Live Report from Kursk attack will force Russia to negotiate, says top Zelensky adviser. British Summer Time To Get Russia to negotiate on Ukraine's terms is one of the objectives behind its incursion into Russia, a senior aide to President Zelensky says. Ukraine is not interested in occupying Russian territories," explains Mykhailo Podolyak in a statement on social media.
"But if we are talking about potential negotiations – I emphasize potential – we will have to put [Russia] at the table opposite. On our own terms."
Ukraine showing that it is capable of occupying Russian territory would be a "proven, effective means of coercion" to force Russia into negotiations, Podolyak says.
"In Kursk region, clearly can see how military tool is being used objectively to persuade [Russia] to enter fair or unfair negotiation," he says. Podolyak says incursion will influence public opinion b'cos "Russians were obviously scared, are shocked by by ability of Ukraine's forces to enter 100x100 km Russian territory. If Russians keep mentioning nuclear weapons all the time. Putin/Russia can perhaps is more & more making this threat lest, less & less effective it becomes?.
From me (tee) I'm thinking is negative for now. There are no chance it can change anythings for now. The psychological state of Russian population now is in real-time of be very shock after trying not to face, real war at their main house or at their main gate, if there is one more or another war front to argument for a start of trying to negotiation, then they can have a one chance to seriously to start negotiations, it mean if there are one more shock to come. those Russians soldiers will not try use serious firepower inside Russia on their own urban areas, (if's on for Putin order, then will his (Putin) will try to kill his folks or not?), Russians trying to eject Ukrainians army, for now is very hard for Russians/Putin's to try even using, even use tactical nuclear weapon on their own territory, or even on Ukraine, me (tee) is saying if Putin can't use even if he want to use it to threaten against Ukraine, in it truth, he can only (Putin) retaliation against Ukraine is more to be ramping up more of long-range strike campaign on Ukrainian infrastructure, power generators & other civilian targets to inflict to gain political pain on Zelensky, particularly on or when winter is approaches.
