>There is good reason to think such a reconsideration is possible, since Xi has adjusted course under pressure before. Faced with street demonstrations and other clear expressions of public dissatisfaction, he abruptly abandoned his “zero COVID” policy. In response to the China strategy forged over the course of the Trump and Biden administrations, he changed his approach to the United States. Early in his tenure, Xi seemed to have concluded that the United States and the West more generally were in terminal decline, presenting an opportunity for China to assert itself on the global stage; a strong U.S. response backed by a clear bipartisan consensus, real strategic investment, and a common front with friends and allies prompted Xi to reconsider. The result was a decision to reengage with the United States, including by meeting with President Joe Biden in San Francisco last November, in an attempt to arrest the decline in U.S.-Chinese relations.
>By decisively curbing the adventurism of Xi’s axis partners, Washington could cause him to change course once again. It would surely be in his interest to do so. For if the recklessness of his partners brings sustained global instability and conflict, Xi himself would bear much of the blame for preventing the Communist Party from fulfilling its pledges to make China a “moderately developed economy” by 2035 and a “strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious, and modern socialist country” by 2049. The right U.S. strategy could make Xi understand that he can best serve his own interests by breaking with the axis of losers.https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-11224-another-big-tone-change
>In short, the West’s top analysts now understand the severity of the situation. For a variety of converging reasons, Ukraine seems to have 6-12 months left of fighting at this pace, with this level of “support” from the West. […]
>Last time it was Budanov himself who said Russia may gun for Zaporozhye city, now we have an unverified report from ‘German intelligence’:
< "Russian Armed Forces are preparing for a major offensive in the Zaporizhia region," German intelligence says
< According to the source, Russian military units have already completed training at one of the training grounds. The offensive will involve a lot of equipment, including infantry fighting vehicles and tanks. "This is due to the terrain, along which Russian servicemen plan to advance quickly." It is reported that the main attack could be made in the coming weeks.
>The thing is, this report is actually corroborated by the sighting of ongoing fortifications being built near Dnipro and Pavlograd:
< The predictions of various experts regarding the advance of the Russian Armed Forces towards Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk indirectly confirm the data on the intensification of engineering work on fortification around these cities.
< The Ukrainian Armed Forces suddenly started digging where nothing had ever been erected or built. For example, in the village of Peschanoe, 10 km from Dnepropetrovsk towards Pavlodar. That is, Pavlodar itself was unlucky.[…]
>Here’s Rezident UA channel, which, despite many people considering a mostly propaganda channel, has actually been proven accurate more times than not: ⚡️⚡️⚡️#Insider
< MI-6 passed on new intelligence to the OP and the General Staff that the Kremlin is preparing a main offensive in Donbass with the onset of cold weather, for this purpose 8 new brigades have been formed and armed. The operation will begin after the capture of Pokrovsk, the front will be divided into two parts, the main attack on Pavlograd and a flank attack on Slavyansk/Kramatorsk. British intelligence recommends that Zelensky withdraw troops from the Kursk region and concentrate on the defense of Pokrovsk, which is the key to these plans.[…]
>This is corroborated by other previous reports that said after the May mobilization, Ukraine hit a monthly peak of 30-35k but then dropped to less than half of that.
>So, using all the above figures, if we know that total monthly mobilization is somewhere around 15,000 to 20,000 as per several independent reports. The wording he uses is a little odd: “one and a half times less”. But if we are to assume this is the same as “one and a half times greater” than the mobilization number, then 15k and 20k multiplied by 1.5 gets us between 22.5k and 30k monthly losses. This would be 750 to 1,000 losses per day.
>However, he states specifically these are sanitary losses, which accounts for both types of wounded. We can further break this down with KIA being roughly 1/3 or so, which would make 250-350 KIA, and the rest distributed between light wounded and irrecoverably wounded or maimed. That means about 550-600 per day would be irrecoverable losses, which is KIA plus heavily wounded only.[…]
>If you add that to the total losses of 1,000 or so at the high end, we get almost 1,380 daily losses of all types, 200, 300, and 500. […]
< Out of 100 mobilized Ukrainians, on average, no more than 10 people reach the front due to desertion and terrible training, said the former deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council and former deputy head of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine, Major General Serhiy Krivonos.[…]
>In general, it’s hard to imagine the AFU surviving such attrition rates for longer than 6 months. If they are recruiting 20k but losing 30k, that means the entire armed forces is essentially losing a net 10k men per month. In only 6 months that would be 10k x 6 = 60k, which would represent roughly one major city-front area, like a Bakhmut or Avdeevka. At 12 months it would be 120k, representing an entire front-region, like Zaporozhye, or the entire Donetsk front, etc. Perhaps this is why the Pentagon has now said Ukraine only has 6-12 months of troops left? >>2011366Ukrainian diaspora were actually one of two groups to vote for Poroshenko over Zelensky. The other was Lviv region, natch.
Didn't matter, but Zelensky was elected on obeying Minsk 2.

The Ukrainian parliament has passed a law introducing criminal liability for storing firewood without proper paperwork about its origin, local media have reported. The country faces an energy crisis in the coming winter, amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The Verkhovna Rada, the nation’s legislature, adopted the new rule last month, and it now awaits Vladimir Zelensky’s signature, the outlet Strana said on Sunday.
Ukrainian lawyer Aleksey Kinebas told the public broadcaster Suspilne that once the law comes into force, people could face “either administrative or criminal punishment simply for the storage, transportation or sale of firewood.” Ukraine has criminalized logging without a permit.
"For example, two people, a married couple, store firewood worth over 30,000 hryvnia (around $730) and have no documents showing where they bought it. In this case, they could face from five to seven years in prison,” he said.
