Privately Everyone Admits Ukraine is at a Stalemate Position – Publicly Western Govt Must Retain Face
Speaking to our CTH audience following direct conversations in the EU, I can assure you that privately it is well known that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is at a designed stalemate. Russia has solidified the western frontlines in Ukraine in exactly the position originally intended. Additionally, the fortifications are of such strategic scale no one in the Western alliance would dare to propose any effort for direct confrontation.The Russian military have long ago positioned their strategic assets to take out any advanced armored columns. All of the primary routes for U.S. provided Ukrainian tank deployment have been field targeted by proactive artillery placement. Any advancing U.S/Ukraine armor would be walking directly into previously sighted positions. It is a literal stalemate with air combat as the only solution to break the hardened fortifications. The Russian air defenses are also positioned against this approach.

I follow this war very carefully from many different sources. This war is NOT a stalemate! Russia has militarily already won this war. The Ukrainians have been decimated. The proof is out there for anyone who wants to honestly look. Ukraine has really been reduced to a rump state. Putin is in the driver’s seat and in no hurry to settle anything. He knows he can’t trust the West when it comes to negotiating.
Describing this situation as a stalemate is pure nonsense. This is the United States’ way of putting lip stick on the pig. The Russian military has proven superior to the the West trained and supplied Ukraine army on almost every level. Russian ISR is second to “none”. A main reason for not sending F16s to Ukraine. They would not last very long.
Russian missile capability far exceeds anything we have provided the Ukrainians. The Kenzhal missiles are hyper sonic weapons the US has not yet developed. Super accurate and nuclear war head capable. On the other hand, HIMARS, Patriot systems, ATACMS, Bradley’s, Leopards, etc have proven ineffective.
Russia holds more than 20% of Ukraine’s prime real estate. Russia’s economy has done well in spite of useless US sanctions. Russia now has an army approaching 2 million. They have a thriving trade with most of the world’s largest countries.
Western political figures in the EU and the US have greatly toned down their rhetoric. A stalemate? Not hardly. It’s wishful thinking and propaganda.

reports from the frontline that confirm Ukraine’s usage of artillery, drones, etc., has dropped precipitously. Correspondents on the Russian frontline have outright said it looks like Ukraine is conserving ammo heavily right now. A video from two days ago shows a Russian soldier on the Avdeevka front confirming this:

Avdeeka is ready to fall. They are now cut off, The Russians have entered the city from the North and South Rumors are the Ukrainians in Avdeeka are negotiating a surrender with the Russians , there are unconfirmed videos of troops leaving last week .if the city falls , the moral of the Ukrainian soldiers will be lower than dogshit after the fall of Bakmut this year, the failed "spring offensive" the reduction of arms re-directed to Isreal , and the fall of Avdeeka, a long held strong point . Throw in a brutal winter storm and sprinke with artillery

Side bar.
The country side of Ukraine will take decades to rehabilitate from all the sprinkled artillery. In some places the blast craters have craters on top of more craters. IMO sorta sad to see.

That looks awful. Highly doubt they lived.
Ukraine is being decimated I genuinely feel for them. I wish they would negotiate while there is still something left to save. If this war goes on much longer they will be out of all able bodied male and females from 16-60. Good luck rebuilding after that.

More Russian propaganda from NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg
BRUSSELS — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned that the Western military alliance should be ready for bad news from the Ukrainian front as Kyiv continues to defend against Russia’s all-out invasion.
“Wars develop in phases,” Stoltenberg said in an interview Saturday with German broadcaster ARD. “We have to support Ukraine in both good and bad times,” he said.
“We should also be prepared for bad news,” Stoltenberg added, without being more specific.
His comments come as Western allies debate over ammunition and financial aid for Ukraine, and as Moscow boosts its troop levels. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Friday to increase the number of soldiers by some 170,000 to a total of 1.3 million.

Ukrainian teenagers going to their death for a lost cause
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called off a high-profile briefing with US lawmakers amid an impasse over future US funding for the country.
Virtual appearances in the Senate and House had been scheduled for Tuesday, but were cancelled at the last moment.
It came after a top Ukrainian official warned they are in danger of losing the war against Russia if more US military aid is not approved.
Zelensky abruptly cancels US Senate briefing amid funding row
The Ukrainian president pulled out of a briefing with senators debating more funds for Ukraine.
www.bbc.com
Mr Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said earlier on Tuesday there was a "big risk" of Ukrainian defeat without continued US support.
ZeGnida AKA #Zelensky suddenly decided to refuse to speak before the US Congress. And an hour before that, they announced that Congress had refused to allocate funds to #Kyiv.
On Monday, however, the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, seemed dismissive of the latest pleas to provide tens of billions of dollars more in funding.
"The Biden Administration has failed to substantively address any of my conference's legitimate concerns about the lack of a clear strategy in Ukraine, a path to resolving the conflict, or a plan for adequately ensuring accountability for aid provided by American taxpayers," he wrote on social media.
They will still probably get the money, but they know it only delays the inevitable .

She is probably a medic. There are only three people left who can move, the rest are wounded or killed. They told her to leave the wounded and get out of there. She refused. Very sad.
