Russia Planning to Declare Victory in War Against Ukraine: Report
Russia is reportedly preparing to announce a “victory” in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine on February 24, 2025, marking the third anniversary of its full-scale invasion of Kyiv. According to Ukrainian military intelligence, the Kremlin plans to portray the announcement as a triumph over both Ukraine and NATO.
Russia Preparing to Declare “Victory” in Ukraine War on February 24, 2025
The Kremlin is set to declare an alleged “victory” in the war against Ukraine on the significant date of February 24, 2025. This marks three years since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Intelligence reports suggest that Russia will not only claim victory over Ukraine but will also frame the announcement as a win over NATO. Moscow has long referred to the conflict as a war against the alliance, and this declaration will likely reinforce that narrative.
Russia to Frame Victory as Over Ukraine and NATO
The upcoming declaration of victory is part of Russia’s effort to reshape the narrative of the war. According to reports, the Kremlin intends to emphasize that its “victory” is not only over Ukraine but also over NATO, a sentiment echoed in Russia’s propaganda. This framing aims to bolster the legitimacy of Russia’s actions and to position the war as a larger struggle against the West.
Rising Tensions: Zelenskyy and Trump Discussing Ukraine Conflict
This development comes amid rising diplomatic tensions and high-level discussions between the United States and Russia, focusing on potential resolutions to the ongoing Ukraine conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump has been increasingly critical of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In recent remarks, Trump called Zelenskyy a “dictator” and warned that the Ukrainian leader must act quickly to negotiate an end to the war or risk losing his nation.
Trump Calls Zelenskyy a “Dictator” and Pushes for Peace Talks
Trump’s criticism of Zelenskyy follows the Ukrainian president’s earlier accusations that Trump was influenced by Russian “disinformation.” Trump has been advocating for a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, while blaming Zelenskyy for allowing the war to escalate. The back-and-forth between the two leaders is heightening tensions and raising concerns over the future of the conflict.
Concerns Grow Over U.S. Re-engagement with Russia
The escalating tensions between Trump and Zelenskyy are also raising concerns across Europe. European capitals are closely monitoring the situation, particularly as Trump continues to push for renewed talks with Russia. This could signal a shift in U.S. foreign policy, potentially re-engaging with Russia in a manner that could affect the ongoing war and the future of Ukraine’s sovereignty.
