Russian President Vladimir Putin has given the new commander of the Russian military forces in Ukraine a March deadline to seize control of the Donbas region, according to a Ukrainian intelligence spokesman.
Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, told Ukraine's Freedom TV on Monday that General Valery Gerasimov was ordered to capture the eastern region in Ukraine by March. The news outlet Ukrainska Pravda reported that Yusov also said during the interview that Putin has set similar deadlines in the past without success.
"This is not the first timeframe. It got delayed every time. It will be a year since the start of the full-scale invasion, and a year of them 'capturing Kyiv in three days.' They will not succeed this time as well," Yusov said, as translated by Ukrainska Pravda.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked on Tuesday about the alleged March deadline imposed by Putin on Gerasimov for taking the Donbas region, according to the Russian state-run news agency TASS.
"No, I cannot [comment on it] and have zero intention of doing it," Peskov reportedly answered during a press conference.

The problem with that is the enemy gets a vote too.
Gerasimov had better stay away from any windows.
Window cancer.
The same Ukrainian defense minister who is the source for the claim in this article, made the false claim about Russia definitely starting new wave of 500,000 mobilization and shutting the border for men on Jan 15th.
But many freeper will assume this article is true anyway, watch
“Window cancer.”
LOL! Good one!
“... according to a Ukrainian intelligence spokesman. “
More SPAM.

Well if he said it, it must be true!
Here’s another clue this is BS…
Comment That the Russians intended to capture Kiev in 3 days and failed because Slava Ukraine
What about Kherson and Zaporizhzhia?
If the Russian Terrorists get to Part 2 then they will lose Part 1.
Then we will see Part 3 Putin falls from a high window.
According to a “Ukrainian intelligence spokesman.” Constant barrage of the Ukrainian ‘narrative’ in the MSM and on FR.
New Russian 5 Year Plan?
With the global economy slowing down, demand for commodities is falling and with it prices.
Maybe Biden can report this as a great success in the future. Look everyone we solved high gas prices by crashing the economy!
Other commodities don’t show such a dramatic trend. The point here is that it is becoming increasingly apparent that Russia’s use of energy for leverage against the West has backfired.
I wonder if Putin got his idea from this.
