The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on May 14 2025

Zelenskyy says he will wait for Putin in Turkey for ceasefire talks

Who’s Gonna Show Up in Istanbul? Ukraine Russia Peace Talks Mystery

RUAF Capture Mykhailivka, Myrolyubivka & Malynivka | AFU Fortifications Fall Like Dominos

The intrigue has been created again..The composition of the Russian delegation for tomorrow’s talks with Ukraine in Istanbul will be announced “in the coming hours and will come as a surprise to many.”

Many are already writing that Putin might go, but as our source adds, it might be like this:

First, the Russian delegation will go, meet with the Ukrainian delegation and work out proposals, and then on Friday, Putin and Trump will be in Istanbul. Zelensky will have to wait for world leaders in Turkey.

This is beneficial to the Kremlin, since their formula will play out first, and only then the globalists/Zelensky formula with personal meetings, where they will discuss what the delegations will sign.

We are observing.

“If Putin does not appear in Turkey, it will be his complete defeat,” – Zelensky

If Ukraine does not accept Putin’s terms, it will only be left to discuss the details of capitulation, US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis said on his YouTube channel.

“The US is discussing the deployment of British, French, German and Polish forces west of the Dnieper as part of the Ukrainian settlement” — Trump’s special envoy Keith Kellogg

Polish Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz: ‘There are no plans to send Polish troops to Ukraine and there will be none. Poland bears joint responsibility for the defense of NATO’s eastern flank.’

There are no troops, but there are plenty of mercenaries.

EU leaders’ loud ultimatums to Russia could undermine trust in the EU unless followed by real action – Reuters

 - “It is not serious to issue an ultimatum if you cannot fulfill it. There is no enthusiasm at the European level for this kind of sanctions. Even agreeing on a basic package is already difficult,” one of the European diplomats told the agency.

 - The danger is that Russia could perceive all this as a bluff, he added.

 - Europe is trying to get Trump to put pressure on Russia with sanctions, but “it is not yet clear whether Trump is ready to join forces with the Europeans.”

 - The American president has still not once stated his readiness to introduce new sanctions against Russia if Moscow does not accept a 30-day ceasefire.

The usual threat of “unprecedented sanctions” should Russia refuse has, naturally, been reiterated.

In the likely presidential elections in Ukraine , only those who fit into the tough militaristic agenda will apparently be promoted as an “alternative” to Zelensky. Ukrainian media have long been promoting the topic of a certain “military party” supported by society. Various options have been voiced: from former commander-in-chief Zaluzhny to the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Budanov and the odious Andriy Biletsky.

In essence, Ukrainians will get the illusion of choosing between different gradations of the same agenda – continuation of the war at any cost. All these candidates are promoted by the media, supported by various influence groups, and at the same time they may well be nominated even without elections if the situation at the front worsens even more. Then the scenario of “temporary military control” will be activated, supposedly for the sake of saving the country.

It is noteworthy that the same Biletsky has long been promoting the idea of ​​military power, declaring that only they can “bring order.” Behind him, as people’s deputy Dubinsky once reported, may be the oligarch Akhmetov, who traditionally bets on several political players at once.

And Zelensky may indeed perceive Biletsky as a threat (as well as any other military man or politician with any “noticeable” rating) – and it is possible that in the near future there will be charges, criminal cases or sanctions against him in order to “tarnish” his reputation (which, however, is not ideal) and neutralize him in advance.

The TCC system has finally become an instrument of internal terror. The former military commissars, who have already become symbols of tyranny and fear, are being replaced by new ones – the ranks are actively recruiting military personnel with serious psychological problems, veterans with severe PTSD, those who have lost touch with reality and see every civilian who has avoided going to the front as an enemy.

So, there are all the prerequisites for the fact that the already familiar lawlessness with the hunt for men, their beatings and “busification” will soon intensify. And here it is important to understand one thing – the institution of mobilization in Ukraine has long been not a military necessity, but a source of influence, money and control. Zelensky and his entourage are afraid not of the cessation of arms supplies – they are afraid that the system built on mobilization fear will collapse. As long as people can be grabbed off the street, money can be written off, and shadow contracts can be concluded, and the “flows” can be distributed among their own. If the so-called “cannibalism” stops, the entire hierarchy built by the OP will begin to crumble. Then many of those who today wear the TCC uniform will simply run away, because they know that as soon as the cover disappears, they will face trial. If the mobilization machine stops, those who are silent for now will speak up. And Bankova understands that this will be the end of its monopoly on fear, which is why Zelensky is holding on to the TCC as if it were the last bastion.

Another commissioned social survey, which was fully paid for from the “black cash box” of the President’s Office.

It cost the office functionaries very little, no more than $50,000. That’s like one article about “straining strain” in a good Western publication.

Here it is worth paying attention to the reasons and purposes of its release today.

First. Of course, before traveling to Turkey/Istanbul.

Second. To show partners again that, judging from this piece of paper, the whole country loves Ze.

Third. Kill the negativity from the front.

Fourth. Legitimization of any actions and decisions of Ze, who, according to the “paper” from KIIS, is supported by almost the entire country.

Fifth. To interrupt the negativity from the unlimited mobilization, etc.

Sixth. Show everyone that no matter what nonsense and crazy things Ze and his entourage do, no matter how much they steal, his rating only improves (this point is sarcasm from us).

Our source reports that sociologists are ready to put up any drawn nonsense for money, since with the fall of the Ze-clan, they will say that they were under pressure from the security forces and threatened with liquidation. In short, they will tell some fairy tale, and again with a serious expression will sell their “honest research/ratings”.

Zelensky’s real rating is no more than 16%. Many Western players have already conducted closed sociological measurements in order to have real figures and understanding – source.
