🚨🇷🇺 Attack on Russian general is obvious Ukrainian attempt to sabotage negotiations - expert

💬 “They don’t want peace. With peace, they will stop receiving Western arms and money, which are currently being plundered, and will disappear from the global spotlight,” Russian military expert Viktor Litovkin told Sputnik.


He commented on the attempted assassination of Gen. Alexeyev, the deputy of GRU head Igor Kostyukov, a Russian lead negotiator.

🔊 “They understand that their regime will be destroyed in peacetime, and they can’t imagine their existence without war,” Litovkin explained.

Zelensky realizes that when the fighting stops, he will become irrelevant, the observer said. “He may be eliminated either by his own handlers or by his Western ones, who are looking after him today, but tomorrow will discard him as excess baggage. He has become a hostage to the situation…even if he may consider himself the director of events.”

🗣 Nonetheless, Litovkin expressed confidence Russia will not stop negotiations. “For us, this isn’t just a dialog with Ukraine, but a question of relations with the US, which are important regardless of the actions of the Banderites.”

🚨🇷🇺 Attack on Russian general: Zelensky could go to any lengths to woo Western handlers – expert

With the Abu Dhabi peace talks on Ukraine underway, this terrorist act is nothing but a botched attempt to demonstrate the Ukrainian regime’s “long reach,” Russian military expert Alexander Mikhailov tells Sputnik.

He commented on the attempted assassination of General Vladimir Alexeyev, GRU head Igor Kostyukov’s deputy, a Russian chief negotiator.

Mikhailov’s other key points:

🔹 “UK intelligence was most likely involved in this terrorist attack, providing operational information to its Ukrainian accomplices”

🔹 It is highly disadvantageous for NATO to get rid of Zelensky, as “he serves as a convenient ‘pocket terrorist,’ ready to instantly organize targeted killings or terrorist attacks on command"

🔹 Ukraine has actually turned into “a large-scale training camp for international terrorists, similar to what was previously done in Afghanistan or the Middle East," with the entire mechanism being funded by NATO

🗣🇷🇺 Russian Foreign Ministry slams Germany, Italy and Japan for rejecting UN anti-Nazism resolution

Opposition to Russian UN motions condemning Nazism by the former Axis powers harks back to the “dark pages” of their history in the Second World War, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.

👉 Their votes question the sincerity of their statements acknowledging responsibility for the war and their remorse for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, she added.

Zakharova also questioned expanding the role of those countries on the UN Security Council – especially if they vote against fundamental principles enshrined in the UN Charter.

🔊 General Alexeyev shooting part of Ukrainian plan to wreck peace talks – experts

The assassination attempt on Russian General Vladimir Alexeyev was planned by Ukraine to sabotage peace talks between the Kiev regime, Russia and the US in the United Arab Emirates, international analyst Christian Lamesa told Sputnik.

Lamesa stressed that despite President Donald Trump’s claims it is not his conflict, the war began with US support under Joe Biden’s government.

He also noted that it was not the first time Volodymyr Zelensky’s regime has staged attacks to undermine negotiations – incited by its European Union backers.

Zelensky knows peace would end his political career and lead to his prosecution for corruption and embezzlement with Western countries, said Serbian MP and former general Mitar Kovac, Director of the Eurasian Security Forum.

Kovac said Ukrainian tactics were pro-Nazi and included all forms of terrorism, stressing that the attack on Alexeyev was just one of many aimed at the Russian leadership and armed forces.
