Zelensky: Russia planning major offensive
The Hill ^ | 01/04/2023 | Brad Dress

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday said Russia is planning a major “new offensive” but did not give an estimated timeline for the attack.

In a Tuesday address, Zelensky warned the Ukrainian people of “new mobilization processes” that Russia is preparing.

“We have no doubt that the current masters of Russia will throw everything they have left and everyone they can muster to try to turn the tide of the war and at least postpone their defeat,” Zelensky said. “We have to disrupt this Russian scenario. We are preparing for this. The terrorists must lose.”

Some Ukrainian officials also warned last month about a potential new Russian offensive in January or February, including Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, a top commander in the Ukrainian army who told The Economist that Russia is preparing some 200,000 troops and could have another go at Kyiv.

But the claims contradict U.S. intelligence that says both armies are likely to slow in the winter months and that no major new ground offensives are likely until the spring.

The Hill has reached out to the Defense Department for comment.

The Ukies are defeating the Russians by punching the Russians in the fists with their faces.

Everybody knows it. Waiting for the ground to freeze so you can drive a thousand tanks on it. War 101.

There is no way to do a stealth land attack.

He has access to some of the best Satellite intelligence out there.

You don’t mass troops under tarps anymore.

Saint George WashingtonZelensky knows what is coming his way and is begging once again for us to blow $ billions to save him. I hope he is a casualty of the war, the grifting little beggar.

Only 100 billion? That will get them thru the night. Need at least 500 billion within the next week or else!

Everything from this guy is the same exact message.

“Screw the dead/refugee citizens, I’m toast if I don’t win this war!”

Lawyers, Guns and Money plays in the background, “Dad, get me out of this!”

Without the US, Zelensky wouldn’t still be alive and war would be over.
