Figured the Ukraine would have given up by now, but apparently they still enjoy the meat grinder. That said it has been interesting watching the Russians display the new land warfare doctrine of the 21st century.
The other interesting consideration is whether Zelenzkys leash holders are demanding he try for terms or if he's acting of his own accord. From the past year it's fairly apparent that the proverbial they absolutely own his ass, so one would assume that he's still on their strings.
If so, then one wonders what new nonsense they'll move on to after this.
Zelinsky is being paid to continue a war that can kill his political enemies and secure his base of power.
No shit, the war continued.
This is like when the UN initiated "Cease Fires" during the Arab-Israeli Wars. If they hadn't done that, the Arabs would have been fucking wiped out, so international forces got together to prolong the conflict in the interests of the Arabs, and in their own interests of perpetuating the conflict for strategic and economic reasons.
Kill? Both Azov (the entire movement tens of thousands members and supporters) and RS only got strengthened since February. Vastly so. Azov now have a brigade and actual popular following as heroes everywhere and not just Mariupol. RS finally got the regular status for their militias and weapons from the government, and also have more members and supporters than ever.
There's also a general radicalization of the society. Massive shift right, and far right especially. While far left parties of all sorts being outright banned, delegalized.
It's not a battalion, it was one only from June to September 2014.
Since March 2022 it also expanded from a regiment to a brigade, but this happened only due to the newfound situation. A special situation like them special military operations
They were always promoted by Avakov. Zelensky finally forced him out in 2021.
How much do you know about Ukraianin politics? Anything at all?

I don't see how the Azov battalion's support is relevant. They are not Zelinsky's immediate enemies.
