France 24: Putin sees gains on eastern Ukraine front lines, including Avdiivka  

Russian forces have made gains in their Ukraine offensive, President Vladimir Putin said Sunday, including in Avdiivka, a symbolic industrial hub where fighting has been fierce.  

"Our troops are improving their position in almost all of this area, which is quite vast," he said in an interview on Russian television, an extract of which was posted on social media on Sunday. 

 "This concerns the areas of Kupiansk, Zaporizhzhia and Avdiivka," Putin said, praising the army's "active defence strategy". 

On Saturday, Kyiv reported "very heated" fighting around Avdiivka Saturday, saying Russian forces had "not stopped assaulting" it for days in their attempt to surround it.

As to what is my take. Ukraine's ability to continue the war as they have in the past year appears to be over. The Ukraine military is now in a defensive posture, and even Ukraine's Finance Minister is admitting that their money will be running out in the coming weeks .... West 'tired' of Ukraine, Zelensky's finance minister admits (RT).

If he said it then it must be true. Why would he lie to us?

Usually he does not. Most of what he says over the last 10 to 20 years has been true. Read his past speeches. It is surprisingly honest.

I guess this is why G.I. Joe surprised everyone at NATO HQ last week.

Full blown genocide now happening to Ukraine. Not by Russia, but by NATO ordering them to the frontlines to fight their war for them
