Ukrainian intelligence corroborates my research findings that initial goal of #Russian invasion of #Ukraine was regime change, in particular, installing Yanukovych as leader. He was removed from power in 2014 as result of Western-backed violent overthrow. washingtonpost.com/world/interact…
"As part of that plan, Ukrainian officials said, the FSB had lined up at least two pro-Russian governments-in-waiting— not just one as the British government had warned. One, positioned in Belarus, centered on Yanukovych."

"United States has tied its own reputation to the outcome of the conflict... It hard to imagine Washington backing down; if Russia prevailed in Ukraine, the United States’ position in the world would suffer a serious blow." #UkraineRussiaWar #Ukrainewar 1/ foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/playin…
"Over the course of the war Russia has captured large swaths of territory in eastern and southern Ukraine, and there is growing evidence that Putin now intends to annex all or most of that land, which would effectively turn what is left of Ukraine into a dysfunctional rump state"
"Ukraine, for its part, has the same goals as the Biden administration. The Ukrainians are bent on recapturing territory lost to Russia—including Crimea—and a weaker Russia is certainly less threatening to Ukraine. Furthermore, they are confident that they can win" #UkraineWar 3/

#Zelensky tells why he didn't warn Ukrainians about #Russian invasion: “If we had communicated that then I would have been losing $7 billion a month since last October, and at the moment when the Russians did attack, they would have taken us in three days" washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
"If we sow chaos among people before the invasion, the Russians will devour us. Because during chaos, people flee the country.” For Zelensky, the decision to keep people in the country, where they could fight to defend their homes, was the key to repelling any invasion" #Ukraine
“As cynical as it may sound, those are the people who stopped everything,” he said." #Zelenskyy refers to his ban for men aged 18 to 60 to leave #Ukraine after #Russian invasion. He himself dodged military draft during war in #Donbas.

I warned in my @CTVNews interviews, publications & social media posts that "Ukraine-Russia conflict has escalated to a very dangerous point The possibility that it can turn into an armed conflict, or even a war, has increased significantly and is real." truthout.org/articles/lies-…
My CTV News Interview on January 30, 2022: "There is a real danger that the Ukraine-Russia conflict would turn into some kind of armed conflict, such as a Russian military deployment in Donbas or war in Eastern and Southern Ukraine or even entire Ukraine"

As I predicted: "The progress was notable, but the introduction of superior Western systems has not brought radical changes in Russian superiority. Russian artillery is still extremely overwhelming and deadly." #Ukraine #UkraineWar #Russia #UkraineRussia kyivindependent.com/national/why-u…
"Russia's numerical superiority, and its endless munitions stock ... have had a devastating effect on the course of the war... The disproportion between the number of Russian and Ukrainian pieces deployed to a particular front line area can go as far as 10 to 1." #Ukraine #Russia
And even @washingtonpost has to finally acknowledge this
