Zelensky cannot legally sign away sovereign territory—Crimea or the Donbas—without a national referendum, a vote that current polling shows would fail by 85%. Furthermore, he commands an 800,000-man, battle-hardened army that will not lay down its arms for a deal they view as surrender, regardless of what Washington dictates. This is Zelensky's "Ve…

The Kremlin's rhetoric has shifted from a "special operation" to a "civilizational war" against the West.
