How Russia is Winning the Conflict protracted by NATO’s Weapons with EU-US Citizens’ Money
Last Ukrainian Military Ship Destroyed, UK-supplied Storm Shadow
“We are preparing for this conflict to become protracted, for the consequences of such a turn of events. We must prepare public opinion to
sustain long-term support for Ukraine in a high- to medium-intensity conflict in accordance with the situation. To that extent, we must reconsider and analyze
the nature of our support together with our partners during this summer, and to realize what we need to achieve the desired result.”
French President Emmanuel Macron said during the Globsec international security conference in Bratislava, Slovakia, adding that hopes are still high for the success of Ukraine’s much-vaunted counteroffensive.
But the French president does not admit a crucial issue of this shameful war triggered by the
2014 coup in Kiev to remove the pro-Russian president, by the repeated violations of the truce in Donbass by Ukrainian troops, and then by the continuous military provocations with the copious supply of weapons before the invasion of the country by the Moscow army.
Right now the
American and European Weapons Lobby is doing a booming business thanks to the sale of armaments bought with government money deriving from the taxes of US and EU citizens to be given as gifts to the Ukrainian president Volodymy Zelenky who is leading his country to destruction, in a war that he doesn’t have the slightest chance of winning,
just because he has become NATO’s hit-man in an indirect confrontation against Russia and has the obligation not to accept any truce or peace deal
Putin confirmed strike on Ukrainian military intelligence HQ
Meanwhile on the real battle-ground the fact are becoming every day more important than words.
After the conquest of
Bakhmut by Russian Wagner group, the Kiev Regime support by ongoing more powerful NATO weapons didn’t react with a real counteroffensive in Donbass but trough many “terroristic” attacks on Russia territories (
Moscow and Belgored) causing more fear than damages or casualties.
After that Russia has targeted the headquarters of the Ukrainian military’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) in Kiev, President Vladimir Putin confirmed on Tuesday.
“We’ve been talking about the possibility of striking the ‘decision-making centers.’ Naturally, Ukraine’s military intelligence headquarters falls into such a category, and it was hit two or three days ago,” Putin stated.
Unlike Ukraine, which has been targeting
“residential buildings” in Russia, Moscow is striking only military targets, such as ammunition dumps or fuel depots, with
“high-precision” weaponry, he added.
Russian forces wipe out last Ukrainian combat ship in Odessa
Russia’s Aerospace Forces destroyed the last Ukrainian combat ship in the Odessa port in the
special military operation in Ukraine, Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov reported on Wednesday.
