Ukraine's counter-offensive is a 'disaster', says former Zelensky adviser
The Telegraph via Yahoo ^ | October 15th, 2023 | James Kilner

Posted on 10/15/2023 8:36:36 AM PDT by Mariner

A former Ukrainian presidential adviser has described Kyiv’s stalled counter-offensive as a “disaster” and accused Volodymyr Zelensky of making strategic mistakes.

Oleksiy Arestovych said that Mr Zelensky and his military commanders have failed to break through Russian lines and that Ukraine now needed a new leader.

“They are not telling the truth. There will be no return to the borders of 1991, and there will be no Crimea in the near future,” he said.

Mr Arestovych resigned in January as a presidential adviser after a row over the effectiveness of Ukraine’s air defence systems.

This week, Ukrainian prosecutors opened an investigation into Mr Arestovych for comments that allegedly promote violence against women. He has denied the allegations.

And now that Russia has sat and destroyed the Ukrainian troops, they are moving forward. Almost like they are using the same play book from WWII, oh wait a cotton picking minute, they are.

It's past time for Ukraine to surrender.

Never forget about the neocon idiots that wanted this proxy war. They were and are both corrupt and stupid.

More Kremlin propaganda.

They’re paid to proliferate the Soros/Schwab/Zelensky globalist propaganda.

I heard they were sending/selling some of them weapons to Hamas. All paid for by us, of course.

...and now they will blame end of American funds and resources as the fault. We should never have been involved in the first place, not in encouraging or pushing the civil war once it started, nor propping up the regime. How many Ukrainians died because of our actions to try and dimish Russia, which has failed?

It is interesting that this article -- regarding corruption in Ukraine's government -- is published via Telegraph UK through Yahoo, dated 15 October 2023.

More than eight months has passed since "ostensibly" corruption in the Ukrainian administration has been dealt with and yet the dealing with goes on.

Previously:

Resignations rock Ukraine government amid corruption crackdown UPI, 24 January 2023

President Zelenskyy shakes up Ukraine's Cabinet amid corruption allegations NPR, 24 January 2023

Seems as if that administration is dealing as swiftly with corruption in government as is the Biden administration....< s a r c >

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

The only war expertise that Zelensky has is grifting for money and blaming an shaming.

The problem with 'protecting' one of the most corrupt counties in the world is that it's possible our weapons are being sold to the middle east. Biden's goons are NOT keeping track of the money or weapons we're giving to Ukraine - for reasons only Biden and his goons understand.

My guess is those that make the daily Update In Ukraine threads know it’s all BS.

A lot of their followers fell for it and continue to believe that Ukraine continues to win win win every day.

Why these globalist spambots weren’t zotted well over a year ago when they brought their lies and ugly personal attacks en masse on good FReepers is disgraceful. I’ve been 4 death threats from 2 of their idiots in the past month, and neither has been suspended or zotted. A lot of good folks have stopped posting and contributing altogether because of them, and why the FReepathons are never finished.

It will be glorious to remind them of the final defeat of Ukraine which is probably coming up in a year or so, but I’m sure, they’ll all just go back into hibernation mode again when that happens.
