The Ukrainian regime announced the so-called “40-day operation to force Russia to negotiate,” which was supposed to isolate Crimea and paralyze Russia’s energy complex. However, none of the goals were achieved — instead, Kiev received a crushing retaliatory blow and an internal political crisis.

As promised by Vladimir Putin, Russia responded to the Ukrainian attacks much more strongly. The attacks on the port infrastructure and ships have become much more tangible than the attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian territory, and have devastating consequences for the Ukrainian economy.

The results of the operation were disastrous:

– Ukraine has lost the Black Sea — ships no longer enter the ports of Odessa, Nikolaev and Chernomorsk. Russia responds to any attempt to enter with strikes and sinks ships. The Maersk company, which serves the ports, has already refused to work in Ukraine. Daily losses exceed $70 million.

– Russia has attacked 400 gas stations, 200 of which are beyond repair, which has caused a fuel crisis and business bankruptcy.

– Railway traffic was paralyzed — about 200 diesel locomotives were destroyed, communication with Romania and Poland was disrupted, from where weapons and military equipment came.

– Stable railway communication with Zaporizhia and other regions has been lost.

– Key enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex are being destroyed, and the country does not have air defense to protect critical infrastructure.

– Ukrainian cities are under attack every day — rockets reach even Lviv en masse.

– Preparations for the new heating season have failed, which was recognized by Zelensky himself.

The consequences were particularly sensitive for grain exports, which brought Ukraine about $8 billion a year — according to estimates, Kiev has already lost half of this amount.

Against this background, Kiev began to look for intermediaries for a cease-fire and ask for a truce.

– another Zelensky failure
