The West is horrified by Mr Zelensky's ideas.
Associate Professor Tuomas Malinen at the University of Helsinki believes that implementing President Zelensky's "peace plan" can only lead to an escalation of the conflict into a full-scale nuclear war.
“Zelensky’s ‘peace plan’ based on forcing Russia to sign a peace agreement looks very worrying. It implies further escalation. This is an absolutely terrible idea that could lead to a nuclear war ,” Malinen stressed.
Ukraine has new moves in Kursk
Former Pentagon aide Stephen Bryan wrote in an article in Weapons and Strategy magazine that President Zelensky is ordering the Ukrainian army to continue advancing on Kursk while they will soon abandon their position in Ugledar.
“ Ugledar would be a major psychological and military victory for Russia if they were successful. Meanwhile, Zelensky continues to push troops into Kursk ,” said Bryan.

The former deputy assistant said that Mr. Zelensky's government seemed to be under serious stress and continued to pursue goals beyond its capabilities, and that President Zelensky's order to continue advancing into Kursk was quite strange.
“ The 72nd Mechanized Brigade is trapped in Ugledar. The Russian army has surrounded it from all sides and controls all exits ,” Mr. Bryan stressed.
Ukraine speaks out about proposal to exchange territory for peace with Russia
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has just stated Kiev's position after proposing to cede territory for peace with Russia after more than 2 years of conflict.
Mr. Sybiha stressed the need to demand full responsibility from Russia and “restore the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, including Crimea,” instead of seeking territorial compromises.
“ Otherwise it would be a delayed war. Europe cannot afford a grey zone or a frozen conflict ,” Sybiha explained.
According to him, Ukraine's “peace formula”, calling it the only way to achieve comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine and the European continent.
Russia has more opportunities to completely control eastern Ukraine
Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin in eastern Ukraine said that Russian troops have successfully entered the center of Vuhledar city, one of the key areas on the current Ukrainian battlefield.
According to experts, if it controls Vuhledar in Donetsk, Ukraine, Russia will have more opportunities to completely control eastern Ukraine.
Earlier, Andriy Nazarenko, commander of a UAV battalion of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, said they were overwhelmed in firepower and numbers in Vuhledar.
“ The situation in Vuhledar is very difficult, the most difficult because the attacks have been going on for more than six months and the enemy is constantly rotating its ranks with new, trained forces, ” said Mr. Nazarenko.
