Military analysts say the Kremlin’s forces may be probing Ukrainian defences for weak points or could be making a feint while preparing for a main thrust through southern Ukraine.

Bro truth is always the first victim of a war

Zelenskyy is ready and willing to repeat Soledar disaster on a larger scale in Bakhmut and Ugledar. He never learns. Russian strategy is clear. According to WaPo of all places Russians have 1:6 advantage in artillery (you can imagine their real advantage). 85% of Ukrainian soldiers are killed even without seeing an enemy. Russians are pounding Ukrainian army into oblivion with artillery. They are methodical, rational and they don't waste lives of their people . They are not obsessed with symbolism and deadlines like Zelenskyy. They achieved a lot. “The main object of operations should not be the territory, but the army of the enemy” Helmuth von Moltke Sr. You still don't get it . Zelenskyy strategy on the other hand is reduced to rounding up civilians often at gunpoint and throwing them into a meat grinder in a futile attempt to stabilize the front. It means that Ukrainian losses are snowballing. Simultaneously Zelenskyy keeps sending his troops to their deaths on suicide missions. What's the point in ongoing senseless drowning in the Dnieper of hundreds of troops?

In 2022, when the allied forces were saying _"war was imminent, "_ they were saying so with the knowledge that they had already *botched* "diplomacy, " which, oddly enough, *excluded* one of the warring parties, namely, Ukraine. So, the war was imminent after a botched diplomacy, but was not inevitable in the lead up to that diplomacy. Had diplomacy been undertaken in earnest, things might have turned out differently.

Free world, don't forget you signed the 1994 Budapest memorandum!!!! Putin violated this memorandum time and time again. Don't let your signatures be worthless. You owe Ukraine all the help they need. Free world, you always state that Ukraine fights for our values, our democracy and our security. Don't let these words be empty words. Give Ukraine all the weapons Ukraine needs in time to defend sovereign Ukraine and kick Russia out of Ukraine for good.
