The end of Bakhmut.....(Interesting confirmed reporting)
Asian Times ^ | 5/17/2023 | Steven Breyen

Posted on 05/18/2023 10:44:35 AM PDT by caww

(Note: The information coming from Bakhmut so far is confirmed. The rumors about the fate of Ukraine’s generals are not confirmed.)

The Dnieper is absolutely strategic for Ukraine. If the Russians can reach its banks, Ukraine will be cut in half.....manpower remains Ukraine’s Achilles heel. It is becoming more and more difficult for Ukraine to recruit soldiers or dragoon young men into service. This will only multiply when the full impact of the Bakhmut defeat is known to the Ukrainian public.

The Ukrainian army leadership also is in doubt. Its top leader, General Valery Zaluzhny, seemingly has disappeared. And so, too, has General Aleksandr Syrskyi, commander of the Ukrainian ground forces. There are no answers but plenty of rumors.

One rumor is that Zelensky went on his European tour while the military opposition was eliminated. Another is that these two generals were involved in corruption and were caught. A third rumor is that both were killed in a missile strike.

If the planned offensive is delayed because the army’s leaders have been killed, for whatever reason, then Zelensky will face overwhelming problems.

Zelenskyyyy in one month: “In addition to sending us rockets, missiles, artillery, planes, tanks, and ammunition, please send us your troops.”

Looks like Zelensky got rid of the generals who said it would be too costly in lives to hold Bakhmut. Zelensky’s plan is just to shove as many as possible into the meatgrinder and couldn’t care less how many men are lost.

I think we are in end times for zelenski. Ukraine will have accept that Russia will keep the Russian areas it currently occupies. And Ukraine will have to agree not to join or host nato. Ukraine screwed-up, they listened to the American regime.

Rumors are meaningless.

End for Zelensy?

He was predicted to be gone many times. But yet he remains.

“Looks like Zelensky got rid of the generals”

Wishful thinking. The Uke generals have run circles around the portly Russian counterparts.

If, if, if....what a bunch of speculation and nonsense. Do you even know how far it is from Bakhmut to the Dnieper River?

You losers have been ignoring the obvious and pushed the most outrageous propaganda in human history. Bagdad Bob could learn from you.

It’s been a slow slogging, bloody slaughter for Ukraine. Too bad Zelensky and his fool money hungry military industrial complex need to see if their new weapons kill in a “good and righteous” war.

The arrogance of fools.

“The Uke generals have run circles around the portly Russian counterparts.”

The Ukrainian forces have been directed by a brain trust in a few basements in Washington DC.

The generals just had to do as they were told.

The only questions remaining are:

What date will Ukraine fall?

When will Zelenskyy flee to some foreign land for safety?

How many billions will Zelenskyy have pilfered by the time he is sipping drinks on a beach somewhere?

Will the Biden regime be held accountable for yet another complete and utter failure which has cost about 250,000 Ukrainians their lives along with tens of billions of US treasure?

So you’re saying that the Ukrainians should NOT defend their own country against a foreign invader?

Russia was meant to have collapsed by now....and stunningly the only winner in this war is China!

“China bailed out Putin’s economy swapping energy and raw materials for goods and technology. The sanctions never worked..... Russian-Chinese trade rose 41.3 % in the first four months of the year to $73 billion, financing Putin’s war.”

“China’s exports to Russia were up 153% in April 2023 alone; which more than cancels out the decline in German and French trade”, as Robin Brooks, of the Institute for International Finance, pointed out.

China’s trade has also shot up with Belarus, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Turkey, all with easy, porous access to Russia.

No wonder Russian society hasn’t imploded. There may no longer be any McDonald’s in Moscow, but sales of Chinese cars are buoyant. We were told Russia couldn’t survive without Western technology, but it is switching instead to China’s rival systems.”

Unless Nato itself has something up it’s sleeve this will end sooner rather than later. Might be nation leaders know this and why they’re holding back now. Zelensky’s trip tour begging might just be keeping him out of Ukraine while this goes down....would also account for the missing Generals.
