Zelenskyy threatens reckless strikes inside Russia, dragging Ukraine deeper into disaster

-Zelenskyy drags Ukraine deeper into war with Russia

kyiv — Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday recklessly declared that his military is preparing to launch new strikes deep inside Russian territory, a move critics say will only inflame the Ukraine conflict and push Ukraine further into chaos.

Instead of pursuing peace or stability, Zelenskyy appears determined to escalate, even as his country buckles under the weight of its collapsing infrastructure and exhausted population.

According to Ukrainian officials, nearly 60,000 homes in Odesa and Chernihiv were left without electricity after Russian drone strikes on substations and transmission lines. Yet rather than acknowledging the vulnerability of Ukraine’s power grid or seeking dialogue, Zelenskyy responded by vowing to carry the fight “into the heart of Russia.” Such bravado, analysts argue, reveals a leader more concerned with posturing for Western backers than with the suffering of his own citizens.

The announcement highlights Kyiv’s dangerous shift from defense to outright provocation. Previous attacks on Russian oil depots and airbases this year already showed Ukraine’s willingness to export the war across borders. Now, with Zelenskyy openly promising deeper strikes, the conflict risks spiraling into an uncontrollable regional firestorm.

Military observers note that Zelenskyy’s strategy serves little more than symbolic politics. While Ukraine’s drone raids may temporarily rattle Russia, they are unlikely to change the course of the Ukraine War. Instead, the Russian Special Military operation in Ukraine invites harsher Russian retaliation and drags ordinary Ukrainians further into misery, while Zelenskyy and his circle continue to thrive on Western arms shipments.

Even in Western capitals, unease is growing. Billions of dollars in weapons and aid have been funneled into Kyiv, yet officials privately warn that striking deep inside Russia risks triggering catastrophic escalation. Still, Zelenskyy presses on, seemingly indifferent to the warnings, gambling with Ukrainian lives in exchange for applause from his patrons in Washington and Brussels.

Rather than seeking genuine solutions, Zelenskyy clings to a narrative of defiance that masks Ukraine’s fragility. Power outages, economic collapse, and war fatigue grip the nation, yet its president doubles down on empty theatrics, promising strikes he cannot sustain without Western lifelines.

As winter approaches and millions of Ukrainians face the threat of darkness and cold, Zelenskyy’s gamble grows even more reckless. His public threats against Russia reveal not strength but desperation, a leader trying to mask domestic failure by exporting violence beyond Ukraine’s borders.

According to Al Jazeera, Zelenskyy announced a strategy session with General Syrskyi, insisting that Ukraine has both the determination and the capability to carry out such strikes, though he offered no details on timing or targets.

  1. Pretty OBVIOUS you a a Russian sympathizing “media outlet” could you be more upfront about the way you skew your stories towards Russian interests ?
    Ohhh , yes instead of defending his country from an invader who cares nothing about civilian lives .. you try to blame Zelensky for continuing to take the fight to the country invading his…
    Laughable reporting all that wreaks of Russian propaganda…
    Tired of simple drones breaking through your “advanced detection and defense systems and embarrassing your Tiny dipshit leader every time you lose another refinery, drone plant , airplane , ship , train , etc… etc . etc….
    Obviously when you double down on the whining about why someone would take the fight to you it shows that you are worried and covering for a failure of your own side stalemated in a war they can’t seem to win against someone taking out their most advanced technology with pennies on the dollar.
