Raphael, here is the coat of arms appearing on the “The Duran” website:

Here is the Russian coat of arms:

The bias is obvious; but then again, so is the pro-Ukrainian bias. For all those insisting that Ukraine (i. e. the Bidens, etc.) will be able to win the war, consider this:
1. We are pouring tens of billions of dollars into Ukraine, while our own southern border is undefended and millions of people, including the worst of drug smugglers and human trafficers, ar pouring into the US
2. While we are officially at “peace”, we lose more military-age Americans every six months to Chinese fentanyl and other chemical weapons, than over ten years of war in Vietnam.
3. Our government has declared war on its own citizens, declaring supporters of the political opposition to be the worst terrorist threat in history.
With all that going “for” us, I would think the Russians could defeat the Ukraine AND US in short order.
Jan,
Ukraine is now counterattacking with the likely intention of cutting off Izyum. I have been betting Ukraine would offer Russia a large and undeniable defeat by the morning of May 9. That looks very likely.
The Russians will not be doing any encircling.

I find talk fests not nearly as useful as maps. Day 69-70 is mapped by what seems a techie from Asia who uses all info available including on ground reports on social media to find out who is fighting where.

I am not sure your statement ‘9 days no significant advances’ is true – you may judge yourself. Some days nothing much happens. I would agree it is now so slow as to be boring, but a turtle will eventually cover much territory and they do it while the now bored pundits are looking elsewhere. When the shock is gone and daily reality sets in, fighting Russia becomes less important and when the momentum of public opinion is gone, there is only a brutal fight nobody much cares anymore for – how long did the interest in Syria last? Did anyone much notice the 8 years of fighting in Donbass before ? It’s the same battle..! There may be some interest as the Russians creep over Odessa.
Who is this guy? Is he credible?
Russia has made no significant advances in 9 days. UKR forces are counter attacking near Izium today. There are rumors of a Russian mobilization which is necessary because “Russia is defeating Ukraine decisively”.
My estimate –> Russia has reached the limit of its capabilities and will be pushed out of Ukraine. Russian corruption has ruined its army. Japan wants its islands back.
