Thanks. Quite insightful! I also thought that self-praising over your own YouTube channel is disqualifying in addition to the many details revealed. Anyone suspects that there are SSO operatives deep in Russia but their task is not made easier when their presence is confirmed by their boss
And to add two more cents of mine to the other topic: I don’t think that Zaluzhny, whose media appearances were up to now very carefully controlled, suddenly unleashed himself and gave an interview and an essay to the Economist without Zelensky administration vetting it. In the cascade of media events, now it might have a bad taste, the message might have been muddied and hence the administration might want to distance from it, to pretend that his was an independent of it oponion, but again I do not think it was a solo (even less Han Solo) action.
I just wish The Economist didn't misrepresent what Zaluzhnyi actually said. The conflict is *at risk* of stalemate if Ukraine doesn't get the support it needs. The longer essay that he wrote, the pre-edited version, makes that a lot more clear.
But all the western media jerks can hear is "stalemate! stalemate! negotiate!"
Think the Economist article is a problem due to their framing. Read the entire nine page essay, completely different message than the shorthand article. ISW’s analysis supports this take as well.
Well this was enlightening, and I tend to agree these things happlets hope it clears in short orderan Ukraine moves onn in a democracy, I also can't imagine Zelensky trusting the media that much/way
Dear Stefan, thanks a lot once again for the great analysis of the situation. I'm happy I found your substack after I deleted all Meta accounts including Facebook. Kind regards from Germany and stay safe! Franklin

Thanks Stefan! It all makes sense. Great analysis!
Arestovych? That man was a running joke two weeks into the war. Now he is just a mad clown, nobody in their right mind would vote for him.
Sir: thank you for that truly insightful and detailed analysis of this particularly F.U.B.A.R. of a S.N.A.F.U. Damn what a ClusterF@%$!!!!!

Thanks, Stefan! Some parts are right on spot, others I cant judge on but I assume that these are also on spot.
Looks like the Sultan sent a silk rope to warn Zaluzhnyi: https://t.me/ASupersharij/25072

And by the way this is a terrific and helpful article!
So, this SpecOps man was who allowed the counterattack to burn on the mines near Rabotino?
