As the Ukrainian spring bloodily transitions into summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Generals are trying to manage a stalled, if not, failed winter offensive in the Donbas that has left as many as 75,000 Russian soldiers and Wagner Group mercenaries dead. As the Kremlin’s overall casualties continue to mount, upwards of 200,000 according to the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense, it is becoming increasingly clear we are likely seeing the beginning of the end of Putin in Ukraine – especially as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his Generals draw nearer Kyiv’s much-anticipated counteroffensive.
Ukraine is a vast Texas-size country. Kyiv’s counteroffensive could come from anywhere and everywhere. Given the vast expanse of land, Russian General Valery Vasilyevich Gerasimov is facing a similar pivotal task to that of German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in World War II in defending Nazi-held France and Norway against an allied invasion of Europe. The ultimate outcome, like that of Normandy and Operation Overlord during the summer months of 1944 into fall, will likely dictate the outcome of Putin’s ‘special military operation.’
The question then becomes one of where, and how does Gerasimov set his defense: Donbas, Crimea, or elsewhere? Part and parcel to that question is also one of will Russian forces put up a fight, surrender, or simply lay down their arms and return to Russia? Thus far, the Russian military has not demonstrated a propensity to defend well. The nature of the battles waged in the Kherson Oblast in the fall last year may be a good indicator of future Russian battlefield performance in the defense – and influence when and where the point of Ukrainian attack.

“The walls are closing in!”
The pic in the middle looks like Zippy the Pinhead.
getting so boring these fake news
Hopefully someone in Russia will soon help Comrade Supreme Leader Pootin out a window.
They keep saying that. I wish it were true, but after the leaked documents...I don’t really trust the west very much on anything in Ukraine.

“Hopefully someone in Russia will soon help Comrade Supreme Leader Pootin out a window.”
Hopefully the same fate befalls little z in ukrane.
AGAIN??????????...................
My thoughts exactly.
Sometimes, repeating the same lie over & over has the opposite effective. Especially if the lie being repeated over & over never comes to pass. But I guess it offers hope for those desperately seeking that hope.
Too bad for the propagandists that the internet exists, and the government hasn't been able to seize complete control like they did with the network outlets of TV & print media.
You guys! Everyone knows he’s died 8 times in the last year. Stop the Weekend at Vladimir’s BS.
We really mean it this time.
I've heard this story before. It must be on an endless loop for slow news days.
Does anyone believe that whoever replaces him will be better?
I think this article is propaganda. The reality is Ukraine does not have the men to man the new equipment. This is a war of attrition. The Ukraine will have no more men. They will have no more infrastructure. They will not produce food or oil or an economy. Russia just has to sit back and fire.
Russia may buy a large price. But Ukraine will be destroyed. And the US will pay a trillion dollars for the CIAs little game.
Shouldn’t they at least wait for the spring offensive to start ?
I'm surprised this wasn't posted by UMCRevMom@aol.com.
Putin starts his next round of chemo tomorrow. His third round of chemo since March 5th. And Gerasimov was quoted today saying “We are waiting for when the MF will die and this BS will end.”
Doesn’t matter. These clowns are being paid to spread Ukeprop. I just wish the moderators would limit these obvious neocons to one article per day. Or maybe set up a Uketard thread like the Qtard thread where every article on the topic has to be posted there.
