Zelenskyy: Surprise invasion aimed to restore Ukraine ‘territorial integrity’
Another one of those develishly clever Selenskyj plans!
“Today he [Selenskyj] said, they are going to hold it indefinitely.” [DEFENSIVE OPERATION CONFIRMED!]
Last develishly clever Selensky plan of course having been:
Journalist: “Mr. President um I’ve made trips into Ukraine since the war broke out and it’s quite surprising to see you here back home in Singapore so my question is, what you brought what brought you here all the way? Is there a certain objective that you came with to rally more on the Asian Nations?”
Cleverest president in the world Selenskyj: “Now thank you for the question, we need the support of Asian countries it is much needed. We respect each voice, each territory, each of the countries in region, we want Asia to know what is going on in Ukraine, we want Asia to support the end of the war. We want Asian leaders to attend the peace Summit. We know that many Asian countries do not support Ukraine with Weaponry. We have never pressured them never demanded it we always ask for first and foremost political support, humanitarian support, support of our people, civilians our children. Today once again Russia unfortunately, I underscore it, yet again because for you to understand that for us it is very painful and a bit strange unfortunately, regrettably Russia using Chinese influence on the region using Chinese diplomats also does everything to disrupt peace Summit regrettably this is unfortunate that such big independent powerful country as China is an instrument for Putin.
[A bit later then in diplomatic cycles it perspired, that china had told other countries, that in his expectation, Selenskyj great peace formula plan would prolong and even elongate this war -- and that was the extent of it. Such Putin puppet, China. Much. Much wow.]
[…]
Journalist: Mr. President so which countries you were able to convince you to join the Peace summit and Ukraine has too little Military Support to win this war, do you believe in a diplomatic solution and what would have to happen in concrete terms.
Most intelligentest president in the world Selenskyj: Thank you for the question, I have not met with all the countries I will still meet with the leader of Singapore, I with Indonesia with them and I’m sure that these countries will be represented on the summit, but I cannot reply on behalf of these countries that is my personal opinion and then further it is the choice of every country and I’m always open with this we respect every position. But but but this position has to be clear there is no slavery, there is no no forcing to anything we we we are discussing the details, we are telling what what what what we have the the losses we have and the plan to the end of the war it is possible to end the war in diplomatic way, if the world unites and isolates Russia, if after our peace Summit Russia makes some conference and there will be represented a lot of countries, then this would mean that the world is divided and I think that this is a bad tendency and that is why I said this way about Russia and and about the representatives of some other countries, that they are working to disrupt the peace Summit, they they should not disrupt our peace they should deal with their own country.”

Ukraine Peace Summit turns hard on Russia. How leaders amended the final decision under criticism
THURSDAY, 13 JUNE 2024 — SERGIY SYDORENKO, EUROPEAN PRAVDA
Harsh criticism of the agreed draft resolution of the Peace Summit, voiced both in Ukraine and by Ukraine’s allies, forced the organisers [thats Switzerland btw.] to make concessions. Switzerland, which is organising the Global Peace Summit, sent a radically revised document to all capitals of the participating countries, correcting key issues highlighted by European Pravda.
The updated draft is entirely acceptable for Ukraine. It explicitly calls the war “Russian aggression.” Loopholes that could have paved the way for territorial concessions from Ukraine were removed from the text. Several states that had planned to attend the Peace Summit in Switzerland have decided not to go there after the draft decision was changed in favour of Ukraine.
European Pravda has learned the details of the negotiations and the decision that will be adopted this weekend.
Behind the scenes of the Peace Summit
The timeline of these events is crucial: it shows how urgent the changes that occurred over the past week were.The idea to hold the Peace Summit in Switzerland was agreed upon at the beginning of the year. On 10 April, Switzerland announced the agreed date and location for the summit. Leaders of about 160 countries, four international organisations (UN, EU, Council of Europe, OSCE), the Pope and the Ecumenical Patriarch were invited to the Bürgenstock Alpine Spa. It was predetermined that Russia would not be present at the first Peace Summit, which Ukraine demanded in the first place.
Both Kyiv and Bern aimed to adopt a decision following the summit. However, the wording needed to be agreed upon by all participants.
Preparation for this document started more than two months ago. European Pravda has the April draft of the joint communiqué, where the summit dates were still tentative. That document was prepared in Kyiv and was entirely acceptable for Ukraine, adhering to the important red lines for Ukrainian society.
