My research: Now each party of #UkraineRussianWar believes that it can win this war militarily & declared victory in the war as their goal. Meanwhile, US declared as its goal weakening of #Russia in proxy war by continuing war in #Ukraine for long time or by defeating Russia. 1/
#Zelenskyy & Defense Minister of Ukraine stated that war would only end with taking back all lost territory of #Ukraine, i.e., not only Russian-occupied #Kherson, #Zaporizhzhia & #Donbas during #Russian invasion but also separatist-controlled Donbas & Russian annexed Crimea. 2/
Conversely, Putin stated that Russia “did not yet even begin” in #Ukraine. Deputy head of Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev wrote that #Russia would demand “the total surrender of the Kiev regime on Russia's terms." #UkraineWar #UkraineRussianWar #RussiaUkraineWar 3/

Wow! Another Maidan protester from Lviv testifies at Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine that he was wounded by sniper from Maidan-controlled Zhovtnevyi Palace. He saw this sniper aiming at him. He was not allowed to continue because nobody is charged.. 1/
...with his wounding. Government investigation in #Ukraine determined based on their testimonies & investigative experiments that he & 76 other Maidan protesters were wounded from Maidan-controlled locations. It didn't charge anyone & denies that there were any snipers there. 2/
Testimony at Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine by another Maidan protester that he was shot by sniper from Maidan-controlled building & saw this sniper aiming at him is yet another corroboration by this ongoing trial of my studies of Maidan massacre. 3/ researchgate.net/publication/26…

Anonymous reviewer goes Orwellian: Odesa massacre by far right is "incident" & not political violence, Donbas war is not civil war, OUN/UPA did not collaborate with Nazi Germany & OUN did not invent "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes!" greeting. This all is Russian propaganda.
This is Orwellian since majority of Western scholars, based on overwhelming evidence, classify Donbas war as civil war with Russian intervention, OUN/UPA as Nazi collaborators, "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes!" greeting as invented by OUN & Odesa massacre as political violence
2 other reviewers agree that Odesa massacre was political violence by far right, Donbas war was civil war with Russian intervention, OUN/UPA collaborated with Nazi Germany & OUN invented "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes" greeting. Editors go with 3d reviewer after almost 3 year

Proxy war: "Guided by British special forces, Ukraine is escalating the 'deep battlespace' fight against Russia." #Ukraine #UkraineWar #Russia #UkraineRussianWar 1/ washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/guided…
"Still, three Western government sources tell me that Ukraine's deep battlespace effort [inside Russia and Crimea] owes especial thanks to Britain — specifically to British strike and reconnaissance special forces personnel inside Ukraine." #Ukraine #UkraineWar #Russia 2/
"This UK deployment was originally supervised by the now-retired head of the British Army, Gen. Mark Carleton-Smith, a former head of the U.K. Special Forces command who is deeply respected by the Army's combat infantry cadres." #Ukraine #UkraineWar 3/
