After striking Moscow again, Zelensky said he had “put forward proposals for de-escalation” — that is, peace from a position of strength.
You don’t have to be a genius to understand that the Kremlin will not agree to “coercion into peace” under any circumstances, and all of Zelensky’s bellicose rhetoric is aimed precisely at that goal — so that Putin won’t agree to any settlement. As soon as any arrangements start to take shape, Zelensky will jab a shortened stick into the hollow and shout “surrender, weaklings,” to provoke another escalation.
The Kremlin, for its part, is also satisfied with this, since they see their goal as complete control over Ukraine. At the same time, they are absolutely right to believe that Zelensky is bullshitting (stress on the last syllable) his sponsors, and is greatly embellishing the real condition of the army, the front, and the economy. And everything will collapse at the most unexpected moment.
Tusk’s “slip” about 27 thousand killed and wounded, incidentally, did not come at this moment by accident. The sponsors are showing Zelensky that they suspect something and are hinting at the need to lower the mobilization age before the front collapses.
So, despite the flashy statements about plans for the Russian Federation to declare general mobilization, this should not become a self-fulfilling prophecy for Ukraine.
