Pepe Escobar, The Saker: The Kharkov game-changer
Wars are not won by psyops. Ask Nazi Germany. Still, it’s been a howler to watch NATOstan media on Kharkov, gloating in unison about “the hammer blow that knocks out Putin”, “the Russians are in trouble”, and assorted inanities.
Facts: Russian forces withdrew from the territory of Kharkov to the left bank of the Oskol river, where they are now entrenched. A Kharkov-Donetsk-Luhansk line seems to be stable. Krasny Liman is threatened, besieged by superior Ukrainian forces, but not lethally.
No one – not even Maria Zakharova, the contemporary female equivalent of Hermes, the messenger of the Gods – knows what the Russian General Staff (RGS) plans, in this case and all others. If they say they do, they are lying.

WNU Editor: I personally believe that the Russian military retreat from Kharkiv was a major setback for Russia. It showed how over-extended the Russian military is with the current force deployment in Ukraine, and it put into question President Putin's strategy on how to fight this war from even his most loyal supporters.
Having said that .... others disagree.
In the above post Pepe Escobar makes the case that the Western media's attention on this front of the war is ignoring the bigger picture which is the enormous loss of men and material on the Ukrainian side, and Russia's continued advances in the Donbas where much of Ukraine's and Russia's top military forces are now fighting.
Needless to say. The above post is a must read.
