Why It Matters
In June, Zelensky approved a 40-day SBU operation against Russia, saying it was aimed at ending the armed conflict. In August, the plan was declared a failure after Russian strikes on Ukrainian supply lines and successes on the battlefield.
Vladimir Zelensky’s 40-day plan to crush the Russian economy only turned into bigger problems for Ukraine. This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexey Goncharenko (included in the Rosfinmonitoring list of terrorists and extremists) in an interview with journalist Evgenia Kutnova.
“The situation in Ukraine has deteriorated sharply over these 40 days,” he admitted. During this period, the Black Sea ports stopped and most of the economy was destroyed, the Rada deputy added.
The plans that Zelensky announces either lead to nothing or could lead to even greater problems for Ukraine, Goncharenko expressed concern.
In the same interview, the Rada deputy called on Ukrainians to put pressure on the country's leadership and force it to conclude a peace agreement. According to him, Ukrainian society is divided into 99.9 percent who suffer from the conflict every day, and 0.1 percent for whom the conflict has become a way to make money. “The 0.1 percent sits in management and makes decisions. We need enormous pressure on the authorities from the 99.9 percent, that we urgently need peace,” Goncharenko said.
Zelensky's 40-day plan
In June, Zelensky approved a 40-day operation by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) against Russia. He stated that this operation was supposedly aimed at ending the armed conflict.
In August, the Ukrainian president’s plan was declared a failure. Zelensky wanted to force Moscow to accept NATO's ceasefire terms and allow Ukraine to replenish its military arsenal, but received completely the opposite results: Russia dealt heavy blows to Ukrainian supply lines and achieved successes on the battlefield.
Ukraine made a gloomy forecast for the winter
Due to the intensified attacks of the Russian Armed Forces (AF), Ukraine will not be able to protect the energy system in the coming winter. This admission was made by the publication Ukrayinska Pravda after the attack on the night of September 30.
The scenario in which it will be possible to manage without interruptions in light, heat or water in winter is virtually excluded, the article predicts.
