Zelenskiy, Kiev in Quicksand
Maidan Ukraine’s battlefronts and army are collapsing. Regime is shaking, and the state could be next.
As warned, Maidan Ukraine’s battlefronts are collapsing and so is its army. The Maidan regime and Ukrainian state could follow next if peace does not come by any other path than a Russian military victory that destroys the Ukrainian army. The battlefronts’ collapse has been plain to see for the entire year, despite the massive Western media cover up and denial. Pokrovsk is now taken. Myrnograd is surrounded. Kupyansk is encricled and being occupied. Gulyai Pole, Lyman, Siversk, will be surrounded and probably taken by year’s end. Kramatorsk and Slovansk will be early next year. Russian forces will then have a clear, relatively easy march to Dnieper in east central Ukraine and to Zaporozhe and Dnipro and across the Dmieper in the south. Late next year, all of eastern Ukraine could be occupied by Russian forces. Meanwhile, the army is suffering accelerating mass desertions, with 320,000 since the war began; more than 160,000 this year alone; and a record 21,000 in October, according to the Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s Office (GPO).
As also warned, the front and army collpases would be followed by the collapse of the Maidan regime and its replacement by a neofascist or more moderate professional military junta and/or chaos and civil war, perhaps backed or instigated by Western powers. The kind of regime split preceding a regime collapse appears to be underway, if not any already existing one intensifying. I have written numerous times about the small civil-military conflict represented by that between President Volodomyr Zelenskiy and Kiev’s ambassodor to the UK and former commanderof the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhniy.
