It’s obvious at this point that Ukraine’s military is seeking to expand strikes inside Russian-controlled Crimea, which this month has become an unprecedented first following a brutal, grinding more than half-year of war. Zelensky has called for its “liberation” – but if this weren’t enough to ensure that the conflict will continue to burn for at least the near to medium-term future (the war is possibly set to endure for years, according to the predictions of some US defense officials), Zelensky’s latest remarks on Monday suggest that any potential ceasefire negotiations aren’t even so much as anywhere on the horizon.
Zelensky called the idea of negotiations with Moscow “impossible” if Russia moves forward with plans for a mass trial of captured Mariupol defenders. “If this despicable show trial takes place, if our people are brought into this scenery in violation of all agreements, all international rules, if there is abuse … this will be the line beyond which any negotiations are impossible,” Zelensky said Monday.
“Russia will cut itself off from the negotiations,” he stressed. “There will be no more conversations. Our state has said everything.” Russia too has of late been expressing a similar position of being closed to talks, blaming Kiev and its Western backers, and President Putin is expected to dig in his heals further especially after the recent Crimea attacks as well as the car-bombing of Alexander Dugin’s daughter Darya on Saturday night.
In the comments he confirmed he is in ongoing conversation with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, French President Emmanuel Macron and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan over what Ukraine is dismissing as a show trial, saying that he expects the UN to issue clear condemnation.
“Everyone understands everything,” Zelensky said. “They understand what the occupiers are doing and what it threatens,” he added of international powers. “And they understand that Ukraine will not tolerate this. It will not tolerate tormenting of people about whom only one thing can be said: they are heroes of their homeland, they defended the freedom of their people from invaders on their land.”
Russian foreign ministry officials have meanwhile complained separately that it’s the UN itself largely to blame for lack of any diplomatic process towards a negotiated settlement to the war:
Gennady Gatilov, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, told the Financial Times that the UN should be playing a bigger role in attempts to end the conflict and accused the US and other Nato countries of pressing Ukraine to walk away from negotiations.
There would be no direct talks between Putin and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he said. “Now, I do not see any possibility for diplomatic contacts,” Gatilov said. “And the more the conflict goes on, the more difficult it will be to have a diplomatic solution.”
As for the hundreds of Ukrainian fighters who spent literally months holed up in the cavernous Azovstal steal plant while under siege by numerically superior Russian forces, Kremlin authorities have said they mostly make up the neo-Nazi Azov battalion. Earlier Russian media reports additionally alleged that some foreign fighters may have been in their midst as well.
Ukraine officials and pundits are livid over the planned optics of the trial…
Russian puppets plan to hold a show trial of the captured defenders of Azovstal in Mariupol on August 24, Ukraine’s Independence Day. Killing of Dugin’s daughter will be used to justify the trial and further Russian war crimes including missile attacks. #russiaisaterrorisstate pic.twitter.com/u5D757mtWR

Already, some foreign fighters, including UK nationals, were in months past sentenced to death by a local pro-Russian Donetsk court. It’s entirely possible and even likely that the captured Azov members will be issued the same sentence. Without doubt, Moscow will seek to “send a message” with this trial. Russian forces have accused Azov battalion of being genocidal and of committing ‘terrorism’ against civilians.
The trial is also sure to capture global headlines and likely elicit UN condemnation, also given that – as The Hill reports – “Ukraine’s military intelligence arm warned on Friday in a Telegram post that Russia has been remodeling the Mariupol Chamber Philharmonic and installing iron cages in the building for a trial on Wednesday, which marks Ukraine’s independence day and six months since the war began.”
This Jew dog Zelensky needs to be taken out. Period.
This repulsive Jew bastard is threatening Russia again. This conflict will only end if the Jew Clown and Kiev command centres are destroyed.
Defiant Zelenskiy pledges powerful response to Russia on eve of war’s six-month milestone and threatens to attack Russian cities.
“This conflict will only end if the Jew Clown and Kiev command centres are destroyed.”
Command centers are non in Kiev, but in Washington. We destroyed over 50 “officers” and “generals” by one hit, they are still terrorizing people, because have no own will. Other leaders of the regime can’t surrender, because will be sentenced to death. So saving the clown’s life could be useful, because new head of regime could try to negotiate about terms of capitulation. This is very uncomfortable variant to Putin, if he want to erase project “Ukraina” from the map, because it is the sole variant to end terrorist attacks with high caliber weapons. To make you understand better, Kiev regime is like Pakistan to India. Two days before the operation the clown said about possibility to make their own nuclear weapon. Obviously, this cannot be tolerated. They could create it or their pimps can give them 10-20 warheads. This is the end for russian Pakistan. Though real Pakistan is not so outrageous and crazy even on 1/10 as Hohlostan is, and Imran Han is standing against anglosaxonian terrorist rule, he is well respected even outside Pakistan, while “respect” to the clown is just a show for public.
I too believe that too much emphasis is put on the importance of the clown of Kiev. He is an idiot and as such he can be very useful for Putin’s future plans. Better the devil you know, in other words. Comparing Ukraine to Pakistan was spot on. I really hope that the clown starts to talk about getting his own nukes, for that would bring a swift end to the SMO, for as you said “that would be the end of Russian Pakistan,” i.e. Ukraine. Yes, Putin would never allow that to happen. He’d sooner sooner flatten Kiev. He knows that the Jews calling the shots are mad and would be forced to stop things from getting totally out of control. Talking about nukes, I recall the evil witch Yulia Tymoshenko (a Jewess?) saying years ago that she wanted to kill all Russians in Ukraine with nukes!
Up until today, I’m still waiting for Russian retaliation for the brutal series of attacks over Crimea and the assassinate of D Dugina. Moscow it’s youe move…
Patience. Russia is not the US or NATO and come back with maturity and thought, not emotional force.
He will end up a martyr. Be more beneficial to see him charged with his crimes and face the punishment.
There is no other Sentence for those Nazi torturers -murders-Rapists -child killers than-
DEATH !!!
Get them OFF the face of this earth as they disfigure it.
The fantasy that the US,UK and Reich Marshal Zelenski have is for the US/UK to admit Ukie land into NATO and then send Ukie and Israeli Peace Keepers into Russia.
This will never happen of course, but Reality has never been a strong point in the Khazar world that the US has has become.
Slava Rossiya
That is correct, Florian. That would never happen. I can’t see Putin ever allowing something like that to happen on his watch.
Question him first, loads of information can be revealed. Sentence him to death too.
The clown continues to act as if he has some power, these trials are not for western audiences, they won’t be covered by western media this is for the people of Lugansk and Donetsk, that those vile animals sent by Kiev will answer for their crimes openly for all in the russian orbit to see ,that the law will prevail irrespective of western rhetoric,if it does reach western audiences it wil be by alternative channels to the main stream media, giving a iot more credibility to the charges than washington and london will want attached to their dirty war.As for a negotiated peace its already beyond that, the clown will rule over what the Russians don’t want and poland hasn’t stolen,if he doesn’t top himself and his cadre before what remains of ukraine does it for him.
Meanwhile RU soldier confirm he is a naZi. https://twitter.com/AlasdairMcc1/status/1561983490152771585
I thought he already said negotiations were impossible until all of occupied Ukraine including Crimea was returned?
He is so coked out of his head probably has no idea what he had for breakfast today let alone what he said last week!
All hail Gaylensky the drug addled CIA Homo kike puppet Princess of Ukrapistan.
Does anyone anywhere listens to this clown anymore, including his wife ?? He’s been used, chewed up and spat out by the west !! He’s more of a Ghost of Kiev then the original version !!
Not interested in negotiations, only interested in liberating Russia enclave within Ukraine to spare them from Nazi abuse….
why nobody want peace w my lgbt pimp master—-he very good to me my husband Tommy Sawyer….in 6 months Russia humiliated us liberating 20% of Ukraine where all minerals, coal industry…
Before soviet times, theDonbass regions and Crimea were NOT part of Ukraine.
