Ukraine’s battered and beaten military is more degraded now than when Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu explained its dismal state weeks earlier.
Over 50,000 of its forces were killed or wounded, thousands more captured.
Many others deserted their units.
Ukraine’s so-called air force and navy no longer exist.
Russian forces control Ukraine’s airspace and coastal waters.
The morale of its largely conscript military crumbled from poor training, weeks of battering and exhaustion on the frontlines.
Shoigu also warned that Russian forces will respond appropriately to US/Western weapons crossing into Ukraine.
As “legitimate targets,” they’ll be destroyed, including individuals attempting to deliver them to Ukrainian forces.
On April 26, journalist Daphne Rousseau reported the following:
“After two months under (relentless) Russian fire, (it’s) hard to sustain optimism,” adding:
Ukrainian “losses have been high” after the early stage of the battle for Donbass.
“When asked about casualties, one (Ukrainian) soldier…br(oke) down in tears.”
“His unit (was) very badly hit,” said Rousseau.
On Sunday, she said the following:
“Exhausted Ukrainian soldiers return(ed) from the eastern front.”
Soldiers in Ukraine’s 81st brigade “walked 12 kilometers” for lack of armored vehicles or enough trucks to transport them.
The casual count is unrevealed.
Many Ukrainian survivors of Russia’s offensive are “injured…have somatic problems…and worsened…illnesses.”
Many have “trench foot (from) prolonged exposure to moisture, unsanitary conditions or the cold.”
“For a month, they (were) not able to dry their shoes…so there are many feet-related injuries, mainly fungi and infections,” according to a Ukrainian doctor.
Many are greatly affected by “physical and psychological injuries.”
On May, 2 Rousseau quoted a Ukrainian soldier, saying:
Russian forces “shell so much…(B)ombs land everywhere.”
“A railway bridge that spans the Donets river on the way to Sloviansk was destroyed last week by a Russian rocket.”
Two train cars of goods plunged into the gray waters of the Donets river due to the attack.”
“A road bridge running parallel was partially destroyed Monday evening.”
Up against vastly superior Russian forces with state-of the-art weapons, Ukraine’s military continues to be greatly degraded.
Demilitarizing it and deNazifying Ukraine is just a matter of time.
While US/Western regimes, their MSM press agents and puppet Zelensky maintain the illusion of being able to effectively counter Russian forces with increased supplies of weapons, munitions and equipment, reality on the frontlines tells a far different story.
Ukraine’s largely conscript military is significantly degraded and beaten.
The outcome of Russia’s SMO was clear before begun.
A collective US/Western brave face is increasingly hard-pressed to conceal reality on the ground.
The longer Russia’s SMO continues, the more battered and demoralized Ukraine’s military becomes.
Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov, Sergey Shoigu and other Russian officials are right.
Moscow will achieve its publicly stated goals to demilitarize and deNazify Ukraine, along with liberating Donbass entirely from the scourge of Nazified occupation and 8 years of aggression by Kiev.
When the above aims are accomplished, Russia’s security will be more greatly enhanced by ending US/NATO’s proxy war along its borders.
At the same time, the menace posed by the collective West remains.
Longstanding US plans call for regime change in Russia and other sovereign independent countries.
Where hegemon USA goes, Western vassal states follow.
With or without use of Ukraine as a platform for perpetual US proxy war on Russia, both right wings of its war party pose an unparalleled threat to everyone everywhere.
Russia, China, Iran and other nations free from US control know its rage for dominance could be unleashed full force at any time for invented reasons.
It’s why the threat of global war 3.0 is not only real, it may have already begun.

Breaking News..
I think the Russians caught the Canadian General
He trying to escape during the Cease Fire.
Meme said they arrested him and taking him to Moscow
To stand trial as he ran the
Bio Weapons Lab #102.
To be covered by 360 Television
Excellent.
Fabulous.
My only question is why it isn’t on RT or Sputnik..?
That seems odd.
Don’t tell me Russia doesn’t want to embarrass their colleagues in the West..?
LOL
I doubt that.
He’s the Smoking Gun.
Another Nuremberg

Oh Fabulous..!

