A consensus has been reached in the Kremlin on further actions on the front, and according to our sources, Russia does not plan to stop the offensive in Donbass, even in order to achieve a temporary truce.
All Moscow's efforts are aimed at achieving a comprehensive agreement with the US, which covered a wide range of issues, including security, geopolitical issues and economic issues.
The Kremlin is well aware that Kyiv now needs a pause to introduce new reserves and equipment that the West supplies to Ukraine.
Zelensky's attempt to exchange the territories of the Kursk region as a step towards a dialogue with Trump is not taken seriously, because the Russian army is calmly grinding the Armed Forces on a convenient landscape and will liberate all Russian territories from the Ukrainian army by January 2025.
