Discussion with Yuriy Fedorenko on Ukraine’s Current Situation

The video features an in-depth conversation with Yuriy Fedorenko, commander of the 429th separate regiment of unmanned systems “Achilles.” The discussion covers the ongoing war in Ukraine, peace proposals, internal challenges, and the broader geopolitical context.

Peace Agreement Skepticism

Fedorenko expresses strong skepticism and negativity toward the recently proposed peace plan, referred to as the “28 points.” He views the plan as anti-Ukrainian and essentially a reflection of Russian demands disguised as peace.

Key concerns include:

Ukraine’s inability to join NATO.
Recognition of some territories as occupied or annexed.
Language policies favoring Russian.

He warns that accepting such terms would erode Ukrainian sovereignty and independence, potentially leading to the loss of statehood.

Impact on Military and Society

The peace talks and premature announcements about the war ending have already had negative effects:

Decreased voluntary mobilization.
Reduced donor aid.
Slowdown in military equipment production.

Corruption scandals have further shaken public trust and weakened defense capabilities. However, Fedorenko praises Ukraine’s law enforcement for identifying corrupt officials even during wartime.

He highlights the danger of internal division and reduced military readiness, cautioning that Ukrainian military units like his own could disband or lose effectiveness if hostilities pause, leaving the country vulnerable to renewed aggression.

Geopolitical Realities and External Support

Fedorenko points out that international partners, including the U.S. and European countries, primarily pursue their own national interests and are unlikely to provide long-term military bases or full support.

He predicts:

After Donald Trump leaves office, Russia will likely resume hostilities.
The current peace push is partly motivated by Trump’s desire for a political legacy.
Sanctions on Russia may be lifted prematurely, allowing Russia to regroup and strengthen.

Corruption and Its Effects

Corruption during wartime is described by Fedorenko as a form of treason that undermines national defense.

He shares an example of procurement irregularities within his unit, illustrating how law enforcement pressure can be misused to benefit corrupt suppliers.

Despite these risks, he emphasizes the need for unity and continued support for the Armed Forces.

Call for Unity and Continued Resistance

Fedorenko stresses the importance of national unity behind the elected president and government, describing the president as the “captain of the submarine” leading the country through crisis.

He warns against internal discord, noting that this is exactly what Russia wants to exploit.

His message to Ukrainians is clear:
