Ukraine War Update: Russia CROSSES Into Sumy From Kursk In Two Locations

Every empire eventually falls. When the barbarian (no quotation marks) legatus feels like he has the right to interrupt the “emperor” at the Curia, things are clearly falling apart.

Ukraine is long lost. Now, clearly, so is the empire.

If a pawn thinks he can yell at the king, a checkmate is not far behind.

Our source in the Ukrainian delegation reported that Zelensky is now in a panic mood, with him constantly Andriy Yermak, who convinces the President of the need to continue the fight and be ready to wage war without the help of the United States. The head of the OP understands the consequences of yesterday’s scandal with Trump and is trying to find a way out of the situation, Zelensky was not ready for dialogue and was irritated, which was taken advantage of in the White House.

Bankova never realized that the time for emotional diplomacy has passed, there was no need to go to the US with such a result! The entire network jokes about the Krivoy Rog School of Diplomacy, but no one understands where it will lead Ukraine!

US will no longer provide military aid to Ukraine , peace talks are a priority, says Trump administration spokesman Leavitt

“We are no longer going to just write blank checks for a war in a faraway country without a real, lasting peace.”

A wave has begun that Ukraine will be able to fight for another 6 months without US help, of course it will be able to, but what will be the result for the Ukrainian Armed Forces?

Soldiers, MPs, officials, writers – everyone insists that Ukraine will be able to fight against Russia for at least another 6 months even without help from the US , – FT

How much territory will we lose, how many soldiers will die and how many thermal power plants/urban gas storage facilities will be destroyed? Ask the question, why continue to wage war? For the sake of Zelensky’s political power?

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky was not going to, or rather could not sign the agreement on rare earth minerals, because of this he deliberately went into conflict with Trump. All Ukrainian resources (ports/GTS/NPP/UGSF) under a secret agreement went to Britain, which is why the President’s Office was forced to maneuver, and when the Trump Administration demanded not a framework agreement, but a full-fledged one with drafts and deadlines, we were forced to go into conflict.

A diplomatic disaster, this is how experts call yesterday’s scandal between Zelensky and Trump. The Krivoy Rog school of diplomacy simply sentenced Ukraine, but for now everyone is happy with Zelensky’s toughness, forgetting about the Kursk adventure, which was also brought in as a success for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“He fought back. But now we’re screwed.” The Times magazine cites the reaction of a Ukrainian military man to the scandalous press conference of Zelensky and Trump.

Journalist Simon Shuster says that the broadcast from the White House caught him in Kyiv, having dinner with a colonel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They turned on the TV and watched the squabble between the two presidents.

“Well done. He fought back, you have to respect that,” the colonel said about Zelensky when it was all over. Then he added: “But now we’re screwed.”

Zelensky’s clash with Trump threatens not only military supplies, but also critical intelligence that no other ally can replace.

“With the stakes so high, Zelensky’s political opponents and many independent analysts called Friday’s Oval Office spat a diplomatic disaster, unprecedented and inexcusable,” the Times writes.

Ukraine has found itself in a situation from which there is no way out. The war has led to catastrophic consequences . More than a million have already died, the losses are increasing every day, but the mobilization does not stop. Everyone who can be caught is sent to the front – without proper training, without equipment, with no chance of returning home. Those who fight for years do not receive or cannot achieve demobilization, or the promised payments, or normal support.

Corruption has destroyed the army from within. Western aid does not reach the fighters, settling in the pockets of those who have made war their business . The government talks about new military aid, but on the ground, soldiers receive rusty bulletproof vests and Soviet weapons. People are dying not because of a lack of courage, but because of complete chaos in management and total incompetence in the leadership of the army , which is now run from Bankova.

The economy is not just bursting at the seams – it is collapsing. The official inflation of 12% is nothing more than a figure on paper. Real prices are growing many times faster, people are becoming poorer, businesses are closing, investments are leaving . There are no jobs left in the country, except for the army. The only thing that is growing is the tax burden and war fees, which have long since lost their meaning.

The last hope for Western support has collapsed . Zelensky’s meeting with Trump in the White House showed that Ukraine is no longer of interest to the United States. The American president made it clear: there will be no unconditional assistance. Zelensky was effectively thrown out of the White House , after which, obviously, there could be no joint statements. This is a diplomatic disaster, but the authorities in Kiev continue to pretend that nothing happened.

