The Ukraine will be partitioned either way, but only after the country is Demilitarized and Denazified, then the people of Novorossiya can secede without Kiev's ability to retaliate.

Orc base in Berdyansk liquidated

Leaflets were dropped in Mariupol, to summarize: Surrender or die

Col. Douglas McGergor has an excellent understanding of the situation:

Retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor: We are in a very dangerous position right now. The President of the United States wants Ukrainian pilots to go to Poland, climb into combat aircraft and fly to Ukraine to fight against Russia. This is the first decisive step across the red line that can make us participants in the war in Ukraine.
Moscow will not take this lightly. They have shown great restraint towards us, even though we have continued to supply large amounts of military equipment to the people they are fighting. But this step will take us too far.
The answers range from tactical guided missiles to destroy every airfield in Poland, or anywhere in Europe, to a nuclear strike. The good news is that Putin won't launch a nuclear strike if we don't. But still, it's dangerous, and no one seems to be paying attention.
Another important point: for Russians, this is a matter of survival. They will not allow Ukraine to join NATO or any other alliance that targets Russia. They need a neutral Ukraine. And we have to accept that. We must engage in de-escalation, not escalation.
What the Ukrainians say, we should take with reservations. In my experience, it's impossible to know exactly what's going on on the battlefield unless you're there yourself. We must keep in mind that much of what we hear from both sides may not be accurate.
[What is the US plan? Extend the war in Ukraine to what end?] I think the plan is to drag out the fighting with the expectation that eventually the Russians will be driven out of Ukraine. And if the Russian army cannot be driven out, and I think many people understand that this will not happen, then the plan is to completely destroy Ukraine by turning it into a quasi-Afghanistan.
That won't happen either. This will not happen because the Europeans will not agree to it. The Germans have made it clear that they will continue to buy energy and food from Russia, as many European countries do. Sanctions will do a lot of harm to us and will not affect Russia much.
China will stay with Russia. Russia has a lot of food and energy – China will take everything. Russia will not suffer as a result of our sanctions. We can only harm the financial system that we use to punish everyone we don't like.
