If this is true and I have no reason to believe it’s not, unless the Ukrainian army puts up a fierce resistance then Kharkiv will get a real pounding from Russian artillery.
If the Ukrainian Army pulls back to another defensive line, there would be no reason to level the city.
I heard in the same report that Odessa is the next city after Kharkiv to be encircled and taken.
We’ll see, but never fear the 60 billion that eventually will be sent to them by the US will save the day.
“I heard in the same report that Odessa is the next city after Kharkiv to be encircled and taken.”
Yep, Odessa is also in the dark (along with a few other big cities in the east), but not Kiev, Lviv, or anything else in the Western Ukraine.
“We’ll see, but never fear the 60 billion that eventually will be sent to them by the US will save the day.”
LOL, of course the problem has never been the money, but the fact that the West never bothered to prepare for WW3, so their production lines support only attrition losses (such as firing shells during training). So pretty much anything they give to Ukraine results in the West weakening itself, and, as we see, there are limits to this suicidal tendency.
But the money does have one effect that helps Ukraine. It frees up Ukrainians (mostly much of the remaining men there) to go to the front line and die for the Neocons! as they can replace non-military functions with imports of people and goods.
“ eventually will be sent to them by the US ”
And sent right back to Members of Congress and Senators who vote the right way.
More money will always be the solution as long as our politicians (plus their relatives and pals) get their skim, kickbacks, payoffs and no-show jobs.
