Next puppet leader for Ukraine is being prepared in London by MI6 ... oligarchy rules Kyiv today.
On eve of his firing Zaluzhny takes selfie with leader of far-right Right Sector & commander of Right Sector brigade of Ukrainian military in front of portrait of Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera.
Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's former armed forces chief and current ambassador to Britain, said in Brussels the United States was "destroying" the current world order.
Ukraine's former army chief and current ambassador to the United Kingdom issued a blunt warning, saying: "Washington is already trying to shift the burden of Europe's security to European forces - without the United States of America. Such moves probably give rise to the assumption that NATO may cease to exist in the near future."

Miscalculation May Lead to A New Crimean War | by Oui on 27 Feb. 2014 |
US national security adviser Susan Rice has already warned Russia against sending troops into the Ukraine. But what about the sailors at the base in Crimea? They're already there.
Not to Reason Why: A New Crimean War?
The Russian-speaking population of the Crimean Peninsula in the Ukraine is upset by the popular movement rightwing or neo-Nazis in the west of the country (Lvov) that has overthrown president Viktor Yanukovych and is said to be forming militias.
What Crimea is best remembered for in the West is the Crimean War of the 1850s. Is there a parallel to today's tensions? The conflict was initially between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. In some ways some roots of the conflict lay in Ottoman Jerusalem in the 1840s and early 1850s, where Russia perceived that its claim on dominance of the holy places there through its Eastern Orthodox clients were being set aside by the Sultan in favor of those of the French and their Roman Catholic clients. Russia also coveted the Balkans and Istanbul (the Byzantium of the Eastern Roman Empire). When a conflict broke out between the princes of the Principalities (now Romania), who were nominally Ottoman vassals, and the sultan, the Russian backed the princes and sent in troops. Then it seemed Russia might fight all the way down to Istanbul and take it.
The Russian Bear - Prisoner of Geography
It is no coincidence that the bear is the symbol of this immense nation. There it sits, sometimes hibernating, sometimes growling, majestic, but ferocious. Bear is a Russian word, but the Russians are also wary of calling this animal by its name, fearful of conjuring up its darker side. They call it medved, 'the one who likes honey'. At least 120,000 of these medveds live in a country which bestrides Europe and Asia. To the west of the Ural Mountains is European Russia. To their east is Siberia, stretching all the way to the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Even in the twenty-first century, to cross it by train takes six days. Russia's leaders must look across these distances, and differences, and formulate policy accordingly; for several centuries now they have looked in all directions, but concentrated mostly westward.
When writers seek to get to the heart of the bear they often use Winston Churchill's famous observation of Russia, made in 1939: 'It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma', but few go on to complete the sentence, which ends, 'but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.'

NATO’s War – Command Operations Center In Wiesbaden
Ukraine’s Secret NATO War Room Exposed | Zaluzhnyi Reveals Wiesbaden Command Hub |
Ukraine’s former top commander, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, has confirmed the existence of a covert NATO-backed military command center in Wiesbaden, Germany. Known only to a select few until now, this secret hub has been instrumental in shaping Ukraine’s battlefield strategies against Russia. Originally a logistics outpost in 2022, the Wiesbaden base—located at the U.S. Army’s Clay Kaserne—evolved into a cutting-edge war room coordinating operations with U.S., UK, and NATO partners. From planning counteroffensives in Kharkiv and Kherson to integrating high-tech weaponry like HIMARS, this hidden facility has played a crucial role in Ukraine’s military resilience. Zaluzhnyi’s revelation also comes as geopolitical tensions rise, with Russia accusing NATO of escalating the war and the U.S. under President Trump sending mixed signals on future support. Why is Zaluzhnyi speaking now? Is this a move to reinforce Western commitment—or a bid to shape his legacy as a wartime strategist?
Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's ‘Iron General’ Who Saw Russia's Invasion Coming And Prepared For It | 5 Feb. 2023 |
.
According to Piotr Kaszuwara, the President of UA Future Foundation, who has been delivering humanitarian aid to the frontlines since the beginning of the war, the situation in Ukraine's East has deteriorated significantly. The Russians are pursuing a strategy of small but persistent gains in Donbas, cutting off Ukrainian forces' access to key transit routes. Losing control of them forces a retreat from significant positions. In addition to resisting the Russians, wherever possible Ukrainian troops are working to evacuate civilians, some of whom still hold out hope that the war will pass them by and fail to leave in time.

Russian forces are advancing at will take the key city of Pokrovsk at any moment | Simplicius |
Let's briefly cover the frontline advances we didn't get to last time.
Russian forces have continued to make gains on the western Zaporozhye front, past the newly-captured Kamyanske ...
Footage emerged of the Russian 70th Regiment of the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division taking the eastern part of Mala Tokmachka ...
The most interesting developments occurred just north of there in the embattled Pokrovsk zone.
First, Russian DRGs have already been confirmed as operating deep inside the city, wreaking total havoc on Ukrainian communications and rear lines. AFU units complain of a big uptick in friendly fire as they skittishly react to every sight and sound.
The video which made the rounds several days ago and began the big infiltration scare was the following--showing a Ukrainian unit deep inside Pokrovsk getting ambushed while driving down the road.
Zaluzhny also made interesting statements in a new interview, including that since late 2023, Russia Ukraine patriots have shifted fully to an attritional style warfare, and that in his view the war may now last until 2034:
‼️ 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Ukraine has entered a new phase: The war could last until 2034, - former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, ambassador to Britain Zaluzhny
➖"Ukraine has entered a new phase. If we only try to achieve a ceasefire without forming our defense for the future, it will last a long, long time. It started in 2014, and God willing, it will end in 2034," Zaluzhny said.
▪️He noted that the "old" war ended at the end of 2023, and now Russia is using a tactic of positional attrition - not to advance, but to destroy the Ukrainian army.
▪️At the same time, he believes that neither Ukraine nor Russia has enough people for such a war.

He mentions carrying out systematic defenses, here's a new video of one of the big defensive lines said to be under construction along the Dnipropetrovsk border and beyond. One can see how primitive labor is being used, but that the scale of the anti-tank ditches is growing nonetheless.
One of the things the situation also denotes is that Pokrovsk no longer even has a fully-fledged defense, and is to some extents a gray zone where Russian DRGs or Spetsnaz are already able to operate freely.
What helped facilitate these successes was the other big success on Pokrovsk's northern side. The day before yesterday Russian forces broke through in the areas circled in red, according to some sources cutting the key highway leading out of Nove Shakhove, or at minimum placing it under drone fire control.
Interestingly, just as this happened, a mandatory emergency evacuation was announced for a batch of cities just to Pokrovsk's north.

Peaceful Competition: Vice President Nixon’s Mission to Moscow | 26 March 2014 |
Most neglected is Vice President Nixon’s 1959 trip to the Soviet Union and, as Gellman further observed, “No scholar has evaluated the significance of that mission to Russia and Poland.” While it is not feasible to investigate all of the intricacies of the Russia trip in this entry, the Vice President’s reflections on the need for “peaceful competition” with the Soviet Union bear an uncanny resemblance to his Presidential orchestration of détente based on strategic interests.
One clue to the Vice President’s analysis is the oft ignored article he wrote for National Geographic which reflects his refined assessment of U.S.-Soviet relations. Titled “Russia as I Saw it,” the Vice President recounted a remarkable eleven day trip in which he openly visited various venues and studiously probed the economic, cultural, and social structure of the Soviet Union.
