As I wrote yesterday, Avdeevka is a trap. A very obvious trap. The Russians are probably thanking God that Zelensky is in charge in Kiev instead of somebody whose brain is not in his wallet pocket. Things are not going well for Ukraine. And that bodes ill for the Clown in Chief.
As I also mentioned in my last article, Syrsky is now running the military—except that he's not – it's really Zelensky— Syrsky just does what he's told to do to keep his family alive. The Ukrainians’ last competent brigade, the elite Azov 3rd Assault Brigade, was sent in four days ago to turn things around —and immediately lost 600 men.
Here’s what they said,
The feasibility of such a maneuver—driving an assault unit into an operational encirclement to strengthen defensive actions—looks extremely strange.
And …
In general, the situation is reminiscent of the Bakhmut defensive operation, when the infantry of the third assault (brigade) was forced to take up defensive positions immediately upon arrival. And just like last year, not a single position had been prepared, because at the time of the event, the strongholds previously held were already lost or destroyed. Yuri Podolyaka / Drussky.
Estimates of the number of Ukrainian troops trapped in Avdeevka vary between 4000 and 7000. It's unlikely that the wounded will be evacuated. Who needs wounded soldiers?
The commander of the 3rd Brigade has reportedly told Syrsky to stuff it— no love lost here— if rumors are correct and keeping in mind that the Azovs are Zaluzhny's men, if they are anybody's.
The Shit Stream Media. of course, has its own story. And that's all it is— a story. Once upon a time…Here's the Financial Times….
Instead of retreating from Avdiivka, where soldiers are already rationing ammunition amid supply shortages aggravated by the US’s failure to agree on fresh aid, Kyiv’s new commander-in-chief General Oleksandr Syrsky has sent reinforcements to the eastern Ukrainian town.
A spokesman for the elite 3rd Separate Assault Brigade said on Telegram on Thursday that the situation in Avdiivka had been “absolutely critical” before they were sent in as reinforcements and that Ukrainian troops were pushing back newly arrived Russian units “at 360 degrees”.
That's not exactly what Ukrainian troops are saying.
We are forced to fight 360 degrees against new and new brigades that the enemy starts.
Or so says Brigade commander Biletsky, adding that the situation remains “threatening and unstable”. (Reported by Vicky Victrop55 on Telegram)
In other words, the 3rd Brigade is attacked from all sides by constantly reinforced Russian forces.
As a result, the brigade is withdrawing, whatever the orders from above. Call it refusal to fight – or just common sense.
The Ukrainians will try to evacuate their forces but will be lucky to save half of them. It will not be an organized retreat—it will be a rout. As I've said, the Azovs haven't mutinied – but they really, really don't want to be part of this – and are leaving.
In the meantime, the shitstream media in the West are telling us that the Ukraine can win, if just given a few more billion dollars. Of course, by the time—if & when— that money materializes in the form of weapons and ammunition, most of the Ukrainian Army will be dead.
Also, Navalny has died (presumably) of a thrombosis— which of course can be caused by many things. Navalny has been diagnosed with a metabolic disease resulting in low blood sugar.
Zelensky is accusing Putin of murdering him. Of course.
But, at this point in time, the only people to benefit from Navalny’s death are NATO and Ukraine. Does the West have the capability of carrying out an assassination operation, masked as a medical emergency like this?
Probably not. But…. but, but, but…..
It's a wonderful distraction.

Personal note
Parrots are really intelligent but another bird which is smart is the crow, which, if adopted young enough, gets along really well with kids and other animals. (Yes, kids are animals). Ravens look like big crows and are even smarter – and no less amiable.
Crows and ravens are said to have the IQs of seven-year-old kids so definitely smarter than me.
Great analysis of the situation Julian !
You saw the Special NAZI-AZOV 3th Brigade, which Zaluzhny had assigned to the Strategic Reserves , far away from the frontlines and a threat in Kiev for Zelensky, being sent tot the Frontline, where they are within range of the Russian missiles on their way to Avdiivka.
The change in the military top, was done under pressure of the US, Neocon Victoria Nuland.
Their purpose was to minimize the NAZI-influence in Kiev and on Zelensky, so Zaluzhny was disposed of. 4 Other NAZI-generals were removed and the new Top General Syrsky, ordered the best and strongest armed NAZI-AZOV 3th Brigade to go safe Avdiivka.... What would the NAZI's do ?
So Zelensky hurried to start a safe tour around Europe, awaiting the outcome...
Well, did the Russians find it out or was there treason done ? Just guessing...
Halfway the NAZI Brigade was horribly attacked with a storm of Missiles and as soon they appeared near Avdiivka, they were massively targetted by the Russians. Their priority is NOT Avdiivka, their Priority is to KILL as many NAZI's as they can. So Frightened, they refused to go into Avdiivka to replace the soldiers who were fighting there for 18 months already.
These soldiers heard the Special NAZI-AZOV Brigade had refused to replace them and now those are ANGRY and anti-NAZI too...
That is my cent...

For those interested in the Navalny story, I have written about it and the sheer hypocrisy of the Western SSM and governments/elites here:

Of course I could not avoid comparing their mourning of Alexei Navalny and their silence for Gonzalo Lira and Julian Assange.
