Russia’s patience with Ukrainian President Zelensky has run out, suggesting a full-scale military escalation, including decapitation strikes, infrastructure destruction, and targeting of foreign-supported drone networks, may soon follow.

Russia Finally Loses Patience

Ukraine’s nasty little dictator is beating his chest over what Western mainstream media is calling the most brilliant military operation since 300 Spartans held off the Persian Empire. The so-called “Spider Web” sabotage efforts deep in Russian territory are, according to old British generals, the next leap forward in warfare. However, reading the words of Dmitry Medvedev, we see the man who can say what the pragmatic statesman Vladimir Putin cannot, and we can find hints at what is about to take place. To quote directly from the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia on Telegram as he addressed all those curious as to what’s next:

“To all who are worried and expecting retribution. Don’t fret; it’s normal to be apprehensive. So yes, retribution is inevitable. Take a pause and remember this. Our Army still advancing and will continue to advance. And be assured, everything that must explode will certainly explode, and those who must be exterminated will disappear.”

The former Russian president and prime minister went on to say the Istanbul talks are essentially useless, since Zelensky and his handlers have no intention of attending to Russia’s concerns. Medvedev reasserted that the way to peace is a speedy Russian victory and the destruction of the neo-Nazi government in Ukraine. A conversation between U.S. President Donald Trump and President Putin the other day confirms that the Americans understand Russia will retaliate and that the current peace discussions are useless.

After all the diplomatic manoeuvring by Western leaders, the initial reason for the military operation remains paramount. For Zelensky’s part, he says agreeing to Russia’s terms means capitulation or surrender. And for those serious about ending this conflict, this is precisely what needs to happen. Ukraine must surrender while there are still any conditions left in Kyiv’s favor.

The Coming Storm

Now let’s look at some bitter realities for Zelensky and Co. First, President Putin has been reluctant to obliterate large sections of Kyiv and other cities. Where war is concerned, he’s handled the Slavic brothers in Ukraine with kid gloves. However, my knowledge of the man tells me he realises he did his best, and it’s a new day. Here’s what may happen in the days and weeks to come.

Ukraine has twenty-three airfields from which military operations might take off. The largest of these is Air Station Kulbakyne, one of the few operational ones. You can see what looks like five SU27 fighters sitting on........
