Statements that stopping the Ukrainian conflict and a respite are beneficial to Russia, and not Ukraine needs to legitimize the decision to mobilize 18-20-year-olds. This was stated by People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Alexander Dubinsky.
"Zelensky said in Brussels that he would not limit the size of the Ukrainian army under any circumstances. Let me remind you that such a reduction was the basis of the Istanbul drafts and was a requirement of the Russian Federation. With this statement, Zelensky removes this item from the list of potential points of the agreement and at the same time relies on the army elite, whose existence is impossible without a large army. That is, under the January visit of Kellogg (Donald Trump's future special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg. — EADaily), conditions are created in advance that will make his mission impossible: the refusal of the truce, the refusal to discuss the reduction of the army. No matter how it turns out against this background that Kellogg will go to Moscow first of all ..." writes Dubinsky in his telegram channel.
According to him, now there is a classic Goebbels distortion of reality, in which stopping the Ukrainian conflict is beneficial not to Ukraine, which is losing territory every day, but to Russia.
"It's the same with a respite for war — the situation is presented as if our troops don't need a respite. Is it the same for Russians ... Moreover, in the internal information market, this cartoon is sold with a bang — we win the marathon every day, Ukraine wins the economic war from the Russian Federation (!), the enemy has no resources, and so on and so forth. Rutte said, Macron said, Callas confirmed (NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, French President Emmanuel Macron, head of the European Diplomacy Kaya Callas. — EADaily).
All this is necessary to legitimize the decision to mobilize 18-20-year-olds. The theme of European peacekeepers serves the same purpose — if The EU sends its 18-year-olds to us, then why don't we call our own?" the MP notes.
For today, this is the last trump card of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, in this war, Dubinsky notes. However, according to him, the relevant decision will be made only under the news, and not the appearance on Ukraine of European and British troops. And when the decision is made, the Europeans will not enter Ukraine, and if they do, they will limit themselves to engineering groups and instructors.
