Russia’s NEW plan is to starve Ukraine (again)

Video Summary

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has entered its 66th day, with estimates suggesting over 23,000 Russian soldiers have been killed. Despite the setback, Russia is adapting its tactics, including bombing railroad stations and rail lines to prevent Western resupply. Ukraine is also attacking Russian rail lines, causing logistical disruptions. Russia’s economy is expected to shrink by 10% this year, with its GDP potentially falling below that of Spain’s. This could lead to a significant decrease in the average Russian’s standard of living.

Russia’s strategy appears to be to take control of Ukraine’s port cities, making the country landlocked and increasing its bargaining power in future negotiations. The country has already caused an estimated $88 billion in damage, and is illegally seizing grain from occupied territories, potentially creating an artificial famine. This tactic is reminiscent of the Holodomor, a man-made famine in Ukraine in the 1930s that killed millions.

The US is providing support to Ukraine, with President Biden requesting an additional $30 billion in funding. The Lend-Lease Act, which allows for quick resupply of partner nations, has been approved by Congress. NATO is also prepared to support Ukraine in a war that could last years. Meanwhile, Russian state TV is discussing the possibility of using nuclear weapons, with some pundits suggesting that Russia may be already fighting World War III.
