OVD-Info said in a statement Friday that “for 305 out of 365 days of the war, security forces detained people for their anti-war position in various cities of Russia and the annexed Crimea.”

As of mid-December, the group had counted 378 people facing criminal prosecution for their antiwar positions in 69 Russian regions and the Crimean Peninsula that Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014. The group also counted more than 5,500 administrative cases on the charge of discrediting the Russian army.

But some observers warned that Ukraine and its allies need to tread carefully, saying that rejection of what China sees as its peace overture could move Beijing closer toward providing arms to Russia instead.

 

Volodymyr Fesenko, head of the Kyiv-based Penta Center independent think tank, believes that Zelenskyy “will try to play with China... in order not to allow China and Russia to come closer together.”

 

Zelenskyy said Friday that his main goal was making sure China doesn’t supply weapons to Russia. And he expressed hope that China’s involvement could be useful in isolating Russia. “Our task is to gather everyone to isolate the one,” he said.

That is a very workable strategy. It will deplete Ukrainian manpower and use up western military aid. In the end the point will come when there may be no more readily available military supplies to send to Ukraine.The manpower part could get critical if the new western aid spurs Ukraine to make an attempt at a major offensive.
