Nothing so far, he’s talking about the economy and covid-19
I hate the fact that I tweeted i’ll cover it, now I need to sit here and listen to him talk about how great his economy is recovering because he might say something important.
-Russia will declare war on Ukraine before November.
-Although highly unlikely, nukes could be used in the coming months.
-We’ll see a heavy push for Mykolaiv and Zaporizhia.
-After Odessa and Zaporizhia Russia will go for kharkiv
-Although highly unlikely, but after the new year starts, there’s a possibility both Belarus and Russia will go for Kyiv.
-The entire Donbas will be captured before December.
- The encirclement of Zaporizhia city will begin within 6 weeks
-Unless Ukraine gets a massive wave of help from the west, I find it hard to believe that they can take any major cities back, and now with mobilisation taking place its even more unlikely.