Just ate dinner and surfed the Nazi News Channels.
Nothing on the
Canadian General..
Not that I would expect them to publicize that..
Nothing on Rat or Sputnik either
But as I recall
It wasn’t a meme..
It was an Article.
HAD A PICTURE OF HIM
In the custody of
Russian Soldiers ..
Handcuffed.
Looked real as rain.
So we’ll see.
I might add..
CNN was saying on May 9
Putin will announce
Russia’s Annexation of the Two Republics..into the Federation
And Secondly
Russia will Declare War on the Ukraine.
Good ..
cuz that’s exactly what it is.
Actually a War against Ukraine
And all of Imperialism..
Exactly like the Bolsheviks faced in 1918..
No difference.
The Same Nazis as WWII
Except name changed
FOURTH REICH
NEW PACKAGING
And the Jews switched sides &
Are fighting with the Nazis now.
In fact , like in Palestine
They are the Nazis.
=================
Now to the Point:
The Military Campaign:
Most important item
Critical Item
Worth Hammering home
Distilled by squeezing the juice
From a 100s hours of
Nazi Television…
Ready..
“British Intel is saying Repeatedly
The that Russia’s..
“BIG OFFENSIVE
WILL START WITHIN 72 HRS!”
Hahaha
Literally begging the Russians to attack their Fortress Europa
The Seigfried Line..
And once again
Oxford monkeys
Tell us that Putin needs to have something to show on May 9
Don’t have to be stupid to work
For MI 6…
But it sure helps..!
LOL
The Nazis are getting tired of being bombed
Want to get the Party going.
Apparently,
British Intel now directing
Russian Army Advances..
LOL
Herein is the beauty of what the Russians are doing..
Better said, not doing
Attacking a hornets nest
Why attack
An 8 yrs of CIA construction
A Labyrinth to rival Daedylus
Let the Nazis come to you
Come out in the open and get bombed.
Do that for a month
Two months..
Three months..
“Here, there and everywhere”
2)… AEROSPACE is Poppin all my sites.
“Justa Lightin up baby
Like a jitterbug in Biloxi..!”
3)…Not giving the Nazi
Long Line Formations to hit
4)..Russia has gone to battalion groups fighting in Composite
Less Rigid
More flexible
Better Command and Control.
5)… However Communications hamper the Russians
Still a problem..
Be certain
US Intel Satellites Fuxin em
The problem will never be resolved until Russia goes to Quantum Long Range Radio
I call it “Chinese Radio”
They have it.
You need it.
Unbreakable.
What’s new for tomorrow
Is in China today.
Last stroke..
Russia is like a Brick Wall
That’s all you need to know.
=========
Long View..
The Nazis plan to extend this
Harassment of Russia
For a Decade..or more.
It’s the Nazi Plan
They are planning to drop a Tactical Nuke on Russia
As a Retailation for the
False Flag the Human Trash
Are planning to execute to blame Russia.
There is no Crime ever invented by mortal man
Anywhere on Earth
At any time in History
That can rival the Filth of the New Nazis that stink up the World from the Fourth Reich.
See where Van der Lies
And the FM of Slovakia
Gave the Hitler Heart Signal?
These are real Nazis..
Born Nazi babies
Like the Boys from Brazil
The Nazi Bitches from Bavaria.
GO RUSSIA
TO TOTAL VICTORY..!

May 5 here.
Have you noticed that all the Women “Hostages ” coming out of Azovstol Steel Mill..
Are young ..
In their 30s
And extremely attractive..
Isn’t that odd..
Moreover..
They seem extremely healthy
And well nourished.
No sense of Confusion nor Stress..
No apparent Trauma.
Particularly among the children
Who wouldn’t be able to navigate thru trauma so easily.
Curiously..
The Nazis sure knew what they were doing when they took these select “Hostages!”
Yo Comrade Tovarish
You better check again..
These are the Nazi Collaborators..
Probably wives and girlfriends.

Actually it’s Wednesday
I think it’s the 4th.
Here’s why I write..
Speaking with
General Vasilevsky
That Brilliant General
I’m not so sure you shouldn’t take Odesa first.
I’m in Left Field.
Without tipping my hand..
And some other considerations the General brought up .
No I’m completely indifferent yo which you pop next..
No idea.
Completely 50 50..
Only you know.
Good good.
The General did say
Something completely
Uniquely learned. .
And based on battle tested experience…
The playbook for the Werhmact
Generally..
Was to immediately Counter attack the City..they just lost..
Is there any Intel suggesting a
massing of troops that appear to be blocking Path to Kharkov
But are ready to strike behind
The advancing Russian Army
As they move North.
General Vasilevsky said that was the classic hook and ladder play.
Also..in case they do..
You’ll know Right Away
Got some Startegic Reserve
Back there to block
the Landbridge
off from any marauders..
Heading South to Sebastopol.
Crazy…
But these are desperate men
In a Desperate Situation.
