Fighting in Ukraine to slow over winter months, US intelligence says – BBC News



The fighting in Ukraine has been gradually slowing down, and is likely to continue doing so over the winter months, US intelligence says.

Fighting had eased following Russia’s withdrawal of troops from the west of the Kherson region last month, US director of intelligence Avril Haines said.

She added both Ukraine and Russian militaries would be looking to prepare for any counter-offensive after the winter.

The war in Ukraine is now in its ninth month, but Russia has lost more than half the land it seized.

  1. Russian peace terms:

    – The Ukrainian evacuation of the entire 4 counties, as they already officially belong to Russia, even Crimea, which has been part of Russia since 2014!

    – Handing over to Russia a 20 km security zone from the northern course of the Dnieper (north of Kiev) to the Russian-controlled areas of Kharkiv. (From the area of ​​Chernihiv County, Summi County and Kharkiv County.

    -Similar to the British naval bases in Cyprus, the provision of a Russian naval port and barracks for a fully manned division in Odessa. The area is a minimum: 45 square miles would be just the US base at Guantanamo in Cuba. (this would be a Russian enclave, just like Kaliningrad) Russians from Odessa could move here, reducing ethnic tension.

    – Russian will be the official language throughout Ukraine and the other nationalities can also freely use their mother tongue and ensure the rights of nationalities – compliance with the Minsk agreement regarding nationalities.

    – Release of prisoners of war.

    – Cessation of hostilities.

    -Ukraine cannot be a member of NATO.

    – In the event of a violation of this or an international crisis, Russian troops may enter Ukraine.

    These would be the main aspects in the direction of the Russian peace treaty. Ukraine's main nationality problem would be solved. About 7 million Russians and 1.5 million Ukrainians would come to Russia (of which more than 82.3% would be of Russian nationality). The proportion of nationalities in Ukraine is approx. It would drop to 5%. "You can get used to the truth."

  2. Israel does war crime even in winter. People talk about Ukraine 🇺🇦 because it’s European country, but don’t talk about Palestine 🇵🇸 because it’s Middle East country.

  4. that story of that price cap is just a bit different if the oil falls below the earning model then there is a chance that russia will stop oil production now that is not the worst but what is worse is that if no oil flows through the pump pipes the rest of the oil freezes in it and thus destroys the pipes. This is not only a costly joke but also a long-lasting joke because all oil wells then have to be drilled again. the last time this went wrong was in the 1990s and it took almost thirty years to fix everything.

    so for a layman it is easy to say push the cap below the production price but this can have very long lasting consequences. Putin won't care if the mess freezes, he won't experience the consequences anyway

  5. this war is a punishment for the murder of 200,000 Polish women, children and the elderly in 1944-1947, the genocide of the Ukrainian Nazis, Hitler's accomplices, will never be forgotten by Poles

  9. "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Jesus Christ

    We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God

    Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household
