There are also rumors from Ukraine that Sullivan has pressed Zelensky to launch a Kherson campaign as soon as possible. Zelensky is said to have agreed to do so.
But the Ukrainian army does not want to do that - at least not now. The Russian troops in the area have been reinforced. The fields are muddy and can not be crossed by heavy vehicles. Russian artillery attacks destroy equipment pre-positioned for the attack before it is ready to come near the front line.
The Ukrainian military has for weeks tried probing attacks in the Kherson region. These had no significant results while the attacking units had high losses. The units deployed around the region have been there since early October or longer. The Military Land deployment map shows only one unit that arrived just five days ago. The 98th Azov battalion, one of the fascist volunteer forces, has been positioned in the back of 128th Mountain Assault Brigade which, in recent weeks, has had some of the most serious losses.
The use of such 'nationalist' forces to prevent the retreat of exhausted front line units has been a regular occurrence in this war.
Ukraine has for weeks had no success on the battle field. Washington wants it to show such a success so that it can tell its allies that the war can be won by the Ukrainian side. The push for an attack on Kherson is again part of the overall campaign to convince Europeans that they should sustain the efforts to arm and support Ukraine.
The campaign is misleading. Ukraine is losing the war badly. But the U.S. wants to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian - and down to the last Euro.
“ The campaign is misleading. Ukraine is losing the war badly. But the U.S. wants to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian…”
Your opinions are becoming more and more unhinged.
The mud aids Ukraine, not Russian supply lines..what little they have.
And Ukraine has said they fight to they last man for themselves, not anyone else. And so far they’ve been the honey badger that shames the old bear.
Sullivan is making overtures
Whatever that battle going on. Now
Iglibaa. (Sic)
It’s a bloodbath both sides sounds like
“Ukraine is losing the war badly.”
I suspect you are correct, but Biden, Congress, the Deep State and Military Industrial Complex desperately want to keep this war going because it’s great for business. It allows companies like Lockheed and their investors to make big bucks while allowing Biden and Congress (both “R” and “D”) and Deep State to continue their money laundering/drug dealing/illegal weapons trade unabated. Those people are making billions of $$$ from this nightmare. Heck, Joe just authorized another $800 billion in aid to Ukraine, and if you think that money is for bullets and bombs, I would very much like to sell you a bridge.
Truly evil and depraved people.
