While no media have a good track record of outlining the conflict in Ukraine, retired Col. Douglas Macgregor has the most consistent perspective that reconciles what little factual information is visible with the reality on the ground.
In this recent interview, Macgregor notes the Russian operation is currently focused on securing the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine, where fighting has been taking place since 2014. During an earlier interview on CNN, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy noted the largest and most experienced elements of the Ukrainian army are located in this region. According to Zelenskyy, approximately 44,000 Ukrainian troops are there; oddly, Zelenskyy seemed to concede that he has no control over what’s happening there.
During this segment, Macgregor notes the current Russian objective is to encircle those eastern Ukraine forces, cut them off from western supply lines, and then slowly and methodically eliminate them – while separating them from Russian speaking citizens in the region. Macgregor notes a particular concern once those Ukraine forces are eliminated. WATCH:
What Col. Macgregor states toward the end rings very true to the practical events being discussed.
The most dangerous time will be when the Russians are close to achieving their objective in Eastern Ukraine, and the western media will be faced with having to reconcile the difference between the propaganda they have been selling to western citizens and the actual truth on the ground. That’s when the western alliance is likely to do something drastic.
It seems that calling the Kyiv regime ‘neo-nazi’ is not a big exaggeration.
A Ukrainian law Ensuring the use of Ukrainian as the state language (signed by then president P. Poroshenko on April 25, 2019) Ukrainian as the only state language in Ukraine, even though 40%-60% of the population speaks Russian as their native language.
This law also makes the knowledge of the Ukrainian language mandatory for every citizen. Further, the law establishes 6 levels and sublevels of proficiency in Ukrainian, from A1 to C2, and requires a non-defined level of proficiency in Ukrainian for all positions of importance in the government, including elected officials in the central government and local administrations, Parliament members, candidates, and some professions within the private sector.
This law also established a National Commission for State Language Standards, with the following powers:
– Determining the required level of proficiency for each governmental position
– Defining the criteria and conducting exams, certifying the proficiency level in the state language of an individual, and issuing appropriate certificates
Thus, this Commission effectively determines who is allowed to run for elections and hold governmental positions. Also, a public online Registry containing full names and certificates of all certificates owners is established by this law.
This law also creates an office of Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language with the powers of prosecuting and punishing alleged violations of this law.
Apparently, that makes the National Commission for State Language Standards and a Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language the top authority in Ukraine.
This law also requires that any education taught in other languages, spoken by national minorities (including Russian), is to be conducted only in segregated classes for those minorities, and is not to be mixed with the majority, who is being taught in Ukrainian. The law also hints that public education in Russian may be limited to pre-school and primary school, even in segregated classes.

I think I would support English here in the U.S. along those lines. Does that make me a Nazi?
Exactly. Great point.
to Democrats … Yes …
Soon 40-60% of the U.S. will be Spanish speaking if the illegal immigration continues apace.
You put my thoughts right out there.
If there was another official language in the US and you removed it for English, yes.
This is similar to what Czar Aleksander did to the Ukrainian language. Stalin also did this. So what u r seeing is an attempt to restore Ukrainian to Ukraine.

Maybe they should get their asses out of Ukraine.
Spetznaz boys gonna walk all over them. The Americans over there were fighting goat herders in caves, not trained warriors.
So….the story here is Russia is not feeling any urgency due to the sanctions as the West watches a slow, methodical squeeze on Ukraine?
How come no negotiation then?
Russia has been open to negotiation all along. They have asked the Ukraine gov., the Biden Crime Family’s pals, to honor the Minsk Accords, but Zelensky is apparently acting at the behest of NATO in refusing to negotiate.
Wow, that’s incredible! Where did you read/hear that?
If the media were completely unbiased, you would think they would interview both sides.
The obvious promotion of the Elensky narrative (eg, the Washington DC narrative) is just too damm obvious.
(Ukraine banned the Z and V letters of the alphabet, thus the new and improved spelling of his name.)
Zelinsky’s government outlawed all other political parties well before Russia invaded. They are also a dictatorship, not a free democracy.
Also, Zelinsky took control of all of the media in Ukraine … so that happened: again, not a democracy.
Quite apart from the merits of the case, the narrative narrative we are getting which is that Gallant little Ukraine is fighting for freedom and democracy, that’s just not correct.
I am very suspicious that all of the world’s Worst People want us to fight for Ukraine against Russia and claim to have humanitarian motives. My friends, the globalists would not know a humanitarian motive it it bit them in the butt.
This is along the same lines as Macgregor has been stating.