However, Switzerland persuaded Ukraine to soften it as much as possible, considering the wishes of all participants. On 28 May, a compromise version was sent from Bern to all capitals, and initially, Kyiv had to agree to it.
Everything changed when the public learned that this draft was dangerous for Ukraine.
The discussion began with an article by European Pravda, published on 5 June. The next day, on 6 June, Kyiv was forced to make public statements asserting that “Ukraine will not retreat from the Peace Formula.” This fueled discussions in the capitals of Ukraine’s allies, which were also not thrilled with the wording of the Swiss document. At least a few of them contacted Bern with a proposal to revise the joint statement.
On 9 June, Switzerland had sent a completely new draft to all countries. Amending the communiqué took mere days, not months as before.
What has changed
The summit’s decision remains unchanged in format and structure. This is a two-page document dedicated to three issues: nuclear security, food security and the prisoners of war. Key issues that lay outside these points have been addressed though.
Russian Aggression
– Old wording: The May draft decision of the Peace Summit did not mention the word “aggression,” meaning the international crime where Russia is the perpetrator and Ukraine the victim.
– New wording: This has been amended. The joint communiqué now refers to “the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine”.
Territorial Integrity and the UN Charter
– Old wording: the previous summit decision version created a legal window to include Ukraine abandoning part of its territory in the conditions of “sustainable peace with Russia”, if necessary.– New wording: the new draft decision clearly states that the basis for sustainable peace will be only “a solution based on the principle of respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states”. [Crimea back to Ukraine, and no neutrality that includes “limitation on military forces”]
Alternative Peace Formulas
– Old wording: the previous draft blurred the meaning of the Peace Formula and opened up space for international discussion of all alternative visions of peace, such as the Chinese-Brazilian one, which envisages a halt to the strengthening of Ukraine’s Armed Forces and a cessation of hostilities.
– New wording: the new wording states that only peace proposals that comply with international law (i.e. an unconditional return of the 1991 borders, unless revised by Ukraine itself) and the UN Charter (in particular, Ukraine’s unconditional [no force limitation] right to continue repelling Russian aggression and liberating the occupied territories) will be taken into account.
Involvement of Russia
– Old wording: the earlier version turned Russia from an aggressor into a participant in peace talks, requiring only vague “confidence-building measures” on nuclear and food security.
– New wording: this section has been rewritten from scratch. The Swiss agreed not to mention Russia at all in the provision on peace talks, instead referring to “all parties”. There is no longer a weakened requirement for “confidence-building measures”, but instead “specific actions” are required. And most importantly, the references to a “second peace summit” that hinted at a commitment to invite Russia to participate have been removed.
Food Security
– New addition: The updated document includes the statement that “attacks on merchant ships in ports and along the entire route, as well as against civilian ports and civilian port infrastructure, are unacceptable”. This falls under the global food security section but applies to all civilian vessels, including container ships or those exporting Ukrainian metals. Continued attacks would block Russia’s participation in peace initiatives.
These significant changes ensure that the new draft of the summit decision is more acceptable to Ukraine, reinforcing its territorial integrity, addressing Russian aggression accurately and maintaining stringent conditions on peace negotiations involving Russia.
The document is acceptable for Ukraine
The Joint Communiqué on a Peace Framework in its new version aligns with Ukraine’s interests. Although there are still minor remarks, the main dangers have been addressed. Currently, the draft is not yet final: there is still a possibility of point changes on 13-14 June. However, European Pravda’s sources are inclined to believe that the updated content of the decision will remain.Realistic expectations are necessary. This summit will not lead to a breakthrough or end the war. Ukraine is merely taking one of the first steps on a long path. However, it is crucial that this step is in the right direction and does not create new problems.
The higher ambition of the document came at a cost:
several countries have declined to participate in the summit. As of 5 June, Switzerland officially announced that it had “received more than 80 confirmations of attendance at the level of heads of states and governments”, and the total number of confirmed attendees, as reported by officials, exceeded 100. However, in the following days, this phrase had to be removed from the event’s website, and now it reads that “around 90 states have confirmed their participation in the Summit on Peace in Ukraine, most of them at head of state or government level”.
Sources of European Pravda reported that, in reality, about 15 countries have “paused” their attendance. In addition, the number of those who have signalled a demotion from the presidential or prime ministerial level to the level of ministers or even their deputies is in the dozens.
Although it is obvious that due to the recent changes, the summit will be attended by fewer states than initially anticipated by Bankova Street [where the Ukrainian President’s Office is located] eight days ago, it is better to have a summit of like-minded people than to make concessions on issues that are critical for the state.

