Zelensky claims that Russia has started WW3!
I guess we will all be dead in a few weeks. For Zelensky, ending life on earth through a nuclear conflict is worth it if it will save Ukraine.
The poor man does not realize Ukraine will also be destroyed in the process. Why is this idiot still in power? His term ended in May 2024.

'Will we lose? Of course not', Zelensky vows as he says Putin has already started WWIII​

Good chance for Germany to use their technology and go all in and get away from from the US and Trump As The EU needs to get away from threats from the US to buy only their weapons.

Ah, there is a good chance the EU will not last for another year.

The European Union is not actively dissolving, but it faces severe structural, economic, and security pressures in 2026 that fuel speculation about its long-term viability. While major member states remain committed, internal divisions, economic stagnation compared to the US/China, and the ongoing war in Ukraine are creating a 'polite' decline.

Ukraine's Sting Op Exposed US Intel Leaks To Russia

By
James Marinero

In mid-January 2026, a revelation from a former French intelligence operative sent shockwaves through the geopolitical community. Speaking on LCI television, Vincent Crouzet, a retired DGSE agent, claimed that Ukraine had conducted a deliberate sting operation on U.S. intelligence channels.

The goal? To test whether sensitive information shared with Washington would mysteriously end up in Moscow's hands. According to Crouzet, the Ukrainians fed false data into the system — and watched as it surfaced in Russian possession almost immediately. This explosive allegation, first analysed in depth by James Marinero on Medium, has reignited fierce debate over the integrity of Western intelligence-sharing during the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

The sting operation, if true, exposes a critical vulnerability in the NATO alliance's information ecosystem. Crouzet's account draws from his own experiences in counter-espionage and his book "The Secret Agent" (published in French as "Un Agent Secret"), where he details similar tactics used in past operations. He asserts that the Ukrainians, frustrated by repeated leaks that compromised their battlefield strategies, decided to verify the source.

By planting disinformation about military plans or troop movements, Kyiv could track its path back to Russian forces or state media. The rapid appearance of the fake intel in Moscow's sphere confirmed their suspicions: somewhere in the U.S. pipeline, information was being funnelled eastward.This incident comes at a particularly tense moment in US-Ukraine relations.

Under the Trump administration, aid to Kyiv has faced renewed scrutiny, with delays in weapon deliveries and questions over long-term commitment. The sting raises uncomfortable questions about whether U.S. agencies — possibly the CIA or NSA — have been infiltrated, or if there's a deeper issue with protocol breaches or insider betrayal. While neither Washington nor Kyiv has officially confirmed or denied the operation, anonymous sources in European intelligence circles have corroborated Crouzet's claims, suggesting it occurred sometime in late 2025.

The lack of rebuttal from either side only fuels speculation, with some analysts pointing to historical precedents like the Cold War's "Farewell Dossier," where disinformation was used to expose moles.

Beyond the immediate embarrassment for U.S. intelligence, the broader implications are profound. If Ukraine felt compelled to test its closest ally, it signals a erosion of trust that could hamper coordinated efforts against Russia. NATO's intelligence-sharing mechanisms, designed to pool resources and enhance collective security, rely on absolute confidence between members.

A confirmed leak to Moscow would not only validate Ukraine's paranoia but also raise alarms about Russian penetration of Western systems — potentially through cyber means, human assets, or even unwitting policy channels.Marinero’s original piece argued that the sting was less about outright distrust of Washington and more about Ukraine safeguarding its own operational security in a high-stakes war.

After all, Kyiv has been on the receiving end of devastating leaks before, including details of counteroffensives that appeared in Russian media.

With no official investigation announced as of late January 2026, the story continues to simmer, prompting calls for transparency from European allies and U.S. congressional oversight committees.In an era of hybrid warfare, where information is as lethal as missiles, this episode underscores the fragility of alliances. As Crouzet himself noted, "The secret world is built on trust — but verify." Whether this sting leads to reforms or further fractures remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the shadows of espionage are lengthening.

Ukraine has denied that the sting took place and the US has not commented.

Crouzet himself later clarified he spoke of suspicions/risks of leaks, not a confirmed sting operation. Ukraine's GUR denied the more sensational versions as disinformation.

This all comes on top of the Guardian story about a Witkoff cellphone conversation with a Putin advisor that was leaked by a European government agency? The world of espionage is a dirty place.

Truth is the first casualty of war."

Not much in the way to corroborate this story but given the circus that is the current administration it is within the realm of possibility.

Zelensky again reiterates that WWIII is ongoing on BBC.
A World War will save Ukraine and destroy the evil Russians.
I have not seen much activity between the US, Russia, China, and Europe. Nothing nuclear yet. Again, I don't know what the man is talking about.
This idiot has maintained Ukraine on a war path for 4 years and will take the whole world down with him.
There are also rumors from inside the Zelensky circle that the man likes to snort cocaine.

Zelensky tells BBC Putin has started WW3 and must be stopped​

When I looked into this it was mostly false. It sounded like it stems from a poor translation of a TV appearance since nothing has been corroborated. But sadly, it's exactly what you would expect from the trump regime.

Most likely candidate to take Zelensky's position in Ukraine:

Valerii Zaluzhnyi
The former Commander-in-Chief and current Ambassador to the UK is widely considered Zelenskyy's most formidable rival. Recent polls show him leading in hypothetical matchups, with one February 2026 Ipsos poll placing him at 23% support compared to Zelenskyy's 20%. He has recently spoken publicly about a "deep rift" with Zelenskyy regarding military strategy.
