Thanks for transcribing an hour-long interview!

[ransomnote's sidenote: I came across a wikipedia article explaining that there's a push to make the western media spell Kyiv and not Kyiev because the first is Ukrainian spelling and the latter is Russian spelling:

Pointless virtue signaling. Then, why not use every foreign country's preferred spelling of its capital?

Kobenhavn, not Copenhagen.

Den Haag, not The Hague.

Beograd, not Belgrade.

Wien, not Vienna.

Roma, not Rome.

Warszawa, not Warsaw.

etc.

UKRAINE DARKNESS: Alcohol and Drug Abuse Spike Among the Collapsing Defenders
n the battlefields of Ukraine, the abuse of alcohol and drugs is escalating, as the situation on the front lines has taken a disastrous turn for the worse for the Ukrainian defenders.

Without any way to decompress from the horror of war, many soldiers are turning to drugs and alcohol as a way to cope.

The Daily Beast reported on the issue:

“Some of those defending Ukraine are also abusing illegal substances that they buy through shady online businesses run by the country’s mafia. [Some get] so drunk or high that they have killed civilians, soldiers, and animals in a blind rage or while driving under the influence.”

Some of these soldiers have not been taken off of frontline rotation in as much as eight months.

“In Kyiv—far from the front lines—nationalism and the belief that Ukraine will win the war are ever-present, but in Donbas The Daily Beast has witnessed a far darker mood where drunken soldiers aimlessly wander the markets in Kostyantynivka, dead dogs line the streets, and some soldiers say Ukraine is headed for defeat.”

One soldier told the paper that forcibly conscripted people ‘don’t know how to do anything, and they get into a crisis situation’.

Zelensky is/has always been the installed puppet slave of the Washington neocon deepState. As pointed out he is now delusional as to his power, and as the proxxy war is going down in flames he is the obvious scapegoat. When he is removed it will allow the continuation of this murderous criminal obamanation for a while longer.

Day 840 of Putin's 3 day war.

Mercouris still sees no problems anywhere for Russia - even after Russian casualties have passed the half million mark.

The U.S. and Ukraine will sign a ten year bilateral security agreement tomorrow (June 13) during the G7 summit in Italy, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told the press today (June 12) - making America the 14th nation to do so.

Also today, the Armenian President declared that Armenia is formally leaving the CSTO (Russia's tiny replacement for the old Warsaw Pact - most members of which have since joined NATO).
