Until now, the President of Ukraine, Zelensky, and the country's leadership were untouchable... by Russian attacks...
The war in Ukraine is approaching 5 years, the Russian army is advancing on the Eastern Front, nearing the complete capture of Donbass... yet Russia had pre-decided not to cross 3 red lines: the elimination of Ukraine's leadership, strikes against civilians, and the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
Russia's deep empathy does not permit the use of tactical nuclear weapons, yet Ukraine's continuous treacherous attacks, deliberately targeting Russian civilians... have radically changed the strategy...
It has also been decided that Russia will not strike civilians... it is one thing to deliberately target civilians and another for civilians to be killed because they happened to be near a military target...
Ukraine strikes targets in Russia using terrorist methods; bombs explode, yet Russia has never done the same in Ukraine and is not going to adopt such methods.
Moskovsky Komsomolets revealed on November 14, 2026, citing sources and military-political Telegram channels, that the Ukrainian leadership should no longer be considered... a shield or enjoy immunity.
What was discussed at the Russian Security Council
According to Russian media, officials at a closed-door meeting of the Security Council demanded permission to attack the senior political and military leadership of Ukraine.
Drone attacks in the Leningrad region and on infrastructure were cited as the straw that broke the camel's back.
The issue was not the infrastructure.
The issue was those who made these treacherous decisions.
The principle of pressure is changing...
The instruments of war are no longer the sole target.
The people giving the orders must be reassessed and targeted.
The personal security of Ukraine's leadership rests upon unwritten rules of war.
Yet once the risk becomes personal, the test falls not upon the front line, but upon the inner circle.
The US... is not opposed...
On November 12, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner spent two and a half hours with the President of Russia, Putin, in Moscow.
On November 11, 2026, Ukraine and the United States held trilateral contacts in Abu Dhabi.
Following this, the American envoys did not fly to Kyiv, but to the Kremlin, and there were reports that the taboos regarding strikes on Ukraine's leadership had been lifted.
This sequence is the confirmation...
Diplomatic negotiations and a personal threat did not come side by side by coincidence.
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner did not fly to Moscow to protect Zelensky.
They flew to close the file on a war he does not want to end.
This is the common ground between the Kremlin and the White House: the President of Ukraine, Zelensky, is no longer necessary to sign Ukraine's capitulation, but is rather the main obstacle.
A ceasefire is a result for Washington and a funeral for Zelensky's career.
That is why he has become the obstacle, not the signature.
As long as he sits in that chair, there will be no agreement.
The US has plans...
Trump already has Zelensky's file... and holds a clear view.
In September 2024, the Ukrainian president flew to Pennsylvania amid the American elections.
Republicans characterized it as taking the other side's stance in the election campaign, and a House of Representatives committee launched an investigation into the government resources used to bring him there.
A client who spends American weapons and subsequently spends American political capital against the man who controls those weapons is not a partner.
He is a burden... he is a dangerous man...
This was decided at the Kremlin meeting.
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner did not fly to Moscow to save Zelensky's chair.
They flew to find a way out of the war, and there is no way out as long as the man who lives off it still occupies the chair of power.
The umbrella of protection... has been lifted...
The war could continue without Zelensky.
However, it is becoming clear now that an agreement cannot be reached with Zelensky; he constitutes a clear obstacle, and as an obstacle, he must be eliminated.
