This is NOT Russian propaganda, let that be clear. But in that respect, understand better what is happening with boots on the ground.
Just monitor both sides of the spectrum. It is said #Russia is losing, well not really.
Sources already reported before the war (or military operation), that the eastern and southern parts of #Ukraine (the coastline and the area east of the Dnieper) are primary targets. Apart from the presence of Biolabs, nuclear facilities and sub-units and paramilitary groups within the Ukrainian army.
The whole southern part of Ukraine, read the Black Sea area is under Russian military control, Mariupol has actually already fallen and contact with Moldova is imminent (Odesa will be the last stage).
The eastern part is already largely taken and the main city of Kharkiv is also cut off and surrounded. Kyiv is actually already surrounded as well, but this is a nice military diversionary tactic according to source information.
Most best trained and equipped Ukrainian forces (about 60,000) in the Donbas area are cut off from the rest and have two choices, surrender or be killed in action. This group is in the pincer grip from the east and south. The Russian army groups have surrounded them and it is only a matter of time until the lemon is squeezed.
The situation for the Ukrainian army is not as rosy as it is made out to be. Many units are surrounded, cut off from the rest and cannot operate on their own. Many military command structures are no longer operational. Both in the air and on land. The sea is not part of this story.
Also, it is not widely known, that Russia usually tries to avoid non-military targets, even if it does happen, but that is inherent to a war zone, no matter how terrible it is for the civilian population (sources report very early, that this was an explicit service order). This is also the reason, that the progress seems to stagnate, but actually, nothing stagnates. It is going step by step with surgical precision. It is a typical Russian war method.
Furthermore, most of the Biolabs have been or are being tracked down and taken over by Russia. Why do you think they went like a whirlwind to Chernobyl? Why do you see a hasty US confirmation after the first Russian reports about it?
And finally, why do the Russians want to negotiate with the Ukrainians. Because they are on the winning side and set the 6 points demands and agenda from the very first meeting.
It is a typical Russian chess game.
The only high risk now is a 'false flag' biological/chemical attack and operation staged by desperate Ukraine elements so Russia will be blamed. Why should Russia, winning the war, use such weaponry? Not necessary.”
Hard to know what to believe. I think all information sources are compromised.
