Zelensky Changes Tune on 'Battle for Bakhmut' After Russian Wagner Group Takes Control
YouTube ^ | May 22, 2023 | Rachel Blevins

For months, the 'Battle for Bakhmut' has been a main point in Zelensky's fundraising pitch, as he gallivanted across NATO territory in search of more lethal aid.

But now that the Russian Wagner Group has taken control of the city, the "fortress" Zelensky once touted that was supposed to "change the trajectory of the war" is no more, and he refuses to acknowledge that he knowingly sent thousands of men to their death, while he used their lives to increase his own wealth...

It’s nothing a few Billion to his off-shore Bank Account can’t fix.

Ukraine is falling apart and their president and generals are nowhere to be found.

“For months, the ‘Battle for Bakhmut’ has been a main point in Zelensky’s fundraising pitch...”

No worries, he’s got 100 more.

Your Russian propaganda is bait for the pro-Putinists!

Blevins, for all her pro-Kremlin messaging, had never quite fit the stereotype that might leap to mind when one thinks of Putin’s American puppets. For lack of a better term, she came across as a normal young American journalist, passionate and seemingly sincere. But she’d been with RT America for three and a half years, and she continues to vociferously defend its journalism. All of which raises some questions, foremost among them: how did a young woman from a small town in Texas end up as the face of RT America as the network spectacularly imploded?

How much do you want to bet the Russians hold it?

Ukraine had eight years and billions of US tax dollars to dig into to Bakhmut and were defeated by the Wagner group.

Ukraine need only switch to gorilla war and wear the Russians down eventually.

Gorillas do not live in Europe. But a guerilla war only works when the population supports the cause. I am not sure that is so in Eastern Ukraine.

Gorilla war? That something Zelenski came up with?

This sounds like fun! Will the guerillas wear cool bandanas and Che Guevara t-shirts?

#15: "Gorillas do not live in Europe."

I beg to differ. They are invading Europe by the boatloads.

Wagner’s leaving the city June 1st. Personally, I think the head of Wagner knows taking it and holding it are two different things and the founder of Wagner knows what will happen soon and he knows he will blame the Russian military for losing what the Wagner Group had taken.
