Either the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, will conclude a truce on acceptable terms, or Ukraine will face a collapse of the front before autumn, the war is over. This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexander Dubinsky.
According to him, the official number of desertion cases registered by the State Bureau of Investigations is 175,435 as of April 1. In reality, the MP notes, 60-70% of desertion cases are recorded, that is, in fact, "about 250 thousand people are on the run today, or a third (!) of the Ukrainian army."
"Add here about the same number of missing persons — and you get the same numbers. 250-300 thousand are really fighting in our country against about 600 thousand Russians. This is exactly the situation that (US President Donald) Trump describes to Zelensky when he says that he has no cards in his hands. By autumn there will be no one to fight with and nothing. No matter how brutal the tetsekashniki.
The "peacekeeping" contingent also looks ridiculous against this background, because it will not provide even 10% of the necessary troops. Therefore, except as detachments.
Zelensky can roost as much as he likes — the war is over. Either he concludes a truce on acceptable terms, or Ukraine expects the collapse of the front before autumn. Not yet a defeat, but a heavy blow," Dubinsky writes in his telegram channel.
