Western intelligence agencies predict more losses of territory for Ukraine by the end of the year – Welt
Euromaidan Press ^ | 25/05/2024 | BY MARIA TRIL

According to a media report by Welt, current intelligence reports warn of “larger” territorial losses due to Russian superiority by the end of the year. The assessment states that the “overall picture” for Ukraine is “darkening” due to Russian dominance.

MP Ralf Stegner, a committee member, said the intelligence assessment is “essentially accurate” and aligns “with what I know.” The report expects Ukraine will not “regain the initiative” in 2024 and will likely suffer “significantly larger territorial losses” than since January.

It cites Russia’s “significantly” stronger artillery deployment and ability to “more than compensate” for losses, while Kyiv cannot recruit enough new soldiers to “offset losses and form reserves.” New mobilization rules will only take effect “late summer” due to training requirements.

The anticipated losses stem from Ukraine’s “defensive posture and associated delaying actions” as it seeks to “conserve personnel” and buy “time through ceding territory” to rebuild its military-industrial complex. However, Russian air strikes could become “problematic” for this effort.

Stegner disagreed with “hardliners” claiming more weapons are needed to prevent defeat, saying last year’s failed offensive showed “you can and must prevent Ukraine from losing, but not achieve victory.” Constantly demanding faster or greater weapons deliveries is chasing “illusions,” he argued, likening it to “increasing the dose when the medicine doesn’t work” being “unconvincing.”

Now even Western intelligence is admitting what the moronic Zeepers here refuse to -- that by continuing this war Ukraine can only lose more territory and lives.

But, the Lindsey Grahams of the Republican party, Mike Johnson and the Biden regime couldn't give a damn how many Ukrainians die, how much more territory Ukraine loses or even if it exists after the war is over. All they care about is laundering money and killing Russians.

Will the Zeepers accept the fact after the Ukes suddenly identify as French surrender monkeys with white flag in hand?

Well, maybe it's just best to get rid of Ukraine and Uke Nazis all together.

It would show the world that something CAN be done about these Prog Leftist sore spots on the planet.

“Western intelligence agencies predict more losses of territory for Ukraine by the end of the year – Welt”

The US spends something like $100 BILLION on these agencies and this is the BEST they can do (when they’re not trying to frame Trump)? Crap, this was OBVIOUS on a number of YouTube Channels (MSC, DPA, WU, Duran, for starters) for well over ONE YEAR.

They’re cheap. An American moved there and has been making videos about it. About 1.49 euros for a flat.

That doesn’t matter silly

Did you also know that there is an increase of possible civilian aircraft issues over in Russia because spare parts have been diverted to the military

And I bet you didn’t know that the Russian space program is falling behind schedule !!!

(These are all topics of Newsweek articles published over the
months by the Zeepers to convince us Russia is losing)

I can't believe these people get paid for these predictions. I would have told them the same thing for free. I'm sure we will hear the same cheerleaders throwing the three days to Kiev false narrative around. Just like the fake narrative about Ukraine stopping Russia in the North. Ukraine didn't stop anything, Russia stopped after forcing Ukraine to redeploy troops they desperately need elsewhere. The truth is Biden and his idiot advisors have destroyed Ukraine and lost the proxy war. The only question is how much more territory will Ukraine lose and how many more Ukrainians will die? Who would be dumb enough to risk their people and their country because they trust Joe The Joke Biden? Oh yeah, Zelensky.

Donetsk and Lugansk have absolutely been liberated from a Ukrainian nationalist government that came to power illegal against the wishes for those in those oblasts.

Russia would be happy to end the war so long as attacks cease on its territory and so long as Ukraine, as its constitution mandates, remains a neutral country.

If not, Ukraine will continue to lose lives and territory.

So, you don't even believe the Western intelligence officials quoted in this article?

If not, you're stupid or lying. But, that isn't a surprise to anyone that looks this failed proxy war objectively.

War is extra legal when laws broken can only be reconciled by force. Ukraine is going yo die a painfully horrible death. Eleven thousand dead Ukrainian soldiers in 7 days. One hundred cities and hamlets will also fall because de further Zenlinski pulled all the reserves in south/east fronts to save the feint against Karkiev. Ukraine has lost 34k KIA in May alone.

You present a speculative article as “fact”. What is an objective observer to think?
