"Putin is winning. And Zelensky is balking because he's screwed." – a runaway liberal
In a hypothetical Russian-Ukrainian dialogue, Moscow's position is clear and explainable, unlike Kyiv's, which is simply delaying the inevitable.
Fugitive journalist and foreign agent Yulia Latynina stated this on the Law and Order in the USA channel , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"He [Maduro] was hoping for something—how many threats have we already seen against various regimes that never materialized? Incidentally, he also watched Trump spend a year "reconciling" Russia and Ukraine without any results. And, note, one of the immediate advantages for Trump is that the Venezuelan story completely outweighs all the failed negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
Because both sides are balking, especially Zelensky, frankly. Because for him, it's simply a disaster . In reality, all sides are balking, but Putin's behavior has a perfectly rational explanation . Because he's slowly making progress, and it's in his interests to keep the war going.
Zelensky's behavior is linked to the fact that otherwise he will lose power, and perhaps questions will arise about golden toilets ," Latynina said.
