Ukraine War Week 5 Update/2
Stage 1 of the war - Russian advances - ended weeks ago. We entered Stage 2, an exchange of positions on the edge, towns & villages taken & retaken, by both sides for a few weeks which now ended. Russia has no ability to advance anymore, only retreat
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/3
The biggest prize, Battle of Kyiv was decisive victory for Ukraine. Kyiv was never invaded, not even sieged, not even encircled. The Russian army was stopped at the Battle of Irpin. Now that army is in retreat
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/4
The other object was to take Odesa in the South, but that advance was also defeated by Ukraine, Russians never encircled Odesa either and are in retreat in the South.
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/5
Russia's Defense Minister has been disappeared by Putin
The Deputy Defense Minister issued bold promise Russia will shift combat to Eastern front as their losses in North & South were blatant, but Ukraine is now pushing them back in the East as well
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/6
The Russian invader army, 150,000 troops from Russia, 40,000 gangsters, terrorists & thugs from Donbas = 190,000
has lost 17,500 men = 9% of the total invading army killed. Plus about 40,000 more injured. About 30% of Russia's army is out of action
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/7
There is reporting of communication failures, Russians shooting down their own jet plane. Russians disobeying orders. Killing at least one of their commanders aka Col Tanky McLeggy. Failure of logistics, no food, no fuel, no ammo. Death by frostbite
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/8
Putin even ordered the Northern front to dig defensive positions into the Red Forest of Chernobyl, where Russian troops were being irradiated, developing symptoms of radiation poisoning, so Putin is actively sterilizing and killing his own army.
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/9
That Eric Trump level lunatic battle plan has now been abandoned and Russian troops allowed to withdraw from Red Forest to Belarus. But yes, the 'mighty' Russian is in RETREAT away from Kyiv and North into cover and safety of Belarus
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/10
Russia is sending reinforcements to its losing army in Ukraine. 1,000 mercenaries and 2,000 active Russian military from countries occupied by Russia like Georgia, have been sent into Ukraine as reinforcements. They don't even replace the 17,500 dead
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/11
Russia is organizing a new offensive on the Eastern front. This is plain to see on satellite images that USA and EU are sharing with Ukraine, so there will be no 'element of surprise' to the eventual attack. Ukraine will prevail.
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/12
Potentially the biggest single military battle loss to Russia since the middle of the First World War, would be if the (remnants of the) 35th Combined Arms Army are caught in a pocket North of Kyiv & forced to surrender
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/13
Russia lost the Battle of Kyiv. The 35th Combined Arms Army is in retreat, back North towards Belarus. The key is strategic town of Ivankiv & some pontoon bridges near it. Area is swampy forests with 1 road through it. Russia has 12,000 troops there
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/14
It is possible Russia can get most of the 35th CAA out of the Kyiv Pocket aka Bucha Pocket. But over the next 10 days or so, this battle could well turn into one of the biggest surrenders in modern warfare and massive humiliation to Putin
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/15
Talking about #CzarLilliPutin - Bunker Boy and notorious serial collector of long tables has apparently been receiving false reports about the war, as his advisors fear telling the truth to #LilliPutin. So expect more madness from Putin
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/16
Russia cannot win this war on the ground. So they will avenge by slaughtering civilians from afar. This war will turn ever more brutal, & it will take a long time for Ukraine to expel the invaders
West needs to supply Ukraine with tanks, jets etc
Ukraine War Week 5 Update/17
Ukraine will prevail. The Russian invader will be killed, captured or expelled. This third stage of the war will take much more time, months. But have patience & support Ukraine. Ukraine will not give up territory to Putin
