This is my latest voiceover for Southfront. As I mentioned before I don't write these things —I just do the voiceovers. So, maybe a little extra commentary is necessary.
The video is telling you what you already know – Russia controls both the air and the ground - not to mention the sea. That does not mean that Russia will no suffer losses in these arenas, of course — this is war.
But Western Ukraine is a dead man walking.
Don’t bother looking for accurate accounts or details in the MSM.
In the Kursk region, Azov Ukraine’s forces are surrounded and it has lost almost 30,000 men—at least as many as the number of soldiers that Ukraine says that North Korea has sent to the region to compensate for Russian failures and shore up the faltering “regime”of Vladimir Putin who died months ago from cancer and was replaced by a body double!
The North Koreans are nowhere to be seen now — so we must assume that the brave Ukrainians massacred them all .
Elsewhere— the Ukrainians lost upwards of 6000 men in just a week in the Donbas.
This is supposed to be urban warfare – which as you know, Sun Tzu recommended against —but, then again, he was thinking of large walled cities whereas he Western Ukrainians are occupying mostly villages and small towns. It is more like suburban warfare.
That is still a challenge, of course, but the Russian "art of war" is highly adaptable—if not creative. That is why it’s called “art”.
Ukrainians have static positions -- the Russians however have freedom of movement—and control the air.
This is a Drone War.
Now drones are easy to produce in large numbers. But really good drones are not.
And Russian drones are now very, very good.
Their battlefield drones have made it possible to reconnoiter and get a clear idea of enemy dispositions-- without the need to send in special forces to determine the situation.
The newest generation of Russian battlefield drones is very advanced, and flexible—making use of AI technology with multiple applications. Not just reconnaissance—but counter-drone warfare, attack, and the like, saving the lives of Russian soldiers.
By contrast, Ukrainians [produce a lot of drones — but the quality lags — despite what their propaganda says. Also, the Russians have been targeting their workshops and manufacturing sites.
If that wasn’t bad enough —they lack batteries. China has just sanctioned— SkyDio— the US supplier of batteries to Ukraine.
If your battery dies, always blame China.
As the video suggests, UkroNazis drones are also being being wasted on attacks on the Russian rear— being shot down— and doing little damage, except now and again, more or less by accident.
In the meantime, Ukrainian soldiers are being slaughtered in the towns and villages they invaded and occupied a decade ago. The “Maginot Grid” has become a fly trap.
Add to that — winter is coming. It gets cold in Ukraine. No electricity.
Have to burn something?
Gone once. Gone twice! GONE! That’s Ukraine.
]Nothing will stop the Russians except for unconditional surrender Western Ukraine--Including the surrender of war criminals who will be tried as such.

This is Chappy. https://buymeacoffee.com/julicow
I have gotten almost everything prepared for him.
I am hoping Ichi accepts him quickly.
I am pretty sure he will. Ichi is big — but very gentle and grew up with a lot of other cats. Chappy is younger — and not aggressive.
Still, it will take a month or more before things settle down.
Special Reports
I am still sending out download links to people who buy coffees.
Behind the Mexican restaurant nearby is a black cat hanging around. It's been there for some time when I first encountered it as a kitten. It's very sweet and affectionate. There are some mobile homes nearby and the cat might belong to a family living in one of them. It seems to want to adopt me and the cat ladies in my life are urging me to adopt it.
I'm torn. I live in my camper with my dog but my dog loves cats! I'm trying to figure out the logistics and have found solutions. In the meantime I'll feed and care for the cat. I bought food and dishes. The owners of the restaurant have given me permission.
Oh boy.
As for your post, you're dead on Julian!
Exceptionally correct on all your info Julian.
In my life my husband and I have had 24 cats. What I always do is keep them apart for a week. The cat (at home) comes and sniffs under the door of a room where new cat is/new cat does the same.
NO problem when the new cat is let out.
