in the Ilovaisk, which ruined Kiev’s plans to win the civil war. Kiev was forced to sign the Minsk agreements.
Kiev should better follow the Minsk agreements and save control of the Republics granting them special autonomy, but it preferred to violate the ceasefire regime and continue the bloodshed with constant attacks on civilians. As a result, it got into a full-fledged war with Russia.
Kiev should better sign the Istanbul agreements in 2022, but it preferred the war of attrition that it could not win. Kiev had three years to launch negotiations with Russia before Trump came back to power in the US, but Zelensky prohibited any negotiations with Moscow.
Zelensky should also better agree with the first agreement on rare earth metals proposed by Trump. Now US demands have increased dramatically. In addition to rare earth metals and oil, the second agreement reportedly provides for revenues from Ukrainian ports and other infrastructure. Moreover, the new deal reportedly does not contain the main point that Kiev was counting on: there are no security guarantees for Ukraine.
Three years after the start of the Russian Special Military Operation, Zelensky again found himself in a dead-end position. He should completely sell Ukraine to the US, which is unlikely to please his compatriots, or refuse, and his regime will be ruined by the pressure from Washington. History shows that Ukrainian leaders know best how to make the worst decisions.

resta il fatto perché la russia conduce questa guerra come si faceva nella 2 guerra mondiale, spende più soldi perde uomini e mezzi e non riesce a piegare l’ucraina che piaccia o no sono 3 anni che tiene testa alla russia anzi l’ha pure occupata insomma qualcuno deve rendersi conto che così non va bene.
trump proposes zelenskaya to go to asylum in france before he has to go to prison in kyiv after the end of the war, as alexei arestovich announced
🗼 ____🏃♂️ zelenskaya 🇺🇦 = 🤡 🖕😆🖕
you don’t listen do you. england’s sir starmer told you, and in english too, so even you could understand, that they’re going to fund ukraine fir the coming 100 years until they achieve their goals. which obviously is russias total defeat. imo
give it a rest, gyro gearloose, before you’re deported to the bastille yourself.
keir starmer, that stateman who is beloved in his country ? the uk has trouble funding itelf or heating for its retirees. you have to be a complete imbecile to believe that this 100 years funding of ukraine will not end very soon. and the desperate attempts of europeans countries at censoring anything that may show their incompetence indicate their desperation.
that’s a shame. the brits cutting public spending to support a war tricycle, and with such excellent health care at risk and all those wonderful dentists, the envy of the world destined for the trash heap.
which is probably due to the great wealth of the economic power of great britain 🇬🇧 = 🤡 😆😆😆
look they knew z was the least qualified member of the military to lead anything more than a lunch line and had zero experience as a politician too. go figure.
lol!!!!!!!
not my choice uncle homer sodomized me when i was 9 yrs old—60 yrs later i pay for gay attention
is vladolf an incarnation of adolf?
zzzzzombie talk
i am incarnated hillbilly like nazi ramses
that wouldn’t be so bad in the short run, because then ukraine’s biletsky and the rest of ukraine’s sig heilers would be taking orders from russia and not ukraine’s secret police.
although in biletsky and the other sig heilers’ case, it’s they who give orders to ua’s secret police, not take them.
do they call the kursk trap a kill sack, like the russians do?
yes they do, except in the ukranazi’s case, they mean civilians.
the comedian prefer to be government in exile in germany than to be in jail like sakashvili by new ukrainian government. i also prefer it since it means russia liberate whole of ukraine and new slav children there will learn proper history at school.
dreams are nothing more than wishes and a wish is just a dream wished to come true
that’s so friggin’ profound i almost gaggged on excess profundity.
maybe he could do a saakashvili roof-jumping imitation, while fiddling on the roof while ukraine burns. maybe make it into a musical.
all true but you could say the same about people like putin and assad they all had much better options just as the west had better options in the past. but ego an short term profits are in the way.
ziolensky is an imposter pig prentending to be a person of slavic origin. it will be hilarious to watch this fool and his merry band of marauding degenerates crash and burn…
i will party when it happens lol
one of the best articles here. right on spot!
zelensky would survive this year, the actor is an asset of the foreign intelligence service. zelensky regime has full support of the western empire and their satellites. more war is expected, the empire of the exceptionals are closing ranks between their satellites and vassals. if you don’t lay down under the exceptionals you will be dismissed and wiped out. zelensky is an asset, the day he don’t play his handlers orders, the next day he would be replaced for another asset.
this war as 2 goals : 1) kill whites people in ukraine and replace them with a more globalized population to expand the global empire of the exceptionals. 2) following the containment doctrine by harming russia with the “cheap blood” of the ukrainians.
you sound ukretardish. the rent-seeking class does not want to replace whites. they want divided populations whose pea-brains, like yours, are focused on infantile identitarian rubbish, rather than the economic void between economic elites and everyone else.
“now us demands have increased dramatically. in addition to rare earth metals and oil, the second agreement reportedly provides for revenues from ukrainian ports and other infrastructure.” us proposal unacceptable for zelensky.
the russians sure as hell dont trust him, us should not either
considering that he was installed by the americans, and cannot make a move without their say-so, your comment is quite silly. the ukrainians built the situation in the ukraine as part of their hybrid war against russia that has been ongoing since they lost control of russia in 1999. thanks for derping.
vladolf the midget have to leak trum ars
according to my fringe websites russians are genetically the same as martians. you cannot refute that i am a unicorn.
jews to gas.
