“Major Yuri Shvets, KGB defector:
The United States finally concluded that Russia must suffer a devastating defeat in Ukraine.
1,000+ long-range ATACMS (300km+) allocated for Ukraine are in Europe for over a month already.

The US arrived at this conclusion because of the realization that no negotiations are possible with Putin or his potential successors. What remains now is the strategy to achieve the objective. Ukraine also already received several hundred Storm Shadow missiles from Britain.

Both long-range ATACMS and Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles are strategic weapons, not “defensive weapons.” Shvets claims there will not be conditions for target selection for Ukraine on the use of these strategic missiles. Strategic objective to make Crimea “untenable” appears key.

Given the available intelligence, neither the European capitals nor Washington are convinced that Russia’s claims that they placed nuclear weapons in Belarus are true. One big reason for the assessment is the doubt that Russia even has combat-ready nuclear warheads of the type.

A decision has been made to punish Russia for its constant nuclear saber-rattling and bluffing. In response, the United States will indeed situate nuclear warheads in Poland, but potentially in another nation as well. Air-launched variant for the F-35 platform.

A decision has also been made to effectively make the airspace over Ukraine untenable for Russia. Additional air defense systems and F-16 aircraft are coming.
Russia mass producing glide kits for extended range and precision of their FAB-500kg, 1500kg, 3000kg bombs is wakeup call

A key issue remains - mobilization of 300,000 more soldiers in Ukraine, which is critically necessary. The monumental shift in the US and Europe’s policy to make Russia suffer a devastating defeat in Ukraine is hoped to facilitate this, so Ukraine would have 1.2 million soldiers.

Russia has catastrophic issues in trying to execute a nuclear test to scare the West. Around 2 years ago, Russia botched a nuclear test on the Kola Peninsula (Murmansk) - as a result of an explosion, many died and many received severe burns.

Just recently, the Russian Voronezh-45 nuclear warhead storage facility suffered a giant explosion. Radiation was detected. Ambulances seen rushing there from all over the region. It’s the one that Prigozhin encircled in June 2023 during his rebellion.

The West’s goal for 2024 is to buy enough time until the military industrial complex is able to ramp up production of the armaments needed for Ukraine to defeat Russia. 2025 may turn out to be the key year in the war, when the main strategic objectives will be finally executed.”
