💥Today’s news about a possible attack by the Ukrainian army on Russia’s land is potentially game-changing in this war between Ukraine and Russia. A few thoughts.
First, Russia doesn’t have the exclusive right to use “Special Operation” when referring to war-related actions. Second and more seriously, Who did this? If indeed it is Ukraine, was it to test Russia’s defense? If so, Russian again failed miserably from a military perspective at protecting its territory as, surprisingly, helicopters didn’t face any shots from the ground. Is someone paying attention to the sky in Russia? Another point goes in the column of “weak army.” Mind blown. Or is it that Ukraine wants something else, drag deeper Russia into war and force the west to intervene? Is this scenario too twisted?
What if it is Russia? I wouldn’t be surprised at a deliberate act to help build even more momentum and justify what they are doing against Ukraine. This momentum will be needed when Russia returns on the east front once they finish regrouping and replenishing their units.
The next few hours will be interesting to watch. 📺
🇺🇦 For more than a month now, Ukrainian has been fighting to defend themselves against the invaders. This is a watershed moment of history, happening just before our eyes. Sadly, we can already see the routine of war being in place. Emphasis on the events during the news bulletin is decreasing already. We are so easily bored. Unless there is a significant turn of events, we will move on to the next crisis. I’m so sorry for that. 😞
🤨 As diplomatic talks progress, don’t be fooled by Russian words. The only viable solution is for them to leave what was known as “Ukraine before 2014”. Nothing less. We must keep pressure on Putin and our respective governments! Oh, and why do we feel so bad about recent Biden’s words about Putin? I mean, a lot of people are wishing for much more than simply “not stay in power”.
💪🏻 Stalled or retreating troops. Low morale. Decreasing attacks. High casualties and losts. Retaken cities by Ukrainian troops. Odessa and Kyiv free with minimal damages. I’m not a military expert or a military pundit, but these signs point to a turning point. Let me hope for even brighter days ahead. 🙏🏻✌🏻
😀 After reading the news this morning on the situation of the war in Ukraine, I feel more upbeat than usual. It appears that Russian advances in recent days and hours are very limited, except in the sky, but they don’t have sky supremacy, yet. Far from it. Ukrainians are simply incredible at fencing one of the most powerful (well, that’s what we thought) armies in the world. 🇺🇦
It will take ages to recover from this mess, but meanwhile, I’ll take any ray of light in a heartbeat.
🇺🇦🍽 I had this dinner yesterday night with some friends. The war in Ukraine subject came up. In fact, I brought it up, on purpose. As you might expect, I was adamant about our lack of support to the Ukrainian people. My point is that we must do much more even if we have to pay a price. I was emotional about it. Sure it made my friends feel uneasy. I cannot envision a discussion about Ukraine without being passionate and emotional. 😒🖤
🤔 I’m not a military expert, far from it, but as we go further into this insane and highly criminal war, facts show there is something wrong with the Russian army. Highly exposed and long columns of standing still vehicles, attacking on way too many fronts at once, losing so many soldiers in such a short time frame, are good examples that show how amateurish the Russian army is. Russia isn’t a superpower, both military and economically. Rumours are to the effect that missiles inventories are at an all-time low. And I’m not even talking about troops’ morale. As much as 75% of the operational army of Russia is supposedly dedicated to the invasion of Ukraine. Only 25% of their active resources are left scattered across Russia. 🇷🇺🔫
Russia apparently is failing at their primary military objectives: occupy territory in a sustainable way and seize Ukraine’s leadership.
🇺🇦 While current negotiations between Russian criminals and Ukraine leaders are taking place, I sincerely hope that if ever a deal is signed between the two, the west will be the next to convince and deal with and the one who sets the conditions to undo, even in small steps, the pressure on Russia. They have to pay the price for decades to come. I’m so angry at them. Does it show? 😡
📧 I decided to return to Telegram to get the news about the war in Ukraine. It’s fast. Simple. I subscribe to a few groups. We do see things in there that is not available on other news feed. I prefer Telegram to Twitter for that type of stuff. Some content is shocking for sure. But was is. Call me a masochist. 😞
😡 Let’s face it. Vladimir Putin has no morale. He’s a criminal. His only goal in life is war. He doesn’t care about his people. He only cares about himself. He wants to make Russia “great again” but not for his people, for himself. After Ukraine, he will look around and select his next target. And invade. Eventually, he will make a mistake. Either he will pay for it, or we will all pay for it. Mark my words.
