MSM Demand Zelensky Admit He Can’t Win the War, Report On Ukraine’s Old and Poorly Trained Soldiers Who Are Dying Fast and Panicking Under Fire

Two and a half years since the war began, we’ve finally come to the point where most of the Mockingbird Media is ready to call it quits, and openly admit the obvious: Russian Federation troops are winning the war.

Even in their cheerleading for Kiev, they have to admit that ‘if Ukraine and its Western backers are to win, they must first have the courage to admit that they are losing.’

“A measure of Ukraine’s declining fortunes is Russia’s advance in the east, particularly around the city of Pokrovsk.

[…] Ukraine is also struggling off the battlefield. Russia has destroyed so much of the power grid that Ukrainians will face the freezing winter with daily blackouts of up to 16 hours. People are tired of war. The army is struggling to mobilize and train enough troops to hold the line, let alone retake territory. There is a growing gap between the total victory many Ukrainians say they want, and their willingness or ability to fight for it.”

Another unmistakable realization is that abroad, ‘fatigue is setting in’, be it in Germany and France or in the United States.

“If Mr Zelensky continues to defy reality by insisting that Ukraine’s army can take back all the land Russia has stolen since 2014, he will drive away Ukraine’s backers and further divide Ukrainian society. Whether or not Mr Trump wins in November, the only hope of keeping American and European support and uniting Ukrainians is for a new approach that starts with leaders stating honestly what victory means.”

It’s become obvious that he does not have the men or arms to turn the war around.

In a different report, the same The Economist has to state that “With his army gradually losing ground, his people’s enthusiasm for the war flagging and Western support in doubt, Mr. Zelensky is in a bind.”

The article reminds Western readers that ‘since Ukraine recaptured the city of Kherson in late 2022, it has made almost no progress repelling Russia’s invasion’.

The summer offensive in 2023 was a failure, and now Moscow is closing in on several more Ukrainian strongholds in Donetsk, including Pokrovsk and Ugledar.

Another harsh reality they start to face is the attacker’s huge advantage in firepower, especially now with glide bombs, which are guided munitions of up to 3 tons that can flatten defensive positions and slaughter troops.

“Russia [has launched] nine waves of attacks from March to August against Ukraine’s power plants and electricity grid. It has hit targets in almost every province under Ukrainian control, according to a recent UN report. This onslaught took out some 80% of Ukraine’s coal- and gas-fired generation.”

At this point, 77% of Ukrainians say a friend or acquaintance has died in the war, while 22% have lost a relative.

That is not all, because Some 6.5m people – almost a fifth of the population – have fled the country.

And who are the people that Kyiv expects to turn this around? Old – for war – conscripted people with an average age of 45 years old, whose training standards have reportedly been so poor that not all of them know how to hold a weapon.

“The Ukrainian Army is suffering from a continued decline in the capabilities of its frontline units, as losses among trained and experienced units have fuelled a fast growing reliance on conscript units with very limited operational capabilities.”

Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi says that recruits ‘have consistently proven to lack necessary training for frontline operations’.

Senior conscription officer: “Out of 100 people who joined the units last fall, 10-20 remain, the rest are dead, wounded or disabled.

Ukraine’s troops and their commanders are growing concerned over manpower problems, particularly the quality of new recruits and the speed at which they are injured or killed in combat.

…] The new conscripts lack basic combat skills and motivation and often abandon their positions when they come under fire.

[…] The commanders estimated that 50 to 70 percent of new infantry troops were killed or wounded within days of starting their first rotation.

‘When the new guys get to the position, a lot of them run away at the first shell explosion’.”

Since the a new conscription law in May, Ukraine has managed to to draft about 30,000 soldiers a month – mostly by force.

“But commanders on the ground and military analysts have warned that the newly drafted troops are not highly motivated, are psychologically and physically unprepared — and are being killed at an alarming rate as a result.”

The remaining seasoned soldiers die too quickly and are being replaced by older men without experience and in worse physical shape.

