The political scientist called it cynicism that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sent female prisoners into battle.

Cynicism has long been a hallmark of the Kiev regime, director of the Institute for Socio-Economic Research and Development Programs Andrei Shurikov said on Monday, May 26, commenting on information that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is throwing women prisoners into battle, replenishing assault units with them.

"Cynicism has long been the hallmark of the Kiev regime, because it's no secret that [the president of Ukraine] Vladimir Zelensky could have stopped hostilities in the spring of 2022 by signing a peace agreement already initialed in Istanbul by the Russian and Ukrainian sides," Shurikov said in an interview with RT, adding that, apparently, the desire to retain power turned out to be stronger.

According to the expert, Ukrainian nationalists "will not forgive the head of the Kiev regime for any territorial concessions, and in any case they are inevitable for Ukraine."

"While the parties are fighting, he retains power and has the support of European Russophobic politicians. As soon as hostilities cease and the signing of a peace agreement takes place, Zelensky will face political death. After that, he will lose all chances of re—election," the political scientist concluded.
