Ukraine Russia War will End Militarily, Not Diplomatically ROUNDTABLE

<p>The discussion heavily criticizes Ukrainian President Zelensky, calling his recent public statements delusional and inflammatory, particularly about Crimea and the broader war with Russia. It suggests Zelensky is disconnected from the dire military situation on the ground and has no real leverage, implying his comments only prolong the conflict.</p><p><br /></p><p>There’s speculation that Trump might have intentionally sabotaged a Ukraine deal by pushing unrealistic demands. U.S. officials, including the Vice President, are reportedly signaling readiness to walk away from diplomacy if an agreement isn’t reached soon. They propose freezing territorial lines to stop the killing, but stress time is running out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, Russia—through Kremlin spokesman Peskov—has made it clear it will not give up any of the territories it has annexed, calling the matter non-negotiable. Putin is said to be preparing for a prolonged military push, expanding Russia's military capabilities and strategy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Several commentators argue that the U.S. public doesn’t grasp the real cost of war the way Russians do, due to vastly different historical experiences. The talk ends with predictions that Zelensky’s time in power is limited—suggesting he may soon be ousted, disappear, or flee as Russia increases pressure and the U.S. potentially withdraws support.</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
