Ukraine - Today Update

 KYIV (AFP, REUTERS) - Russia’s defence ministry on Friday (April 29) confirmed it had carried out an air strike on Kyiv during a visit by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

“High-precision, long-range air-based weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed the production buildings of the Artyom missile and space enterprise in Kyiv,” the ministry said in its daily briefing on the conflict in Ukraine.

After this UN Secretary was shocked with what happened. It is like a demonstration of Moscow's clear desire for Russia to be expelled from the UN Council.


According to some sources, Putin already starting to gain desperate mood of failure. But 'wounded beast' might be way more dangerous, what we will still have to go through.


He worry only about his own mercantile interests, like career, power and personal survival, not other people lives. What is clear for everyone. Pity and egoistic in nature.


I would say that every day we can expect Putin to become more and more insane when his forces in Ukraine will suffer defeat after defeat, as the supply of arms from the united West increases.


Their propaganda machine already started threats, but none journalist is decisions maker and can't launch any nuclear missile. Never forget this.

I even started to unfollow some people on Twitter, which re-tweeting Russian propaganda, even if they are supporters of Ukraine. As they all resulted flood of Russian propaganda on my news wall, while in my opinion need to ignore all this. 


Those propaganda tellers decide nothing and are irrelevant for us at all.

This is basically one of Putin's failure scenarios, to increase nuclear tensions up to critical level after what to say to own people - "Do we want a nuclear war with NATO? I'm so good guy so I'll stop it giving up to NATO". 


Idea is about Putin's and Russia ego, that in their understanding shameful is to loose against Ukraine, but not NATO. As NATO is much stronger, and in this way Putin may wish to show himself as negotiator of peace for own electorate.

It is tricky, one more possible manipulation of Putin, for which he need to rise nuclear tensions to the red level, what possible to expect further. One of possible scenarios at least.


Meanwhile, Ukrainian defenders are dancing over the Lend-Lease deal, which means that Ukraine will now work directly with American arms manufacturers, where the country will be able to ask them what it needs, which means a lot and could be a major breakthrough of this war.


But production of new weapons and delivery are time consuming. Until May 5, probably won't happen any major changes. Something more can start to happen at the end of May or even further.


The Beauty of Ukrainian military girls. 😍

While according to Arestovich, this war might be a long game, even up to the end of the year or even longer.


Returning to Crimea from Ukraine, so called Cargo-200 or dead bodies. It is typical their marking to call them as 200s.


Sadly, in Mariupol the situation is worse than ever. This city is deep inside enemy territory, around 150 km., surrounded by several surrounding enemy circles, by Russian strategy books.

But city has access to the sea. And in my opinion, if I was one of defenders of Mariupol, if water was enough warm, what coming, would swim away via sea from there.


And in Russia as usual something burning. Probably, was not worth even to note. As this is pretty common.