Zelensky is a Jewish puppet of the Jewish US State Department. Typical hypocrisy. He rejected peace talks long before these soldiers were captured and that was why they were captured. Don’t forget who these people are and who had put them in power in 2014. Don’t forget the violence, the unconstitutional overthrowing of the democratically elected government, the shelling of towns and villages, the burning alive of protesters in Odessa, and the using of civilian population in the cities as human shields. This is a civil war and a war provoked by the US and conducted against Russia. It did not start in 2022, See this: https://mydundasvalley.com/2022/03/06/the-war-in-ukraine-unpopular-facts-and-questions/
Allot of words from Zelensky he is saying what NATO is telling him as he is not in charge just an actor. The fact he is talking abut talks hints he knows it will come when he surrenders to all of Russia’s demands by year end. The Azov Nazi scumbags should be lucky they are alive Set the trail, find them guilty and give them the death sentence for their crimes against the civilian population. Whilst those foreign nationals have no rights under International law as they are enemy combatants who went to kill Russia servicemen and deserve everything they get.
Nobody in the collective west wants peace talks, the only outcome for this conflict is complete capitulation of Zelensky’s regime and all Ukrop Nazis are sent on a one way ticket to Bandera.
Hasta cuando seguira su chantaje. Creo que se esta buscando un final terrible
For those like me who dont want to use Google Translate or its third party versions then use a small fully open — NO trackers or Google — translator called -DeepL Translate easy to use just drag and drop.
I’m using “Yandex” online translator, works well on my taste, quite precise translation, working from the search window, no need to open new window with trackers and history of use.
Its easier using Yandex when one is Russian. Give us an English yandex please.
Just type yandex dot com not dot ru, a great bunch of other Yandex services are available too. I think I remember Zelensky said the same thing about no further negotiations if the liberated territories held referendums, which are still planned.
I do use it as a bookmark to reach websites that western countries wont give you access to instead of using Tor.
I can appreciate that ———there is an English version of Yandex but even that reverts to Russian in certain instances.
Just use it as a bookmark.
I am glad you can Anton but Yandex thinks I am a bot and even filling in their version of recaptcha in both Yandex URL,s relating to translate its a blank window.
Yandex is the Russian equivalent of Google and insists on knowing all your computer details and location which it thinks is 30 miles from reality.
I can use Yandex for search as a bookmark but no way on earth would I download it as I wouldn’t download Google.
Their Yandex Mail service has blocked me from physically reaching it as they want a PHONE NUMBER –I dont own a mobile phone and they sure as hell wont be getting my landline number for the same reasons Google doesn’t get it – Thunderbird does reach it though after emailing Moscow.
Sick of hearing what the US State Department Jew wants. When will the decision making centers be destroyed?
“peace talks” With neo-nazi jewish oligarch, NATO mercenaries and terrorists?? – LOL, Zelensky never really stopped being a comedian, a clown to be more precise.
These war crime trials will be posted and Azov soldiers will die. Their road to hell is stained with the blood ethnic Russians.It will be paved with the bones Ukrainian Nazis and the Clown 🤡 of Kiev.
The jew comedian nazi-fascist Zelensky says what USA-OTAN tell him what to say.
next time Zaylonskyo kazar jew lgbt digital nazi Open the mouth Just exp’lode his anus with a big BUM !!! then we can make a party !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The murder of Dugin’s daughter in Russia has made Zelenshkyy a criminal and his family legitimate targets. Though it seems like Russia can no longer advance, I think any negotiate peace should be tabled until the criminals are surrendered to Russia.
Kriegsverbrecher must be hung!
Putin, please take this JEW piece of shit out! Vaporize ukraine for fuck sake and then set your sight on hegemon USSA and the deep state. Thank you! PS…if you land on USSA shores, I am joining team Putin.
Zelinsky says a lot, for a leader of a failed nation, who brings nought to the table, but, a little to the piano in the room.
In the meantime, no doubt they will try a mega false flag, when Ukraine remembers independence from the Soviet Union, that served them so well. How much territory did they pick up, whilst Russia paid the bills?
Zelensky as well as biden and members of the un are the ones that should be on trial.
Justice must and WILL be done no matter the rabid barking of the Reich.
This clown jew nazi-fascist Zelensky will have peace talks with Russia until nazi-Ukraine lost access to Black Sea, that it, after nazi-Ukraine loses Odesa. Zelensky must be stopped for ever, and a good honest ukraine general can do it.
me and zela were secretly married in gay #1 monkey pox USA—-our planned lgbt wedding reception in Nikolaev has been cancelled after Russian troops rapidly liberated vast territory and now are contesting the city….Tommy lgbt Sawyer has been provided more anti-depressant to cope w humiliation
