Russia prepares to announce its "victory" over Ukraine and NATO on 24 February, Ukrainian intelligence reports

Source: Pravada.com.ua

The Russians are preparing to announce an alleged victory in the war against Ukraine and NATO on the three-year anniversary of their full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, and are planning a large-scale propaganda disinformation campaign.

Source: Defence Intelligence of Ukraine

Quote: "Russia is preparing to declare an alleged ‘victory’ in the war against Ukraine by the specific date – 24 February 2025, the third anniversary of the beginning of the full-scale war. Moreover, these plans may also include a ‘Russian victory over NATO’."

Details: The Russians have consistently claimed that they are fighting the Alliance in Ukraine.

Ukrainian intelligence said that the Kremlin had instructed to intensify attempts to sow disillusionment among Ukrainians, destabilize the situation in the country, and discredit Ukraine in the eyes of partners who provide important military assistance.

Statements such as "The West betrayed Ukraine", "Neither Moscow nor Washington care about the opinions of Europeans and Ukrainians", "The US and Russia made a deal behind Ukraine’s back", "The Ukrainian government is illegitimate", "The Ukrainian army is losing on the battlefield" and "Corrupt Ukrainian officials are stealing billions of dollars of US aid" will be the most widespread narratives in the near future.

Trump will cave to Putin and fuck over the Ukrainians bigly. He's already got a place for his Nobel Peace Prize picked out at Mar-A-Lego -- in the cabinet with all his fake golfing trophies.

Obama's Nobel has been eating at him for years. He's had his name nominated many, many time since Trump 1.0

9. If they'd actually had to fight NATO they'd be a smoldering ruin.

And if Ukraine fails to acquiesce, they claim they are the victims of Ukrainian aggression. President Krasnov will agree, et voila...

of Americans already reject Putin and his felon asset.




The felon's loons are the only ones who don't know this...

Ukraine has the best army in Europe, and the most battle-hardened one.
Ukraine is the only country in the West to have fought a major war in this decade.
Ukraine is innovating faster than other countries can copy.

That Ukraine is a model NATO candidate -- along with its massive agriculture, minerals, and ports -- is why the entire West will point & laugh across the world's airwaves at the puffed up felon and the international war criminal Putin.

They just want to "stop the steal."

Let Putin fight on for every last inch of Ukraine he thinks he can hold; let's see if and/or how the WH oligarch & felon help him.
