The head of Ukraine's military, General Valeriy Zaluzhny, has warned that Russia may be preparing for a renewed assault on the capital city of Kyiv after being repelled earlier this year.

"The Russians are preparing some 200,000 fresh troops. I have no doubt they will have another go at Kyiv," Zaluzhny told the Economist.

The Russian Army no longer has the armor for a second assault on Kyiv, and neither does Belarus.

If, after all the money and advisors and weapons from the USA and NATO, the Ukrainians are still at risk, maybe it’s time to negotiate a peace treaty?

Well, I guess it’ll be fun seeing all those 70-year old T-55s rolling over the Belarus border then through Chernobyl if they are planning some sort of attack on Kyiv again.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has been effectively de- energized, de/ industrialized, de-populated, currency destroyed, billions on unpaid debt, historic unemployment, historic crippling inflation, infrastructure mostly gone….expended, basically a Welfare nation dependent on western handouts to survive. There is much more to War than lines drawn on a map.

Funny how Vlad is destroying Ukraine exactly the way the West defeated the Soviets…..economically…and Vlad keeps checkmating the West, again and again.

This war will end on Vlad’s terms, the Ukies have been given enough chances to start negotiations.

Ukraine 1991- 2023 RIP, soon to be a “ Rump” welfare nation.

““Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”
“If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.”

“When your army has crossed the border, you should burn your boats and bridges, in order to make it clear to everybody that you have no hankering after home.”

“The spot where we intend to fight must not be made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare against a possible attack at several different points;”

Sun Tzu: The Art of War

“What’s pretty good? They haven’t actually done anything yet.”

Other than blow up all your military hardware and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian manpower...

Let this sink in, peddler:

⚡️ #Ukraine will be able to reach the borders on February 23 IF it has 300 tanks, about 700 infantry fighting vehicles and half a thousand howitzers, - Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny”

Ok, I’m going to go put on a limb and say that attempt is not going to happen.

Putin’s military is exhausted and in the east. They won’t attempt to send troops to Kyiv.

Putting a bookmark reminder to myself for 1st March to see if I would be correct

The west didn’t invade your beloved USSR.

Vlad your idol, attacked a weaker neighbour. And now, 10 months later he is still losing ground

They probably won’t go to a western bank of Dnepr. But eastern bank will be taken completely. I think new border with Ukraine will be river Dnepr.

Yeas but not out of good will but fearing nuclier war.

Vlad your idol, attacked a weaker neighbour. ==

This neibor didn’t fulfill Minsk agreements and constantly bombarded prorussian people and prepared to seriously undermine Russia security. It all is a casus belli.

Also the territory about what the war started are Russian territory given to ukies by soviet commies. Russia is just returning them back.

Russia wasn’t repelled but just withdrew. And This war is just in its beginnings.
