Moscow Has a BIG Problem—Zelenskyy's
Thank You for Standing With Ukraine

Marco Rubio says Russia's war against Ukraine is "about Donbas." Then why are Kyiv's vital bridges and energy infrastructure being attacked? Rubio's October 22 interview with India Today raises a much bigger question: Does Washington fundamentally misunderstand what Vladimir Putin wants? The reported ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv's Southern Bridge and CHP-5 power plant expose just how dangerous it can be to reduce Russia's invasion to a territorial dispute over one region.
Meanwhile, Putin meets with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian as Russia and Iran reaffirm their partnership. Finland's President Alexander Stubb and Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre reach out to Putin about negotiations, only for the Kremlin to repeat its demands. Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov dismisses Volodymyr Zelenskyy's legitimacy and insists he should come to Moscow for direct talks. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov goes further, warning that the war could escalate while attacking Europe's involvement in diplomacy.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski delivers perhaps the most important warning of all: American negotiators are making a serious mistake by treating this war as merely a dispute over territory. His argument is that Russia needs Ukraine to regain its status as a global power. I examine Sikorski's warning, Rubio's exact words, developments around Oleshky in Kherson, and Kyiv's plans for emergency crossings over the Dnipro River. Putin's objectives, Ukraine's sovereignty, and the consequences of getting this negotiation wrong are far bigger than 11% of Donetsk Oblast.
