...are they and other western media banging the drum that only direct intervention by the U.S. and whatever NATO countries will follow "us" is the only way the Ukie government and military can be saved...? And check out the AP story on the first comment. Supposedly its talking about the AFU getting German tanks but it shows a dozen or so photos of Ukrainian military funerals. Pretty weird discontent between the article title and the photos used...

Morgues are packed with bodies of Ukrainian soldiers — Outnumbered and Worn Out, Ukrainians in East Brace for Russian Assault(Article by The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/06/world/europe/ukraine-russia-offensive.html))

The New York Times has an interesting article on the eastern front and how it is changing. In particular, using the village of Nevskoye in the Luhansk region as an example, the publication reports that the Russian Armed Forces, advancing, are launching more and more artillery strikes on the outskirts of the village. "Now they (strikes) are becoming more and more frequent, as the Russian troops are making their way forward." The newspaper relays the feelings of the residents of the village in question.

In addition to confirming the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the Liman direction, the newspaper also reports high losses in the ranks of the AFU and the strong moral wear and tear of the soldiers. "Tired Ukrainian soldiers complain that the Russian Armed Forces already outnumber them in weapons and men, and doctors in hospitals speak of growing losses..." The "Karpatskaya Sech" battalion, located near Nevsky, has lost about 30 fighters in recent weeks, and at one frontline hospital in the Donbas, the morgue was packed with the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers in white plastic bags. In another hospital, stretchers with wounded troops covered in gold foil thermal blankets crowded the corridors, and a steady stream of ambulances arrived from the front nearly all day long.

A military surgeon at that hospital, Myroslav Dubenko, 36, scrolled through photographs of soldiers with ghastly injuries: a lower jaw blasted off, half of a face missing. One soldier was rushed in with his throat sliced open from ear to ear. Dr. Dubenko was able to quickly repair the damage, and the soldier survived.

“In civilian life, you know that no matter how horrible your shift is, it will end sooner or later,” Dr. Dubenko said. “Here, you never know when it will end.”

The general message of the article is quite simple: the AFU does not have enough people and weapons to contain the onslaught of the RF Armed Forces at the Eastern Front.

This conclusion is indirectly confirmed by the increased flow of videos and photos of killed and captured Ukrainian soldiers at the recaptured positions in recent weeks. It is also interesting that the publication particularly emphasizes the unpleasant fact for the AFU of the appearance of T-90M tanks on the battlefield.





Russia's attacks in Ukraine have "expanded and intensified" ahead of what could be "the Kremlin's biggest offensive since the early weeks of the war". The New York Times says so.

The paper reports that Russia is now deploying hundreds of thousands of mobilized soldiers. They are operating in small groups to explore vulnerabilities in Ukrainian defensive lines. "This has forced Ukraine to strain its forces to repel the threat," the article reports.

It remains unclear where and when Moscow will launch a large-scale offensive. But Ukrainian authorities say tens of thousands of mobilized soldiers have been sent to northeastern and south-eastern Ukraine.

On the northern flank of the "crescent" (as the front line in the east of the country looks like) the tensest area is Kremenna, the town where the Ukrainian counter-offensive stalled in September. And it is now one of the areas where, according to Ukrainian officials, Moscow is gathering troops for a new offensive.

At the southern end of the crescent, near the town of Ugledar, Ukraine said Russian attacks had been repelled. But officials have warned that tens of thousands of Russian soldiers have been moved into the region and may be gathering for a more coordinated offensive.

Sorry Danny, you probably aren't going to get your wish. This war really isn't over the Rus invading Ukraine, its that the western financial cartel won't tolerate a multi-polar world where their fiat currencies have to compete against other money sources. Because that competition might collapse the debt-based house of cards that the USD as world reserve currency, along with its fellow travelers of the EU's Euro and the Brits Sterling, prop up. Russian economic power could never rival the West's moving of money digits around the globe but Russia's huge land mass and natural resources, especially various metals, couldn't just be left alone after the break up the USSR in the early 1990s. Ukraine was just used as a proxy, especially starting with 2014, to try to force Russian resources under the largest global financial cartel's control. Russia was easier to get at through Europe than taking on China's land mass and huge population from across the Pacific or around the world from Europe. Besides, the western consumer economies got addicted to cheap goods from the Chicoms. Outside of maybe some oil, the U.S. consumer economy had few linkages to Russia that I can think of off hand.

No, this isn't over even if the Ukie armed forces are basically beaten to a bloody pulp. Not over by far...
