Facing Russian Advance, a Top Ukrainian General Paints a Bleak Picture
#Ukraine’s forces are stretched thin & have minimal reserves to draw on, the chief of #military#intelligence said, in addition to shortages of #weapons.
#Ukraine’s military is confronting a “critical” situation in the country’s northeast, facing troop shortages as it tries to repel a Russian offensive that has been advancing for several days, a top Ukrainian general said on Monday.
Russian troops surged across the border last week to open a new line of attack near #Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city after #Kyiv, capturing at least 9 settlements & villages & forcing thousands of #civilians to flee.
"Russia is conducting a sabotage campaign across Europe in an increasingly aggressive effort by President Vladimir Putin to undermine Western support for Ukraine, seeking to damage railways, military bases and other sites used to supply arms to Kyiv, U.S. and European officials say."
NBC News reports: "The attempted sabotage includes an alleged Russian-backed arson attack on a Ukrainian-linked warehouse in the United Kingdom, a plot to bomb or set fire to military bases in Germany, attempts to hack and disrupt Europe’s railway signal network and the jamming of GPS systems for civil aviation."
The #Russians made a 'deal' with the 'devil' (#Putin)
a bit like people who agree to pay bribes to the Mafia...
Putin gives us stability;... we DO NOT ask questions'
but as ALWAYS
deals with the Devil... DO NOT work
they bring SEEDS to ruin.
Wer ist Russlands künftiger Verteidigungsminister Beloussow?
Russlands Verteidigungsminister Schoigu muss seinen Posten für einen Zivilisten räumen: Präsident Putins neuer Mann heißt Beloussow. Der Wirtschaftsexperte wird vom Kreml als innovative Wahl präsentiert. Von Björn Blascke.
"the message sent by Belousov’s appointment is crystal clear: The war is here to stay."
"Replacing Shoigu with Belousov is unlikely to lead to any significant reduction in war-related graft and corruption—and Putin probably knows that. Rather, Belousov’s task will likely be to ensure a more even and sustainable distribution of the proceeds of said graft and corruption"
Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to replace Sergei Shoigu as defense minister, the Kremlin has announced. The 68-year-old Shoigu is a long-standing ally of Putin’s and has been in the role since 2012. BBC News reports: https://flip.it/t8AIUQ #News#WorldNews#Russia#Putin#RussiaUkraineWar
The Kremlin dictator does not have strong leaders, so he took a “gray horse” - Andrei Belousov , whom no one had even heard of until today.
Apparently, his main task as head of the Ministry of Defense will be to organize the transfer of the country to a military footing, strengthening the production of weapons, and the like. A purely nominative and not decisive figure. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Russia#Putin
