Ukraine FALLING Despite Futile US AID!

After months of slow and rather undramatic attritional warfare, the Russian army is on the move again in Ukraine! Ever since Russian Foreign Minister Segei Lavrov warned of big moves coming by May 20th, the Russian forces have increased shellings of Ukrainian infrastructure and have been advancing more and more consistently across the front lines. They recently took the village of Ocheretino after less than 4 days of assaults when Ukrainian troops reportedly retreated against orders. This is a remarkably quick village battle as these sieges have taken months previously in this war and evidence of major dysfunction on the Ukrainian side.

The main TV broadcast tower used by the Ukrainian military in Kharkov, the second largest city in Ukraine after Kiev, was recently toppled by a Russian precision strike. If we remember at the beginning of the war/SMO, Russia was solely focusing on military targets in hopes to spur flash negotiations for the cessation of Donbass and Crimea to Russia. This turned into a desire to force a Ukrainian regime to surrender after Boris Johnson sabotaged all negotiations. Ultimately this failed as well as the entire collective west united against reason to protect the Zelensky regime. Now, we are finally seeing the slow and steady beast of Russian war. They are targeting infrastructure and taking the gloves off entirely. They know the Ukrainian people will eventually demand change in Kiev as basic infrastructure begins to break down.

The White House recently stated that, “The fighting in Ukraine is not developing in favor of Kiev in the Donbass or in the rest of the country.” Some western analysts have said that if Ukraine does not send immediate reinforcements to the aforementioned village (Ocheretino), the conditions will be completely set for a full Russian thrust into Kharkov oblast. Ukrainian military commander Oleksander Syrski also stated that if the town of Chaov Yar (just east of Bakhmut) that the regional frontline will be in serious jeopardy.

Ukrainian intelligence has stated that they apparently know Russia has no current plans for another assault on Kiev. We recently heard Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko throw cold water on any possibility of a strike on the Ukrainian capital from White Russia. Assuming this intelligence is accurate it may be safe to assume that Russia is focusing on reaching Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Kherson, and perhaps even Odessa, hoping to reach the capitals and largest cities of all of the oblasts they currently partially occupy.

With Mike Johnson’s recent betrayal of the American people in supporting the recent foreign aid bill it appears to have passed the Senate in a vote of 80-19. This bill also had the TikTok ban slipped into it which is so ridiculous it is beyond words. However as the past few months have shown, new US hardware will not turn back the tides of Russian advance. We see Ukrainians getting more and more desperate with Zelensky increasingly trying to use the US’s undying support for Israel as a precedent for US planes helping to intercept Russian weapons. Unfortunately the Ukrainians are learning the hard way that they are not Israel.

This author is fully anticipating large scale Russian movements across the frontline to be underway come late May. Zelensky has canceled elections and will have thus “delegitimized” himself. The Ukrainian people will eventually tire of his nonsense and will be willing to accept the reality on the ground and allow the Russian population of Ukraine to join their motherland. The sooner the better.