“’Some of them don’t even know how to hold their rifles. They peel more potatoes than they shoot bullets’, he said, adding that he had bought paintball equipment to replace rifles and live rounds so that new recruits could get more practice without wasting precious ammunition.”

The phrase “meat grinder” regards Ukraine was also coined by the Russians, then copied by the Ukrainians and western MSM, and since we have near total censorship of Russian media (~40 outlets) in our mind that too is ours.

Not sure if you’re aware of what Ukrainian casualties look like, but since their failed major counter offensive of 2023, it’s not pretty.

So when will Russia take over the Ukraine? This month, next month... Next year... The year after?
Putin promised that Ukrainians would welcome Russians with open arms and the entire country would be in Russian control within a matter of weeks... That was two and half years ago... So exactly when will that happen?
With about 80% of the power grid gone, and the average age of its soldiers pegged at 45 years of age, I believe the Ukraine 'lost' the war a long time ago, but continues to fight to the last Ukrainian.
It's not just the power grid, but also electronics plugged into the power grid were destroyed with a tactic of electrical switching, which fried anything plugged into the power grid. SO where does that leave those needing medical attention - power blackouts and fried technology.

Address by the President of the Russian Federation

I would also like to address the military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Comrade officers,

Your fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers did not fight the Nazi occupiers and did not defend our common Motherland to allow today’s neo-Nazis to seize power in Ukraine. You swore the oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people and not to the junta, the people’s adversary which is plundering Ukraine and humiliating the Ukrainian people.

I urge you to refuse to carry out their criminal orders. I urge you to immediately lay down arms and go home. I will explain what this means: the military personnel of the Ukrainian army who do this will be able to freely leave the zone of hostilities and return to their families...

Vladimir Putin: Russian response will be swift 1. Putin promises that all goals of the operation will be attained, and response to strategic threats to Russia will be ‘lightning-fast’...

https://mgimo.ru/about/news/experts/vladimir-putin-russian-response-will-be-swift/?utm_source=google.ca&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=google.ca&utm_referrer=google.ca

Pure and simple... If you look at the speeches and meanderings of Putin, you can only come to one conclusion... He's insane.

Zeepers make stuff up. But I do remember Zelinski talking about his tanks in Moscow in 2022. For you the zeeper, Putin always said this war timeline was to wipe out the AFU and defeat Ukraine. Russia doesn’t want to own Ukraine, or invade Poland, or Germany. But they will give Poland and Romania all the Western Ukrainian lands they want to administer after Biden is defeated in Kiev.

Russia currently occupies 85% of the natural resources wealth of 1991 Ukraine. The US and NATO countries have now made their peace with losing their “investments” in Ukraine - NATO is arming Ukraine to defend their bank investments, which are now under Russian management.

Idiots always talk about land. Russian’s simply focus on wiping out the AFU. To be fair, Ukraine is losing 2500 men a day, sometimes north of 3000. Their military is down to 400k from 1.2m 2.5 years ago. Russia is up to 1.4m with another 350k arriving in January 2025.

Kursk has cost Ukrane 500 men a day and 1800 vehicles. The west has money and can print even more, but they cannot find military equipment and transport for the AFU.

Ukraine is running out of men. Russia simply kills all of them that stay on the line of contact. Russia only moves forward taking land once Ukraine runs out of men. Ukraine will have not defenses in the soft underbelly all the way to Poland - they are forward deployed and once those on any front line are gone, they are dead. Ukraine cannot continue to hold Russia back.

Biden simply wants Ukraine to last until Janaury 2025. Biden already lost the war.

Thanks for the details. I never heard most of these things. Piano with penis? Totally barf worthy. How can I unsee this?

But Hunter B is jealous he didn’t think of this first. I actually saw naked Hunter getting a BJ from Chinese woman while smoking crack. It was online for a brief time on Taiwan TV. I sent link to a female friend and told her this made Biden bribable, but she didn’t care, she hated Trump so much, she’d even vote for Hunter. End of friendship.
