INCREDIBLE!

David Arakhamia, parliamentary leader of Zelensky's ''Servant of the People'' confirmed today in an interview what many speculated for close to 2 years.

If Ukraine agreed to remain neutral country not joining NATO Putin was ready to end the war at the end of March 2022, this was the main point.

According to David Arakhamia when he together with Ukraine's delegation came back to Kiev from 29–30 March peace negotiations in Istanbul Boris Johnson came to Ukraine and said ''we will not sign anything at all with them, lets just fight!''

The rest is history.

Today Ukraine can only dream about those conditions it was offered.

Many called both conspiracy theories that Putin was ready to end the war and that Johnson urged Ukraine to reject and fight.

Interview (in Ukrainian, you can turn on the subtitles on YouTube and then auto-translate to the language of your choice).

Wonder what Ukrainians will say about it with Zelensky's closest allies telling with a straight face that a guy from the UK came to Ukraine and told to fight Russia after Putin was close to pulling out troops. Orders were already given to pull out from Kiev, Chernigov and Sumy.
Listening to Boris Johnson wasn't a good idea to put it mildly.

In fact Biden administration might have also been caught off guard too. Image

Hamas and powers behind them knew exactly what they were doing.

It wasn't random violent outburst to kill people.

They want a retaliation.

Lets see if Netanjahu takes the bait and orders ground operation which could become fatal for Israel but also for the US geopolitically.
It was expected that Israel would bomb buildings in a territory that has no air defense systems which would lead to massive civilian casualties.

Footage is seen by tens if not hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world.
People get angry just as people got angry about the attack on the music festival.

This is the goal, to make everyone angry and demand retaliation cycle.

It didn't take long for some guy in Egypt to target random tourists.

This could happen anywhere in the world.

When Pandora Papers corruption story broke out, faction leader and friend of Zelensky Davyd Arakhamia said there was nothing wrong with offshore bank accounts, admitting he had many and his wife still had one in the Seychelles.

Ukraine was world's #1 on the list with 38 people. Image
''The leaks disclosed that Zelensky, a former comedian, and his partners in show business owned multiple offshore companies, including at least one that was involved in the purchase of several properties in central London''.
''Just before his election, Zelensky transferred his stake in one of the companies registered in the British Virgin Islands to an associate who later became the president’s top aide''.

Truth is that Zelensky's life belongs to US government.

He's only useful as long as the war is going, his task is to keep the borders closed and draft as many men as he can to shoot at the Russians.

He knows too much and would be physically removed once he served his purpose.
Zelensky will mobilize every person in Ukraine that he can to keep the war going as long as he can even if it means Ukrainian nation will cease to exist in the end.

This is the only way he can prolong his own life by proving he's still useful for US government and NATO.
Best option left for him is to bargain safety for his family. Because he can't erase his own memory. He knows what happened with Nord Stream, NATO's involvement in the war, including attacks in Russia that are passed off as pure Ukrainian work.

He won't be trusted not to talk.

The more details come out about the events around Prigozhin's business jet leading up to the crash the more I begin to question what actually happened and who could be responsible.

Very uncharacteristic negligence and strange activities.
Putin ordering to kill this way seems less and less likely.

Timing is off, too early and the style.

Current theories: Ukraine or another foreign country, believing this will lead to infighting in Russia and turmoil, could be a country that opposes ''Wagner'' activity in Africa.
Inside job from a wing within ''Wagner'' and Russian security forces that want ''Wagner'' brand to continue working as before.

Potentially taking over the project and removing Prigozhin with Utkin as obstacles due to their unhealthy vendetta against Shoigu and Russian MOD.

THREAD:

We start hearing suggestions from US and NATO officials that Ukraine might have to give up some territory to end the war.

2022 plan failed, someone in US leadership believed Ukraine could expose Russia's lack of manpower and make much bigger gains than they did.
Ukraine managed to recapture Kharkov region and parts of Kherson including the city itself but that wasn't enough. Ukraine is already losing the gains it made during the Kharkov counteroffensive as Russia gradually increased its manpower.
The manpower Russia went into Ukraine was enough for 2 weeks special military operation where Zelensky had to sign the documents Putin handed to him. No NATO, water access restoring to Crimea, equal rights for Russian language and ban of neo-Nazi groups.

With ''Wagner'' in Belarus I wonder if Ukraine will make the mistake of being trigger-happy, at some point being frustrated in the battlefield to present something as a victory deciding to strike ''Wagner'' base.

Hence involving Belarus directly into the war.
It could also be a ''Wagner'' or Russian army false flag or Ukraine hiring locals to do some act of sabotage in Belarus, not necessarily involving ''Wagner'' but something Lukashenko would consider to be a red line.

For now Russia lacks manpower to open a new front from Belarus.
However in 2024 after the winter this could be another scenario after Russia's new mobilization.

After attrition warfare it would make sense for Russia to create numerical advantage to stretch Ukrainian forces thin, maybe even with operations in Western Ukraine and Kiev region.