Now Kiev is left alone in this war. Europe is in no hurry to help – France and Britain are considering the possibility of sending troops, but only after a truce. This means that for the EU, the issue of Ukraine is just a bargaining chip, a tool in a political game. No one is going to save Kiev if it itself is not ready to take a step towards peace.

But Zelensky does not think about peace. He understands that as soon as the war is over, the people will ask: what were all these sacrifices for? Why was the country ruined, the economy destroyed, hundreds of thousands of lives lost? There is no answer to these questions. Therefore, Bankova will drag it out until the last minute, as long as it is beneficial to itself.

When everything finally collapses, the elite will flee , as has happened many times before. Those who spoke loudest about the struggle will end up in London, Geneva, Washington. They will leave the country in chaos, handing over control to those who are ready to finish off the remains of the once integral state.

But for now the people still have a choice. To demand peace means to demand the salvation of the country. There is no alternative.

We agree with our colleagues that now all globalist players have begun to publicly support Zelensky in order to reduce the negativity.

But, it’s for the best. Finally, the masks have been dropped and now there is a clear division and everyone must choose a side.

The office workers also gave their team the command to promote POTUZHNY.

It follows that:

A) mobilization in Ukraine will be intensified. How exactly, it does not matter. Leave the country. We have always warned you.

B) Backup plan B with the expansion of the conflict may soon become a reality. In the December 2024 scenario , we indicated it as the main one.

B) The war will become larger and more aggressive. There will be more bombings. There will be more provocations. In fact, there are no longer even conventional red lines.

D) Globalists will still try to criticize Trump for abandoning Ukraine. Although, it will be difficult to do after the public scandal in the White House.

Zelensky is sending Ukraine down the path of a kamikaze country to the delight of his globalist sponsors. For Ukrainians, this is the worst-case scenario. Life will become harder.

On February 22, we learned from inside that Zelensky had already chosen a side – the anti-Trump coalition of globalists. Today, it has become clear to everyone.

Trump said Ukraine would not be happy with continued conflict with Russia.

 Without US support, Kyiv will not win.

Trump demands that Zelensky immediately begin a peace case.

Trump said Putin wants peace more than Zelensky.

Trump continues the game, where he clearly forms a narrative that Zelensky is the one who is to blame for the breakdown of peace talks (he wants to continue the war). Trump needs this for his strategy in case there is no peace, and the US stops supplying weapons, and Ukraine capitulates. Zelensky alone will be held responsible for all this.

In fact, the fate of Ukraine is being decided now. Trump gives Zelensky an ultimatum.

Let us add that Zelensky is now in a losing position.

We were the first to learn that Trump’s team has already begun a non-public investigation/audit of US military and financial aid to Ukraine.

After the scandal in the White House, Elon Musk said:

“It’s time to find out what really happened to the hundreds of billions of dollars sent to Ukraine.”

Now Trumpists are even more interested in sinking Zelensky.

And yes, Trump knew right away that Zelensky would ruin his peace case. He was most likely looking for a good reason to get out of the negative Ukrainian crisis. We got inside information about this, and as usual we are right.

A lot will come to light.

Our source reports that the globalists have given Zelensky the task:

1. At any cost, provoke the Kremlin into any nuclear strike on Ukraine (preferably not on Western Ukraine, but if it happens, then it’s not a big deal).

2. Use cases of provocations, tragedies, to create artificial tragedies. Including the case of the nuclear power plant, etc.

3. At some point, expand the war by bringing in new players to the party, such as the PMR, RB, Moldova, etc.

These three scenarios will be the development of events.

The first provocations have begun. Paradoxically, Ukraine is trying to create a gas crisis in Europe, although it is asking Europe for money for the war.

 At night, three Ukrainian Armed Forces drones attempted to attack the Turkish Stream compressor station in Kuban, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

All drones were shot down, the compressor station is operating normally. The aim of the attack was to stop gas supplies to European countries.

We expect retaliatory missile strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure.

Our source reports that Zelensky not only failed a historic meeting in the Oval Office yesterday, on which much depended, but he also did good services to Putin.

