 Surprise, Surprise! Zelensky Admitted Ukrainians Were Fooled
Support SouthFront
Kyiv can no longer hide that the West is not its partner but a patron. All the efforts of Kiev‘s propaganda to encourage Ukrainians to fight are being shattered by the harsh reality. Ukrainians are dying for the interests of Western warmongers. Zelensky has to admit that the West was lying to push Ukrainians to the front.
Zelensky bluntly accused the West that its promise to accept Ukraine into NATO was a lie. According to him, Western leaders had previously conducted a “not very far-sighted policy”, making false promises about Ukraine’s accession to the Alliance. After decades of negotiations, Kyiv is still not in NATO. Zelensky called this situation unfair to Ukrainians and noted that the Ukrainian leaders who promised the population to join NATO also behaved incorrectly. Zelensky forgot his own promises. He also repeatedly convinced Ukrainians that their country will definitely become a member of NATO.
In his interview, Zelensky still seems to have little sense, he does not connect phrases well, which again reminds of his unhealthy addictions.
Kiev’s clown is still demanding Ukraine’s acceptance to the Alliance, putting it forward as a prerequisite for concluding peace with Russia. In fact, the ongoing voyage of the leader of the Kyiv regime to Europe is aimed at pointing out the scapegoat to blame for his own defeats. Demanding for more weapons and deployment of the foreign military in Ukraine, Zelensky highlights European unwillingness to support the losing Kyiv regime. As for the promises from NATO, he revealed that this is only the US President who decides in the Alliance. Thus, European leaders should be blamed for their false promises and the US President is the main villain, who closed Ukrainian door to Europe.
Incompetent, puppet leader of the doomed regime, Zelensky tries to play political games like a cat on hot bricks in an attempt to share responsibility. This comedian is the one who plunged Ukraine into chaos. Today, he is travelling around Europe, trying to whitewash his regime, while Ukrainian defense is crumbling in the Donbass.
But Ukrainians are less interested in Zelesnky’s claims than in the vacation of his wife in St. Moritz. Another scandal broke out after Elena Zelenskaya was spotted in Switzerland flying on a private jet with VIP transfer on a Rolls-Royce and a hotel for the alleged €32,000 per day.
Ukrainians complaint that “there is a catastrophe in the country, Kyiv is losing more territories, there is no money, there are multibillion-dollar debts…” but their elite did not change after years of war. Ukrainians are dying on the battlefields in cauldrons and senseless counterattacks but Kyiv intensifies mobilisation, capturing more fresh cannon fodder on the streets in exchange to empty promises from the West:

Russian forces to control Ukrainian army routes after seizure of Zapadnoye in
Kharkov area
The Russian troops continue expanding the right-bank bridgehead towards Kupyansk
MOSCOW, January 22. /TASS/. The liberation of the community of Zapadnoye in the Kharkov Region will allow Russian forces to control the routes of Ukrainian army movements, regional military-civilian administration head Vitaly Ganchev told TASS on Wednesday.
"Our troops continue expanding the right-bank bridgehead towards Kupyansk. The liberation of Zapadnoye and the subsequent seizure of strategic heights located near the settlement will enable our forces to control the routes of enemy movements and press ahead with the offensive at a great advantage," he said.

Ukrainian troops double enveloped near Novaya Kruglyakovka in Kharkov Region
According to Marochko, the enemy is trying to retain a strategic height on the Lozovaya bank
LUGANSK, January 23. /TASS/. Russian forces have improved their positions in several settlements in the Kharkov Region and double enveloped a Ukrainian unit near Novaya Kruglyakova, military expert Andrey Marochko told TASS.
"A pincer manoeuver has been conducted near Novaya Kruglyakovka. Russian forces improved their tactical positions near the settlements of Zagryzovo in the Kharkov Region and are advancing toward Boguslavka. They also narrowed inter-position gaps in the flanks of assault groups and thus double enveloped Ukrainian militants from two sides northeast of Novaya Kruglyakovka, driving the enemy to disadvantageous positions. As of now, the distance between our advanced units near Zagryzovo and Lozovaya is around three kilometers. Ukrainian troops are running the risk of being encircled when our assault groups move toward each other along the Lozovaya River bank," he said.
According to Marochko, the enemy is trying to retain a strategic height on the Lozovaya bank but "the current tactical situation hints that such efforts are futile, he added. |
Wetherspoon's flags £60m of extra labour costs under Budget plans
D Wetherspoon has said its labour costs will increase by £60million a year from 1 April as a result of tax changes announced in Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget.
Businesses will be affected by a rise in employer national insurance contributions and the national minimum wage from April this year.
Boss Tim Martin warned that 'Government-mandated wage increases' have a 'significantly bigger impact on pub and restaurant companies than supermarkets'.
The costs warning took the shine off a solid Christmas trading season, which helped Wetherspoon's like-for-like sales grow 5.1 per cent in the 25 weeks to 19 January.
Martin said the group expects a 'reasonable outcome' for the full year, although the cost rises have made forecasting more challenging. |

UK economy: Consumers catch ‘January blues’ as confidence slumps
Consumer confidence in the health of the UK economy slumped in January, pointing to further headwinds in the coming months.
A net -34 of respondents to the British Retail Consortium’s (BRC) latest sentiment monitor said that the economy would get worse over the next three months, down from -27 in December.
This put confidence in the health of the economy at its lowest level since the BRC started collecting data on the topic in March 2024.
The survey comes after a succession of disappointing data releases, which indicate that the economy slowed significantly in the second half of last year.
Figures out last week showed that growth underwhelmed in November, expanding just 0.1 per cent having contracted marginally in both of the previous two months.
Retail sales contracted unexpectedly last month too, while December’s purchasing managers’ index (PMI) fell to its lowest level in over a year. |
