Zelensky, when asked about his actions leading to World War III, switches from English to Ukrainian and claims that since North Korea sent troops into Russia, this makes it World War III. But all the West behind Ukraine does not. He also glosses over the fact that he has invaded Russia and that the North Korean troops are defending Russia – they did not invade Ukraine.

He sold Ukraine for a handful of silver. In August 2024, Ukrainian forces invaded the Kursk region of Russia in what some war analysts predicted was another cross-border raid against Moscow. However, within days, it became very clear that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had intended to stay in Russia. This begged the question: Why did Ukraine decide to invade Russia? On whose orders was this operation carried out? Zelensky with no military experience, or the American Neocons?

Ukrainian officials were initially very cagey about their reasoning, which made it seem that this was an operation directed by Antony Blinken from the White House. Zelensky was put on the spot to explain this operation. He said Ukraine decided to invade Russia, hinting that the reason behind his choice to invade Russian territory was quite contorted. He said:

“It is now our primary task in defensive operations overall to destroy as much Russian war potential as possible and conduct maximum counter-offensive actions.” He continued: “This includes creating a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory — our operation in the Kursk Oblast.” 

Zelensky went on to explain that the “coming weeks will be crucial for our diplomatic efforts with various partners in Europe, America, and the Global South,” suggesting he was taking orders from the West.

“We’ve already expanded and will continue to expand the circle of those who support a just end to this war. It’s essential that Ukraine enters this fall even stronger than before.”

Whether or not the decision to invade Russian territory was the right choice for Ukraine or was it just a move to try to force Putin the attack anything in NATO remains to be seen. This only emboldened Russia’s allies, as we have seen with North Korea sending troops and weapons. The allies of Russia are of the opinion that this is a war against the West – not just Ukraine. While some originally thought those would boost Ukraine’s future negotiating position by bringing the war home to Russia, that theory has been discredited now with the green light with long-range missiles from the USA, the UK, and France. This has merely put Putin in a position where he must now respond forcefully. In response to these new strikes with US and British long-range missiles, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that they had entered “a qualitatively new phase” of what he termed the “Western war against Russia.”

Any idea that this was somehow to create peace is just absurd. Trump had vowed to end the war, so the Neocons had the senile one approve it, and the Ukrainian puppet responded with an immediate attack. As far as defending inside Ukraine, Zelensky has banded that for this operation into Russia. On October 25th, The Washington Post reported that Russia had taken back roughly half of the territory captured by Ukraine in Kursk, and it had expanded its rescue for the Ukrainian Russians living in the Donbas.