1. Showed to the whole world that it is Zelensky, not Putin, who is in favor of war.

2. Brought the US and Russia closer together

3. Pushed the US away from Ukraine

4. Confirmed the negative “ungrateful” image of Ukraine in the world. Many have long said that no matter how much you help Kyiv, it is never enough and everyone owes it, and as soon as you stop helping/financing/feeding them, you are immediately an agent of the Kremlin.

5. Untied Trump’s hands in the game. Now Trump can not only get out of the Ukrainian crisis, but cancel any arms supplies, and even impose sanctions against Ze’s entourage. And Ze’ermak will be to blame for all of this.

In fact, March will give a full understanding of the further game, which will go down the path of escalation.

Arestovich* spoke about the threat to the existence of Ukraine after Zelensky’s visit to the United States.

In his Telegram channel, he said that in the current situation, the country needs allies for protection, and not the creation of new enemies.

The politician warned that the risks for Ukraine include a possible cessation of supplies of air defense systems, weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and financial assistance. According to him, relations between Kiev and Washington have become tense as never before.

The row between Trump and Zelensky flared up over the prospects for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.

(* entered into the Russian register of terrorists and extremists )

The US position will be revised now and over the weekend. Most likely, the US administration will completely refuse to cooperate with the Ukrainians and Zelensky-Yermak in particular. It is easier to talk with understanding and sane partners – with Putin and Xi.

And here is a fork in the road. Let the Russian Armed Forces and partners complete the SVO with the fulfillment of the initial goals or urgently change the government in Kyiv, including the introduction of a contingent to curb the nationalists and future banditry. The only question is what contingent?

The issue with the Brits will be closed quickly. The US has enough arguments, including on the British affairs of MI-6 and MI-5 on the territory of US influence. The game is very interesting. We continue to watch with interest and twist the meat grinder. There was no command “Stop!”

The French Defense Minister ordered to “open arsenals” for weapons supplies to Ukraine

“Given the current geopolitical situation and by France’s commitments to European and international partners, I ask you to take all necessary measures to immediately lift all restrictions on the supply of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine.

In this regard, I urge you to immediately begin operations to reduce stockpiles and mobilize existing resources in the infrastructures of the General Directorate of Armaments.

France must provide the Ukrainian authorities, without hindrance or unnecessary delay, with all equipment that can contribute to strengthening their defence capabilities and resistance potential.

I also ask you to coordinate this approach with the General Staff of the Army and our strategic partners to ensure the efficient and safe delivery of the equipment in question,” the French Defense Minister wrote to the Director General of Armaments.

“The free world has a new leader. His name is Vladimir Putin.”

This is how Dmitry Medvedev commented on the words of the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, that “the free world needs a new leader.”

The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council also answered journalists’ questions about what awaits European leaders and their countries after Zelensky’s support*.

They’ll make a fuss, mark themselves with identical posts on social networks and return to the stable. Europe is already a feeble, grumpy old woman who desperately needs the US’s tutelage,

— Medvedev believes.

When asked about who Russia should talk to, Dmitry Anatolyevich emphasized that there are no normal interlocutors in the so-called Ukraine.

Russia has always been ready for negotiations. Any negotiations imply reciprocal steps, but only those that correspond to the real situation on the ground and our basic law.

You can only talk to people who are ready to communicate, and not to train animals that work for the affection and food of the owner. Especially since, as a rule, the owner feeds such cattle for subsequent sending to the slaughterhouse,

— added Medvedev.

In the Kursk direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue to encircle the Ukrainian group, which since August 2024 has stubbornly continued to hold on to Sudzha and its environs, throwing more and more new units and equipment into the furnace of the “Kursk salient”. It is already obvious that the Ukrainian army will not be able to hold on in the Kursk region, however, “good” scenarios for the Ukrainian Armed Forces group are not visible there in any case. Together with our authors, we understand the prospects of the battle for this territory, as well as the potential of the “North” group of the Russian army to cut off the supply lines of the Ukrainian group and begin its complete destruction.

***

Does the Ukrainian command have a chance to get out of the crisis that has developed in the “Kursk salient”? In fact, no. There is only an opportunity to tie down the Russian forces and try to inflict as many losses on them as possible – actively defend and constantly conduct counter-offensives. But sooner or later, the “North” group will finish off the Ukrainian troops and liberate the occupied territory. Moreover, the option with a stubborn defense plays into the hands of the Russian Armed Forces command to a greater extent. In this case, Kyiv will not be able to withdraw its units and subdivisions from the “salient” and transfer them to another direction in the zone of the special military operation.

