Ukraine: the situation (June 27, 2022)
Asia Times ^

Assessment The fight for Lysychansk is unfolding much more rapidly in Russia’s favor than did the exceedingly slow grind at Severodonetsk.

Another slow-grind siege will play heavily into Russia’s hands. The UGS needs to find a way to regain some mobility and initiative and reopen supply lines or pull out troops, collapse the salient and withdraw to a more defensible perimeter.

Hopes that the arrival of new weapons will turn the tide are misplaced. The arrival of such arms might allow for a counteroffensive from a stronger line of defense rather than simply leading to another defeat and loss of morale if or when the new weapons are introduced haphazardly.

But talk of ending the war by winter with Ukrainian forces emerging victorious and having regained the ground now lost seems a stretch by any count. That Zelensky talks that talk is understandable but is hardly realistic.

Contrary to such talk and the pinning of expectations on the arrival of “game-changer” weapons systems from the West, massive losses of manpower, including their best soldiers, is the Ukrainians’ principal battlefield issue.

He’s just a tool, like Biden. Globos want a WWIII. THIS time, the 4th Reich plans on coming in as the world savior, just like the US did the last time.

I read recently that Schwab expects to receive a Nobel for his reordering of the business /corporate world ala his *stakeholder* strategy. He’s already 83, so it may be posthumous if the globos win.

...poll found that 90 percent of residents supported him, which represents a jump of about 40 points compared to another poll released earlier in February.

This amazing change comes after Zelensky nationalized all the media?

Zelensky approval was in the 30's before Putin's invasion, now its in the 90's. Normal jump, people tend to rally around the leader and flag after external attack. As to nationalized all media, that was Putin's Russia.

Ukrainian people are more religious than Russians, by any measure such as church attendance, etc. Not surprising since the Russian Orthodox Church is an arm of the Russian state.

Reality, what a concept. Every poll taken shows the same high level of support for Zelensky.

Civil Society

Diversity, Inclusion

But, yeah, they are *Republican*, just like our domestic Assistant Democrats call themselves *republican*.

Ukraine is corrupt. NATO is corrupt. The US government is corrupt. The News Media is corrupt.

This poll is worthless.

But go ahead and believe whatever, even 6 impossible things before breakfast. I don’t care.
