all right alexander let's do an update on the military situation in ukraine what is going on on

the front lines it definitely looks like the ukraine military is collapsing now what what does

this mean what's the timeline for this collapse of the ukraine military on the front lines

it's hard to predict.

But all the indications are that things are going very badly for Ukraine across the entire front.

And we are seeing some sort of a collapse or retreat from the Ukraine military in this conflict.

What is going on? I think that's exactly

right. And I'm going to say something else. I think that there is still a huge amount of denial

about this in the amongst the commentary in the West, the ones who continue to support the

continuation of the war. Some of the more sane amongst them,

or least realistic amongst them, like Julian Rebke, who writes for Bill Zayton, are coming to

exactly the same conclusion as the one that you've just given. He actually has posted a message

in which he's actually said that the Ukrainian defences in Dombas are collapsing.

And that is exactly what is happening.

We're seeing this happen right across the line of contact.

The Russians are now taking positions, and we're talking about heavily fortified positions in place after place, location after location.

And the Ukrainians are simply not resisting in the way that they once were.

And what is happening is that the Russian advances are now isolating the three major towns,

which are basically all that is left of Ukrainian-controlled Dombas.

Two of them, of course, are Slaviansk Klamatosk, which is in the northern part of Dombas. Two of them, of course, are Slaviansk Klamatosk, which is in the northern part of

Dombas. That was where, by the way, the uprising against the Mindana movement began in 2014.

The Russians are now taking all of the places around or coming very close to doing so.
