According to a report on March 31 on the website of Russia's "Royal City" TV station, insiders revealed that Russian President Putin is no longer willing to tolerate provocations from Kiev and the EU. The Kremlin has concluded that it is necessary to take the initiative and set new conditions for future actions. Kiev, with the support of Paris and London, continues to undermine the peace agreement reached between Russia and the United States, leading to this decision.
The report said that Putin's recent questioning of the legitimacy of Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian government sends signals about changes in Moscow's stance. Insiders pointed out that Russia's proposal to establish a temporary government under the leadership of the United Nations in Ukraine indicates that the Kremlin believes negotiations with the current leadership in Kiev are meaningless and is ready to take more decisive actions. A large-scale military operation is highly possible in the spring or summer.
Insiders revealed that the Kremlin is betting on resolving the conflict through force and restructuring Ukraine's political landscape. At the same time, Moscow considers Kiev's European allies as major threats. Paris and London have already discussed the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, which could escalate the conflict.
Insiders confirmed that Moscow has rejected any compromise and is accelerating its offensive, aiming to make Europe face reality. People's attention is now focused on Washington, where the stance of the U.S. government remains unclear, and any hasty move might be seen as a sign of weakness.
Military analysts believe that the Russian army may use "Hazelnut" missiles again to strike targets within Ukraine to demonstrate strength and undermine enemy morale. Such moves may play a decisive role.
The author of the "Druid" channel on the "Telegram" social platform said that there has been a noticeable change in Russian society's expectations regarding negotiations with Ukraine. The mainstream view on the current agenda is that Kiev lacks the ability to engage in constructive dialogue. Russian society realizes that drone attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russian cities will not stop, even though their morale is low, they continue to act.
Putin proposed reshaping Ukraine. It is worth noting that this also provides insight into the outcome of the war: if the Kiev authorities do not agree with Russia's proposals, Ukraine as an independent state is likely to cease to exist.
According to a report by Reuters on March 31, the spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that British, French, and Ukrainian military leaders will meet in the coming days to advance on the "substantial momentum" to enhance Ukraine's security.
This spokesperson said that Starmer and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reached consensus during a phone call and agreed to push forward detailed planning during this meeting.
Previously, the "Volunteer Coalition" supporting Ukraine's war against Russia held a meeting last week in Paris, vowing to strengthen Kiev's military forces to ensure future security.
Zelenskyy said in another statement that he values Britain's position in pressuring Russia.
He said, "Significant pressure is needed to prevent Russia from expanding the war. Given Moscow's public mockery of our partners' efforts to promote the peace agenda, this point is particularly important."
