News leaked out from various sources that Ukraine’s 44-year-old President Volodynyr Zelensky has lost most the Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, prompted the New York Times to write more fake news talking up Ukraine’s progress. New York Times announced today that a Ukrainian counteroffensive has reclaimed towns-and-village near Kherson, the port city taken over by the Russian Federation. New York Times cites no sources in claiming that a successful counteroffensive proves that Zelensky’s forces are making real progress against the Russian Federation. Daily reports from the White House and New York Times talks about massive Russian losses in terms of troops and heavy equipment, suggesting the Russian military was nearing defeat. Months of those reports about the dilapidated and demoralized Russian army, gave way recently to admissions of Ukraine losing the Black Sea coast.
New York Times report doesn’t mention the names of the so-called towns-and-villages recaptured when, in reality, Russian troops left the area long ago. But God forbid the public ever gets the truth about Ukraine’s devastating losses on territory in the last 12 weeks. Recent reports of the Kremlin taking over the strategic Black Sea coast had to be offset with more fake news. Times story suggests that Ukraine has turned the corner on reclaiming lost territory, when in fact they’re reclaiming minor towns-and-villages away from the strategic Black Sea coast. Ukaine’s regional Kherson military association chief Hennadiy Lahuta refused to name the towns-and-village recaptured because it’s inconsequential territory left long ago by Russian troops as they marched toward the coast. State Department officials leaked the story to the Times with the intent of countering bad publicity about Ukraine’s catastrophic losses.
New York Times cites no authoritative sources saying the Ukrainian counteroffensive threatens to take away a strategic highway used by Russian forces to re-supply troops. Washington’s highly dubious source the Institute for the Study of War, led by 75-year-old Gen. Jack Keane, claims Ukraine could disrupt Russian supply lines. “Ukrainian forces are likely still close enough to the highway to disrupt the use as a main supply route, potentially undermining Russians’ ability to hold against Ukrainian counteroffensives from the north,” said the Institute. Keane, a regular Fox News military analyst, talks up Ukraine’s progress but refuses to publish its maps of Russian-controlled territory telling a different narrative Keane produces the maps of Russian-controlled territory but doesn’t show them because it doesn’t fit the fake White House and Kiev narrative of winning the war.
Hearing about the vast Ukrainian counteroffensive gives Kiev and Washington exactly what they need to hear now that it’s leaked out that Zelensky lost almost the entire Black Sea coast to Russia. Talking about a new counteroffensive attempts to challenge recent factual leaks that expose catastrophic Ukrainian losses on the Black Sea coast. American Enterprise Institute, parent company of Keane’s Institute, should talk with him about covering-up Ukrainian losses on the Black Sea coast. Taking over unnamed villages-and-towns speak volumes about how the White House works with the New York Times to buffalo the American public. If the American public knew that U.S. taxpayers footed the bill for the bankrupt Ukrainian government, in addition to paying for the war, they wouldn’t be happy. Any real facts that Zelensky has lost massive Ukrainian territory to the Kremlin wouldn’t play well.
Unless Hennadiy Lahuta, head of Kherson’s military association, names the village-and-towns, Russia most likely abandoned areas left by the Russian Federation. Calling Ukraine’s progress a counteroffensive give hope to millions of Ukrainians looking for anything positive. For Ukraine’s military to mount a real counteroffensive, they would have retake major ports like Odessa, Kherson and Mairupol. Calling mopping up villages-and-towns a counteroffensive, continue to obscure the dismal reality that Zelensky, as commander-in-chief, has lost most of Ukraine’s coastline. In any other scenario, Zelensky would have been fired long ago but serves as a proxy for President Joe Biden’s proxy war against the Russian Federation. Zelensky doesn’t have much more time to reclaim Ukraine’s lost coast. At some point, Biden will admit that the war has gone badly for Ukraine.
Zelensky keeps talking about war atrocities, accusing Putin of war crimes, while he prosecutes his war against the Kremlin. No one understands how taking on the Russian army was a good idea for the U.S. or Ukraine. When you look at 12 weeks of losses in Ukraine, it hardly looks like Biden and Zelensky’s narrative that the dilapidate and demoralized Russian army has accomplished so much. Putin left Kiev to consolidate his forces in the costal Donbas region where Russia has made up such large ground. If Zelensky wants his grain exports to go out of Odessa or other Ukrainian ports, he’ll have to go to Istanbul, sign a ceasefire deal and show Moscow how the sanctions can end. Biden said yesterday he gave Ukraine advanced rocket systems to put pressure on Russia at the peace table. Biden’s got it backwards, the pressure now is all on Kiev to makes concessions to the Kremlin.