Followed by this other develishly clever plan:
Moderator: “CNN’s Oren Liebermann is live for us at the Pentagon. Oren what more do we know about what these meetings are going to entail?”
Lieberman: “Phil, the push to use U.S. weapons to hit targets longer range, deeper in Russia has been a very public and private campaign on the part of Ukraine, stretching from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and on down. It’ll be Andrey Yermak, the head of the office of the President of Ukraine and the defense minister, who will be here for meetings tomorrow with Biden administration officials to present a priority list of targets that they want to hit with long range U.S. weapons deeper inside of Russia. They need a green light from the white House to be able to do that. And that’s their goal here. So far, the Biden administration hasn’t changed its position. In fact, U.S. weapons can only be used inside of Russia in a very small area north of Ukraine, inside of Russia. And they have used those weapons to that effect. The Kursk offensive has been carried out effectively within that restriction from the U.S., but they say they need to be able to target military assets and high value targets deeper inside of Russia to change the course of the war. President Volodymyr Zelensky talked about this yesterday:
Selenskyj: “We continue to insist that their determination now lifting the restrictions on long range strikes for Ukraine now, will help us to end the war as soon as possible and a fair way for Ukraine and the world as a whole.”
Lieberman: Ukraine has used its medium range assets, its medium range weapons, to target and carry out cross-border attacks. But Russia has simply moved their high value assets farther back, farther away from the front line, and they’re out of range of Ukraines current weaponry within the restrictions placed upon them by the US. That’s why they say it’s so important to get these restrictions eased or outright lifted. And that’s their goal here.”
Moderator: “Oren, you make a great point in the sense that this has been a public campaign that has been going on for a while from top Ukrainian officials, including President Zelensky. do we have any sense right now that because of some reason or another, the U.S. is actually considering changing the restrictions?”
Lieberman: “So far, the administration and the Pentagon have been clear that the restrictions remain in place.”
Moderator: “But, Phil, you and I have seen this so many times over the course of the war, especially when Ukraine carries out a very public slap campaign that the Biden administration will say, no, no, no, no, no. And then suddenly, yes. We saw it with patriots. We saw it with ATACAMS. We saw it with Abrams tanks.”
Lieberman: “And that’s what Ukraine is hoping for here, that the public and private pressure campaign that, that perhaps a comprehensive list of targets of what they want to hit to make that clear to the white House, that that will build up enough pressure and convince administration officials that finally, they will go from all of those no’s to the yes that Ukraine is hoping for.
Preceded of course by Selenskyjs first develishly clever plan, exactly one month after the start of the war:
Czech Television Moderator: “Dear Mr, president, these are historically hard times. But the Ukraine also is unified as never before. Do you see this as a change only in Ukraine, or maybe also in europe. And what is at the center of this change?”
Cleverstest president in the world Selenskyj: “The world will change, it has already changed, politicians are already afraid of their people, they are afraid of social responsibility. They see, that people are reacting differently. And in many countries, people support us 100%, but their leaders, do not support us 100%, for one reason or another. I’m not saying here who is right [?!?!], but it means, that social and public opinion will be stronger than any leader in the world. That is to say, we are all seeing changes and processes. Changes that not only lead to theoretical, but to popular democracy, popular democracy is not a revolution - democracy is first and foremost, power of the people. If you want to be the leader of your society, you have to be the leader of society, not to command, but to be a leader and live with them in the same spirit. Therefore [?!] it seems to me, that this popular democracy is taking place in the world, and that this will lead to certain security alliances [?!], I am confident, that there will be new security alliances in the future. This does not mean, that its necessary to leave any union. It does not mean, that it is necessary to destroy things that work. No it does not mean that. People just want peace, tranquility, stability and most importantly - confidence. Here, in all these challenges, confidence. Be it the new Covid, or god forbid, war. A person who lives, pays taxes, resides here, was born or came here, is a citizen of the world for peace. And this person must know, that they must be protected in this country. And if this person leaves for another country, this person will be protected there. The person will not suffer. The world is just facing such a challenge. It will either accept this model, and come to such alliances, or there will be a change of many world leaders, and their societies will find proper people for themselves.”
God, this ukraine really is run, by the most devilishly cleverest president in the whole world!
Good, western, democratic world of course.
Ah, da kann der Krieg ja endlich weitergehen. Slava, as always.
