“Europe has spent more time discussing, making statements, and making calls than actually putting its money where its mouth is and stepping up to give concrete support to Ukraine or to pursue any other policy of its own choosing. Everybody is technically on the same page. The problem is when you actually look at finer details of the plans, everybody disagrees. All these European leaders are still trapped in potential maybes. Nobody has come up with a cohesive, comprehensive, and collaborative plan to say, 'Here's what we would actually be willing to definitely do.' And so, of course, Trump, Putin, and even Zelenskyy don't take Europe seriously.”

“You can negotiate with anyone, but because of his illegitimacy, he [Zelenskyy] has no right to sign anything. I would allocate people to take part in negotiations if Zelenskyy would be present instead of holding direct talks face-to-face.”

“He [Zelenskyy] shouldn't have allowed this war [Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine] to happen. Zelenskyy is no angel. Zelenskyy was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful. He shouldn't have done that, because we could have made a deal.”

“He [Zelenskyy] goes around Europe, just begging and blackmailing others, asking for money. It just has to stop. Russia has never deceived us, unlike Ukraine. I remember the situation in 2009 when I was in Ukraine and asked Ukrainian Prime Minister Tymoshenko to give us some gas from the reservoirs in the western part of Ukraine, and I was told to go to hell. These are typical Ukrainians.”

“Putin wants to seize, at the very least, the territory he already controls, and also has demands over Ukrainian neutrality and disarmament that would be impossible for any Ukrainian leader to sell politically. Zelenskyy, meanwhile, has admitted that painful compromises may be necessary, but insisted that, in return, he would need some form of meaningful security guarantee against subsequent Russian escalation, such as a promise of Nato membership or western peacekeepers on the ground. Neither option currently looks likely.”

“While conclusions about the influence of individual members of Trump's team are purely speculative, there are signs that Zelenskyy has given up on his principal position about the return of all occupied areas, including the Crimean peninsula that Moscow annexed in 2014. Before Trump's election, Kyiv insisted that it would not recognise the occupied territories as part of Russia. There is also a Putin factor. The Russian leader's conduct could run contrary to the expectations of Trump's team and cause an upset, before they are in conflict with Zelenskyy and Ukraine's Western supporters.”

“The dialogue between President Zelenskyy and President-elect Trump has already been established. And the promptness of the phone conversation is evidence of the existing direct dialogue between the heads of states. Naturally, possible future contacts at the level of leaders have been discussed. The parties agreed that the teams would begin practical preparatory work to organise a meeting.”

“We have to take Trump at face value. He assumes that he can strike a deal pretty quickly [and] that he would likely block any further assistance to Ukraine. For example, there is the possibility that Trump could reach a deal with Putin that excludes Zelenskyy's input - and could potentially concede quite a lot in terms of Ukraine and its territory. There's also a question of what kind of relationship he would have with Putin and with Russia, and whether that would embolden Russia more generally in the European context - and I think that's a real concern for a lot of people.”

“These statements about the North Korean soldiers in our front should not surprise no one, because they're all barefaced lies and they are trying to distract. Even if everything that is being said about the cooperation between Russia and North Korea by our Western colleagues is true, why is it that the United States and allies are trying to impose on everyone the flawed logic that they have the right to help the [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy regime mobilise the military and intelligence of NATO, and Russia and its allies have no right to do a similar thing?”

“The government of Ukraine fully, and I would like to emphasise it, fully depends on the presidential administration, before the reshuffling and after. The reshuffling had to do with Zelenskyy's penchant for motivating the reshuffling of officials of all levels. He thinks that it contributes to more active, more motivated work of ministers. That's his conviction.”

“Zelenskyy says new energy is needed, but have you noticed that in this 'great re-introduced order' there is still no new person in sight? All the changes are just a rotation among people who are already in the government.”

“Zelenskyy's ruling style is to reshuffle the government from time to time, to make them more energetic and effective. Just see what happened with young reformer [Oleksandr] Kamyshin, who took over the strategic industries ministry from an ineffective former minister and in only a year managed to triple domestic weapons production. Now he's Zelenskyy's darling, so he took him closer.”

“Zelenskyy said… that they will need this for future exchanges. That's why they are taking prisoners and want to seize square kilometers. It's so simple-minded and naive. We do not discuss our territory with anyone. We do not negotiate about our territory.”

“NATO has committed to most of what Zelenskyy has been asking for, noting that in addition to the F-16s, the alliance has promised to provide Ukraine with dozens of air defence systems. In particular, the US has agreed to provide Ukraine with four Patriot missile systems, while other members are providing the upkeep and maintenance of these systems. So the Ukrainian president has been given most of what he's been asking for - apart from one very vital thing and that is membership of NATO.”

“Few question his ongoing legitimacy and he [Zelenskyy] remains popular. Although lower than before, his approval rating's still above 60 percent. Many Ukrainians also feel an election would be unrealistic and disrupt the war effort. In a poll this March [2024], 78 percent of those asked said they were against elections before the end of the war. But in addition to that there's also the practical difficulties. Some Ukrainian towns are in ruins. Many power plants have been hit so there's rolling blackouts. And perhaps most importantly, there's 8 million people displaced, 5 million outside the country.”

“Zelenskyy himself said that Russia has won the winter, and I think the momentum has shifted to the Russian forces on the ground at least. Adviivka is proof of that. The big question now is whether there is something brewing in probably the month of May once the mud starts to dry in that area of Ukraine. So we will have to wait and see. The Russians will be doing their absolute best to camouflage any kind of troop build-up if a spring offensive is on the cards.”

“Even if there is a breakthrough and some form of an agreement is signed, its implementation is not guaranteed. I don't see how Russia would agree to withdraw its army until all conditions are met. [It is also questionable] how quickly Zelenskyy would be able to fulfil them, to what extent the Ukrainian elite would be ready to accept them, and the society as well, which now believes is winning the war.”
