QATAR & OMAN DELEGATIONS IN IRAN, AIRSPACE CLOSED, STRIKES FEARED — w/ Prof. Glenn Diesen
"Putin very recently made the comment that after we're done with Donbas we're going to also liberate Novorossiya which is the historical southern lands of what is today Ukraine. That means Nikolaev and Odessa as well and if the Russians succeed this is essentially going to make Ukraine a landlocked rump state."
Glenn Diesen reports Putin has stated intentions to take southern Ukrainian cities including Nikolaev and Odessa after completing conquest of Donbas, which would leave Ukraine without sea access. Diesen argues Ukrainian forces are depleted and heavily fortified defensive lines are now behind Russian positions, setting stage for potential rapid territorial gains.
