As Russian Forces Intensify Assault Operations in Zaporizhzhia and Northern Belgorod, the Kremlin Demands Ukrainian Constitutional Order Be Scrapped Under the Pretense of “Denazification”
Summary of the Day — March 28, 2025
Russian President Vladimir Putin has reintensified efforts to portray the Ukrainian government as illegitimate, resurrecting his “denazification” rhetoric and demanding a UN-supervised temporary administration in Ukraine as a precondition for peace talks. This demand comes as Kyiv announced that Ukrainian, British, and French general staff representatives will meet within a week to discuss potential European troop deployments to Ukraine as part of a “reassurance force.” On the battlefield, fighting has escalated in multiple sectors, with Russia intensifying assault operations in Zaporizhzhia Oblast while Ukrainian forces have advanced 3-4 kilometers into Russia’s Belgorod region. The fragile energy infrastructure ceasefire continues to fray, with both sides trading accusations of violations. Meanwhile, Moscow has displayed its naval muscle with the launch of the nuclear submarine Perm, equipped with hypersonic Zircon missiles, as part of a plan to expand its nuclear submarine fleet through 2050.
Delegitimizing Ukraine’s Government: Putin’s Latest Peace Obstruction Tactic
Russian President Vladimir Putin has stepped up efforts to portray Ukraine’s government as illegitimate and incapable of engaging in meaningful peace negotiations. During a visit to a Russian submarine command post in Murmansk Oblast on March 27, Putin recycled his longstanding rhetoric about “Nazis” and people with “neo-Nazi views” having significant influence in the Ukrainian government.
