The Ukraine’s folly will definitely go down as one of the biggest miscalculations in modern history.

And to think Georgia had paid a similar price some years earlier but people seem to have bad memory.

And all because Ukraine’s poor leadership couldn’t foresee Russia’s determination in tackling their concerns, back from when the Ukraine was still intact!

The Ukrainian government was too busy parlaying with the hotshot Americans to pay any attention!

What a useless government they had!

More to the point:

Ukraine’s capital has been “blocked” by the Russian military, Kiev’s mayor, former world heavyweight champion boxer Vitali Klitschko told the Associated Press in an interview on Sunday when asked whether the evacuation of civilians from the city was possible.

“We can’t do that, because all ways are blocked,” he stated, according to AP. “Right now we are encircled.”

The AP noted it was unable to independently verify the claim made by the official. Shortly after the interview was published, however, the mayor took to social media to refute the bold claim, bizarrely blaming his own statement to the leading New York-headquartered news agency on “Russian media.”

“In the evening, Russian internet outlets spread information citing myself that Kyiv has been allegedly surrounded and evacuation of people was impossible,” Klitschko wrote.

“Don’t believe lies! Trust information only from official sources,” he added.
He did not specify which “official sources” should be trusted

. Moscow has remained silent on the mayor’s claim, with no officials suggesting prior to or after his interview that the Ukrainian capital has been indeed “encircled.”

The years-long Ukrainian crisis got even more turbulent this week, when Russia launched a large-scale offensive against the country’s military, citing the need to protect the breakaway republics in the east of the country from an allegedly imminent attack by Kiev, a charge the Ukrainian side has denied, branding the attack “unprovoked.”

Days before the military operation kicked off, Moscow formally recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s republics, which broke away from Ukraine back in 2014 after the Maidan coup and endured years of armed conflict with the Kiev forces.

EU could supply fighter jets to Ukraine

The European Union's foreign policy chief suggested that the EU would even be willing to supply fighter jets to Ukraine, reports James Crisp.

"We are going to provide even fighting jets. We are not just talking ammunition, we are talking about more important arms to go to war," Josep Borrell said after the meeting of EU foreign ministers.

What a disgustingly corrupt and treasonous entity this EU has turned out to be!

They want to gift a non EU-member some of the most expensive military toys available to do America’s bidding, but haven’t got a dime to spare for Greece and Turkey-occupied Cyprus!

With friends like these who needs enemies? :?

Report from an honest Ukrainian (warning: if you’re a friend of NATO, you’re going to be disappointed by this):

“The following is a status report of what appears to be happening at this time (2022. 02. 27 at 12:00 noon Kiev time) in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I am trying to be as realistic as possible. I mean no disrespect or animus to either the Ukrainian side or the Russian side. I am not in any sense questioning the bravery of the soldiers of any nation, nor do I mean to give any offense. I live permanently in Ukraine, I love the Ukrainian people, and my children are Ukrainian citizens. In what I am about to say, I am trying to give a realistic, sober assessment of the current state of play.

The Russians have entered the center of Kharkiv, I know this from eyewitness accounts of people that I know there. There is small arms fighting, but generally light resistance. In the south, Kherson has fallen and the Russian army seems to have captured Zaporozhia. It seems clear that Dnipro will be reached within 3 to 5 days. At this time, Kiev is being surrounded by Russian tanks. There is sporadic small arms fire outside the city, but no big battles.

The Russian strategy seems to be to encircle the cities, while destroying military installations. The vast majority of civilian infrastructure in the areas under attack have been untouched and are functioning normally. It also seems very clear that the Russians have used their older equipment and less experienced soldiers in this initial assault. Very few of the high-tech modern weaponry that the Russians possess are being used in this first push. This would lead one to believe that the Russians want to probe and exhaust Ukrainian defenses before bringing out top-tier men and materiel.

The Russians are being incredibly disciplined insofar as their information management is concerned. The only information coming out of the Russians comes directly from the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their information so far has been 100% accurate, which I think is a deliberate strategy. There has been a great deal of Ukrainian propaganda that turned out to be complete fantasy, but even after these stories have been proven to be false, people cling to them.

At the current pace of operations, the Russians will completely capture Ukraine within 7 to 14 days. They are winning, and winning decisively. Maps comparing the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 to this current mechanized invasion show that the Russians are outpacing the Americans by a substantial margin. And as I said, they are using their second-tier men and weapons, and they did not use air power to soften Ukraine for several weeks, as the Americans did in 2003. Any claims that the Ukrainians are winning or holding back the Russians is complete fantasy.

This is the current state of play as I perceive it at this time.

That's a good post but I can't say it's not what I expected... the Ukrainian government is no doubt looking for victims to stay behind and defend them so they're manufacturing heroic stories! :)

Some people will see that.

Young, inexperienced soldiers and soviet era equipment and come to the wrong conclusion.

Jewish propagandists hard at work…

This image is actually two combined into one straight down the middle.

In the left image the weasel is made out to be a “president fighting on the front-lines” by some cheap jewish propagandists, while on the one on the right a German network accurately reports that he was inspecting troops on the front-line!
