Ukraine's military chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said in an interview published on Wednesday that Russia had launched a new offensive on the northeast of the country, adding that a large increase in assaults was already being observed.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had warned earlier that Russia was preparing an offensive on the two regions of Kharkiv and Sumy.

"I can say that the president is absolutely right and this offensive has actually already begun," Syrskyi said in an interview with Ukrainian publication LB.

"For several days, almost a week, we have been observing almost a doubling of the number of enemy attacks in all main directions (on the frontline)," he said.

The war, the first year of which was marked by rapid Russian territorial gains followed by Ukrainian counter-attacks, has since become far more of a battlefield stalemate, with Moscow grinding out relatively small gains by attacking with wave after wave of infantry squads.

Ukraine surrenders or loses significantly more territory.

Those are its options.

Unfortunately, there is another and more likely option now on the table. That option was caused by Vlad the Invader having both North Korean and Chinese troops engaged against Ukraine. Vlad expanded the war to prevent impact to the Russians. He takes the heat off of his ‘rule’ by having other nations have troops dying in place of Russians. Now, I hear rumors of European nations clamoring to commit soldiers into the war in Ukraine. Thus, Vlad the Invader has started, and now escalated, the conflict to the start of WWIII.

Peace was the best solution, but like many have said, why accept peace when Vlad has the Backing of the Chinese and doesn’t have to sacrifice Russian people for his ‘expansion’ until Europe commits.

Ukrainians already kicked invading Russian barbarians out of these areas once in 2022. That’s when Biden’s handlers cut aid to Ukraine due to their fears Putin might actually lose his colonialist war of choice. Now we here we are 3 years later and Putin’s regime is again trying to steal this land.

Obama, Biden, NATO and Western globalists and their meddling in Ukraine are absolutely responsible for provoking the war in Ukraine.

We help foment that Maiden coup that installed a puppet government hostile to both Moscow and the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine.

That absolutely in violation of the Ukrainian constitution, which pledged neutral toward Russia.

The people in Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk and other annexed areas overwhelmingly voted for a President that was removed from office illegally. They has every right to their independence or to join the Russian Federation.

There will be no world war because Trump will not get us involved. Without the possibility of us being involved, Europe countries won't even think about putting troops in Ukraine.

“There will be no world war because Trump will not get us involved.“

Trump will. He will seek peace first. He will negotiate, he will economically push, he will do everything first. Then, Vlad will push and Trump will use the big stick. He will acquiesce to European Troops, then he will use USAirPower over Ukraine freeing up Ukrainian pilots for deep penetrations into Russia. Russia will collapse and they will go nuclear. Feels more and more inevitable, like gravity, since the Chinese committed. I have always said, “stupid war with stupid prizes “.

I expect, that the Russians will continue to invade, with an objective to advance within short range missile bombardment proximity of Kiev.

That is a typical Russian strategy, to be a bellicose, intimidating, provocatour - just beyond the horizon.

That is what they did to the eastern oblasts of Ukraine.

There is no chance in hell that Trump will do anything that would risk us involved in a hot war with Russia or WW II over a country where there is absolutely NO NATIONAL INTEREST.

You're a living a fantasy world.

Kiev is already within the range of rocket artillery, always was.
And what did they do in Eastern Ukraine? It is Kiev that showered Donetsk suburbs with petal mines fornten years.
