Russia has fewer and fewer options

Be prepared that this will not end tomorrow. But tune in to the fact that if we do everything right, it will end in victory

The first Russian plan was that they would enter Ukraine in orderly marching columns, put Medvedchuk on the throne and Tsarev in some other place, quietly kill all active Ukrainians and become a great empire.

We rammed this plan down their throats and turned it around three times, like a pornographic version of the great Russian poem "Mtsiri", sometime in March-April last year.

The second Russian plan was to use a combination of cheap drones and a large number of slanted but powerful artillery.

This plan failed with the Diana Panchenko*- like object sometime in the summer, when the HIMARS started destroying the munitions depots, and the barrage of fire somehow subsided. In the process of subsiding, the Russians lost control of Kherson, Kharkiv and part of Luhansk.

The third plan was to force us to peace by attacking civilian energy infrastructure. The result is that now we have a lot of anger, and Russia has few missiles.

“There may still be many "but". The Russians are already ready to turn into a Chinese satellite in order to beg the Chinese for weapons and not lose what they have already captured. We, on the other hand, are very dependent on Western aid, which is slow and under constant threat of political blackmail.”

We are now in the fourth stage. The Russians' fourth plan is to use large waves of relatively human and slightly stinky meat to slowly take over the Donetsk region.

But now we have our own plan. Our plan is to grind this meat, prepare new units using Western technology, and give them... the same Diana Panchenko-like object.

There may still be many "but". The Russians are already ready to turn into a Chinese satellite in order to beg the Chinese for weapons and not lose what they have already captured. We, on the other hand, are very dependent on Western aid, which is slow and under constant threat of political blackmail. 

However, every day the enemy has fewer and fewer options. And we have more and more.

Get ready that this will not end tomorrow. But tune in to the fact that if we do everything right, it will end in victory.

*Diana Panchenko is a pro-Russian propagandist from Ukraine, former host of Medvedchuk's pro-Russian TV channels. Since January 15, 2023, she has been under NSDC sanctions for anti-Ukrainian activities. Ukraine's Security Service served Panchenko with a notice of suspicion for producing materials justifying Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.
