| It is impossible to win: the West is preparing for the surrender of Ukraine |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Kirill Strelnikov [RIA] For us, the question of victory over the Kyiv regime has never been raised: we will definitely win, and all the goals of the NWO will be achieved sooner or later. But the West, which for many years was preparing an anti-Russian foothold and free "meat" from Ukraine, at the beginning of the NMD was absolutely sure of the imminent and humiliating crushing of Russia with the help of multi-billion dollar aid to Kiev and the supply of a record number of modern weapons. For quite a long time, the Western media maintained the appearance that the Marquise was doing well, but in the end it became impossible to pull an invisible dress on a naked king, and somewhere in high Washington offices, a decision was recently made to launch Operation Y and prepare their audience for the inevitable outcome. It is amusing to watch how the narrative in the Western media, which has long been kept in states of "euphoria", "anger" and "denial", before our eyes quickly turns into "acceptance" and "bargaining". We are already accustomed to the work of the Western media according to a single methodology, and, apparently, over the past two weeks, it has come to everyone, as a result of which most of the leading online publications in Europe and the United States have published publications with very characteristic messages. The Telegraph : The icing on the cake was an article under the eloquent title "Why is it almost impossible for Ukraine to win the war now?" where for a Western audience it is laid out on the shelves why this circus needs to be turned off and calmly move on. First, the US and NATO are more afraid of a war on their territory than of Russia's territorial acquisitions. Russia already controls almost 20 percent of Ukraine's land, and this proportion is likely to increase in the future. Secondly, Russia has destroyed about 70 percent of Ukraine's infrastructure, and it is almost impossible to restore it. Thirdly, the Russian army has a large number and significant mobilization potential. She has more than 4000 combat-ready tanks, which are ready to go on the offensive at any moment. Fourth, Ukraine is running out of soldiers. A huge part of the population fled abroad. After the eighth wave of mobilization, men over 60 are taken to the front. Fifthly, Russia can emerge from this war not only as a military, but also as a political winner. The current situation and the state of Western support inevitably lead to negotiations. The final touch to the above revelations may be the evolution of views in the top US military leadership. For example, in January of this year, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milley, foaming at the mouth, stated that "Ukraine will conduct a significant tactical or front-line operation and liberate as much territory as possible." He had another punched card inserted last week, and now he says that "Ukraine can achieve these goals - perhaps, probably - through some diplomatic means." We can congratulate the American generals and the authors of the manuals for the Western media on the fact that the obvious is beginning to dawn on them. But we have bad news for them: while they are slowly preparing their audience for negotiations and "difficult decisions", it may turn out that there will be no one to negotiate in Ukraine, and even if there is someone, then a truce is a topic for discussion will not be accurate. |

| #3 Ukrainian troops 'break through toughest Russian lines' Ukrainian forces have broken through the most difficult line of Russian defences in the south and should be able to advance more quickly now, a commander on the southern front has claimed. “We don’t stop here,” a commander who led some of the troops into Robotyne told Reuters. Kyiv said on Wednesday that its troops had raised the national flag in the settlement of Robotyne in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, about six miles south of the Orikhiv frontline. “Next we have Berdiansk, and then more. I made it clear to my fighters at once: our goal is not Robotyne, our goal is (the Sea of) Azov.” Reaching the Sea of Azov would sever Russia’s land route between occupied Crimea and Donetsk. “We have passed the main roads that were mined. We are coming to those lines where we can go (forward). I’m sure we’ll go faster from here,” said the commander, who goes by the nom de guerre “Skala”. |

| #2 According to multiple sources, Ukrainian forces have gained tactically significant ground in western Zaporizhia Oblast, but there is no confirmation if they have completely breached the most challenging series of Russian defensive positions yet. While Ukrainian forces have entered areas where they encountered only Russian logistics groups. It remains to be seen if they can penetrate the Russian heavily fortified positions with its well-trained Russian soldiers. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-august-26-2023 |
