[Westfälische Nachrichten] The Ukrainian government has firmly rejected an Italian media report that it is ready for a ceasefire with Russia along the current front line. “This is untrue,” said Dmytro Lytvyn, advisor and speechwriter to President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, according to a report by the Interfax-Ukraine agency.

Ukraine continues to adhere to the peace formula published in autumn 2022, which is based on the complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory, he emphasized. “The Victory Plan, which is currently being presented to Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany, is an instrument that will drive the situation towards the implementation of the peace formula.”

If it were true (I have no clue, but consider everything possible), it would illustrate how very desperate the Ukrainian situation now is.
Brace yourself. Winter is coming. It will collect rich harvest this time. Their eneryg grid is practically down, is destroyed to over 80%.

Some days ago media reported the desertation of a famous Ukrainian volunteer who fought the Russians since 2014, condstantly. He did so in the open, in the public, under running cameras, so to speak, letting the public know that all soldiers have inner limits of what they can endure and bear and that there needs to be more rotation and recruiting justice for serving soldiers, a limitation of serving time. You can hardly accuse him of cowardice or treason - he volunteered and stayed for ten years, fighting these ten year all along, and now did what he did to force public and politlical focussing on a key issue that goes wrong.

The problem is - taken from a linked story I posted some days ago - that the average age of Ukrainain soldiers now is 41, meanign that those now fighting are the last generation off offsprings from the last Sovjet baby boomer generation. This in reverse means that they have only very few young men left who are young and not oldere than in their early twenties. And these young men are who are desperately needed for Ukraine to rebuild and reconstruct and repopulate the ciuntry after the war once has ended. That is the reason why Kyiv is so hesitent to completely crack down on them and recruit them by all force a state would be able to impose. Its a demographic dilemma which has no moral and just solution (thats what makes it a dilemma).
