Russia is readying its forces for the final push that should deliver the final punch to a tottering Ukrainian army. It truly is only a matter of time. For month after month for the past year Russians have been volunteering to join the Russian military at a rate around 1,500 per day. These new recruits are not sent immediately to the battlefield but have been in training for a great many months. This gives the Russian army strength in depth. Compare this with the Ukrainian regime that is having to drag men forcibly from the streets, some of them very elderly indeed and bring convicts from Ukrainian jails, giving them a week or two’s training then sending them to fight Russia’s highly professional and extremely well-trained army.
The western powers keep throwing money at a problem that has been growing worse day by day for the last year, ever since the failure of Ukraine’s big offensive which was a total flop. No amount of money, weapons or ammunition will help when the best of the Ukrainian army have left the battlefield over the last 30 months, dead and wounded. Russia has a constant supply of volunteers while Ukraine is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Add to this sorry outlook the increasing numbers of Ukrainian men risking death and injury trying to escape over the Romanian or Hungarian border to avoid being sent to die at the front.
While this unfolding disaster takes place Zelensky clings on to power even though he can no longer claim to be the legitimate president of Ukraine. His term of office has now run its course and the Ukrainian constitution does not include any provision allowing him to remain in place. He knows that as soon as he exits and new elections are held the people of Ukraine will reject any candidate for the presidency that advocates continuing this war. The government that follows his administration of comedy club cronies will seek peace and he knows this also. As do the Americans, British and Europeans. Zelensky is still in place largely due to the need of his western sponsors to keep the war going in the vain hope that somehow, some way the tide will turn and Russia will be defeated.
The magical thinking of the concept above along with the need to kick the can further down the road past November in the hope Biden gains a second term is the final, desperate action of a fast failing western plan regarding Ukraine. As we greet 2025 it must surely become clear to all and sundry that the hugely misguided venture to use Ukraine to undermine Russia has backfired in spectacular fashion. All that will be left for the western sponsors of this incredibly reckless, foolhardy and ultimately disastrous policy will be humiliation and the blackest of all possible marks against all their names in the annals of future historians.
And Zelensky, what of him? Where can this rat who refuses to leave his sinking ship flee to? Israel perhaps? The USA? Who will have him? Will there be any among the hordes of misguided sycophants left to harbour such an enormously disgraced individual, destroyer of his nation? No doubt there will be those who, offered a vast amount taken from that pilfered from the billions transferred from the West to Ukraine, will maintain secrecy regarding the whereabouts of the fugitive. That he will be a broken man cannot be in doubt. A man filled with regrets at every level. A man who threw away a career in comedy that gained him the love and respect of the majority of Ukrainians who trusted that his election promise to bring peace would be fulfilled. His name, in Ukraine, will elicit then nothing more than spit on the ground and a snarl of absolute hatred. And he will deserve all that is coming to him, bereft of all but his stolen cash, wealth that will never fill the ever-widening black hole in his heart.
