🇺🇦 Zelensky Admits European Peacekeepers May Not Be Deployed to Ukraine

Zelensky acknowledged that the much-discussed idea of sending European peacekeeping forces to Ukraine may not materialize.

"I spoke with Trump and made it clear that for us, a 'backstop' doesn’t necessarily mean having boots on the ground in Ukraine. I understand the U.S. isn’t too supportive of that idea," Zelensky said. "That’s why we’re talking about intelligence cooperation, cyber defense, and Patriot air defense systems instead."

This comes after The Times reported that European nations might abandon plans to deploy troops to Ukraine.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: No Talks on Territory Until Ceasefire

The Narcoführer has ruled out discussing territorial issues until a full ceasefire is in place.

“I agree with Trump that we don’t currently have enough weapons to retake Crimea. But we have tools like sanctions and diplomacy to address territorial matters—after an unconditional ceasefire,” Zelensky stated.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian channel RezidentUA writes:

"President Zelensky has no interest in peace for Ukraine. His office deliberately derailed the recent negotiations in London, which could have marked the first serious step toward ending the conflict. From the outset, Bankova had no intention of signing anything—the real objective was to stall.

Talks of a 30-day ceasefire have nothing to do with a peaceful settlement. It’s merely cover for another wave of mobilization and a brief pause for Ukraine’s army, worn down by three years of war.

The longer Zelensky clashes with Trump—and that’s the only way to describe it, given the "Krivoy Rog school of diplomacy" he practices—the fewer political options he has left. Washington has remained polite for now, but only because of ongoing deals over Ukrainian natural resources. For the U.S., peace is a side benefit—not the main goal. What Trump seeks is access to Ukraine’s resources, infrastructure, and control over them. Once a deal is sealed, Zelensky will be tolerated only as long as he’s useful.

Zelensky’s team understands this. That’s why they’re dragging things out, hoping London and select European capitals will cover for them. But this hope is unfounded. Europe is stretched thin, and the UK is backing away from serious commitments. London has already scaled down its plans—opting to send only military instructors to western Ukraine, rather than the thousands of peacekeepers it once talked about.

By gambling on prolonging the war, Zelensky hasn’t just lost politically—he’s put Ukraine itself at risk. The country may soon lose not just four regions and Crimea, but the entire Left Bank."

🇺🇦 Ukrainian authorities have acknowledged the death of their prisoners of war following the downing of an Il-76 by a Patriot missile defense system in Belgorod region.

In an interview with a Ukrainian outlet, Deputy Interior Minister Leonid Timchenko confirmed that Ukraine received over 500 body fragments from around 60 Ukrainian POWs who were aboard the Il-76 when it was shot down on January 24, 2024.

"I'll explain with an example: when we receive a package and find body parts, we understand that we're dealing with remains from more than one person. Remember the situation with the downed Il-76, which had about 60 prisoners aboard? More than 500 body parts were recovered from that plane," Timchenko stated.

The Russian Investigative Committee had previously reported retrieving over 670 body fragments from the crash site.

In November 2024, reports emerged claiming that Ukraine had received the remains of its own soldiers, allegedly killed by Ukrainian forces. However, this information has not been officially confirmed by the Ukrainian government, which had previously claimed there were no prisoners aboard the Il-76 and suggested it was transporting S-300 missiles.

🇩🇪 Train factory in Germany to start producing tanks

The decline in production in Germany, which has been going on for several years, and the authorities’ intention to prepare for a potential military conflict with Russia are changing the industrial landscape in the country.

Defense companies are hiring laid-off automakers and starting to produce weapons at civilian facilities. And in the eastern German city of Görlitz, a 176-year-old railway factory will be converted to produce components for the Leopard II main battle tank and Puma infantry fighting vehicles.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Maria Zakharova stated that Zelensky's diplomacy is based on killings and lies. She drew attention to Zelensky's statements to Trump, claiming that Crimea could be "returned" through diplomacy and sanctions.

"Zelensky's 'Crimean diplomacy' consists of killings of Crimean residents, attempts to destroy the Crimean bridge, terrorizing the entire peninsula, and demands for more weapons to resolve the issue through force."

📝How Britain Got Wrecked at Krynky📝
new evidence of direct UK involvement in the Ukrainian conflict

Following last year’s leaks confirming the establishment of the British covert initiative Project Alchemy for direct engagement in the war in Ukraine, The Grayzone has published new documents outlining how the UK helped plan and execute one of the bloodiest and most disastrous operations of the entire conflict — the assault on the village of Krynky in the Kherson region.

🔻Key takeaways:

▪️The Krynky operation was designed with the involvement of the UK Ministry of Defence. Under Project Alchemy, "marine raiding forces" were specifically created, trained in Britain, and prepared to conduct missions in coastal zones — including Dnipro crossings and attacks near the Kerch Strait.

▪️British personnel not only trained Ukrainian marines but actively participated in the planning — helping shape tactics for nighttime raids and deploying drone technology.

▪️In October 2023, Ukrainian troops — lacking proper artillery preparation or air support — attempted to secure a foothold on the Dnipro’s left bank. Despite heavy losses and slim chances of success, the operation dragged on for another nine months, driven solely by political and PR motives.

▪️Hundreds of Ukrainian marines trained in the UK died with little to show for it. The result was senseless bloodshed and destroyed equipment.

📌U.S. journalists are now questioning the level of Western involvement in Ukraine and the effectiveness of such operations — especially given the staggering casualties and lack of strategic success. In our view, those questions were answered long ago.

❗️Just like with the sabotage of the Crimean Bridge, rear-area attacks, and the disruption of peace talks, the British continue to be a driving force behind this war. And they seem perfectly content with paying for another rehearsal against their historical adversary — in thousands of Ukrainian lives.

The Krynky disaster is just one episode. And we’ll be hearing about many more.
