Russia Conducts Massive Kiev Strike; Plans Ground Operation; Zelensky Demands More EU Money; Drones
"I'd already received some weeks ago a tip off from an extremely reliable source that a Russian advance into Chernig from Brians region is indeed in the course of preparation. And for the record, last night that source contacted me again and reminded me that in May, he did indeed give me this tip off. And the source told me that he stands by the tip off."
A reliable intelligence source has informed the speaker that Russia is preparing a major offensive toward Kiev through Chernigov region from Bryansk, contrary to speculation about an attack from Belarus. Ukrainian military chief General Syrsky has reportedly stated that Russian forces have received orders to capture Kiev. The ongoing Russian operations around Sumy appear consistent with this plan, as the city lies on the main road to Kiev.
