It was telegraphed but Ukraine is kind of busy trying to cover the front with too few soldiers. Most Battalions (600-900 troops) are reported to be below 400 now. Some are under 200. Russia will probably just pound Odessa into relative submission and then send in troops. Russia is producing missiles fast and producing so many drones they are stockpiling them as well as using them. Russia is in control and in no hurry anywhere on the front.

Russia is an ally of the United States throughout history. Our people share the same traditional values.

The Ukrainian government was installed by Obama and the cabal as a headquarters for evil. Since then the cabal’s media has propagandizes us to think Russia is evil.

But Trump is working with Putin through back channels.

Ukraine goes after military targets, Russia after civilians.

It has become clear that Russia is going to be able to take as much of Ukraine as they want.

The war is closing in on Odessa.

Missiles launched from long distances is not the same as taking Odessa.

Odessa is 'ungettable' by Russia. They would need more than 1 million troops for an offensive against Odessa, but then, that would mean 1 million casualties for the Russians. Russia can't afford to send 1 million troops to Odessa, since they no longer have that kind of manpower and no support for them.

Imagine how much damage Ukraine could have inflicted on Russian cities, if they were to do to Russia what Russia does to Ukraine. But, Ukraine saves their missiles and drones to attack Russian infrastructure and military sites.

Russia does things that are war crimes. Ukraine does things to hit the Russian military infrastructure where it hurts the most.

With the Ukies attacking the fourth Russian tanker in international waters, I fully expect Odessa WILL be lost, ( in retaliation), and Ukraine stumbles into becoming a land locked rump nation.

Odesssa has been reported to be deelectrified for three days, ( all 40 sub stations destroyed), the two main bridges to Odessa blown, and rumors of Vlad to start retaking Odessa in weeks...no tears.

Yes Odessa has been getting more and more attention lately. If Putin takes that Ukraine will be a land locked country. Zelensky is a fool for letting this go on and on.

I called this for the last several years. Ukraine is going to be left a land locked playground for money laundering, “rebuilding” scams and there will not be a single man that will be able to defend Ukraine. All the natural resources and fertilizer, rare earth and oil/nat gas will be owned by BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street and the legislators/bureaucrats and the families of the United States government that wanted this to happen.

Make a list of all the Ukraine supporters and you’ll find the bloody hands of Ukraine parasites.

I don't believe a word of it. Because according to the Zeepers and Lady Preacher, Ukraine has wiped out every thing Russian including Russian salad dressing and Russian vodka. If it has the word “Russian” in its name, Ukrainians have erased it for ever more and ever after. I came upon this knowledge by reading the posts on Free Republic.com by The Lady Preacher and numerous Zeepers whose names are forever enshrined in the ledgers of Mensa due to their infinite wisdom.
