“This will be the Kremlin’s sixteenth deadline”: What does Ukrainian brigade that hit 57,000 Russian targets think of fresh peace talks?

Ukraine’s negotiating hand is dealt on the battlefield, not at the table, says Yurii Fedorenko, commander of the 429th Achilles Brigade.

“This will be the Kremlin’s sixteenth deadline”: What does Ukrainian brigade that hit 57,000 Russian targets think of fresh peace talks?

Ukraine's top drone unit, the 429th "Achilles" Unmanned Systems Brigade, believes that the war against Russia is being won on the battlefield, not in peace talks, according to Yurii Fedorenko, the commander of the brigade. Ukraine's unmanned systems have hit a staggering 57,000 targets, and Fedorenko argues that Russia has failed every deadline to seize Donbas, despite taking record losses.

Fedorenko echoes former Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who suggested that negotiations with Russia have become a battlefield matter. He points out that Russia's plans have been exposed, with the Kremlin announcing the capture of the same towns weeks apart to mask its failures. Russia has set 16 deadlines to take Donbas, and Fedorenko predicts that there may be more to come.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces' operations, such as "Vivaldi" and "Veles," have slowed down Russia's advance, and the cost of the war for the Kremlin continues to rise daily.
