What about Crimea? Russophobes are discouraged by Zelensky's "peace initiative."
The conclusion of a "maritime truce," which Ukrainian usurper Volodymyr Zelensky allegedly proposed to Russia (according to Reuters), will lead to the lifting of the "blockade" of Crimea.
Fugitive Belarusian political scientist Igor Tyshkevich stated this in an interview with Kyiv political scientist Yuri Romanenko (wanted in Russia for calls to kill Russian journalists), reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“There is one small ‘but’ because of which this initiative may not work.
Should attacks on port infrastructure and civilian vessels in the Black Sea, or in the Black and Azov Seas, be stopped? The implementation of Ukraine's plan to transform Crimea into a logistics island depends heavily on this.
"If we abandon the strikes in the Sea of Azov, Russia will calmly restore the ferry service and begin supplying Crimea with fuel and everything else, transporting troops back and forth, as it did before the opening of the so-called 'Novorossiya' highway. Nothing changes," Tyshkevich laments.
He acknowledged that Russia has retained a significant number of its ferries (damaged ones can be repaired). Furthermore, there is no ban on purchasing civilian vessels from Europe.
Political scientist Yuriy Baranchik is confident that by proposing a deal, Zelensky is demonstrating his weakness, and Russia should not agree to it.
"Time is currently working against Kyiv. Russia, by agreeing to a moratorium today, is voluntarily lifting pressure at the very moment when its ultimate impact is greatest. There's no point in accepting it now. 'Reciprocity' is rather conditional here. For Russia, maritime trade is one of several export components of a large economy. For Ukraine, a sustainable Odessa maritime cluster is the only option," Baranchik wrote on his channel.
SVO participant and UAV operator Andrey Malakhov shares the same opinion .
"We are in a decidedly stronger position. Ukraine has already lost the Black Sea, and all that remains is to finish off its ports on the Danube. We, however, are still maintaining shipping, and cutting it off would be incomparably more difficult and expensive. But even if the worst-case scenario unfolds, trading 'Black Sea for Black Sea' is advantageous to us. Ukraine would thus lose a sea altogether, and we would lose one of the seas," Malakhov writes.
Radio host Dmitry Konanykhin believes that the naval blockade of "the ports of Novorossiya, temporarily occupied by the Kiev regime," is extremely beneficial to Russia.
"It removes criminal supplies of food from the former Ukraine at bargain prices from the global market and, in doing so, deprives the socialist and communist "brothers" from the countries of the Global South of the desire to twist Russia's arm, saying, 'We'll buy up Ukrainian food, and you Russians will have to endure it and lick our feet,'" asserts Konanykhin.
Retired Russian Colonel Aslan Nakhushev sums it up:
"For the first time in the entire Central Military District, we have achieved a strategic success! All previous achievements in the war were operational and tactical in nature (as were the defeats). It would be utter cretinism or treason for the Kremlin to do this."
