Ukraine – The Situation (June 3)
Asia Times ^

Posted on 06/04/2022 4:15:10 AM PDT by FarCenter

Russian forces that entered Severodonetsk in the Donbass on May 30 now control most of the city. Ukrainian defenders backing out of the city have yet to decide on whether or when to drop the three bridges across the Donets River to the twin city of Lysychansk to the West.

In the south, Ukrainian forces continue operations east of the Inhulets river, north-east of Kherson where Russian forces have built fortified positions and are continuing artillery fire (MLRS) in direction of Mikolaiv, the so-called “shield of Odessa.”

As in previous days, there was no ground movement reported in the northeast around Kharkiv but incessant Russian artillery shelling was reported.

A US military source in Washington, DC, reports growing concern over Ukrainian casualties as recruits are given two weeks of training and incur a very high casualty rate estimated at 65%.

Russian news agency TASS reports that a Russian Navy task force, comprising six amphibious assault ships of Russia’s Northern and Baltic fleets and six amphibious assault ships of the Russian Black Sea fleet, is ready to perform combat tasks in the Black Sea. (US sources have forecast a Russian attack on Odessa by July).

To date, the US Defense Department has announced it will ship four High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) for training purposes. Germany has announced four MARS2 systems and two IRIS-T-SLM advanced air defense systems to be paired with the MLRS systems.

4:15 a.m .: kyiv says it has regained ground on Russian troops in Severodonetsk

Ukraine claims to have pushed back Russian forces in Severodonetsk, a key city in the Donbass region where Moscow is concentrating its offensive in the hope of taking full control.

After 100 days of war, Russia claims to have fulfilled some of the objectives of the “special military operation” it launched to “denazify” Ukraine and protect its Russian-speaking population.

And this article:

U.S. Officials Admit They Have Lied About Ukraine Success and Russian Failures

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/06/u-s-officials-admit-lied-ukraine-success-russian-failures/

It is all a propaganda narrative and Zeepers fell for it lock stock and barrel.

The Ukies are toast. But, but, western MSM says they are attacking, going on the offensive, drivel. US arms are getting destroyed in transit ( non western MSM puts it at one third getting whacked)….does anyone understand the M777 and rocket systems supposedly being sent require huge supply trains across the flat plains? ….without any air power?…Tons of 155mm needed and just one MLRS shoots it’s wad at a dozen a time, a logistical nightmare.

As non western MSM pointed out awhile back, the “ Papasnaya Flower” was flowering, ( major breakthrough by Ivan) I was amazed at the corrupted western MSM non reporting or any mention.

Time for the corrupted little beggar to stop the carnage, get busy negotiating before Ukraine is carved up into pieces. Make no mistake, Vlad will do as he stated in his Feb 24th speech.
1) Denazification ( almost accomplished with the huge Mariupol surrender)
2) Demilitarization ( the Ukies are spent, with all manufacturing/ production destroyed- economy in ruins- Territorial Units used nilly willy, getting chewed up, with no replacements.
3) No NATO for the Ukies.

Time for reality to set in- realization Vlad has unlimited resources and will insure the ethnic Russian provinces WILL get their Independence from the Ukies, been on going since 2015, no matter what.
Finally, Ukie and Polish chatter is finally pointing to a Zelensky ouster,( it pays to seek out non western sources), the people are suffering while the little beggar and friends are filling their bank accounts ( minus ten percent for senile Joe’s gang).

“ A US military source in Washington, DC, reports growing concern over Ukrainian casualties as recruits are given two weeks of training and incur a very high casualty rate estimated at 65%.….. Russian news agency TASS reports that a Russian Navy task force, comprising six amphibious assault ships of Russia’s Northern and Baltic fleets and six amphibious assault ships of the Russian Black Sea fleet, is ready to perform combat tasks in the Black Sea. (US sources have forecast a Russian attack on Odessa by July…….. Severodonetsk is mostly destroyed; fighting is block by block. The Ukrainians are backing out of the city. Russian forces south of Severodonetsk, on the west side of the Donets River, are pushing north. Ukrainian forces need to decide whether to attempt to hold or back across the river, drop the bridges and face attack only from the south rather than from the east and the sout…… If and when the Lyman – Popasna gap closes, US sources estimate that 10,000 – 15,000 Ukrainian troops will be trapped.”
Vlads Donbass victory, like the huge Mariupol surrender, should finally bring the Ukies to the table. Biden’s war needs to end.

You mean like the Covid vax scam? Mandates? Forced jabs? Economy shut down? Boys in girls sports? Men in woman’s restrooms? Transxyz’s put in every .gov organization?…and on and on.
When is America going to wake up and realize anything vegetable head Joe does destroys America?…one piece at a time.
Time to wake up, use some common sense and don’t get sucked in.

You missed one! Hunter Biden laptop and 10% for the big guy.

Forget America waking up. If America is not awake after all the things you listed above — it ain’t going to happen.

Certainly, she will not wake up as long as we have important crises to deal with like Depp - Herd and the other meaningless trivia that has zero impact on our lives!

Even the Ukraine advisor to Zelensky said they have to lie to themselves and the public or it all collapses.

Statement made by Alexey Arestovich (Zelensky’s Top presidential adviser):

“The national idea of Ukraine is to lie to yourself and others as much as possible. Because if you tell the truth, everything will collapse.”

Arestovich is the most dangereous type of psychopaths, far more dangereous than his acolyte Zelensky....

Thursday he said .....after promising not to.....“Ukraine will use US-supplied rocket systems to strike into Russian territory should it deem such attacks necessary".... (If this happens we will see the potntial increasing dramatically for Third World War)

I imagine the depth of the Neo Nazi problem infiltrating the Ukie government will come to light when the corrupted little beggar Zelensky is forced to the negotiating table, Vlad ( and the Russian population) will demand Justice.
