\u201cUkraine\u2019s unquestioned strategic center of gravity is its western corridors to the Polish border where the vast majority of its war support enters the country. Their operational center of gravity is their resupply lines emanating eastwards from Kyiv to Ukraine\u2019s various frontline positions.\u00a0Without those two corridors, it would be nearly impossible for Kyiv to sustain wartime operations for more than a few weeks. Putin, therefore, may calculate the best use of those 218,000 additional troops will be to launch a three-pronged axis to cut both of those supply routes.\u201d<\/b>\u00a0Lt. Colonel Daniel L. Davis<\/a>, Senior Fellow for Defense Priorities and Contributing Editor at 1945<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI want to emphasize again that all tasks of the special military operation\u2026 will be unconditionally fulfilled.\u201d\u00a0Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Another day of large-scale missile attacks on Ukraine\u2019s hobbled energy infrastructure has plunged much of the country into darkness. The relentless attacks\u2014which continued through the night and into the early morning hours\u2014have intensified dramatically as Russian combat troops continue to join their units along the perimeter in preparation for a major winter offensive. Russian President Vladimir Putin has waited patiently for the Zelensky regime to grasp the gravity of their situation and press for bilateral negotiations. But the Ukrainian president has stubbornly rejected diplomacy at every turn opting instead to fight til the bitter end. He is fully supported in that decision by his backers in\u00a0Washington who see the conflict as an opportunity to weaken Russia so it cannot obstruct US plans to \u201cpivot\u201d to Asia. The transformation of Ukraine into a frigid, uninhabitable wastelands is largely the result of Washington\u2019s voracious geopolitical ambitions.<\/b>\u00a0This is from a post at the website Moon of Alabama:<\/span><\/p>\n

Previous attacks had limited the distribution capacity to some 50% of demand. Controlled blackouts over several hours per day allowed to give some electricity for a few hours to most parts of the country. The attack today created a much larger problem. Not only were distribution networks attacked but also so the elements that connect Ukraine\u2019s electricity production facilities to the distribution network. All four nuclear power stations of Ukraine with their 15 reactors are now in shutdown mode. Kiev along with most other cities of Ukraine no longer has electricity.\u201d\u00a0Ukraine \u2013 Lights Out, No Water And Soon No Heat\u201d<\/a>, Moon of Alabama<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
Ukraine Plunged Into Darkness\u2014As of the morning of November 24, more than 70% of Kiev remains without electricity. There is no water in half of the capital. Power outages continue in all regions throughout the country\u2026.\u201dKiev goes Dark as NATO Sacrifices Ukraine\u201d<\/a>\u00a0— Southfront<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n

The widespread power outages are accompanied by freezing temperatures that will inevitably lead to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Millions of Ukrainians will be forced to flee across the border seeking refuge in Europe. Others will be left to hunker-down in makeshift emergency shelters that are sporadically heated by diesel-powered generators. There is no prospect that Ukraine\u2019s dilapidated power-system will be fixed quickly if ever. And even if it could be cobbled-back together in some improvised capacity, it would only be a short-term fix. The fact is,\u00a0the Russians have identified the main substations, terminals and auto-transformers across Ukraine and are picking them off one-by-one.<\/b>\u00a0Unable to defend itself against the daily barrage of precision-guided missiles,\u00a0Ukraine is gradually being bombed into the Stone Age.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The objective of the Russian operation is to undermine Ukraine\u2019s ability to wage war.\u00a0<\/b>The attacks on Ukraine\u2019s power-grid, railway hubs, fuel deports, bridges and command-and-control centers are merely Phase 1 of a 2-phase operation that is designed to defeat the enemy and bring the war to swift end<\/b>. Russia has gathered roughly 500,000 troops in a combat Strike-Force that will traverse the country along three main axes annihilating Ukrainian Forces wherever they are encountered and seizing key cities along the way.\u00a0Critical supply-lines from Poland will be blocked, leaving troops at the front cut-off and vulnerable to attack.\u00a0<\/b>Eventually, the regime and their Right-bloc security forces will be killed or captured. Moscow will not allow a government that is openly hostile towards Russia to rule the country. This is from an interview with Colonel Douglas MacGregor:<\/span><\/p>\n

There are now 540,000 Russian troops stationed around the outskirts of Ukraine preparing to launch a major offensive that I think will probably end the war in Ukraine<\/b>. 540,000 Russian troops, 1,000 rocket artillery systems, 5000 armored fighting vehicles including at least 1,5000 tanks, hundreds and hundreds of tactical ballistic missiles.\u00a0Ukraine is now going to experience war on a scale we haven\u2019t seen since 1945.\u201d<\/b>\u00a0Colonel Douglas MacGregor,\u00a0<\/a>Rumble<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

MacGregor again\u2014Everything has now changed\u2026 the large probability of offensives beginning in the next few weeks, whenever the ground freezes completely and the Russians judge their forces to be ready. and they will move in and they will finish off this Ukrainian state, let\u2019s not kid ourselves, The regime in Kiev is likely to be annihilated along with the remainder of its armed forces\u2026<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The biggest mistake we in the west could make is to involve ourselves. We\u2019ve done enough damage\u2026.and I think\u00a0what we are going to see\u2026. is the total destruction of this rump Ukrainian state<\/b>. Now, what happens afterwards, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m quite confident that Russians do not want to remain in western Ukraine \u2026Russia is now treating Ukraine as a real enemy. Previously they were not. and this is not understood in the west.\u201d \u201cUkraine is about to be annihilated\u201d,\u00a0Colonel Douglas MacGregor<\/a>, youtube<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
