Ukraine’s soldiers ‘in deep defense mode’ as uncertainty lingers over commander-in-chief
CNN ^ | 2/3/24 | Andrew Carey

CNN — As the President’s Office remained stum for another day over whether or not Ukraine’s commander-in-chief was out of a job, one of the men tipped possibly to replace him gave a short but clear-eyed assessment of the situation facing soldiers on the front line.

Visiting troops near the town of Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region, Oleksandr Syrskyi, wrote on his Telegram channel, “The operational situation remains tense. Heavy fighting is taking place along all sectors of the frontline.”

Syrskyi made no reference to reports that President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to announce the dismissal of army chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi over disagreements about what Ukraine should do to win the war following the failure of the counteroffensive.

But Syrskyi did nod to the highly charged issue of troop numbers, and Russia’s advantage in that area, when he wrote, “The enemy continues to conduct high-intensity assault operations and is constantly bringing in new reserves.”

How long before NATO troops, likely Polish, start manning stations in far western Ukraine near the border to free up Ukrainian soldiers to be moved to the front lines?

They could start by manning border stations

Drip drip drip …

What is your conclusion from these numbers? They are already bankrupt and just funneling NATO (US) dollars through the infrastructure? Or do you see something else? Is there any silver left in the lining in your opinion?

It’s good to hear some reality from the Ukraine military. Might save some lives going forward.

The lies can stop.

It is over, done.

WEF (Fascist) fails again.

And they bled the USA into almost certain financial collapse.

Your graph is factually wrong

GDP PC (per capita) = $182 B / 44 M = $4136 / person (2012)

GDP PC = $132 B / 28 M = $4714 / person (2024)

So GDP per person has actually gone **UP 14%** under Zelensky!

No wonder they threw out that loser Yanukovich!!

(BTW, if you post incorrect stuff like this, it makes us wonder how much more of your postings are lies also)

The fellow on the left needs to be labeled “Russian puppet”.

Alternatively: “ mass murderer”, “Chekist”, “fraudster”, “traitor”, “fugitive”, “corruptocrat”, etc.

All of these are well-documented, unlike the the fellow on the right. But who cares about evidence, right Vatnik? So long as Putin stronk like bull as he strangles a nation.

War time economy proped by a massive infusion of western aid. Thier GDP is useless as a metric.

Also just last December Ukrane was supposedly throwing Russia out! I can not keep up with all the media lies anymore.

Yanukovich was, and is, a crook and on Putin's payroll.

Inside Yanukovych’s opulent private mansion

Yanukovich is also a coward who took Putin's ride and not the ammo...

Ukraine's President Voted Out, Flees Kiev

And then he was indicted and convicted of treason...

Ukraine's ex-president Viktor Yanukovych found guilty of treason

...but you already know all that, which makes your post(s) so dishonest.
