Western mainstream press such as the New York Times was forced to admit as much not that long ago in a recent piece. The paper wrote in October: ‘“The front line, after months of grueling combat and heavy casualties, remains largely unchanged” because Ukrainian forces have had a difficult time trying to cross wide-open fields in the southern region of the country.’
Marina Miron, a postdoctoral researcher in war studies at King’s College London, told the NYT that her hypothesis is that Russia will continue to sweat out the West until it “turns it back” on Ukraine.
The whole strategy in Ukraine is for the Russians to let the Ukrainians run against those defenses, kill as many as possible, and destroy as much Western equipment as possible.
She explained
Russian President Vladimir Putin has already been saying the counteroffensive had failed for months prior. In September, for example, he called the counteroffensive a “failure.”
At least, this is how it looks today. Let’s see what happens next. I hope this will continue to be the case.
They are throwing [Ukrainian soldiers] on our minefields, under our artillery fire, acting as if they are not their own citizens at all. It is astonishing.
Putin said
More recently Putin reemphasized Ukraine’s failure to breach Russian occupied frontlines of defense.
As for the counteroffensive that is allegedly stalling – it has failed completely.
[Kiev is] still preparing new active offensive operations. We see that. We know that. And we’re reacting to that appropriately.As for what’s happening now along the whole length of the contact line, it’s called active defense and our [Russian] forces are improving their positions almost everywhere in this area.
He told Russian media
Based on reports and some intel collected from military analysts, Ukraine has reportedly lost well-over 400,000 men at this point in the conflict; a significant number of deaths that cannot be sustained.
Weeb Union has also explained in a series of videos that Ukrainians are routinely being ordered to head straight into a ‘meatgrinder’ to get slaughtered, with Russian forces starting to mobilize further into Ukraine.
Furthermore, Ukrainian leadership is starting to acknowledge the reality that Western backing is really beginning to fizzle-out.
Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergey Marchenko spoke at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank meetings in Marrakech, Morocco, where he admitted as much.
[Kiev is having to make] twice the effort right now to convince our partners to provide us with support compared to the last annual meetings [in spring].I see a lot of tiredness, I see a lot of weakness among our partners, they would like to forget about the war but the war is still ongoing, full-scale.
He said
He went on to reference the shift in the narrative focused on the Israel-Hamas war, highlighting “a geopolitical shift and internal political context in different countries,” he said.
‘Kiev currently needs Western financial support to cover most of its $43 billion budget spending requirements in 2024,’ RT reports.
We already have some commitments, like $5.4 billion from the IMF program, and we expect commitments from Japan and United Kingdom, and of course, we rely on our key partners and allies the United States and European Union.
Marchenko explained
This past week Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lamented that attention was being drawn away from Ukraine.
There is a risk that international attention will turn away from Ukraine, and that will have consequences.[The tragedies affecting Ukraine and Israel] are different, but both are immense.
He said
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
Proverbs 27:14
The Ukrainian leadership, Zelensky included, is realizing that he is nothing more than a pawn to be scarified at the hands of NATO and the military industrial complex. If he surrenders than the rapid far-right Neo-Nazis that run that country will kill him, but he continues to hold it out and follow NATO’s bidding, more Ukrainians will die and he will eventually have to flee to his private beach hut somewhere secluded.
Because Ukraine is getting trounced, unsurprisingly, this latest Israeli war is great deterrent for a bit. That being said, unless something changes soon, expect more continued funding to Ukraine once a new House Speaker for the U.S. is selected.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Good! Maybe Russia can rampage that Godless nation of Ukraine and conquer that land.
Maybe this verse can apply. Jacob, counsel me:
Jeremiah 5:10
“Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’S.”
Counsel me as in tell me if I’m wrong right or wrong.
No, it didn’t fail. It served to blind & indoctrinate, to transfer wealth & to kill people very well. As for Russia, they cleansed all of their legitimate Christians that they could with the help of corporate monies laundered & strategically inserted by the ‘Foundations’ & United Nations governments in collusion, & now Orthodox Eastern Romanism is on the rise& marches with its other leg of Western Romanism, & their twin sisters Islam & antichrist Dragon China. Some of them do so openly antichrist & playing God as ‘atheists’ & willfully blind & not-knowing ‘agnosticism’, while others claim the ‘high moral ground’ & to be ‘Christian’ in the right arm of Romish ecumenism that is nothing but idolatrous ecumenical anitichrist humanism & a regurgitation of the ancient high places & Asherah/Queen of Heaven, Tammuz garbage. Nothing to do with the preserved word of God & certainly not submitted to, or quickened, by it. Repeating the errors of the Jews, reaping the same judgments of God. Romans 11 KJB.

They are joining in jihad & crusade against Israel with the Roman re-invented Philistines as written & as foreshadowed through the long centuries of Roman corruption out from Alexandria, Egypt & Babylon: the Palestinians & their ‘allies’. Another people used as pawns by the powers that shouldn’t be and which are suffered of God merely as rods of judgment, the majority of those people indoctrinated in hate & evil so as to be ‘useful’ in their destruction, but not ‘helped’ in any way, not given asylum in the insane spirit Jew-hating, God-hating, King James Bible-hating nations with all their big talk & self-righteous blather, philosophy & traditions. The deceiving and being deceived of 2 Timothy 3 KJB.
–
Where is the true Gospel & Christ, the Book, in any of it on the side of the majority of mankind? God is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish, but there comes that point he gives people over to their desire& destruction, to wallowing in their bitterness & puffed up self-righteousness of the latter days confusion: hating & being hated. Oh, yay.

There may be a sprinkling of saved souls in the midst, pilgrims passing through, slandered, misunderstood & receiving of the world the same treatment their master & Lord did in his incarnation, whose hope is not in this dying or the idolatry & craft of ‘self-transformation’, but in the eternal to come & the Lord of lords and King of kings & his holy power; but overall the shepherds of the nations are inspired by & allied with the same wicked spirit & inner core of Rome, and the people love their idolatries & delectable things as dogs eating their vomit & pigs returned to the slop & mire. Isaiah 44 KJB. Ezekiel 38-39 KJB. 2 Peter 2&3; Jude KJB. MYSTERY BABYLON and Laodicea. Revelation 17-18, Revelation 3 KJB.

The beleaguered Armenians are caught up in the mess yet again as Azerbaijan fails, & who in the ‘Christian’ world cares or raises a cry of protest or resistance? Nothing, nada, zilch: it’s not about the Lord or his word with these people, it’s all about seizing & controlling oil and the raw materials for drugs, & the indirect wealth, ease & control of ‘managing’ sin at the expense of others which is mainly winked at, with a few involving themselves in humanist do-gooder works & rhetoric to salve their consciences short of true remorse, broken & convicted by the Schoolmaster grace of Law, & the grace of God that comes to repentance not to be repented of which alone ends in the new birth of God’s power, 2 Corinthians 5 new man salvation. They refuse to crucify the flesh, to circumcise their pride, or to humble themselves, but instead magnify their pride in bitterness as Cain, & drag the corruption & spiritual corpse around to reap the whirlwind & eternal death.

Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of, but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Amen brother, I couldn’t have said it better.
