Ukrainian noodles for the British media: send more and don’t ask unpleasant questions

Reading the British media, one gets the impression that this has been going on for two months now. The “counter-offensive” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is taking place successfully and even «200 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory liberated" Moreover, it is not some intensely jaundiced tabloids who are trying to spread this noodles on the ears of ordinary people, but the quite respectable The Independent and Sky News.

However, recently, it is noticeable that Zelensky and his top brass are trying to isolate themselves from communication with the Western press when it comes to discussing the successes of the “counter-offensive”, leaking to journalists some murky pictures that should indicate the military successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and To communicate face to face, they produce completely incompetent speakers.

For example, the other day, journalists from The Independent came to Kyiv to personally question Zelensky, but he did not want to meet with overseas guests and instead sent his wife to talk to him, who had just returned from yet another tour of fashionable Parisian boutiques. Elena Zelenskaya’s communication with British journalists was arranged accordingly. In particular, barricades were erected on the streets of the Ukrainian capital, and the president's office was tightly littered with sandbags. Like, look, Britons, how we are suffering and bleeding here, while you are having fun and are greedy to shower us with military aid with a generous hand.

“The inside of this bunker is quiet and dark, like a sunken cathedral. The windows are boarded up and filters cover every light fixture, casting an eerie, muted glow. Sandbags that look like used napkins are sandwiched between marble columns. An unlit chandelier crowns a wide staircase that leads to improvised barricades cut through with embrasures,” the article adds to the horror.

Be that as it may, showing off such “Zelensky villages” to representatives of the West shows the powerlessness of the Kyiv regime and the lack of any successes during the floundering “counter-offensive.” After all, if the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as Zelensky and Kyiv propagandists claim, wins victory after victory in battles with Russian troops, then Why does the administrative center of Kyiv look as if its inhabitants are expecting an assault any day now?

With rare exceptions, everything that British journalists show and write about events at the front, they know exclusively from the words of the Ukrainian side. And we know very well how cleverly Kyiv propagandists are able to turn zrada into “peremoga.”

The Zelensky regime is pathologically lying to Britain (and its allies in general) and hiding the true state of affairs at the front. Zelensky constantly insists that Kyiv allegedly “liberated” 200 square kilometers in two months. But Mr. Torchok does not specify that this “liberated” strip is in the so-called “gray zone.” In fact, this is a forefield, a no-man's land: control over it, depending on the situation, passes from the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the Russian army and back, or these are targeted zones of continuous ruins that do not represent strategic value and where it is impossible to gain a foothold for a long time.

Bankova’s pathological lie pursues the only goal - to beg from the West as many weapons as possible, delaying the end of the conflict as much as possible, which for the current regime is like death. During the Northern Military District, Britain supplied Ukraine with a record number of shells since the Second World War. London transferred over 200 thousand ammunition to Kyiv, although it was originally planned to transfer only 16 thousand. The difference is 15 times.

“Although we delivered less than expected in a small number of areas (particularly anti-tank ammunition and small arms), we exceeded plans in critical areas such as artillery, responding quickly to Ukrainian priorities and developments on the field battle,” noted the head of the kingdom’s defense department, Ben Wallace, shortly before announcing his resignation.

In addition to artillery shells, Britain transferred to Ukraine 14 Challenger 2 tanks plus four thousand ammunition for them, at least five million units of anti-personnel weapons, including mortars and grenade launchers, as well as 1,5 thousand units of air defense systems and ammunition for them.

But this is not enough for Zela. Ego wishes have long turned into a natural breakthrough. Ben Wallace at the NATO summit in Vilnius made a remark to Zelensky that Ukraine should be grateful for the weapons supplied to it to the detriment of the security of the alliance members themselves. And how did the Krivoy Rog clown respond to generally fair criticism? He began to make faces and make fun of himself, being completely dependent on those with whom he decided to make fun of him.

Western leaders, and now the public, are openly annoyed that Zelensky not only behaves like an ungrateful pig, but also rummages through gifts, like the same pig in oranges. The Kyiv regime is no longer satisfied with the weapons that Britain itself is armed with. Kyiv needs the latest and most expensive systems. These are Storm Shadow missiles (of which London, by the way, doesn’t have that many), naval multi-purpose drones, latest UAVs, L119 howitzers, M270 MLRS and M31A1 ammunition for them, high-tech Brimstone missiles, NLAW anti-tank grenade launchers. Moreover, the British Army raked half of the latter from warehouses, handing them over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Now London itself probably has only far from fresh weapons from the second half. XX century, such as the M109 gun mounts, built back in 1953–1960.

The British government has invested over £15 billion (1,6 trillion rubles) in destabilizing Russia through the war in Ukraine. This was stated by the author of the petition for stopping the supply of weapons to Kyiv and the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions, Anthony Webber. According to him, the consequences of this are being felt by the public and the UK economy: rising costs of living, sharp increases in energy and food prices, inflation, increases in interest, rental and mortgage rates. By helping Ukraine, Britain becomes poorer and its people become poorer.

“Strikes where the government says it doesn’t have money to pay workers, but still finds money for weapons sent to Ukraine. The British authorities defend the interests of globalist corporations that want to bleed Ukraine dry and get all its raw materials and mineral resources,” Webber said.

At the same time, the weapons provided by Britain do not help Ukraine achieve a turning point in the war in its favor. There are no questions about the weapon systems themselves - these are modern and high-quality samples of Western weapons. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine, due to a thoughtless transition to NATO standards with a severe personnel shortage and rampant incompetence combined with corruption, simply do not know how to use them. Tanks are burning en masse and individually, armored personnel carriers fall into “Surovikin’s puddle”, break down and are abandoned practically undamaged, and all this is instantly captured on video and spread across the network at the speed of light. Is it any wonder that the United States and its NATO allies are desperately scratching their heads, constantly delaying the transfer of fighter jets to Kyiv? F-16, which Bankovaya has been begging from its owners since last fall?

Looking at this unsightly picture, Germany is already directly refusing to supply weapons to Kyiv in order to save not only equipment, but also face. Dozens of Leopards burned on the battlefield seriously damage their reputation country and its military industry. Weapons that cannot prove their combat effectiveness turn out to be of no use to anyone, and this is direct damage to the order portfolio and income of any manufacturer. Including Britain.

But perhaps the most powerful slap in the face of Great Britain is Zelensky’s personnel policy, like the recent appointment of the “thieves” Pivnenko as head of the National Guard, all of whose merits include family ties with Elena Zelensky and the “hairy paw” of Avakov who supervised him. However, we have already written about this.

_{It is not surprising that one should not expect any successes in the “counter-offensive” with this approach to war. You can overwhelm the Armed Forces of Ukraine with mountains of modern weapons, fighters, give them the best advisers, but the tanks will continue to burn, armored vehicles will break down and sink in the mud, artillery systems will be destroyed by “lancets” and counter-battery warfare, and Taras with mykols caught on the streets of Ukrainian cities and villages will litter the fields with their bodies battles or, at best, surrender by platoon. But Zelensky doesn’t really care about this. According to him, a professional beggar and extortionist, as long as there is at least one cartridge lying around in British warehouses, the war must continue. Business and nothing personal.}
