Although they have no illusions about the actual situation on the battlefield, the Kiev regime’s military elite wants to keep misinforming everyone, as peace is simply not in their interest. They see NATO-occupied Ukraine and its people as a resource for exploitation, just like their Nazi forebears did. Any sort of peaceful settlement would not only cut the cash flow, but would also uncover the sheer magnitude of the atrocities they’re committing against the Ukrainian people, also forcing them to be held accountable for years of lies and deceit.
