UKRAINE’S generals warned they have run out of reserves to halt Russia’s shock assault on Kharkiv.
It comes as Vladimir Putin masses more than half a million troops on the frontline in a bid to overpower Ukraine's forces.
Ukraine's military has admitted it is struggling to contain the advance in the north east of the country.
General Kyrylo Budanov, boss of Kyiv’s military intelligence said: “I’ve used everything we have.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have anyone else in the reserves.”
Putin’s troops have seized miles of ground in their fastest advances in months.

Actually, I am waiting for him to come to our door as the perennial trick-or-treater, demanding another $100 Billion dollars.
Zelenskyy is well aware that Slow Joe’s time in office is ending soon, and that the American cash cow is about to melt like one of President Magoo’s ice cream cones.
Sorry, ZelEnskYy, but in 6 short months we will elect a president who will spend American taxpayer dollars on...get this...AMERICAN CITIZENS”!!
Go knock on Great Britain’s door. Or France’s. Or Germany’s. Or Poland’s. We’re all tapped out, pal. Your 15 minutes are up.
NATO troops will just surrender in the Baltics. We don't have the will to use our nuclear weapons. Putin knows that.
The “free world” overthrew their last democratically elected leader because the CIA didn’t like him.

Ukraine is out of soldiers and munitions.
It takes time for the US to mobilize the transfer of weapons and it's easier to interdict the new weapons then encounter them on the battlefield.
It ‘s pretty obvious that no one in the Ukraine, Washington or NATO is interested in negotiating an end to their personal perpetual proxy war so the only way for Putin to end this thing is to roll up in Kiev and be in a position to dictate terms.
Gonna cost a couple hundred thousand more casualties on both sides but such a deal to kill Russians and deplete their military reserves.- just ask Sen Mark Warner and Sen Lindsey Graham. Killing Russians has never been so cheap or easy and the economic stimulus to the US economy is going to be critical to float the economy until after Biden is re elected.
These people are sick puppies.
. Worst of all, Russia entered this war as an unprepared military riddled with corruption and incompetence. Their military spending was at an all time low and most of their development programs were token efforts to keep them in the game technologically but with minimal production.
Ukraine exposed the weaknesses in the Russian military and we will soon be facing a rearming, rebuilding and reformed Russian military that is far more prepared and competent than the one we faced 3 years ago.
So any arguments that we have degraded or weakened the Russian military is not necessarily the case and our stated intent of reducing the Russian military threat may have back fired on us in an epic fashion.
Zelensky must hold on until the election in November. Put another Ukrainian on the barbie.
Should have kept their Nuclear Weapons or just a few
The weapons were never the property of Ukraine. All the control systems were in Russia. Ukraine never had the launch codes. The ballistic missiles had a minimum targeting range of 5,000 km. Ukraine lacked funding or ability for maintenance.
The United States and Russia joined in demanding Ukraine become a party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a non-nuclear nation before they would grant recognition to Ukraine. Ukraine needed recognition.
Do they really want to have to deal with all the Muslims living in and soon to be running Western Europe?
Funny, Vicki Nuland is no where to be found and Blinken is busy playing the base guitar. But yeah, these guys did so well in Afghanistan. Unbelievable how much they have traded ugly hubris for competency.
I would not bet on that.
Outside the russophile bots here, reality is that Russia’s strategic aims are to control the buffer states again, and the EU NATO states will not allow that to happen.
With the low birth rates of the last 40 years, who runs out of cannon fodder first?
I suspect the plan was for the slavic civil war in Ukraine to suck up the Russian military that they won’t have the meat to push into Poland. And Poland is NATO.
Ukraine better have the groundwork for their insurgency ready to roll....
That may not work well where insurgency is met by artillery.
Poland is also where President Trump relocated V Corps European headquarters when he reactivated it.
“Last year, President Andrzej Duda and President Donald Trump signed two declarations that strengthen the US military presence in Poland, but also that determine the endured presence of US troops in Poland. This word is crucial, because the point is that US troops will be permanently in Poland, not only occasionally.”

And So it ends...

They were never theirs, they were designed, built and maintained by Soviet Russia. The Disarmament Agreement realized the Ukies had neither the knowledge or money to maintain or destroy them.
The US paid alot of $$$$$$ to dismantle them in 1992.
For some odd, unknown reason, the collective West will insure this conflict will not end until “ the Last Ukrainian “ ( as stated many times).
Much talk about the US double cross- depleting Ukie population then allowing Poland, Romania and Hungary reclaim their portions of the rump nation…it appears to be starting to make sense.
Poland is also where President Trump relocated V Corps European headquarters when he reactivated it.
————-
Enough troops for Poland to reclaim their historic land after “ The Last Ukrainian “ dies off or exiled. It is no secret the Poles are not happy with all the Ukie refugees in their country, and there is much footage of Polish authorities now deporting Ukie males back to Ukraine.
What was once a “ rumor” that Ukraine West of the Dniepner will be carved up, now seems plausible.
But I thought Ukraine was winning.
No forgiveness is needed for a people fighting against invasion. Nor will it be granted by the invaders. “Blood debts” need to be paid to the victors.
Like what happened in Cambodia during the Killing Fields, or in Hue City where the NVA slaughtered 5,000 captive Vietnamese civilians, or in Buccha at the start of this war were over 600 Ukrainian civilians were murdered by Russian troops.
If you’ve got an hour or two to spare, read “country by country” the mind-boggling
astonishingly long list of armaments, ammo, tanks, aircraft, etc, sent to Ukraine.
Sure delta, stay with your crazy ideas about everything, Trump didn’t station our troops in Poland because he thought Poland was going to invade Ukraine and he wanted Americans help them do it.
