Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin’s hopes for a “relatively easy victory” in
the war against Ukraine hinge on Republican Donald Trump winning the US presidential election. Until then, “Russia remains willing to suffer losses that make no operational or strategic sense.”
This was stated by retired American Colonel John Nagl, who is now a professor of combat operations at the US Army War College. In a commentary to The Wall Street Journal, he pointed to Trump’s promises that if he gets another presidential term, he will seek a quick peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow, although Putin has made it clear that he wants Ukraine to capitulate.
“Ukraine continues to inflict losses on Russia that would be unbearable in any country that is not an absolute autocracy,” Nagl stressed.
The WSJ reported on the difficulties Ukraine is experiencing as it enters its third year of full-scale Russian invasion, especially ahead of a potentially “dark” winter.
The occupation forces continue their relentless advance despite heavy losses, while Western leaders seek a strategy to end the war. Arms supplies from partners are limited and slow.
“President [Joe] Biden and other Western leaders have repeatedly said they want Ukraine to win, but they are not providing enough support to stop Russia and turn the tide, Ukrainian officials and soldiers say,” the journalists wrote.
However, the aggressor country is also facing difficulties. Moscow’s forces have not achieved a significant breakthrough despite their enormous efforts.
According to US analysts, September 2024 was the deadliest month for the occupiers. Western intelligence says that Russia’s losses that month amounted to approximately 1,200 killed and wounded every day.
The WSJ, citing opinion polls, stated that the number of Ukrainians who are ready for negotiations is gradually increasing. “But this does not mean that they are ready for concessions,” the publication emphasized.
According to an August poll by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation, less than one in ten citizens would be willing to give up some territory to Moscow to end the war.
Ukrainian serviceman and drone pilot Oleksandr Solonko, who is fighting on the eastern front, said any peace deal other than one achieved by defeating the Russians on the battlefield would only freeze the conflict for a short time, allowing the enemy to rearm.
“They will attack again. And this will continue until our country disappears from the world map,” the warrior explained his position.
As OBOZ.UA reported, on Wednesday, October 16, President Volodymyr Zelensky will speak in the Verkhovna Rada. It is possible that he will publicly present the Ukraine Victory Plan there.

This is generally what everyone I know in Ukraine thinks. They know the cockroaches all too well, and that’s why there cannot be a land for peace deal, or any negotiations with the pathological liars and war criminals.
Unfortunately, after almost three years of war, the West still hasn’t managed to put together a strategy, not even a simple one.
I believe the strategy of the West is to placate putler, in the hope he stops this war, then get back to business as usual with the mafia state. Money is god as far as big business is concerned. Millions of lives figure little in their plans.
I’m afraid that you are right. The countless deaths and miseries leaves them cold. Counting money makes them forget, even if it’s dripping and oozing with human blood.
No negotiations are possible.
The dwarf nazi and his murder gang want capitulation. And trumpkov will attempt to deliver it.
Trumplov has been talking about partition since at least 2014. VanZkov set it out in an interview and DT Jr and Brainworm set it out in an OpEd in The Hill.
Another trumpkov cabinet appointee; Ivan Muskovy, has already published his own fatuous “land for peace” deal.
And who else will be in this cabinet of cunts? Why, step forward Comrade Gabbard, who is almost as far up putler’s ass as Moscow Marge.
If the West, Biden, Nato are unwilling to enable Ukraine to win – what other alternative to a Trump peace plan is still realistic?
Plan of annoying orange will only serve to delay while rashists regroup. Peace is not an option. The only choice is to fight regardless of whom does or doesn’t support it.
We have enough military material in storage to equip the AFU with more than it can use.
