Putin Ally: War Not Going As Planned!
A close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin admits that the war in Ukraine is not going as Putin had planned or expected.
Reuters is reporting that Viktor Zolotov, chief of Russia’s national guard and a member of Putin’s security council, has admitted on the record that progress has been slower than Putin expected, however, blaming what he called far-right Ukrainian forces hiding behind civilians.
“I would like to say that yes, not everything is going as fast as we would like,” Zolotov said in comments posted on the National Guard’s website.
“But we are going towards our goal step by step, and victory will be for us.”
The United States and its European allies have cast Putin’s invasion as an imperial-style land grab that has so far been poorly executed because Moscow underestimated Ukrainian resistance.
Ukraine, which says it is fighting for its survival and denies Russian claims that its forces have used “civilians as shields” in battle and has accused Moscow of war crimes for indiscriminately killing civilians.
Zolotov has been at Putin’s side since before the turn of the century, running the Kremlin leader’s personal security for 13 years. Since 2016 he has headed up the National Guard force, which reports directly to Putin and has deployed troops in Ukraine.
His comments, made at a church service led by Orthodox Patriarch Kirill on Mar. 13, deviated from those of the Kremlin and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who say Russia’s operation in Ukraine is going just as planned and will be completed on time and in full.
Shoigu said claims by the United States and European Union that Putin was somehow disappointed with the progress of what the Kremlin casts as a special military operation amounted to a provocation aimed at prompting Russia to storm cities.
“All the plans of the Russian leadership will be achieved on time and in full,” he said of Ukraine.
Dear Vladimir, Things are not going well in the USA either, the liberal lefts plan to make all Americans puppets to their climate change agenda is failing. Failing because a very few Americans were taught how to Critically Think for themselves and understand what BS climate change concern is. And puppet czar joe biden can’t keep his dick out of his mouth long enough to counter the anti climate change rhetoric.
Very well stated. I agree 100%! Pedophile Joe not only stole an election but immediately put in the evil agenda of the small minority, leftist climate loonies! Now, the everyday Patriotic, America loving citizens are paying a steep price. Whether by this next election, or by taking up arms, I believe God is about to end their miserable existence! God bless!
Joe Biden is doing exactly what his bosses in China have told him to do. Nobody could be that feckless and clueless accidentally. He’s paying back the CCP for backroom deals brokered through Hunter in an attempt to insulate and create plausible deniability. As Elon Musk calls Biden he is a “soggy sock puppet”. No matter how Biden Pelosi Schumer and Kerry try they will never subjugate the silent majority.
‘The Guns of August’, part deux? Same region, similar alliances that could again spin out of control. The ghost ghost of Lenin, like Dracula, refuses to die.
Completely different regions and completely different alliances.
The Ruskies will never win against the Ukrainians. The best Putin can hope for is to remove the current Ukrainian government and then end up with another guerilla war like the quagmire they got themselves into in Afghanistan.
The Ruskies got a tiger by the tail and they are going to feel like the Britts in Northern Ireland. The open war there went on for over 70 years and in fact, pushing 100 years after it started,still erupts every once in a while to this day.The Ukrainians are just as nationalistic as the IRA members and will fight just as hard and as long and will NEVER surrender.
It is a total no win for Rootin, Tooin, Pootin. He will never do it but the best thing he could do is to turn tail and run. The Russians will never win but the Ukrainians will never loose.
Interesting but not surprising that the Russian Orthodox Church – the hierarchy at least – is fully supportive of Putin. They were also hand-in-glove with Stalin during his blood-soaked years. I’m convinced that their jealousy and hatred for the Roman Catholic Church and its various rites as practiced in the Ukraine is supplying fuel to Adolf Putin’s suicidal campaign. Hope they all go down in flames together! =
Vlad, u underestimated your adversary, and your indiscriminate slaughter of civilians,hasn’t gone unnoticed. U are about to pay a very heavy price, for killing russians and defenseless Ukrainians,children,woman, and disabled. All hell from the heavens is going to rain down on u,if u don’t stop this genecide, on innocent people.The world has turned against u, and your mistake will be very costly, starting a war u can’t finish, and should of never started.Evil is coming your way,because even your own army is not with u, and giving up, which u should also do,before it’s to late.
Putin is just another stooge of the Chinese Communist Party as is Biden. In the end both will be used and discarded once they play their roles. Biden sold us out many years ago and Putin will fo as he’s told. Russia may have nukes but they are a nation in decline. Nobody will subjugate the American people not China not Russia not Iran not Biden.
God Bless America
Make sure you pass it on to Putin “the Genius” that his war is not going to plan. He needs to hear it. Don’t be surprised if he shoots the messenger.
