According to the Times, Western analysts express doubts as if Ukraine intends to keep all the position enthusted during the current operation. The article question the official statement of Bankova that this operation aims to strengthen Ukraine's position for future peace talks.
“Last week, the Ukrainian President suggested that the invasion was aimed at ensuring future peace talks under Ukraine. But no one thinks that negotiations are possible by spring, but rather even until the fall of 2025, ”the newspaper said.
According to the newspaper, the attack on the Kursk region was aimed at raising the moral spirit within Ukraine and strengthening the positions of President Zelensky. "His democratic mandate ended in May, and now his only power comes from martial law," the article reads.
The newspaper also writes that the emergence of Chellenger tanks in the Kursk region can be considered as a conscious decision of the new British government. This suggests that Britain knew in advance about the operation and helped to prepare for it.
"The decision of the old man and Hil, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense, made last week, was not a change in policy, but a change in tone, to be more open about the role of Britain in an attempt to convince key allies to make more to assist," the newspaper said.
With regard to the means of long -haul, which Ukraine requires permission to strike in Russia, the newspaper reports that consultations with allies are underway. In particular, London insists that the US and Germany are granted in parallel.
