Ricardo Baretzky, President of the European Centre for Information Policy and Security (ECIPS), the official European Union Intelligence Agency operating under Royal Decree WL22/16.594 by Treaty EST124 of the Council of Europe, has raised concerns regarding the recent developments in Ukraine and the diplomatic overtures being made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In a critical statement, Baretzky addressed Zelensky’s calls for peace negotiations, mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump, arguing that such moves are part of a broader strategy to gain time for Ukraine’s military and Western allies, particularly the United Kingdom and France. He also cautioned against the dangerous implications of falling for these tactics, which, according to Baretzky, could escalate the situation into a larger global conflict.
Zelensky’s recent statement expressing Ukraine’s readiness for peace talks with Russia has raised eyebrows, especially after a reportedly difficult meeting between the Ukrainian president and U.S. officials at the White House. Baretzky asserts that Zelensky’s offer of peace is far from genuine, but instead a well-calculated move aimed at prolonging the conflict and buying time for Ukraine’s military forces.
Zelensky’s Sudden Shift in Rhetoric
Zelensky’s shift toward peace talks represents a stark contrast to his previous stance, where he insisted that Ukraine would fight as long as necessary and that peace could only happen on Ukrainian terms. This recent statement—made via a post on the social media platform X—indicated that Zelensky now sees the potential for a negotiated settlement, with President Trump acting as a mediator. In the post, Zelensky expressed regret over the contentious meeting with Trump in the White House, stating, “We are ready to work fast to end the war.”
Baretzky, however, is skeptical of this change in tone. He believes that the timing of Zelensky’s call for negotiations is deliberate, a tactic to create an illusion of peace while continuing military operations. Baretzky explained that, far from signaling a desire for peace, Zelensky’s statement is part of an effort to gain critical time for rearming and preparing Ukraine’s forces, with significant support from Western allies, including the UK and France.
“There is no real regret on Zelensky’s part,” Baretzky said. “This move to call for peace talks is part of a well-calculated strategy. Zelensky is not seeking peace; he’s looking to manipulate the situation and delay any real resolution to the conflict.”
The Hidden Agenda: Escalating the Conflict
Baretzky further explained that Zelensky’s ultimate goal may be to escalate the conflict into a broader regional war. He raised the possibility that Ukraine’s military, with the backing of extremist elements, could stage a false-flag operation, provoking Russia into a violent response. According to intelligence reports, there are growing concerns that Zelensky’s government may be preparing such a scenario to justify NATO’s involvement and expand the war beyond the current boundaries.
“If President Trump falls for Zelensky’s proposal and agrees to mediate the talks, it could be the prelude to an even more dangerous escalation,” Baretzky warned. “There are signs that Ukraine may orchestrate an attack that would lead to Russian retaliation, which could drag NATO into the conflict. This is not peace—this is provocation.”
Moreover, Baretzky raised serious concerns about Ukraine’s possible pursuit of nuclear weapons. While no official evidence has surfaced that Ukraine has acquired nuclear capabilities, Baretzky suggested that Zelensky may have already secured such weapons through unofficial means. He emphasized that this development would increase the potential for catastrophic consequences, particularly if the conflict were to escalate further.
“Zelensky is not acting with the interests of peace in mind,” Baretzky said. “He has been seeking nuclear weapons and may have already obtained them through unofficial channels. If this is true, it poses a grave threat to the stability of Europe and the broader international community.”
Zelensky’s Pattern of Deception
Baretzky’s remarks are not isolated. Over the course of the war, Zelensky has been criticized for his increasingly authoritarian approach to governance. Allegations have surfaced regarding his suppression of political opposition, restriction of free speech, and heavy-handed tactics against dissenters. Zelensky’s administration has also been linked to controversial militias with far-right ideologies, adding further complexity to the situation in Ukraine.
Baretzky argues that these actions reflect a broader strategy designed to manipulate the international community and prolong the conflict for as long as possible. His government, Baretzky suggests, is not genuinely seeking a peaceful resolution to the war but is instead focused on consolidating power and maintaining its military posture with the assistance of Western allies.
“Zelensky’s government has shown a consistent pattern of undermining peace efforts,” Baretzky remarked. “His primary goal is not to end the war but to maintain control and secure further support from NATO countries. Ukraine’s interests lie in continuing the conflict, not negotiating an end to it.”
The Risk to European Security
The European Centre for Information Policy and Security (ECIPS) has long been concerned about the broader implications of the war in Ukraine. Baretzky highlighted that the conflict has already destabilized the region, leading to an influx of refugees and strained relations among EU member states. An escalation of the war could further destabilize Europe, leading to economic crises, increased social unrest, and a potential collapse of existing alliances.
Baretzky also pointed out that the rise of ultra-nationalist movements within Ukraine could contribute to further instability in neighboring countries. If the conflict were to expand, it could create ripple effects throughout Europe, undermining European Union unity and leading to greater divisions among member states.
“The war in Ukraine is not just a regional issue; it has global consequences,” Baretzky said. “If the situation escalates, it could cause a cascade of problems for the EU, including economic collapse, political fragmentation, and a rise in far-right extremism.”
The Case for Accountability
In addition to warning about the dangers posed by Zelensky’s actions, Baretzky called for accountability, emphasizing that the Ukrainian leader must answer for his role in exacerbating the conflict. He suggested that Zelensky’s actions have been deliberately calculated to manipulate world leaders, deceive the public, and further his own strategic interests at the expense of global peace.
“Zelensky must be held accountable for his actions,” Baretzky stated. “His efforts to deceive world leaders, his pursuit of nuclear weapons, and his manipulation of the war for personal gain cannot go unchecked. The international community must take a firm stance against these actions and hold him responsible for the instability he has caused.”
The Path Forward: A Global Responsibility
As the war in Ukraine continues, the potential for a larger conflict looms over Europe and the wider international community. The events unfolding in Ukraine are not just a regional issue; they are a matter of global security. The international community, particularly the United States, must approach Zelensky’s peace proposals with caution and a clear understanding of the broader implications of the situation.
For President Trump, as well as other world leaders, the stakes could not be higher. Baretzky’s warning is clear: any agreement that leads to a false peace or prolonged conflict could set the stage for a much larger global war. The world must carefully consider the consequences of falling for Zelensky’s manipulation and take decisive action to protect global stability.
“The world cannot afford to allow this situation to spiral out of control,” Baretzky concluded. “We need leadership that is committed to peace, but also one that is vigilant against manipulation and deceit. The future of Europe, and indeed the future of global peace, depends on it.”
Zelensky’s recent overtures for peace negotiations, along with his growing relationship with NATO allies, present a complex and potentially dangerous situation. While the rhetoric surrounding peace talks may sound like a step toward de-escalation, the reality is far more complicated. As President Ricardo Baretzky of ECIPS cautions, Zelensky’s actions are part of a larger strategy to manipulate global powers, buy time for Ukraine’s military, and potentially provoke a broader regional conflict. It is crucial that world leaders, especially President Trump, approach these developments with caution, ensuring that any response is informed by a clear understanding of Zelensky’s true objectives.
