Tide Turning? Boris Johnson Warns Russians Making ‘Palpable Progress’ in Donbas
Breitbart ^ | 05/28/2022 | Jack Montgomery

Posted on 05/28/2022 8:23:31 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned that Russian forces are now making “palpable progress” in eastern Ukraine, saying Ukrainian forces need long-range rocket launchers and other military hardware.

Britain’s defence ministry said on Friday that Moscow’s troops have recently captured several villages as they attempt to surround Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk in the eastern Donbas region, but do not yet have full control of the region.

“But but we gave them billions! 🙄”

That’s only a small part of the story. The real story is the outlandish fairytale stories we have been told by our government and media of Russia bad — Ukraine good and that Russia is a third world country that can’t swat a fly without screwing it up.

Sound familiar?
-Trump colluded with Russia
-Hunter’s laptop is Russian misinformation
-Shut down the economy for two weeks to flatten the curve
-The vaccines are totally safe and 100% effective
-Get the vax and you will not get sick and you will be fully protected

Lies upon lies. Not just little lies but VERY BIG LIES!

What great leaders we have there!

Some interesting posts on WarDonbass that provide additional insight.

https://t.me/s/WarDonbass/64909

WarDonbass. War in Donbass. Special Operation Z in Ukraine
Ukrainian sources report that Zaluzhny now communicates directly with the Pentagon, receiving orders directly from there. Such a scheme was adopted because of the situation on the eastern front, in order to speed up the process of making and implementing decisions as much as possible, removing all additional elements from it. It is symptomatic that Zelensky’s office turned out to be an “additional element” that slows down the speed of commanding Ukrainian formations from across the ocean. @WarDonbass

Direct contact between Zaluzhny and the Pentagon (without the mediation of the Ze-office) has already been overshadowed by the first disagreements. Thus, according to Ukrainian sources, the General Staff insists on the urgent creation of a new defensive line Slavyansk-Kramatorsk-Druzhkovka-Konstantinovka-Toretsk, where the cities will become like fortresses that support each other, blocking the approaches to them with artillery fire, which will narrow the front line, as well as hinder the tactics of “small boilers”. However, the Pentagon insists on the withdrawal of the main forces and artillery to the second defense line Kharkov-Dnepropetrovsk-Zaporozhye-Nikolaev, without a long delay at intermediate lines, since it is much more prepared for defense, and the planned retreat will preserve heavy weapons and combat-ready units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Strictly speaking, there is no time to create the “Zaluzhny line”. The “second line” as a single defensive system will not work either - there are no forces for this. Most likely, we will talk about separate pockets of resistance in each particular metropolis.@WarDonbass

For the first time since the beginning of the Ukrainian unrest, the Armed Forces of Ukraine become not just a political factor, but a participant in the political process in Ukraine. The disagreement between the Ze-office and the General Staff leads to the fact that the latter turns into a “crystallization center” for those who are dissatisfied with the clown and his team. The situation in terms of the course towards the destruction of the political opposition taken on Bankovaya is quite expected. Thus, in disagreements between the political and military headquarters of the regime, when one proposes “defending cities to the last Ukrainian”, and the second - “saving the army at the cost of territories”, the still active opposition LOMs begin to play on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, unambiguously making it clear that since the time is military, military and need to take full responsibility for what is happening in the country. So,@WarDonbass

WarDonbass. War in Donbass. Special Operation Z in Ukraine
The Ze-team has already realized the threat of the emergence of an alternative “center of power” in the face of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and is already taking measures. The arsenal of means at its disposal is not rich: lies and repression. And the author of the scandalous shooting bill, Maryana Bezuglaya, a people’s deputy from the Servant of the People, is already demanding to deal with the editor-in-chief of the Censor website, Yuri Butusov, who spoke in support of Zaluzhny’s position. The frantic Maryana accuses him, of course, of “zrada” and “working for the Kremlin.” According to the deputy, he “constantly, with impunity, sets out tons of information about our military, positions, operational situation, shakes, disorients and plays along with Russia.” The situation for the Ze-team ceases to be comfortable.The showdown of the Ukrainian command with all the dissatisfied in the ukrovoysk, and these are the majority. There aren’t enough prisons for everyone. @WarDonbass

My spies reported that today the clown Zelensky was holding an emergency meeting with his entire party in his drug den. He set the task to urgently appoint those responsible for all the troubles at the front and initiate criminal cases. Guilty should be any generals, but not less than four and except for Zaluzhny. According to Zalugny, he said it was not yet time. But as far as I know, the little clown wants to act more harshly with Zaluzhny, but so far he can’t decide.

