ARGIA readers have read on several occasions the reviews of the blog Moon of Alabama that follows international topics. With regard to the war in Ukraine, in the article of The Ukraine Peace Talk Trial Balloon, the soundball of the Ukrainian peace dialogues, the information published by the US administration in various media is gathered in recent days. According to the author of the blog, the information could be a “balloon” to see how the American public would react to the loss of the US and NATO war in Ukraine.

Returning to the information from the NBC, he says: “In discussions with the Ukrainian authorities, what they would need to reach an agreement with Russia has emerged. These interviews, which officials have defined as sensitive, took place a month ago with representatives from 50 countries that protect Ukraine, including NATO members. The group is called the Ukraine Defence Relations Group."

The United States and the European authorities noted that the war has stagnated and talks began concerning the military support capacity for Ukraine. In addition, the officers of the Biden administration are concerned about the depletion of the military force of Ukraine, while Russia has an unfinished supply. "Ukraine, at the same time, is having difficulty recruiting more people and President Volodymyr Zelensky has protested at the loosening of conditions for indefinite recruitment," the NBC said.

In his interview in Time magazine, Zelensky states that the war is not “behind or ahead” and that he does not intend to negotiate anything with Russia.

The main title reads: "No one believes as much as I do in our victory. Nobody." Below, the topic has been presented by Time as follows: "Two years have passed. Russia continues to control one fifth of the territory of Ukraine. Tens of thousands have died. Global protection is shrinking." And second owner: 'The lonely battle of Volodomyr Zelensky'.

The NBC states that in Bide it is concerned about the number of people Ukraine will send to war. “EE.UU. And their allies can send weapons to Ukraine, but if they are not qualified people to use them, they do not do well,” says a military source of the newspaper.

It is difficult to estimate the death toll of the Ukrainian army, but Moon of Alabama is estimated at 300,000 deaths and 500,000 injuries, many of them lifelong invalids. At the same time, the outbreak of war in Gaza has completely displaced the international focus of attention to the Middle East and Zelensky himself has publicly expressed difficulties in keeping Ukraine on its agenda.

Moon of Alabama's analysis concludes:

“Russia would accept peace talks. Yes, I would ask Ukraine more than it is prepared to give. Absolute control of at least five annexed oblasts (area or area), including Crime, and that Ukraine is not related to NATO. The present Parliament of Ukraine will reject these requests, which will mean that Russia will continue to impose more conditions. Kiev still does not accept reality. The Ukrainian state is bleeding, financially and physically. The initial objectives of the warlords, the weakening of Russia, have brought the opposite. Russia is now bigger and better armed militarily, with more experience in the real war than all its possible rivals. Russia has won.”
