Apologies up front for length
Things are starting to happen at the senior levels of Ukraine politics.
It appears Zelensky just had the right hand man of Gen. Zalzuhny assassinated, sending the political rival a messsage. This will not buy Zelensky sometime, but seal his fate as well in my opinion.
The military confidence in Zelensky was broken when the President forced to stay in Bakmhut til the last man. Shortly after that we saw advisors in Ukraine mysteriously die in helicopter crashes in fairly safe western Ukraine. Now, with the assassination, I'd think they know Zelensky must die......... Best Guess.
On the other side of the conflict. Russia is deciding what the post war will look like.
Russian military expert Alexey Leonkov, the editor-in-chief of Arsenal Otechestva,
Translation: Immediately after the end of the Special Military Operation, the West will not be able to fight with us. It does not have a trained army, it will not accumulate the required amount of resources, it has no plans for war with Russia. It only has scraps of speculation and guesswork. These three factors make war with NATO unlikely. It is clear that the United States can push the Europeans to take crazy steps. But on the economic and diplomatic front we have specialists who will try to keep them from doing this. And the NWO will lead to processes that will lead to a split in the European Union and NATO. If we break through a land corridor to Hungary, then Serbia will be magnetized to this axis. And it can be followed by Slovakia and Romania, where very interesting processes are taking place. Eastern Europe will begin to break away from old Europe, which will be severely depressed due to the economic situation. After all, Europe is defeated not only on the eastern front, but also in the global south (it is not so simple with China).
Consider this: Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia have a combined population of roughly 42 million. This is substantial, it is also a promising market--make your own conclusion. As I already stated many times, Russia doesn't need love or obedience, Russia is interested in trade with people who still recognize that there are only two genders. Simple as that. Once the land bridge is built, European structure changes dramatically. Old Europe can go and die.
Russia will have new markets, a rising military and will have shown NATO and Europe to be frauds willing to sacrifice an entire European nation and it's people for their greed.
