ALARMING!: Ukraine's Defences Just Collapsed in 7 Days

#russia has achieved another significant #breakthrough in the #donbas region against what #ukraine journalist Yuri Butusov described as poorly organised #ukrainian #brigades while the Russians were moving toward the key logistical hub of #pokrovsk. In a span of just seven days, it is reported by the daily #telegraph that the Russian Armed Forces were able to advance 4 miles along a railway that leads to Pokrovsk. This comes on the heels of several villages such as #prohres falling to Russia. Mr Butusov reports that the ukrainian brigades were so poorly commanded that their electronic warfare systems jammed their own #drones. Despite this setback, the commander in chief, General #syrsky spoke to the #guardian newspaper of the #uk and claimed that Ukraine can still win and reach #crimea. The majority of the article however, consisted of the General speaking of how much better trained, manned and armed the Russian army is. More notably, he admitted that the Russian army had swelled from the 100,000 man #army they started off with in February 2022 to a whopping 520,000 man force that may reach 690,000 by end of this year. Meanwhile, Ukraine's number one supplier, the #usa is in chaos in their election campaign after #biden withdrew from the candidacy and his #vp #kamalaharris was appointed in what the #newyorktimes described as an undemocratic process that is more consistent with #autocratic states. Nothing seems to be going well for Ukraine. Moreoever, the Russian strategy in #donetsk seems to remain focused on #demilitarisation rather than terrritorial gain and it is casuing massive #casualties for Ukraine.
