Dark Day for Ukraine: Krynky Bridgehead Collapse, Rus Captures Veseloye; German Crisis Protests Grow (Alexander Mercouris)

Attrition wars take some time. In this case Russia is fighting against all of NATO where insane neocon decision making means Ukraine will keep fighting until it has collapsed, and where the Russians have no choice but to reject their peace offering because of a past history of lying. Past negotiations with Russia were simply a means to arm Ukraine in order that it could attack the (Russian) people of the Donbass and Crimea. In Germany the farmer protests have turned into more general protest against the German Government that has essentially sold out the German people to globalist interests (via support of the Ukraine war and environmental policy). Other farmers throughout Europe are also in protest.
