Russia’s Putin is stuck in Ukraine, can’t conquer the country despite massive bloodshood over 100 days. Seems like Russia is OBSESSED with conquering Ukraine despite that the Ukrainians have long fought for its independence, in 1917, in 1941 and now in 2022.

They simply cannot understand or care that Ukraine wants to be independent. Ukraine DOES NOT WANT TO BE PART OF RUSSIA!

100 days of wars and Russia despite loosing the war its still obsessed with conquering Ukraine. We hope that Ukraine resists and pushes Russia away, back home where it belongs.

Just before dawn yesterday, the war in Ukraine entered its 100th day with the demented propagandists of Russian state television more belligerent than ever.

One threatened this week that the Red Army will not halt until it reaches Stonehenge. Another declared that World War III has begun and that Nato must be forced to disarm.

These war-mongering rants are echoed by Vladimir Putin’s most hawkish advisers in the corridors of the Kremlin.

But in reality it is the sound of whistling in the dark, a nervous attempt to keep spirits up as fears loom ever larger.

The truth is the Russian President is mired in a conflict he can neither win nor abandon. His greatest problem, worse even than the mounting death toll or crippling sanctions, is that he has no way to declare victory unilaterally.

It takes only one side to start a war, but both sides to end one.

Even if Putin’s troops attain the ascendancy in eastern Ukraine, allowing him to lay claim to the Donbas region where the majority of Russian-speaking Ukrainians live, he cannot announce that he has achieved his objectives.

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky and his army of diehard resistance fighters will not tolerate that. They will continue to wage war over any Russian-occupied territory until a real peace deal is struck — and, at the moment, negotiation is out of the question, let alone compromise.

When Russia invaded in late February, Putin expected the conflict to be over in a matter of days.

He genuinely believed Ukrainians were aching to live under Moscow’s rule again and that his troops would be welcomed with flowers and the sound of brass bands. Instead, this conflict is heading for an ugly deadlock in which neither side is strong enough to deal a knock-out blow, nor weak enough to be defeated.

Following Russia’s failure to take the capital Kyiv and its withdrawal from north-west Ukraine, some Western commentators, who’d assumed Putin’s military might would shatter Ukraine’s resistance like a walnut in a nutcracker, suggested his forces were falling apart.

We saw images of burned-out convoys and buccaneering Ukrainian troops destroying tanks with state-of-the-art, handheld anti-tank weapons as if they were City slickers on a clay-pigeon shoot.

But Putin’s land forces are not a Keystone Kops army. They outnumber the Ukrainians in many key battlefields, morale is holding up better than it was in the early days of the war and troops have most of the equipment they need. And now they are being led by generals who have adopted a radical change in strategy.

Today the focus is on small, successive victories, not grand, sweeping triumphs. They are advancing perhaps one or two miles a day, in a grinding war of attrition.

At the moment, much of Putin’s army is devoted to smashing through to Severodonetsk in the Luhansk region in the east. Ukraine’s forces are fighting a rearguard action, pulling back slowly while claiming that the city has more symbolic value than real strategic importance.

As the region’s governor, Serhiy Hayday, said this week, the neighbouring city of Lysychansk is on higher ground and makes a better military stronghold.

Such battles have grim echoes of European wars of the past, in particular the gruelling trench warfare of World War I, when skirmishes over a few hundred yards of ground lasted for weeks.

  1. CHABAD LEADER, MESSIAH MENACHEM MENDEL SCHNEERSON ON HIS PLANS TO DESTROY SLAVS.- First of all, we will divide the Slavic nations (of 300 million, half of them Russians) into the small countries with weak and severed connections. For this, we will use our old method: Divide and conquer. We will try to pit these countries against each other, and suck them into civil wars for the sake of mutual destruction.Slav, Russian, can be destroyed, but never conquered. That is why this seed is subject to liquidation, and, at first, a sharp reduction in their numbers.As for the history, there is nothing to say. We will give our own history to the cattle, and show that the entire human evolution was moving towards the recognition of the God’s chosen nation of Jews to be masters over the entire world.
