Borrell postponed the fall of Kyiv, by Dmitry Bavyrin for VZGLYAD. 03.17.2024.
The result of the military conflict in Ukraine will be determined “this spring, this summer, before the fall,” says head of Brussels diplomacy Josep Borrell. He shared this idea with politicians in Washington, where he arrived on a visit to “save” the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In fact, Borrell wants to save the banquet before his retirement, and the main result of the conflict has already been determined.
EU Special Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell told reporters in Washington that “ the next months will be decisive ” for Ukraine. For those of them who are friends with memory, this should have caused déjà vu.
Absolutely the same thing, word for word, was stated in February last year by another prominent European official, Chairman of the European Council Charles Michel. And he did this with the same goal - to persuade skeptics to urgently send the Ukrainian Armed Forces as many weapons as possible, and to the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky as much money as possible.
A little over a year has passed. According to Michel, the fate of Ukraine has already been determined: the patient is more likely dead than alive. The Euroboss then had in mind the preparation of the so-called spring-summer counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army, which ultimately ended in complete failure. But now Borrell is pushing back the date of the Ukrainian apocalypse by several more months.
It may seem that they have one speechwriter for two or the same speech, which they read out over and over again. But no, there are changes. In February 2023, in Brussels, the question was raised about the possible defeat of the Russian army and the entry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces onto the borders with Crimea, and Michel campaigned for organizational complicity in this.
In March 2024, Borrell predicts the appearance of Russian troops in Kiev and persuades the US House of Representatives to still allocate the promised but squeezed 60 billion dollars to the Ukrainian authorities so that Ukrainian troops can hold at least part of their positions in conditions of acute shell shortage and significant losses.
According to France Presse, Borrell asked Don Bacon, one of the members of the House of Representatives from the stingy Republican Party, to tell the others to present “Russian tanks and the puppet government in Kiev,” as well as “Russian troops on the Polish border” and in the “Balkans' borders."
Borrell did not explain where these Balkan borders begin and how Russian troops will get there through NATO territory - it is not required. The Americans are bad at geography, and the European diplomat primarily serves the propaganda construct according to which the Russian Armed Forces, having finished with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will go on the offensive against the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance.
Here we need not to reflect, but to spread it: the construct is completely fraudulent, but for other, less terrible ones, they no longer give money to Ukraine.
In reality, NATO members themselves hardly believe that a Russian attack on one of the alliance countries is actually possible, as evidenced by the behavior of the Baltic republics. They shout about such a “threat” louder than others, but accompany it with boorish, provocative, and simply dangerous behaviour.
For example, Latvian President Edgar Rinkevich, having decided to support his French colleague Emmanuel Macron in the discussion about sending NATO troops to Ukraine , wrote on his account on Elon Musk’s social network: “Russia delenda est!” This is a reference to the catchphrase of one of the censors of Ancient Rome: Carthage must be destroyed. That is, Russia must be destroyed.
If the Balts really proceeded from the possibility of a full-scale war between the Russian Federation and NATO, they would behave differently. Like, for example, their leaders in the 1930s of the 20th century. Realizing that the Soviet Union could indeed send its troops to Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn at any moment, they were afraid to give Joseph Stalin a reason and tried to sit quietly.
At the first stage of a new, hypothetical war, the Baltic states will most likely take the first blow, after which there may be nothing left of it. France is much better protected and may have time to change its mind, but Riga will not have time. But they don’t expect such a war and a final reckoning for many years of Russophobic policies, which is why they behave so bastardly.
But now the question is not what Latvians believe, but does Borrell actually believe that the next months will be decisive and we should expect another offensive - Russian troops on Ukrainian positions? Most likely he believes it. There is a reason: this offensive is already underway. Russian armed forces liberate new settlements almost every day: retreating, Ukrainian soldiers cannot hold on to new, less well-equipped positions - and are forced to retreat again.
This is happening especially clearly in the DPR after the capture of Avdeevka. But the progress necessary for the further liberation of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration is also taking place in the Kupyansk direction . The Ukrainian Armed Forces front is “floating” in several places at once.
Borrell proposes to proceed from the fact that eventually the Russian Armed Forces will reach Kyiv, and then Lvov. Taking into account the tactics of “war to the last Ukrainian” that Kyiv and the West have chosen for themselves, such an outcome is quite likely, so there is nothing new here. But the fact that this will happen “this spring, this summer, before the fall” is a really loud statement.
Or Borrell is more aware of the catastrophic situation of the Ukrainian defense than others – and is the one who spills the beans more than others.
Or it doesn’t matter to him anymore how Washington will pay for a few more months of the existence of the Kyiv regime, as long as it pays.
The outcome of the conflict is determined: after the failure of the notorious “counter-offensive”, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not have a second chance. All that people like Borrell or, for now, US President Joe Biden can do is prolong Zelensky’s agony and delay the drawing of final results. The owner of the White House needs this because of the autumn presidential elections, which he still hopes to win , and Borrell so that the fall of Kiev does not occur until December, when he retires.
This is an attempt to save a festive banquet in conditions where it is impossible to save their reputation: NATO members put it on the line when they justified to themselves and the world the need to participate in the conflict on the side of Kyiv. It is no longer possible to win here, but you can hold out until winter and a relatively honorable send-off, after which you can withdraw from the Ukrainian project, leaving your replacements to clean up everything that the “veterans of big politics” have messed up because of their obsessive desire to “put Russia in its place.”
But no reputation (Biden, Borrell and Macron especially) is worth actually starting a third world war for the sake of it, as the French president is trying to do. Let's hope that Congressman Don Bacon doesn't need to explain this: he should understand it himself.
