Ukrainians are being encouraged to leave major cities like Kiev and Zaporozhye by Ukrainian authorities due to a national power emergency and encroaching Russian troops.

Zelensky would rather everyone in the entire country were homeless than admit it's over and come to terms with the Russians.

That's Hitler level irresponsibility towards the people he's supposed to be leading.

But remember, he is earning $50 million a month ($2 and a half billion to date) so I suppose there's always that to console him against the continuing human suffering.

Hard choices for sure, the people or the money

But it is Zelensky we’re talking about so the choice is obvious.

And it's not just the people, the country itself is fast approaching an existential moment.

The long awaited miracle is not going to happen it seems. The whole country is sliding into the abyss.

Zelensky is bringing in ever more hardliners into his government to try to shore up the sinking ship, not to save the people but rather to save the money supply.

Meanwhile the head of the Ukrainian army says the Russians are after Zaporozhye city and then Odessa, which is probably correct.

So long as Zelensky is determined to keep the money taps turned on, there's no reason for the Russians not to keep taking territory.

And in Europe, individual countries are not stepping up to raise bonds for Ukraine, and it turns out there's not much appetite in the bond markets for €90 billion worth of bonds backed by Ukraine, or if they can't repay, then by the Russian reparations once Ukraine wins the war.

So Ursula Van Der Moron has come up with a new plan to use, yes you guessed it, the Russian frozen assets as collateral, she has nothing else but dead horses to flog.

Unfortunately the retardery of these WEF plants in the EU knows no bounds.

And in the short video below a US colonel explains that with the Oreshnik missile strike recently Putin was not threatening but just giving a demonstration for NATO using a Ukrainian air force base.

Unfortunately Trump, Rubio and Hegseth are not bright enough to know the difference hence the likelihood is they will just try to continue to escalate instead of taking note of the message Putin is trying to relay.


Oreshnik Explained: The Weapon That Makes NATO's $3 Billion Defenses Completely Useless

The estimated total combat losses of the enemy
from 24.02.22 to 18.01.26 were approximately:
personnel – about 1,226,420 (+830) persons

Hope you watched the short video posted yesterday on what the Oreshnik missile system really means.

I said I doubted Western leaders would get it but the message is sinking in. France's Macron now saying ‘we need an Oreshnik type thing’.

Err, you don't say. The snag being is that you don't even have hypersonics yet. The West is waking up to the fact that they are literally decades behind the Russians, and so keeping on escalating by firing NATO missiles into Russia might not be such a great idea.

There's a news blackout from the latest Oreshnik target site, same as from the first one. ‘Nothing to see here, move along’.

You don't need to see, you just need math.

Same as Zelensky's casualty figures, 100,000 Ukrainians troops killed to 1,000,000 Russian.

But everyone agrees long-range fires account for 80% of casualties and the Russians have a 10 to 1 advantage in long-range fires, so then Zelensky's figures must be the wrong way around.

There are plenty of academic books on the subject of the impact force of a metallic projectile at high speed.

A 1kg metal weight hitting the ground at Mach 1 produces a crater that a man can stand in and not see over the rim.

Oreshnik is 36 x 100kg (est) metal projectiles travelling at Mach 10.

The resulting destructive force is on the scale of a small nuclear bomb but without the explosion or the mushroom cloud or the radiation fallout contamination.

Macron just figured out that the Russians could take out every NATO base in Western Europe in 6 minutes flat and, equally importantly, the general population would hardly notice, until they worked out they were now suddenly completely defenceless.

So the Russians just demonstrated again that they really, really do have escalation dominance so maybe NATO really should reconsider firing their comparatively pathetic little missiles into Russia.

And you still have these morons trying to tell everyone that the Russians are just bluffing - but how so? Why wouldn’t they start destroying NATO bases if NATO keeps firing missiles into Russia?

Russia can keep firing Oreshnik further and further west into NATO if the provocation from the West continues..

Why would America commit suicide by firing nukes at Russia in retaliation for Oreshnik strikes in central Europe? They know there would be nukes flying straight back at them if they did, so of course they won’t.

There is no longer any hope for Ukraine to survive as a country intact, it’s been that way for a while now but the US was, up until recently, managing to keep a very punch drunk Ukraine on its feet, but not any longer.

There is now a real shift in the politics going on. Ukraine itself ran out of any capacity to defend itself sometime ago. Western Europe was always all bluff and bluster, they never had the capacity to give any meaningful support to Ukraine, all they ever had was the Russian frozen assets and it seems they can’t even produce those at the 11th hour.

All the other countries around the world offering support could never actually stump up enough to make any real difference either.

So that left just the Americans, but they also have run into a brick wall. Initially they were all full of vim and vigour thinking they were way superior to the Russians, but then it all started to go wrong.

The Americans found that the Russians weren’t responding to threats and bullying and were just ploughing on regardless. So the US started upping the ante, but still no deferment.

It’s taken a while and has kept Ukraine propped up but the US has run out of escalation room and the Russians are still ploughing on.

And now, finally, the US has also run out of capacity and has suddenly got very bored with Project Ukraine. There seems to be much more interesting things happening elsewhere, anywhere elsewhere.

And so Zelensky is now saying he is ready to compromise but we all know Zelensky’s tactics by now, delay and buy time while demanding just a few more tens of billions of $$, something is bound to turn up after all.

And Witkoff and Trump’s son in law are maybe going back to Moscow but even Trump admitted he didn’t know what for, it’s not to give money or weapons or equipment, maybe it’s to tell Putin how sincere Zelensky is about giving up territory now that it’s obvious to the whole world that Russia will just take the Donbass and more besides, but Zelensky can never sign on the dotted line, at the end of the day it would be curtains for him personally.


And latest news, Ukrainian army chief Sirsky says that Russia aims to
form at least 11 new divisions and recruit 49,000 contract soldiers, and that In total, the Russian armoured forces have approximately 4.5 million trained reserve soldiers.

But not to worry, he also said that Ukraine will conduct offensive operations soon, because ... err, ‘you won't achieve victory on the defensive’.

Meanwhile Zelensky tells us that the Russians are planning to launch a massive missile and drone attack within the next 48 hours.

So all in all, everything's fine.
