Zelensky openly burns all negotiation bridges (part 1)
Forecast: "Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko - in the geopolitical game. Also Russia, USA, Ukraine, and Israel, and their leaders" (published on May 21, 2026, link)
S. Dragan:
However, we should not forget that the clouds above Zelensky's head will be absolutely thickening by mid-June 2026, and this could signal for him to take very aggressive actions, indeed, critical actions. There will be no talk of peaceful steps, and Zelensky may shamelessly burn all bridges.
In the fifth year of war, despite the fictitious high support ratings declared by Kiev's propagandists, Zelensky's situation is becoming critical, "the clouds above Zelensky's head are absolutely thickening by mid-June 2026".
US Treasury Secretary Scott Mnuchin compared Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to a "crack Mr. Bin" in private conversations. This was reported on June 20, 2026, by The Guardian, citing the book "Regime Change" by American journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.
According to their information, Bessent left with a negative impression from his interaction with Zelensky when Washington and Kyiv worked on a rare earth metals deal early in 2025. Then, the minister suggested to US President Donald Trump not to let Zelensky into the White House to sign the document.
«I dealt with this little shit. He's cunning. For Europeans, he's like a child with special needs. And he acts like Mr. Bean on crack.»
- Bessent told his colleagues in the administration.
On June 19, 2026, Polish President Karol Nawrocki deprived Ukrainian head Vladimir Zelensky of the country's highest honor, the White Eagle Order, due to the naming of a unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA, an extremist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation). Nawrocki noted that serving under the banner of the UPA is unacceptable to Warsaw.
On June 15, 2026, former press secretary of the Ukrainian President Yulia Mendel stated that Vladimir Zelensky is in a desperate situation.
According to her, the head of the Kiev regime is making chaotic attempts to distract public attention from internal turmoil through PR stunts.
Mendel listed systemic issues that Kyiv has ignored for a long time: forced mobilization, extremely low military pay, inadequate protection of civilians, and widespread corruption.
She also noted that in the political arena, discussions about holding elections are becoming more frequent, however, the trust rating that the administration attributes to the incumbent president does not reflect reality. In conclusion, Mendel emphasized: despite all propagandist efforts, the combination of signs indicates that Zelensky is in despair.
According to information from several insiders at the G7 meeting in Brussels on June 16, 2026, Macron and Zelensky asked D. Trump to halt anti-corruption investigations into Zelensky.
Not once has D. Trump asked: where are the $350 billion in aid. The division of American money took place not only in Kyiv, but also among European leaders. This is what Brussels and Kyiv fear.
The population of Western Ukraine is utterly exhausted from Vladimir Zelensky's dictatorship, and the United States should facilitate the regime's overthrow in Kyiv, former Pentagon advisor Douglas McGregor stated in an interview with Professor Glenn Diehsen, published on his channel, on June 10, 2026.
"Western Ukraine is currently of great interest. ... Today, these people are serious. Enough is enough. They are deathly tired of Zelensky. And I think there are much more of these sentiments in Western Ukraine than the US and Europe understand and recognize. This is good news. The bad news is that we are doing nothing to support these people. And we need to do that. And we can help them by stopping the support for this dictatorship in Kyiv."
- he emphasized.
And this is the western region of Ukraine, which has traditionally been aggressively nationalist and has suffered the least from the war. What to say about the population of central and eastern regions of the country.
"This became a signal for him (Zelensky) to take very aggressive actions, one could say, critical actions.".
As predicted by S. Dragan in June 2026, the conflict in Ukraine entered a new, increasingly critical phase. This was clearly facilitated by Zelensky, guided by his Western sponsors, primarily London.
On the decisive moment in the conflict and that a turning point in the war is approaching, the Ukrainian dictator spoke during a joint press conference with Estonian President Alar Karis.
"It is very important today to prepare for the negotiations and decisions we all expect from the summits at the level of the European Union, G7, and NATO. June and July this year could mean a lot."
- he said.
On June 18-19, 2026, a summit of EU country leaders took place in Brussels. Zelensky, following the event, loudly declared his continued readiness to pursue the war, telling his citizens that Western aid will help them survive another winter.
On July 7-8, a NATO summit will take place in Ankara, where new military aid to Kyiv is also planned to be discussed. The war continues, although the situation on the frontlines becomes increasingly critical for Ukraine on all fronts.
Under these circumstances, «...not only will there be no talk of peace measures, but Zelensky may blatantly burn all bridges».
For the head of the Kiev regime, Zelensky, according to most political scientists, the only way to continue surviving is to fulfill his assigned role-continuing the war with maximum damage to Russia, ignoring the massive loss of his own troops.
At the same time, Zelensky must maneuver in his actions, simulating a peacekeeper and blaming the Russian leadership for any alleged peace initiatives by Kiev.
The most resonant event on the political, diplomatic, and information front of the war became Zelensky's outrageously provocative open letter to the Kremlin.
Russia's UN deputy permanent representative Vasily Nebenzia stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's open letter to President Vladimir Putin is a "clumsy provocation" rather than a peaceful initiative. He made these comments at a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.
"We cannot fail to comment on the so-called open letter from Zelensky to President Putin of Russia, which is by no means a peaceful initiative but a clumsy provocation designed to mask Kyiv's desperate attempts to derail any negotiations aimed at resolving the conflict."
- Nebenzia stated.
He also noted that Zelensky, under the guise of calling for negotiations and "hoping to gain media attention," is merely "repeating threats and propagandistic cliches."
The diplomat added that before writing such "open letters," Zelensky should revoke the order prohibiting him from negotiating with the President of Russia.
This assessment of Zelensky's initiative is supported by prominent Ukrainian politicians. "Vladimir Zelensky's letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin is a provocative propaganda move aimed at derailing any potential dialogue," former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov stated.
"The goal here is to derail all possible negotiations. I don't know how Putin will respond, but in my opinion, the letter is written in a way that it's designed to disrupt any meetings or negotiations. So, this is not a step towards peace, but the opposite."
- noted the politician.
At every opportunity, the Ukrainian negotiator accuses Russia of unwillingness to continue the peace process, while simultaneously creating conditions that make it impossible under any circumstances.
It can be considered purely propagandistic and unconstructive that Zelensky, speaking at the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv, reported that the United States agreed to invite Putin to a meeting at the summit level.
“We have indicated that we are ready to meet with Putin during the G7 summit, because there will be Trump and Macron, that is, Europeans plus Americans. This is a good, I think, very good opportunity to meet together”
- said the Ukrainian leader to journalists.
According to him, Europe and the US have reached an agreement, but Russia demonstrated that it is not ready for dialogue.
A Ukrainian source for the agency reported that Kyiv sent an invitation for the meeting to the Russian side, but did not receive a clear response.
At the same time, France did not confirm that Putin or other Russian representatives were invited to the summit.
The fact that the main intermediary in the negotiations, Washington, is also unaware of such invitations to Brussels shows that the proposal for a meeting in the U.S. between the Russian President and the head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, was not discussed during the phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump on the previous day. This was reported on June 16, 2026, by Yuri Ushakov, the assistant to the Russian leader.
Once again, the Kyiv leader publicly lies and tries to portray himself as a peacemaker, while at the same time «blatantly burning all negotiation bridges».