Ukrainian generals understand the ongoing circus led by a crazy clown and begin to consider the option of eliminating Zelensky with the help of the “Russian” DRG. According to my information, someone from Zelensky’s close circle is in cahoots with the generals. Probably the one who will take Vovchik’s chair. We are waiting for very interesting events, abruptly than in the Game of Thrones.
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...WarDonbass. War in Donbass. Special Operation Z in Ukraine

The United States plans to send another military aid to Ukraine. The package will include advanced long-range missile systems. However, experts believe that the Americans will not keep their promises. Loud statements are designed for EU countries.

The United States may transfer MLRS to Ukraine The
United States is preparing to send long-range missile systems to Ukraine, including HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems. Officially, the administration of President Joe Biden will announce the deliveries next week.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly asked to provide the country with powerful weapons with a range of up to 300 kilometers for shooting at ground targets. Previously, the United States feared that their weapons would be used for strikes on Russian territory.

The American authorities warned the Ukrainians that an attack on Russia would escalate the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke about the same. However, the Ukrainian side assured that it has a sufficient number of targets within Ukraine.

The leadership of Ukraine is overseas

Expert of the Center for Military-Political Journalism Vladimir Orlov, in an interview with 360, noted that the maximum powers of today’s Ukrainian political authorities are speeches at various events.

“Everything else is run by other people. In particular, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including territorial defense battalions and nationalist formations, are led directly from the United States of America,” Orlov explained.

He noted that Russia in Ukraine opposes the collective West. It is he who controls the APU, which act as consumables. Volodymyr Zelensky cannot issue an order to any of the units - he does not have the authority to command the army at all, nothing or anyone else, except for his adviser Alexei Arestovich.

“The Americans are supplying new weapons because they understand strategy very well. They need new weapons systems in order to further drag out this conflict, ”the expert said.

He stressed that even if the declared weapons of the United States of America appear in Ukraine, they will not be able to influence the course of Russia’s special operation.

Constructors of war

According to the expert, the United States already roughly understands Russia’s capabilities and, based on these data, is constructing a conflict, trying to drag it out for five to seven years. To do this, the Americans will introduce some new weapons systems, including those that they previously promised not to use.

“The only opportunity for the Russian Federation now to break this paradigm is to at least start destroying those Pentagon and EU coordinating centers that are located on the territory of Ukraine. This has an even higher priority,” Orlov said.

He clarified that almost all military formations, units of nationalists, Nazis, territorial defense are closed on some kind of curators, political actors who are on the territory of Ukraine.

“The destruction of these decision-making coordination centers will lead to the disorganization of a whole range of those formations that are on the side of Ukraine. Perhaps such a liquidation will lead to the fact that some units will simply automatically surrender, some regions will automatically fall off from Ukraine, ”the expert explained. https://soldier-moskva.livejournal.com/566165.html

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson suggested that Zelensky create an alliance against Russia, Corriere Della Sera writes, citing sources.

According to the newspaper, London proposes to unite countries dissatisfied with the policy of Brussels and Germany’s actions against Moscow into a “new political, economic and military alliance” that will become an alternative to the EU. In addition to the UK and Ukraine, it may include Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Turkey.

It is specified that Kyiv has not yet begun to express a position on the proposal of the British leader.

Peskov commented on the allegations about Johnson’s idea to create a military alliance with Ukraine: we treat it as a media report, but if this is so, this is a cabal and undermining the positions of the EU, which Britain itself left.

Tough call. Russia taking ground is bad, but Ukraine is such a corrupt cesspool that needs cleansing.

Interesting RUMINT amplifies hints by other analysts of what is to come, politically, when the Russian win in the Donbass War leads to a collapse of the Ukrainian army in the East.

