With just a few words and a slickly produced piece of military propaganda, the commander in chief of Ukraine’s armed forces ratcheted up speculation that a long-awaited counteroffensive by Kyiv against Russia’s occupying forces could be imminent.
“The time has come to take back what is ours,” said the official, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhyni.
The minute-long video features Ukrainian troops marching, training and apparently preparing for battle.
Some are seen using German tanks and American artillery and rocket launchers – the type of armaments Kyiv would use in a potential operation to push Russian forces out of Ukrainian territory.

It’s over. How many more need to die? This is crazy.
The check’s in the mail.
If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
One of the most important parts of warfare is deception.
Expect deception from both sides. If they say they are doing something, expect the reality to be something else.
After Bakhmut Ukraine doesn’t have enough men left for a counteroffensive.
Donald Trump:
“I want everybody to stop dying. They’re dying. Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying,” Trump said at CNN’s town hall moderated by “CNN This Morning” anchor Kaitlan Collins.
…he doesn’t “think in terms of winning and losing.”
“I think in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people,” he said.
It’s too bad we took out Baghdad Bob, Ukraine needs him.
Saying “peace” and “let’s talk” right before an invasion.
Just like the (KGB-directed) commies always do.
Crush them and do away with this cancer upon the world.
Baghdad Bob became a TV game show host in Dubai shortly after he was captured and released in 2003. LOL
But there are a few FReepers (well, Zeepers) who are doing just as good a (snow)job for Zelvis as ol’ Bob did for Saddam.
VERY soon… JUST A FEW MORE BILLIONS FIRST.
GIBS-ME-DAT billions!
In that case Ukraine should go get him, they have enough money to double whatever he’s making.
Isn’t Zaluzhyni supposed to be dead? I’ve been told so here repeatedly.
This is a special YouTube video. 4 of the more popular bloggers on the Ukraine war meet virtually and prognosticate the wars trend.
All 4 agree the Offensive is likely going to be difficult for Ukraine, but also think it has some change of success.

I think they’re afraid that if they don’t announce it nobody will notice.
Yes Baghdad Bob would be perfect. The British MOD might have aldeady snapped him up, though. One of my fave Baghdad Bob quotes:
“We have destroyed two tanks, fighter planes, two helicopters and their shovels — We have driven them back.”
The Russians don’t don’t need him. They’ve got Prigozhin.
"He is not dead from the Russian missile attack which had caused his disappearance until this video clip was published on Thursday evening to dispel what the Ukrainian introducer called the mystery and the Russian propaganda of Zaluzhny’s death. The clip proves the opposite of this intention. The general is visibly unwell and is no longer capable of commanding the Ukrainian forces. "
SNIP
"Twenty-two hours earlier, on the evening of May 24, Rybar picked up a Ukrainian attempt to make Zaluzhny appear much healthier. In that picture, an adviser to the command staff, Alyona Shevtsova, is shown with the general. However, investigation of the details of the photograph reveals it was taken at an official press opportunity on May 2, just before Zaluzhny disappeared. "
People don’t realize its not a military counter-offensive that’s being talked about - its a media and propaganda one.
That’s the world that the US deep state and their Ukraine puppets live in.
