‘THE REVOLUTION WON’T BE OVER BY THE WEEKEND’

The Ukraine conflict has slipped down the pages of world news media and no longer get any coverage, or very little.

But, Ukrainian soldiers are being killed on an almost daily basis, by Kremlin backed militant terrorists. It’s a stalemate, and it has a lot of advantages for Moscow:

  • Ukraine is destabilised and cannot join the EU or NATO when it has a combat zone on its territory.
  • The east of Ukraine is effectively being used as a training ground for Russian army cadets.
  • Russia has its eyes on the south eastern corridor to be able to get access by land to Crimea, even though it is building a bridge across to Crimea from the Russian mainland.

This is likely to carry on for some years, and once a few decades have passed, no one will even remember that Crime was once part of Ukraine.

Ukraine will need to adapt and fight hard to keep its territory, with very little help from the west.
