President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on MPs to support the draft laws necessary to start negotiations on EU membership.
SOURCE: President’s evening address
QUOTE:
“Ukraine has to achieve several very specific results in the coming months. In particular, it is our strategic political goal to launch membership negotiations with the European Union.
Ukraine has seven specific recommendations from the European Commission. We have already implemented some of them. The other part requires effective work of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
Timely work, which we have agreed with the European Commission. The law on the restoration of electronic declaration, amendments to the law on national minorities, and, I would like to draw special attention to it, the law on PEPs – politically exposed persons.
Each of these laws is of fundamental importance. And voting on them will be of fundamental importance. People will see who is worth what. And I urge Ukrainian MPs not to postpone these decisions, not to let Ukraine down, and to support our European integration.”
As has been noted, the Western support is for Ukraine and anti-the putin invasion
But, your scenario is a fantastical flight of fancy! :)

Explosions occurred on Saturday, 2 September in a café where Russian officers would often relax in the occupied village of Kinski Rozdory in Polohy district, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
SOURCE: Ivan Fedorov, mayor of Melitopol, on Telegram
QUOTE:
“There were prolonged explosions last night in a café where Russian officers liked to relax in the village of Kinski Rozdory in Polohy district.
A local owner had set up a dual business in the building of a former kindergarten: he turned the main hall into a café where he fed the enemy, and he let the occupiers use a warehouse to store ammunition.
The explosions went on for over an hour and a half. The fire engulfed two Ruscists’ [Russian] Kamaz trucks and collaborators’ vehicles.”
Russia need not ‘worry’ about any Ukrainian tactics touted because too many of the Ukraine’s soldiers have been incapacitated or killed. The Ukraine cannot staff or equip it’s remaining unfortunate survivors with sufficient training and weaponry to win. Sadly, that has not stopped Zelensky from telling the remaining citizens that sooner or later, all of them will have to fight. For details, see Tucker Carlson’s interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor.
Great and probably realistic prognosis of the Youkraykneean issue outcome.

Thank you. 😊
I think the world will be better off if Russia was able to conquer Europe and Nato. We need to get out of Nato and we need to send soldiers into Ukraine to get our money back from the Ukrainian government.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred fifty seventh day of the war.
Day 557: Sep 03
Today, there is a lot of news from the south.
First of all, the Ukrainian Air Force identified and destroyed Russian forces that were deployed from Crimea to the north-western part of the Black Sea. Recently released footage shows how Russians arrived at the end point and started unloading ammunition from one of the boats when a Ukrainian assault drone operator launched a rocket and destroyed the boat with ammunition, killing almost a dozen troops in the process.
Interestingly, this time, Ukrainians used Bayraktar TB2 aerial drones, which we have not seen in a while. Previously, Ukrainians stopped using them because Russians adjusted their air defense and did not allow for extensive use. However, recently, in certain locations, the situation changed in favor of Ukrainians once again.
By the way, several days ago, Ukrainians conducted another special operation slightly south of where the Russians were destroyed today. The goal of the Ukrainian special operation was to improve control over the Black Sea. As mentioned previously, one of the ways Ukrainians achieve it is by establishing radars and surveillance systems on the oil rigs along the Crimean shore.
Some Russian analysts also speculated that Ukrainians even temporarily station or assemble their marine drones on these oil rigs and establish anti-ship missiles that are capable of striking ground targets to destroy the Russian air defense along the shore.
Russian forces are obviously actively trying to prevent Ukrainians from carrying out their plans. Usually, Russians send their fighter jets or helicopters to eliminate the threat. That is why the boats have to constantly maneuver to dodge the fire.
Unfortunately, during one such operation, one of the Ukrainian fighters fell off the speed boat when it made a sharp turn. In the heat of the fight for survival, the crew could not afford to try to dodge cluster bombs and save the fighter simultaneously. The best bet was to deal with the Russians first and then rescue the fighter.
In order to make sure that the fighter was not lost, a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone operator started tracking down the drifting fighter with thermal cameras. The fighter jet could not get close to the boat for fear of being shot down, just like the previous one, so soon, the jet ran out of ammunition without successfully hitting the boat, and the threat disappeared.
Nonetheless, the rescue mission turned out to be much more difficult than expected because Russians continued sending one fighter jet after another to hunt down the Ukrainian boat crew, so the moment the boats tried to get closer to the fighter, they were chased by the jets. The rescue operation continued for 12 hours until the Russians gave up. The fighter spent 12 hours in the middle of the Black Sea until he was eventually rescued.
The fact that the special operators managed to survive operating so close to Crimea and fighting off fighter jets while simultaneously filming everything with reconnaissance drones once again demonstrates that Ukrainians greatly improved their control over the Black Sea.
This had the biggest impact on the Russian forces in the western part of the Kherson region. As Russians here are virtually surrounded, Ukrainians are constantly destroying Russian bases on this isolated peninsula. Only in August Ukrainians destroyed two bases and multiple air defense and radiolocation systems, and over the last week, Ukrainians conducted at least 3 more successful strikes.
The target of the first HIMARS strike became a Russian base in Sadove. The target of the second strike became yet another air defense system. And the third target became one of the most advanced and expensive radar systems Predel-E, which costs almost a quarter of a billion dollars, and an electronic warfare system Layer-2. By the way, this is exactly where the Ukrainians destroyed the Russian boat today from a Bayraktar.
Based on such geolocated videos, it seems like Ukrainians gained complete freedom of movement in the air above the western part of the Kherson region and, by extension, the western shore of Crimea, despite the best Russian efforts to prevent it.
Recently released footage shows how Russians saw one Ukrainian reconnaissance drone and sent 2 helicopters to chase it and shoot it down. The helicopters even bumped several times into the drone but never managed to shoot it down. After a long chase, the drone operator managed to escape and return the drone basically intact.

She got her hair done. LOL
Ukraine is not getting enough in what they need to beat Russia. If we're serious, we'll stop making EVs in Detroit, we'll mass produce tanks, drones, aircraft, ammunition, everything Ukraine needs.
But it's a slow go so who benefits from it? The Military–industrial complex.
...Russian long-range surveillance facilities in Kharkiv...
In Kharkiv???
Actually.. let’s pray (and with weapons and ammunition, just in case) for the Kremlin aliens to stop invading sovereign countries allied to America!
Conquering is done with resources in this century. They have the oil. Europe doesn’t. They certainly have the natgas, and Europe doesn’t.
The day will come when they inform Europe they don’t need any more pieces of paper with ink printed on them, created via quantitative ease from the Fed and from the ECB. They will prefer some other payment, rather than whimsically printed pieces of paper.
Russia has no reason to read that piece of paper from the US that has printed on it the words this is legal tender for all debts public and private. Why should they pay any attention to those words?
They have all that surface area. Their oil and gas will run out last. If you want it you’ll have to pay for it and they won’t accept payment in anything perhaps other than calories or joules.
Money has been exposed by QE as something with value only in the imagination of counter-parties. In contrast to the joules in a barrel of crude that refines to the diesel that powers tractors that plant food.
