UK Tells Ukraine to Pivot Towards Crimea

Amazing that the Europeans are advancing the entanglement of a full scale war with Russia with zero capability of sustaining the effort. The British seem to think Crimea and their long range missiles are the way to go. No doubt because they are running out of humans to put into the meat grinder. More on what we are not being told regarding Ukraine.

This post follows yesterday’s post:

Here is the latest from Zero Hedge:

British military officials advised that Ukraine should focus on defense in its ground fight against Russia in the east while focusing on targeted strikes against Crimea and Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, The Sunday Times reported.

“This will allow the Ukrainians to focus their efforts on the Black Sea and Crimea, where their forces, with the help of Western long-range missiles, have landed significant blows over the past six months,” the report said.

A recording of a conversation between German military officers that was recently published by Russian media revealed that the UK has soldiers “on the ground” in Ukraine helping Ukrainian forces use Storm Shadow missiles, which have a range of 155 miles, making them capable of hitting targets throughout Crimea.

Attacks on Crimea have always been considered a red line for Russian President Vladimir Putin. But the risk of escalation hasn’t stopped Ukraine’s Western backers from assisting with such strikes, as Storm Shadows have been reported to be used in multiple Ukrainian attacks on Crimea.

The UK has also helped Ukraine strike Russian ships in the Black Sea. Another recent report from the Times credited Radakin with helping “the Ukrainians with the strategy to destroy Russian ships and open up the Black Sea.”

Poland’s foreign minister earlier this month: NATO troops are already in Ukraine.
