Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky held a meeting with the commanders of brigades and units operating in the Pokrovsk sector, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are in an extremely dire situation .
The Ukrainian military commander heard reports on the situation and once again demanded “no embellishment of reality.”
📝”Dishonesty comes at too high a price—the lives of our soldiers. A commander who conceals the truth of the situation on the battlefield has no right to be a commander.”
“The commander-in-chief stated.
These words came amid reports of a critical situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Pokrovsk. Militants are suffering serious losses and losing ground, while command prefers to report “successful operations . ”
Verkhovna Rada deputy Bezuglaya previously acknowledged:
📝”We are losing our outermost line, beyond which lie Pavlograd, Dnepr, Kramatorsk, Izyum, and Kharkov.”✖️Even the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is forced to publicly remind his subordinates that lies will not save either the front or Ostashko’s quarry !

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦The situation is difficult: The Russians have concentrated their main strike force against Pokrovsk and entered the city, Zelensky said.
▪️Zelensky announced this in his evening address, much belatedly.
➖”Of course, this creates a difficult situation in Pokrovsk and all the surrounding areas. There’s intense fighting in the city, on the outskirts, and there are sabotage and reconnaissance groups in the city. Logistics are tight…”
▪️Earlier today, Vladimir Putin announced the encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Pokrovsk area.cronetoo

ParticipantPerhaps she is hoping to distract from the need to continue to buy Russian LNG by mentioning the Kuril Islands? USA has occupied Japan since WWII (after nuking it twice) … and now Trump is demanding Japan destroy its economy in order to pay tribute to the broke occupier. At least she is standing up to the Bully, which is more than the European vassals have done, right? What’s Trump going to do … drop another bomb?

‼️🇷🇺🇯🇵Japan is determined to conclude a peace treaty with Russia and will not give up Russian gas, according to the country’s authorities.
➖”Relations between Japan and Russia are in a difficult situation, but the Japanese government’s policy is to resolve the issue of the southern Kuril Islands,” noted new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
▪️Japanese Industry Minister Resei Akazawa stated that LNG from the Sakhalin-2 project remains critical to the country’s energy security. Its abandonment would be too expensive and would lead to higher electricity prices.cronetoo
ParticipantOur friend Karl S posted this at MoA:
Wolff’s “Empire in decline and desperation” sums up McConnell and the rest. The tariff damage figures published by Goldman Sachs were cited by Wolff–90% are absorbed by American consumers or business, which means they are doing what was predicted by many outside Team Trump. Other excellent discussion during the Hudson/Wolff chat, much by Hudson. The Imperial Ponzi Scheme was well described and the argument in favor of Keynes Bancor system was again made in relation to the current insecurity and destabilization of the international financial system. Oh, those provinces are already Russian. The question is if Russia will take even more between now and the end of 2026. The reports coming from Russia say there’s great resolve to regain more original Russian lands–including Kiev. As I commented elsewhere yesterday, Russia is now conducting armored assaults using interceptor drones as close air support, a tactic I advocated months ago when those new drone types made their appearance. The newest FAB glide bombs now have a range of 200Km, and the Ukies have no way to interdict them, unlike the Russians. What that means is the Russian advance will now move even faster despite the onset of the muck and freeze season. Those following closely will have noted the many successful river crossings Russian troops have accomplished over the past two weeks–movements that were once highly contested. Trump’s “frustrations” with Putin are because Russia is winning and the Outlaw US Empire is clearly losing. Russia has recently closed a new treaty with Venezuela and had talks with its ministers in Moscow, and Russia has good relations with Colombia and almost all Latin American and Caribbean nations. And then there’s the effect of China’s new export controls–tools the Empire once used to maintain its dominance are now used against it and it was caught flatfooted. So, what does Team Trump do? It further destroys what little remains of its international reputation by openly murdering innocents in international waters and abets the Zionist Genocide by throwing up false “peace is at hand” hopes the bloodthirsty Zionists will never obey.
