Reuters: Kremlin says Zelenskiy's 'no Minsk 3' comment confirms Kyiv's unwillingness to negotiate
LONDON (Reuters) - Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Volodymyr Zelenskiy's statement that there will be no "Minsk 3" deal to end the fighting in Ukraine confirms that Kyiv is not interested in holding peace talks with Moscow, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
Speaking via video link to the G20 summit in Bali, the Ukrainian president on Tuesday ruled out a third "Minsk agreement", a reference to two failed ceasefire deals between Kyiv and Moscow over the status of the eastern Donbas region.

Update #1: Kiev’s terms for talks ‘unrealistic’ – Moscow (RT)
Update #2: Lavrov emphasizes Ukraine refusing to negotiate, not Russia (TASS)
WNU Editor: The Ukraine government wants all the territory under Russian control to be completely returned, and with US backing they feel confident that they will achieve it. The Russian government is saying no, and are confident that their forces will succeed in not only holding onto the current territories, but to also be able to seize the rest of Donbas by next year.
Bottom line.
There see no common ground for any talks to start right now.

Concur. no deal. more blood
Dmitry Pesky might acquaint himself with the situation on the ground before pipsqueaking.
Looks like Russia will try to defend Kalanchak and Chaplynka very hard. Skavdon'sk might be denfend hard for no other reason than to anchor the left flank.
Zaliznyi Port may be defended or defended just enough to deny a very small port and for early warning purposes or as a trap.
The Russian artillery plan seems very weak or tepid. Of they lose the artillery duels all that is left are massed tanks (Can Russia do that with existing stocks?), human wave attacks and may be standoff air attacks.
If the Russian push fails, the Ukrainian one will succeed and the Russian will suffer progressive, catastrophic failure. The American may want to double staff their silos when Putin craps his pants.
If Kalanchak and Chaplynka fall, Crimea and Melitipol will too. In the case of Melitipol the Russian will insist and assist the Ukrainians. What can you say. It is the heritage bequeathed to Mother Russia by the Mongols. When Russians engage in introspection, they only regard it from one angle.
I cannot believe how far the Russians have retreated. Trap? Can mobiks lay a trap? They are people, so they are smart. But do they believe? I think not. Their officers are track stars faster than Usain Bolt.
Doesn't really matter when you live out in the boonies and two waring factions decide your farm is key terrain. Those are the people that need our prayers.
