Assuming of course that what Zelensky says can be trusted.

It could easily be a smokescreen to catch the Russians “flat footed”.

It is more the case that Zelensky doesn’t have enough soldiers left to go on the offensive.

Last few times Russia withdrew it’s forces from places Zelensky claimed to have won those territories.

Russia is not going to be withdrawing anymore.

So come on Zelensky, let’s see you “recapture more territories in Ukraine” from the Russians.

Zalizmenos has been asking for Yanks boots on the ground for some time. I guess that is a sign of the predicament he is in.

I think he got lost in translation. It's not really "bullets" they run off, but heavy armor ammunition especially artillery shells.
He said he would come back on the topic regarding the various "mercenaries" many of which did not even join the Ukrainian forces, or just left after a few days, while others just staged fake videos, pocketing thousands of donations. I 'd bet Paphitis was one of those victims, "donating" money to receive a video of a shell with his name on.

Anyway until the guy in Redacted does return on that issue, you may watch this podcast. It elaborates on that crook Vasquez, and many other Hollywood type fakes using real Ukrainian actors.

It's amazing how a simple google search outputs hundreds of denials on this.
This by itself speaks volumes.

Here's the context in which Zelensky said it though. It was a blackmail based on a widely spread false assumption that Russia will attack Nato countries, if Ukraine loses.

It was clearly based on the groundless assumption, that after Russia gets done with Ukraine, it will then attack the Baltic states. We heard that myth a long time ago....

Regardless, ZelenSKY felt the need to warn the Americans that if Ukraine loses, then they will have to send their troops to die in the Baltic States. However there are people who think that Ukraine will lose anyway, unless they get new weapons and F-16s together with American/ Nato well trained operators. So what ZelenSKY said comes across to those people, like saying "instead of sending your troops/weapon operators to die later in the Baltic states, why not send them now in Ukraine".

RW te idea that once Ukraine falls Russia will move against other countries is a myth created by the west and is the same idea they used against Vietnam. Total nonsense. Countries around Russia that have Russian speakers within their borders better treat them well or else they will want to leave and join Russian Federation too. Especially if there is a facility for cheap resources involved.

Simple political economics.

if there are Russians harbouring animosity against America, do you blame them. They have just had a huge economic attack from them. It is natural thinking.

...a Bakhmut map from Russian forces, and other news.



...this like other reports notes that Wagner forces are losing troops already from demobilisation, with such contracts ending.

...the report, of coarse, starts with attacks in Crimea (again).

...you like to think that "this" ruling elite represents Russians, but this is far from the truth; living in La La Land wot?
