The Ukrainian Operation - Day Four. The Advance Resumes

At the outset of the campaign, and repeated daily since, Vladimir Putin has called on the armed forces of Ukraine to stand aside and not follow the orders of the Banderist criminals in Kiev. Many Ukrainian regiments, sick to death of the terrible conditions, low pay, abuse and incompetent leadership in the Ukrainian army have done just that. Many border troops sought sanctuary in Russia on the first day of the war. Battalions in the front lines in the Donbass have defected to the republics. Whole units have surrendered to advancing Russian troops and been escorted to the rear.

After a futile round of desperate telephone calls to his western sponsors, which revealed to him the true vacuity of western promises, Ukrainian comedy president, Volodimyr Zelensky, reached out to Russia to seek negotiations. This was of course, too little, too late. The Russian side restated its long stated goals:

1. Ukrainian forces to immediately stop fighting
2. Ukraine to be disarmed and made neutral
3. Ukraine to be de-Nazified.

This was too much for Zelensky's sponsors who want to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, and Zelensky was forced to retract his offer in exchange for a bellicose call for Ukrainians' to take up arms in a war of national liberation, moments before he fled with his handlers for Lviv and - if he makes it - exile in the west, to console himself with the stolen billions he and his cronies have looted from Ukrainian's international loans. It is worth mentioning Ukraine's actual purpose in the modern political system - as a money laundering opportunity for international banking concerns and their political facilitators to steal the billions of dollars of foreign aid poured into Ukraine's reconstruction. Remember Hunter Biden.

Zelensky could never have been a negotiating partner with Russia any more than Heinrich Himmler could have been for the Reich 77 years ago, nevertheless, jaw-jaw is better than war-war. Putin called for a pause in the Russian advance, limiting offensive actions to those of necessity, in order to allow for saner heads to reach out. Unfortunately none did, so today the offensive is back on. In the west, the British state owned propaganda arm, the BBC, used the pause to claim that determined Ukrainian resistance had stopped the Russian advance. The incoherent and wild firefights between rival gangs in Kiev overnight do not represent anything resembling determined resistance. More evidence of the signs of internal collapse. Russian forces remain safely outside the city, able to observe and reconnoiter in force where necessary.

The propaganda war is in full swing. A fake video, recorded from a dog-fight simulator program, has been circulated claiming to show a Ukrainian Mig shooting down a Russian Sukhoi. The Ukrainian airforce was neutralised on Day One, destroyed on the ground with the exception of a single fighter which escaped to Romania.

17 European countries have closed their airspace to the Russian carrier, Aeroflot. Another token gesture that will have little material impact on Russia, but will result in significant costs to those countries. All western European carriers will need to follow longer, more expensive routes to bypass Russian airspace. Russian commentators have observed this is the beginning of an Iron Curtain 2.0, but in reverse. Russian government websites have been 'hacked' and bought down by the Anonymous Collective of cyber hackers. This is total bullshit. This is the action of western regimes to prevent their population reading the counter narrative and the claims of "Anonymous" is used as a smokescreen.

In the Kherson region, Russian sappers have unblocked the Perekop canal to reopen the water supply to Crimea. The Ukrainians had destroyed the canal in 2015.

The Nazis in Mariupol are preventing civilians from leaving the city in order to maximize the number of human shields in the city. These psychos have no concern for the lives of their fellow Ukrainians and, like the Volksturm in Germany in 1945 are murdering citizens for 'defeatism.' Mariupol has been cut off from the rest of Ukraine and shortly the Chechens will begin working through the city to exterminate the Azov. We can expect plenty of 'atrocity propaganda' from this front. Note, the video below is confronting.

The US has no illusions about Ukraine's ability to repel the Russian invasion but is counting on the creation of an insurgency war on Ukrainian territory. Consequently US and European allies have been pumping small-arms and shoulder fired anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons into the country. The US has been defeated in insurgency quagmires many times due its mismanagement of the occupation phase and it dreams that will create a quagmire for Russia. It fails to appreciate that Russia, unlike the US, learned from its experiences in Afghanistan and Chechnia and has a totally different approach to the post-war occupation that the United States. For the US strategy to succeed, they require a willing 'stay behind' force (aka 'werewolves') and this is the Nazi battalions. Hence Russia's insistence on de-Nazification. Special arrangements will be made to hunt down and exterminate these groups in the field, hence the arrival of Chechen special forces. These guys have a lot of experience in both Syria and Chechnia itself against die-hards.

Update 7pm WST

In response to Zelensky's call for negotiations on the 25th, Belarussian president Alexander Lukashenko organised a peace conference in Gomel in Belarus, just north of Kiev on the Belarussian-Ukrainian border. Vladimir Putin called a halt to the Russian advance and passage was agreed for Ukrainian negotiators through the lines. The Russian negotiating team has been awaiting the Ukrainian delegation in Gomel since Saturday and there has been no-show. As Lavrov observed, Ukrainian offers to negotiate by the current regime are neither sincere nor credible.

Russian military units have been seen in central Kharkov.

American war propaganda remains as pathetic and falsifiable as ever. The first American casualty in the war, professional 'activist' Bernie Gores has been killed again in Ukraine after being killed in Kabul, Afghanistan in August 2021. Winston Smith must be proud.
