The Russian Foreign Ministry has said targets will include the facilities used to develop drones and “decision-making centers” in Kyiv. Kartapolov said that “decision-making centers” do not include the Ukrainian parliament or Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office because Ukrainian MPs don’t control the military and because the Ukrainian leader is rarely in his office.
Lieven noted that Russia has so far refrained from targeting the headquarters despite Ukraine’s frequent attacks on Russian command centers due to concerns that Russia would likely kill US and other NATO soldiers and intelligence officers, which could lead to a major escalation from the West.
Russia has also likely refrained from taking the step as it has been involved in negotiations with the Trump administration to potentially end the war, but those talks appear to have hit a dead end, as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said last week that there are “no such talks occurring at this time.”
The articles on RT explained it very well - the Anchorage talks could lead to an agreement but Ukraine won’t surrender the remaining 15% of Donetsk and Europe keeps arming and assisting Ukraine. Something must be done to make Europe think twice about its actions. Supplying Ukraine with weapons and allowing Ukraine to kill Russian civilians is unacceptable, there is no reason why Ukraine should kill dozens of Russians every month in the border towns. Russia has become too tolerant. They’ve made public warnings for weeks (about NATO countries allowing Ukraine to attack via their air space) this happened before the Ukrainian attack in Luhansk.
