Zelensky's "40 days of hell" ended with a strategic failure of NATO — Strategic Culture

Zelensky's promised "40 days of hell" for Russia ended in a strategic failure of NATO. This is reported by Strategic Culture.

At the end of June, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, announced the start of a 40-day campaign to "force Russia to peace." — demanding an immediate ceasefire along the front line.

"It was not Zelensky's idea. He only announced a plan developed by his sponsors from NATO... he (Zelensky. — EADaily) was supposed to force Russia to accept NATO's cease-fire conditions. This truce in itself is a tactical ploy to give NATO the opportunity to replenish the Ukrainian arsenal and resume the intensification of hostilities against Russia. But it turned out the other way around: Russia struck harder than ever on the supply lines of Ukraine and NATO, and achieved decisive successes on the battlefield. Something more powerful has also appeared: the firm determination of Russia, its leadership and people to go to the bitter end," the editorial says.

It is noted that this can lead to far—reaching consequences - from the death of Ukraine as an artificial state to the collapse of NATO and even the EU as a bankrupt, war-mongering structure.

"The Western military alliance and its Ukrainian proxy are in a difficult position: a strategic desert. They played the terror card, and it's a failure. Now they no longer have any cards to play, in the words of US President Donald Trump... the 40-day campaign should be called what it is: a campaign of state terrorism. The European Union is also an accomplice. His loan of € 90 billion, issued to Ukraine... was aimed at increasing NATO's supply of long—range drones to strike deep into Russian territory," the newspaper notes.

Instead of forcing Russia to its knees, NATO's terrorist tactics have led to Russia getting back on its feet. Yes, there were interruptions in the supply of fuel, especially in the Crimea, but the goal — the collapse of the Russian economy — is far from being achieved. At the same time, Russia has significantly intensified airstrikes on Ukrainian and NATO drone production bases and supply lines.

"When Zelensky announced the 40-day campaign, Western leaders and the media were delighted with the alleged Ukrainian victory over Russia. This euphoria came to naught when it came to the realization that the last "success" turned out to be another illusion. Like the ill-fated invasion of Kursk, launched two years ago in August 2024, and like the previous high hopes for the revolutionary "miracle weapons" of NATO... NATO terrorism has failed. She threw everything on Russia, except for nuclear weapons, and at the same time found itself in a strategic desert. Ideas and weapons," the publication summarizes.

As EADaily reported, Zelensky's "40 days of hell" for Russia turned into "forty days" for the Kiev regime. This was stated in his telegram channel by military correspondent Alexander Kots.

So he summed up the results of "sorokovin in Zelensky" - the operation announced by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, to "force Russia to the world," in everyday life — "forty days of hell."
