So today Krasnov had another one of his now all too frequent pro-Putin dyspeptic blabbering after another meeting with Putin’s bag man Kirill Dmitriev. Krasnov came at Ukraine again ... pushing on Ukraine to “ move” to make peace. B’cos according to Krasnov, “Russia wants a peace deal”:
Trump claims Russia wants peace deal, urges Zelenskyy to “move”
“Russia wants to make a deal, and Zelensky is going to have to get moving. Otherwise, he is going to miss a great opportunity. He has to move,”

How many times does President Zelenskyy have to say it for Ukraine’s position to be really heard and understood in Washington, DC? Simply stated, the Ukrainian position is as clear as can be … “Ukraine will not cede any territory to Russia”. To Trump and his self-dealing cabal, the war is all about a “real estate deal” where land and properties can be shuffled around the game board until everyone shouts “deal !!”. It is not only disingenuous but actually quite condescending and insulting to characterize Ukraine’s twelve long years of struggle as tantamount to “a deal”.
But guess what? The ones who are really afraid that they are “going to miss a great opportunity"are the Russians.
Why do I say this? B’cos there are increasing indications that even as Ukrainian officials, including President Zelenskyy, continue urging Western allies for faster delivery of air defense systems and missiles to close the air defense gap, Ukraine herself is also ramping up her indigenous drone-based systems to better defend her sky. Russia’s window for terrorizing Ukraine’s sky with impunity is getting closer and ever closer to ending … in the manner former Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov urgently pleaded for the Western powers to do at the onset of the Russian aerial terror campaign … “Close the sky”(over Ukraine):
Reznikov urges to close sky over Ukraine in connection with attack on Yavoriv training ground
"Russia has attacked the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security near Lviv. Foreign instructors work here. Information about the victims is being clarified. This is new terrorist attack on peace and security near the EU-NATO border. Action must be taken to stop this. Close the sky!"

And when Ukraine does finally close her sky, what “cards” will Russia hold over Ukraine then?
To that end, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief, recently confirmed that work on developing a domestic anti-missile defense system is actively underway and progressing, leveraging Ukraine’s own historical expertise from the Soviet era, when it produced control systems for anti-aircraft complexes, to build a system comparable to the U.S.-made Patriot.
Syrskyi emphasized that the new system is being designed not only as an air defense platform but also as a dedicated anti-missile defense system, driven by the threat posed by Russia’s Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile:
Ukraine Is Developing an Advanced Missile Defense System to Counter Russia’s Oreshnik
When asked whether these Ukrainian air defense and missile systems are theoretical or already in progress, Syrskyi assured: “Work is actively underway in this direction. I hope we will achieve the desired results soon.”

And in case anyone doubts the ability of the Ukrainians to harness and leverage “Ukraine’s own historical expertise from the Soviet era, when it produced control systems for anti-aircraft complexes”, look no further than the other news today ... Ukrainian drone teams completely defeated NATO troops during the recent Hedgehog 2025 Exercises in Estonia:

Reportedly, the “defeat” was so thorough and surprising that it elicited comments like:
“We are f—”: 10 Ukrainians with drones wipe out two NATO battalions in war game
Participants described the overall outcome as devastating for alliance forces. In exercise terms, two battalions were rendered combat-ineffective in a single day. One commander observing the drill reportedly reacted with the words: “We are f—.”

At the rate ADAPTIVE INDOMITABLE UKRAINE is ramping up her military industrial complex, she may soon not need to listen to any more dyspeptic blabbering from Krasnov. Or anyone else for that matter.
Here’s a little bit of humble advice to the cabal in DC … the folks from Ukraine who you now look upon with condescending eyes as “supplicants” obliged to “do us a favor, though” and who you’re carelessly pushing to cede their beloved Ukraina to Putin … just so Krasnov can narcissistically claim to be the greatest peace-maker of all time ... will do no such thing.
Just as Zelenskyy did not sell out his country for a handful of Javelins, Ukraine will stand by her words … “Ukraine will not cede any territory to Russia”.
SLAVA UKRAINI ! PEREMOHA(Victory) !!