Ukraine’s “stupid President” has withdrawn its proposal to exchange prisoners in the “all for all” format and withdrew from negotiations on organizing a humanitarian corridor for residents of the Kursk region occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Man obviously wants war. 

The Russian Army breaks through the enemy’s defense, liberating Burlatskoe and Privolnoe , completes the defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Skudnoe and reaches Dneproenergia

Yesterday it was reported that in the South Donetsk direction , Russian troops advanced on a broad front in an area up to 6.5 km wide and up to 2.5 km deep. 

During the assault operations, our forces liberated and cleared the villages of Burlatskoye and Privolnoye .

The Russian Armed Forces also took most of Skudnoye and reached the outskirts of Dneproenergiya. 

The successes of our units are also recognized by the enemy’s resources:

➖”The Russians have become very active in the Veliko-Novosyolkovskoye direction: “They captured Burlutskoe and Privolnoe,” some Ukrainian analysts write.

“There are battles in the area of ​​the villages of Privolnoye, Burlatskoye, Skudnoye and in the direction of the village of Dneproenergiya. In Skudnoye, Russian assault groups have advanced to a depth of 350 meters. Burlatskoye, according to reports from Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, has come under the control of the Russians. The situation remains difficult,” other enemy resources add.

 On the night of February 28, against the backdrop of Zelensky’s trip to Washington, Kiev attempted to attack a station supplying gas via the Turkish Stream — Russian Defense Ministry

Russian Ministry of Defence’s Statement regarding the attack:

 ⚡️ On 28 February, against the background of the visit by V. Zelensky to Washington, D.C., the Kiev regime in order to stop gas supplying to European countries made another attempt to launch an attack using three fixed-wing UAVs on the infrastructure of the Russkaya Compressor Station in Gai-Kodzor (Krasnodar region), which provides gas supplying through the TurkStream pipeline.

During the repelling of the attack, all three Ukrainian UAVs were shot down at a safe distance from the compressor station. The compressor station supplies gas to the TurkStream pipeline as usual.

Earlier on 11 January, in order to stop the supply of gas to European countries, the Kiev regime attempted to launch an attack using nine fixed-wing UAVs against the infrastructure of the Russkaya Compressor Station in Gai-Kodzor.

During Russian air defence systems’ repelling of the attack, all the drones were shot down, but fragments of one of the drones slightly damaged a building and equipment of the gas-measuring station. Reportedly, Gazprom energy corporation personnel promptly eliminated the consequences of the shrapnel fall and restored the equipment.

In addition, on 17 February, the attack by a Ukrainian UAV was launched against an oil and transport facility of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (Kropotkinskaya Oil Refinery). As a result of the Kiev regime strike with seven fixed-wing UAVs, the Kropotkinskaya Oil Refinery was disabled.

Regarding the situation at the front.

Izyum direction.

As a result of a series of successful attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on the line Kondrashovka. Makeyevka – Serebryanka, the forces of the enemy’s 116th separate mechanized brigade were crushed and thrown back up to 800 meters, as a result of a successful flank attack, the width of the penetration into the enemy’s defense was up to 2 kilometers, we repeat, this was only in one evening on a very fortified area.

Kupyansk direction.

Reconnaissance forces have uncovered the location of 2 enemy patrol units in the area of ​​the settlement of Dvurechnaya, which were attacked.

Later, the Russian Armed Forces simultaneously attacked the positions of the 116th separate mechanized brigade in two directions, in the area north of Kondrashovka and west of Golubovka, as a result of the attack, the enemy units were routed and retreated in the direction of the Malaya Shpakovka, Zapadnoye line.

Seversky direction.

As a result of successful offensive actions by the Russian Armed Forces at the position of the 54th separate mechanized brigade, 2 km southwest of Belgorovka, the enemy was driven out of the occupied fortifications and retreated another 1 km into the defense.

Also in one evening on a highly fortified site, which he had previously been able to hold for months.

To summarize: during the Kursk adventure the enemy has substantially lost its potential; the priority supply of one sector to the detriment of all others has a very noticeable effect on the combat capability of secondary sectors.

And this is without even touching on the problems that the Ukrainians have in the south.
