Russia amasses 160,000 soldiers for new Ukraine offensive
Russia could initiate an intensified summer offensive in Ukraine within days or weeks, possibly involving 160,000 troops gathered near the front line, CNN reported on July 17. The report suggests Russia aims to exploit a 50-day pause before potential U.S. sanctions.
Analysts note that over the past two weeks, Russia has strengthened its positions in the Pokrovsk, Kupyansk, and Kostiantynivka sectors. Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, commented on the CNN report, stating that the Russian offensive has not stopped. “The intensity has varied, Russia’s army has been halted by Ukraine’s Defense Forces, and all the ‘new’ reports in the media are just the injection of additional reserves into an ongoing effort,” he said.
U.S. analyst Keir Giles from Chatham House wrote that the 50-day window provides Moscow with diplomatic maneuvering room. “The deadline of 50 days gives Russia plenty of time to concoct its own alternative plan, and once again outmanoeuvre Washington through a diplomatic ploy which Trump may well accept willingly,” he stated.
“Trump’s latest extension of his notional deadlines for Putin extends Ukraine’s suffering for the same arbitrary period.”
Of course it does. Trump is selling aid to Ukraine, but he's stalled so long that it will take a while to get there and in the meantime, he's given Putin 50 days to try and overwhelm the Ukrainian defences and force a surrender. Don't be fooled, he hasn't changed his spots. Trump is still assisting Putin. He's just makimg the noises he needs to keep the pro-Ukraine wing of the Republicans on side for now.

Now factor in THE SIX MONTH DELAY IN FUNDING FOR UKRAINE THAT WAS ORGANIZED BY THE TRAITOROUS ORANGR POS, AND THE OTHER ACTS OF SABOTAGE ORCHESTRATED BY THE TRAITOROUS ORANGE POS & THE MAGAT REPUBLICANS THAT UNDERMINED THE UKRAINIAN WAR EFFORT.

We. Told. Them. So.
