How the KYIV Government sees the Russian Ground operation - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.05pm post the following, " Kyiv sees no signs on the ground that Russia has given up a plan to surround the Ukrainian capital, according to Ukrainian defence ministry spokesperson Oleksander Motuzyanyk.  "

Lets Get Real:

What the Russians say and do are two different things, the have LIED, LIED since the start of the CRISIS, why the French President wants to keep talking to Putin is anybody's guess, of course he has an election coming up and wants to be seen as international stateman, nice try but he looks foolish, he is talking to a WAR CRIMINAL, who has lied to his face and make him look foolish when he made him sit at a very long table away from President Putin.   The Russians are past masters at fake news, they want the WEST to think that they are changing their bad strategy, it has been postulated that the RUSSIANS are refreshing their troops for a bigger battle over KYIV and to the WEST, it was suggested yesterday that the Russians are trying to create a West and East Ukraine, as in Korea.  The KYIV Government an Army have to stop that with the support of the West.

The THREAT to CUT OFF Gas from Russia to Europe - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.39pm post the following, on the Russian demand that Europe pays for its gas in Roubles, " Germany's energy minister has said meeting the demand would be a "one-sided and clear breach of the existing contracts".....He added that "payment in rouble is not acceptable and we will urge the companies affected not to follow [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's demand"....In retaliation, a Russian politician said the G7's refusal will definitely lead to a halt in supplies, according to Ria news agency.   "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are bluffing, without the money from the West the Russian State would fall apart and the War in the Ukraine would be OVER FAST,  and the Western economy would be stalled.  Thus the Russians have bluffed using the WRONG weapon, if they threatened a NATO country that would get the attention of the West and the US.  That is also a bad move, NATO has 30 Countries and Russia just has Russia at the end the day, the West would wipe the floor with the Russians, and any major defeat from that would bring down the the Putin Regime, of course that is based on Putin being semi sane, if he has gone off his rocker that is a different game, and the West should be calling for REGIME CHANGE.  The question is, is Putin a great poker player or has he lost the deck and is striking at what he can.   The next few days will be interesting on that count. 

Peace TALKS between Russia and Ukraine - Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.08pm post the following, " Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has now said it's unlikely they will begin on Monday, but may start on Tuesday..."Regrettably, we cannot say there have been any significant achievements or breakthroughs so far," he added..  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are using talks to get some free good PR, they have no intention of getting a REAL DEAL, the Russians have made it clear that Putin will not meet with the President of the Ukraine at the present, they want to place more pressure on the Ukraine, they want to kill more people and destroy the Ukraine State.   The Russians have been helped by the gaffe by President Biden in Poland, when he stated the following on Putin, "  For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.  " the European West has backtracked on that, on that issue they were helped by the Biden White House, who talked backed the comments before the President got to his car.  That was a mistake by the Biden Oval, when a President says whatever one is thinking and is overruled by Foggy Bottom ( the US State Department ) no one can trust what Biden's says, it gives ground to the idea that Biden cannot be trusted out by himself and has gone gaga. The Biden Oval should have owned the comment and make the US State Department and Western Europe support it, what would have they done, said that Putin was ? Hardly.  The comment went down well in the Ukraine, and they are doing the fighting and getting killed by the Russians.  In 1987 when President Reagan was in Berlin he talked to his National Security Advisor, that the US State Department did not want him to say Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall ( Berlin Wall ), the President overruled them and did it his way, in 1989 the Wall came down, but in most footage it is showing going down after the Reagan speech.  It makes you believe that the Gipper could see how that part of the speech would be played in the future.
