Russia’s SMO against the scourge of US-created/Nazi-infested Ukraine left its greatly degraded military battered, beaten, and on life support near collapse.
If the US-controlled puppet regime in Kiev continues the futility of challenging Russia’s overwhelming battlefield superiority — instead of sensibly negotiating surrender — Ukrainian forces will collapse altogether.
Not according to NYT fake news.
In its latest edition of making stuff up over indisputable reality on the ground in Ukraine and Donbass, it reported the following rubbish:
“Ukrainian soldiers held off Russian attacks in eastern Ukraine (sic).”
Citing no evidence because there is none, Kiev falsely claimed “that its forces carried out successful strikes on Russian targets on land, air and at sea,” according to Times fake news.
Ukraine’s nonexistent “air force…struck three clusters of enemy soldiers in the Kherson region (sic).”
Similar rubbish followed, the Times admitting that “Ukrainian claims could not be independently verified” — because they were made up.
Even what the Times said was “captured on video,” it then backtracked by admitting that it hadn’t “authenticated the veracity of the videos” in question.
Throughout Russia’s SMO, Ukrainian forces have been retreating in disarray, not “counterattack(ing)” as the Times falsely claimed.
No “broader (Kiev) offensive” was conducted earlier, none forthcoming ahead by a military near collapse.
Yet the Times continues beating a near-dead horse, falsely claiming that (nonexistent) “Ukrainian counterattacks picked up (sic).”
Then falsely claimed that “Russian forces…had to devote more attention to fortifying defensive positions (sic)” — ignoring their advances.
Virtually everything claimed by Kiev, puppet Zelensky, what remains of the regime’s virtually defeated military and MSM propaganda defies reality on the ground.
No Russian Black Sea “naval blockade” is in place.
No “significant losses of (its) manpower.”
No Russian strikes on civilians or targets unrelated to military objectives occurred during its SMO.
A reality check on the ground in Donbass is as follows:
“During the special military operation on the premises of the Azot (plant) in the city of Severodonetsk, some Ukrainian forces made a correct decision and began to surrender,” the Lugansk Media Center reported on Friday, adding:
Russian and LPR forces liberated and control Severodonetsk.
Only the issue of Ukrainian Nazi thugs and their human shield hostages inside Azot needs to be resolved.
According to LPR official Andrey Marochko:
“Our units together with the units of the Russian Armed Forces took hold of the industrial zone of the Azot plant.”
“There are some successes, but it is necessary to note that Ukrainian troops use the plant’s infrastructure for their military purposes.”
“They are using large tanks with toxic chemicals, hazardous and explosive substances as a cover.”
Ukrainian forces “tried to set up supplies between the cities of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk through a large diameter pipe that connects the two towns.”
“They tried to use it as a bridge.”
“(T)hey failed, (were) forced to pull back (and) suffered losses.”
On June 7, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that Russian and allied forces liberated Severodonetsk’s residential neighborhoods and gained near-control over its industrial zone and nearby settlements.
Inside Azot, an estimated 1,200 civilians are being held as human shield hostages.
Separately on Friday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, explained that Ukraine within its earlier borders “will never exist again.”
Largely Russian speaking liberated areas most likely will either vote by referendum to join the Russian Federation or declare their sovereign independence from Ukraine and its US-controlled tyrannical regime.
Yet WaPo editors signed off on permitting the following rubbish to be published on Saturday in defiance of reality on the ground, saying:
The (illegitimate) Biden regime “hopes the West’s upcoming surge of military assistance to Ukraine (sic) — along with Russia’s increasing isolation on the world stage (sic) — will drain President Vladimir Putin’s will to fight (sic).”
And this WaPo rubbish:
Ukrainian civilians held hostage by Ukrainian Nazis as human shields inside Azot “are not likely (to be) persuade(d) to” leave the plant (sic)” — according to fake news by the BoJo regime’s war ministry.
And this WaPo rubbish:
“Russian forces have been accused by Ukrainian authorities of attacking humanitarian corridors (sic), particularly during evacuation campaigns (from) Mariupol (sic).”
And this from WSJ Journal editors on Saturday:
“Where are (advanced) rockets for Ukraine” promised by the Biden regime?
Most likely they weren’t sent so far or if arrived were spotted and destroyed by Russian forces.
In the last 24 hours, Russia struck “195 areas of amassed manpower and military equipment, 34 command posts and 42 firing positions of Ukrainian artillery and mortar units,” according to its Defense Ministry.
Over 200 more Nazi thugs were eliminated, along with “an electronic warfare station…a Tochka-U tactical missile system…an Uragan multiple rocket launcher and a Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system.”
Another Ukrainian Su-25 warplane was shot down, as well as seven more UAVs.
According to Reuters on Saturday, the Pentagon has second thoughts on supplying Kiev with MQ-1C Gray Eagle combat drones.
On the phony pretext of concern about their capture by Russian forces, the Pentagon’s reluctance to supply them is because when airborne, superior Russian air defense systems will down them.

If Ukraine has the upper hand, there will be embedded journalists reporting from just behind the frontlines. No such reports lately because the defeat was overwhelming, as proven by territories lost to the Russians.
