Russia Rejects Ceasefire as Zelensky Pleads: Kyiv's Forces Encircled in Disaster | John Mearsheimer

#JohnMearsheimer #UkraineWar #Geopolitics #RussiaUkraineConflict

Russia has rejected Zelensky's desperate ceasefire plea as Ukrainian forces find themselves encircled in what can only be described as a strategic disaster. This isn't a surprise—it's exactly what happens when great powers collide and smaller nations become the battlefield for someone else's ambitions.
Think of it like a playground where the biggest kid on one side keeps expanding his territory right up to the fence of the second-biggest kid. The warnings were ignored. The expansion continued. And now, the punch-back has arrived—hard and unrelenting. This analysis breaks down the logic driving Russia's refusal, why the encirclement was predictable, and what the West's miscalculation has cost Ukraine.
In this video, you'll discover:

Why Russia has no strategic incentive to grant a ceasefire right now
The balance of power logic that makes this outcome tragically predictable
How NATO expansion set the conditions for this encirclement years ago
