Fog of War: Zelensky Says Russia ‘Razed’ Ukraine City but It Isn’t Lost
Breitbart ^ | 05/21/2023 | Simon Kent

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that Russian troops weren’t occupying Bakhmut even though they may have “razed it” to the ground and it is no longer in full possession of Kyiv’s forces.

That assertion made in Hiroshima, Japan, where Zelensky is meeting members of the G7 at their annual conference directly contradicts Moscow’s claims the eastern Ukrainian city has fallen.

On Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated mercenaries from the Wagner organisation and regular units for the operation to “liberate” the town.

Zelenskyy and Biden are in complete denial and damage control.

Joe Biden in Damage Control – Attempts to Paint Losing Bakhmut, Ukraine as a Loss for Russia at G7 Meetings

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/joe-biden-damage-control-attempts-paint-losing-bakhmut/

On Sunday morning Joe Biden held a press conference with Ukrainian President Zelensky who is eager to fight on despite the crippling loss.

The Biden regime, uniparty, and globalists are right there with him.

Joe Biden attempt to spin this loss suggesting Russia lost 100,000 soldiers in the battle for Bakhmut.

Does anyone believe this?

That gay-dancing, little grease stain would be smart to hole up and count his cash in a sympathetic country which was also in on the grift.

Monty Python did a skit about this.

Something to do with the head of a knight looking up and hollering as the conquerors rode past.

One minute he says one thing and then contradicts himself the next minute. He doesn’t seem to know a hell of a lot but our resident Zeepers, well they know more than Zelensky does.

I guess Zelensky changes his words according to which choir he is performing for.

The Ukies will be screaming soon...Russia has already held Crimea for 9 years. Now all of a sudden, this Zelensky says you must fight to the death to get it back. and while the world might not approve of russia holding crimea, it was a russian dominated area and i believe the referendum was the right way to go.

We supported the coup that put Poroshenko in Power. He was a monster and dreamed of a Pure Ukie Race...where Russian is not spoken, or taught or allowed in any way.

Crimea was always Russian, dating back to the Czarist times.

There is no reporting of this war that is believable.

It’s all propaganda.

*************

His running mouth and dissembling seems to keep the money flowing in so not much incentive there to shut up.