Also that political and military in disagreement with Zelensky’s agenda ( controlled by DC) are being targeted for detention…or worse…by an SBU that has a record of eliminating opposition …hence former President Poroshenko’s effort to escape to Poland (he is being detained)

The next week or 2 should be critical in the fate of an estimated 15,000 Uke troops being cutoff from either being resupplied or retreating ….and possibly in the longevity of the Z regime

Lot’s of tension going on on many fronts. That usually happens when things start falling apart.

The NATO “alliance” is crumbling. In the recent Ramstein alliance meeting (47 participants) only 20 made any offers of additional aid to Ukraine...Germany and Italy offered nothing. BoJo trying to reformulate the alliance with more willing participants.

🇩🇪🇺🇦⚡Germany cannot fulfill all of Ukraine’s arms requests, - Vice Chancellor of Germany

Robert Habek told Welt am Sonntag that the demands on Germany for the transfer of weapons are too high and not all feasible, and this “creates a certain tension.”

Intel Slava Z
🇺🇦❗Ukrainian guys do not want to become officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kyiv completely failed the recruitment campaign for cadets in higher military educational institutions.

By the end of May, military universities received a document from only 5% of previously selected candidates.

Personally from everything I have read Zelensky does not intend to stay in Ukraine (new British passports already issued to his family and associates.)

Guess you can never have enough escape routes...:-)

“The kyiv authorities demand that Western powers provide security guarantees to Ukraine for the future. As for the country, it is not yet clear, but Vladimir Zelensky seems to have already secured his own security. According to former Verkhovna Rada MP Ilya Kiva on his Telegram channel, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson allegedly discreetly handed UK passports to the president, his wife and his children. Then, if he suddenly has to take his feet off the square, the entire first family can quickly retrain as his majesty’s subjects.

“Now you, my compatriots, will be buried with double zeal,” Kiva turned to the Ukrainians. – A successful business project for the actors of the 95th quarter: in three years they became dollar billionaires and received citizenship of the desired country! And for you – a destroyed country, tens of thousands of corpses and a syphilitic dad – Flag!!!

The former deputy added that the head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, his adviser Mykhailo Podolyak and members of their families were also given the opportunity to cross the English Channel. In addition, at the moment, “double English lev” passports are issued to a number of high-ranking employees of the General Staff of Ukraine and the SBU.”

The biggest advantage of a Russian victory to Americans (though not for our Deep State government) is that it will kill “the new world order.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRoV5OJyj2E (Every American should watch this)

Robert Barnes: The biggest loser in this Russian Ukraine conflict has been the globalist visions of George Soros and his like crowd. Because a lot things aren’t...global digital currency ain’t coming any time soon. Global WHO control over pandemics they can try as much as they want legally, politically probably ain’t coming any time soon and this is all because they misread Vladimir Putin and Russia frankly. That’s what it boils down to.

Alexander: Going back to globalization and the issue of globalization I saw that there was a whole group of business leaders who came along to Davos WEF and all that “World Economic forum”...I’ll never forget that is what it calls itself and globalization in a way was conceived there back in the 60s. Anyway a lot of business leaders came along and they said globalization is dead. It’s just been killed. You yourselves killed it. Your sanctions in fact destroyed it because what they did is they created this new structure, these new systems and in fact I was reading again in the Telegraph somebody actually saying at Davos now that we have all these countries around the world they’re saying, “well if you pose sanctions like that on the Russians you can do the same to us so we are all now working to find alternative routes.”

So globalization is finished and Vladimir Putin he played his role and it was a big one. But, the bizarre thing about this is that the initiative to do all this thing that brought the temple down, if you like on everybody’s head, the temple of globalization crashing down, it was done by the very advocates of globalization themselves because they misread the Russian economy...they weren’t listening to Robert Barnes who could have pointed out to them the Russians have all the oil and energy and food so they will be all right. They can survive the siege. They didn’t listen, they went ahead. They thought that this “one dimensional economy the size of Paraguay” or whatever it is that they say would come crashing down like a house of cards. And now they’ve discovered they were completely wrong and what is crashing down like a house of cards is the whole structure of globalization that they spent the last 70 years creating.

And as I say it is one of the great paradoxes and ironies of history that they have done it themselves to themselves.

Robert Barnes: And just like Napoleon and the Nazi’s they forgot not to poke the Russian bear.

Never poke the bear and now they’re trying to poke the dragon.
