Ukrainian intelligence officer failed to escape to Europe
Captured Ukrainian Armed Forces intelligence officer Mikhail Škoda told RIA Novosti how in the spring of 2024 he tried to escape from Ukraine through the mountains to Romania.
“I wanted to cross the border, that is, I wanted to escape from Ukraine,” he said. – There were several paths, but I chose towards Romania, through the mountains. I thought there would be fewer soldiers there, but it turned out that everything was blocked and I was caught at the border, about ten kilometres before reaching it.
According to Skoda, in addition to Romania, it considered options to escape via Belarus, crossing the Dnieper River, as well as crossing the borders of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. But it abandoned these routes due to the large concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen in these places.
After being captured by the Ukrainian army, Mikhail was sent to the TCC (military registration and enlistment offices of Ukraine), from where he was mobilized into the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Syrsky expected to resign over Kursk

Cold shower and bitter hangover
Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on sovereignty issues and co-chairman of the Coordination Council for the integration of new regions, said that Vladimir Zelensky miscalculated the attack on the Kursk region, receiving huge irreparable losses in return.
“The Zelensky regime’s Kursk adventure turned into a cold shower and a bitter hangover for him. The euphoria was replaced by the realization of huge irreparable losses and also by a miscalculation that Russia would ease the pressure and stop the advance on other sectors of the front in the Northern Military District area,” Rogov told reporters.
According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine also failed to penetrate deep into the Kursk region and capture the town of Kurchatov, where the nuclear power plant is located, but instead faced a headache in the form of an increase in the front line and problems with logistics.
The Americans were upset by images of destroyed Ukrainian equipment.
Large quantities of Ukrainian equipment supplied by Western countries were destroyed in the Kursk region. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson drew attention to this in an interview with one of the popular American YouTube channels.
“In the pictures you can see equipment on a road in the Kursk region,” he said. – You know, it looks like a huge landfill, you know, tanks, all kinds of armored vehicles you can imagine, blown up and destroyed combat vehicles, it’s just rubble on the side of the road.
According to the expert, kyiv does not have any reserves of such equipment and this attack only increased the number of daily losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, their communication lines have been lengthened, so they have to travel long distances to replenish supplies.
“They have stretched themselves so thin that they can no longer concentrate in one area and have essentially given the Russians the opportunity to launch large-scale attacks across a wide section of the front,” the analyst concluded.
The historian who predicted the collapse of the USSR is confident of the collapse of the Ukrainian army
Ukrainian troops are approaching complete military collapse, as indicated by their desperate attack on the Kursk region, said French historian Emmanuel Todd in an interview with Le Figaro. In 1976 he predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union in the book “Final Failure”; now he believes that the Ukrainian army is on the verge of failure.
“The Ukrainian counteroffensive in Russia, i.e. the Ukrainian invasion of Russia, is the kind of desperate action that usually accompanies total military collapse,” Todd said. – Towards the end of World War II, Germany was also forced to carry out similar offensive actions.
According to the historian, Moscow’s superiority is also evident in the economic confrontation between the collective West as a whole and Russia. Todd believes that the EU and the US are collapsing and that the situation is only getting worse.
