More on the War against Ukraine

 Ukraine continues to fight both Putin And Trump. Europe has finally realized that USA is NOT negotiating for peace, rather trying to force Ukraine into giving up territory. 

Moral in the Russian army is at rock bottom. Rusia is losing 35,000 men per month and has lost 1.25 million since the war began. Ukraine is beginning to push back on the ground, but continues to lose the air war agains drones and missiles. No matter how often Ukrine hits drone or missile site, they keep coming. The electrical grid is being destroyed as fast as it can be repaired.

EU has sent generators with reinforced concrete covers to provide electricity to critical places such as hospitals. My step-son in Zhovti Vody reports 8 hours of electricity yesterday, up from 2 hours.

Ukraine's air war focuses on destroying Russian refineries, storage and transport, to cut off Russian revenue and ability to fuel their equipment. In some places gasoline is rationed. 

Here are a few articles to provide background and the current situation.

  1. The USA is nobody's friend or ally these days. NOBODY'S. Except Putin's, of course.
