This is the untold story of America’s hidden role in Ukrainian military operations against Russia’s invading armies.
On a spring morning two months after Vladimir Putin’s invading armies marched into Ukraine, a convoy of unmarked cars slid up to a Kyiv street corner and collected two middle-aged men in civilian clothes.
Leaving the city, the convoy — manned by British commandos, out of uniform but heavily armed — traveled 400 miles west to the Polish border. The crossing was seamless, on diplomatic passports. Farther on, they came to the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport, where an idling C-130 cargo plane waited.
The passengers were top Ukrainian generals. Their destination was Clay Kaserne, the headquarters of U.S. Army Europe and Africa in Wiesbaden, Germany. Their mission was to help forge what would become one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war in Ukraine.
One of the men, Lt. Gen. Mykhaylo Zabrodskyi, remembers being led up a flight of stairs to a walkway overlooking the cavernous main hall of the garrison’s Tony Bass Auditorium. Before the war, it had been a gym, used for all-hands meetings, Army band performances and Cub Scout pinewood derbies. Now General Zabrodskyi peered down on officers from coalition nations, in a warren of makeshift cubicles, organizing the first Western shipments to Ukraine of M777 artillery batteries and 155-millimeter shells.
Then he was ushered into the office of Lt. Gen. Christopher T. Donahue, commander of the 18th Airborne Corps, who proposed a partnership.
Its evolution and inner workings visible to only a small circle of American and allied officials, that partnership of intelligence, strategy, planning and technology would become the secret weapon in what the Biden administration framed as its effort to both rescue Ukraine and protect the threatened post-World War II order.

And according to this article we were not involved at all until after the invasion. And it was all some brand new idea. We planned and launched the entire thing, we weren’t reacting to something that caught us off guard.
Filthy to see the American military involved with a Nazi dominated Ukrainian Junta.
The US intelligence groups have had a presence in Ukraine since at least the fall of the Soviet Union.
Nothing happens without them.

GOP Senator Blocks Promotion Of General Who Took Part In Afghanistan Withdrawal

Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma placed a hold on the promotion of Lt. Gen. Christopher Donahue that would have elevated him to lead U.S. Army forces in Europe.
Donahue is currently a three-star general who was nominated to become a four-star general by President Joe Biden earlier this month. Donahue was one of the top military officials overseeing the disastrous withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan....
“But don’t you dare call it a proxy war!”
What’s interesting is not that the Ukrainians are essentially mercenaries for the Neocons and the Deep State - we all knew that, including the Zeepers that spent 3 years trying to gaslight us to believe otherwise.
What is interesting is that the NY Times is disclosing this information at all. I’ve thought about it for a while and I think the reason is to be able to blame Trump for Ukraine losing the war if Trump walks away...that’s about the only thing that makes sense to me.
Bummer though, Trump has spent far too much time and effort trying to work out ‘a deal’ when neither Ukraine nor the Europeans want the war to end...Trump should have walked away after a week and well before the NY Times started reporting truthfully.
On a spring morning two months after Vladimir Putin’s invading armies marched into Ukraine...
Neville Chamberlein has an appropriate quote, full of wisdom.
How horrible, fantastic, incredible, it is that we should be digging trenchesHistory has been a bit unfair to Chamberlain. But there is still much wisdom in
and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a faraway country
between people of whom we know nothing.
Expect post war analysis to explode the Ukie war cheerleaders heads….everything about Senile Joe’s and the western MSM narratives were lies.
“And who was President when this happened? And maybe more importantly, who made the decisions to allow this to happen?”
His name starts with an O!
The demented proxy puppet couldn’t have made these decisions.
” ‘If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”

Trump of all people should know - a bad deal rarely gets better.
That is a fact that most people do not want to get.
Ukraine has been occupied since it’s beginning.
The only difference between Ukrainian “Nazis” who haven’t invaded a country and Russians who did invade a country is the Russians are mass murderers.
This war has nothing to do with Nazis or Nazi ideology, and everything to do with a Russian leader wanting to get his hands on a maritime economic zone full of oil and gas.
That’s all it is.
WE? You Mean Joe Biden and his cronies
Yes! Those clever Ukrainian Nazis are hiding behind a Jewish President! /s
Add this one to the unbroken record of US military defeats since WW2, since they were running it.
And it just goes to show the absolute fiasco of the “Counter-Offensive” was a USA/NATO/General Milley operation from the start.
USA/NATO ISR, USA/NATO strategic plan, USA/NATO tactics, USA/NATO trained troops, USA/NATO equipment and weapons, USA/NATO disaster.
They observed by satellite the minefields being laid. And they sent them to their deaths regardless, without enough mine plows and no hope of success.
Typical Russian bilge that denies the Ukrainians any agency so you can pin everything on those evil Neocons! LOL
Trump has been fed a bunch of bull about Ukraine, so he has failed to understand that both sides feel capable of continuing to fight and both think they have more to gain by continuing than by ending the war.
His posturing with Zelensky has only encouraged Putin to continue, so Trump has only himself to blame, and his newly proposed secondary sanctions will have no effect.
