The last remaining small stronghold of Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut is about to fall or has already fallen, based on some videos and reports, to Russian mercenary Wagner forces after heavy battle.
It was clear since war start that odds of Ukraine defeating Russia are heavily against Ukraine. But Western & Ukrainian government leaders, media & self-proclaimed experts pushed propaganda about defeat of Russia in order to justify proxy war & denounce peaceful resolution.
"U.S. officials are planning for the growing possibility that the Russia-Ukraine war will turn into a frozen conflict that lasts many years - perhaps decades- and joins the ranks of similar lengthy face-offs in the Korean peninsula, South Asia and beyond" politico.com/news/2023/05/1…
Biden to accept de facto Russian annexation of parts of Ukraine: "The options discussed within the Biden administration for a long-term “freeze” include where to set potential lines that Ukraine and Russia would agree not to cross, but which would not have to be official borders"
President of EU Commission: “Today, war is back in Europe. But for many Ukrainians, this conflict began already ten years ago. It began when peaceful protesters, just waving the European flags in Maidan Square, were shot dead by snipers." Yes, but by Maidan opposition snipers. 1/
Orwellian: Despite closure of opposition TV & other media, creation of single news program on all TV channels, censorship & persecution of journalists & "despite the war, Ukraine has risen from 106th to 79th place in the press freedom index." #PressFreedompravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/…
"By ordinary standards, the position of the press in Ukraine has not improved in the past year, but dramatically worsened. In an exhaustive article, Branko Marcetic (Jacobin) thoroughly outlined how democratic institutions have deteriorated in Ukraine." fair.org/home/ukraines-…
WP omits that Azov brigade interim commander "leading the rebuilding effort" was activist of radical nationalist & neo-Nazi Right Sector, which was involved in Maidan & Odesa massacres & violent government overthrow. He was one of neo-Nazi-led Azov battalion/regiment commanders.
"Leaked papers reveal reality behind Ukraine war propaganda — and it's grim. Corporate media have assured us the war's going well and Ukraine will win. That now looks like disinformation." salon.com/2023/04/24/lea…
Yes, this was clear propaganda & disinformation by government officials, politicians, media & "pundits" in order to justify continuation of proxy war with negative consequences to Ukraine and Ukrainians:
"The publication of these assessments should lead to renewed calls for our government to level with the public about what it realistically hopes to achieve by prolonging the bloodshed, and why it continues to reject the resumption of the promising peace negotiations it blocked."
