US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Kyiv, on an unannounced visit.
It’s the first visit to Ukraine by a senior US official since Congress passed a 61-billion-dollar aid package in April, to aid Ukraine’s war effort.
Blinken’s visit is seen as a show of support for the country, as it faces intensifying attacks from Russia in the Kharkiv region.
Al Jazeera’s John Holman has the latest in Kyiv.

Great news Slava Ukraini
Zelenskyy regime is on its last legs and it can’t be propped up even until November. Ukraine lost almost all its pre war equipment in 2022, then it emptied stock of Eastern Europe. Use of western tanks and IFVs there is a logistical nightmare. It can be done only out of desperation. Ukraine managed to survive for so long by throwing hundreds of thousands of its soldiers into a meat grinder, but it’s not sustainable. It completely destroyed Ukrainian morale. At this point nobody in his right mind wants to die for Zelenskyy. Ukrainian army is only a pale shadow of itself at the beginning of the war in terms of personnel and equipment.
If Ukrainians continue following USA stupidly,all of Ukraine will be in rubbles
Russian shovels are on Vodka while Ukraine is on gendered war 😂
Such unannounced visits are not helpful at all. Less empty words, more aid, and lifting restrictions on Ukraine using aid weapons to attack Russia are what really matter.
BEFORE YOU BLAME RUSSIA OVER UKRAINE WAR HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEYOND WESTERN PROPAGANDA
By Great Imo Jonathan
Eastern Ukrainians are indigenous to the land they occupy today in Ukraine and they are ethnic Russians who no longer want to be part of a murderous Nazist Kiev Government that have killed over fourteen thousand ethnic Russians in the last eight years before Russia intervened. Under the United Nations Charter on People’s and Human Right, they reserve the right to self determination like many other countries that gained independence from their former principal states, including those forced by US and NATO, like Kosovo and Southern Sudan. Those who support the killing of ethnic Russians in Ukraine are evil. That’s why God has brought judgement upon Ukraine.
NATO started this conflict back in 2008 when they told the World that Ukraine will be part of NATO. But these western HYPOCRITES forgot about the Munroe Doctrine that made Russia to allow them sphere of influence over Cuba, which stopped an impending nuclear war in the sixties.
Yet the west is trying hard to provoke war with China over Taiwan, knowing fully well that Taiwan is originally part of China and has never been an independent state. That is how hypocritical western nations are.
Things escalated in 2014 when the West orchestrated a Coup in Ukraine and overthrew the legitimately elected Government and installed a Puppet regime under their control, preparatory to using keiv for proxy war with Russia and building biological weapons laboratories where blood samples of ethnic Russians were being used for experiment while NATO was building and equipping over four hundred thousand Ukrainian army mixed with Nazists that will fight Russia.
This gives credence to their 1993 strategic plan to infuse NATO military machine with a willing Slavic expendables to fight, weaken and destroy Russia.
Russia then took back Crimea to ensure the West didn’t get their hands on the Military Base located there. This is not withstanding the fact that there is an existing pact between Russia and Ukraine that gave right of occupancy to Russia for about fifty years following the creation of Ukraine from the old Soviet state and the piece of harbouring Russia’s black sea fleet is the exact geography.
US and NATO then armed and trained the Ukrainian army at a rate of 50,000 per year for the sole purpose of fighting Russians both inside Ukraine and mother Russia. By 2022, over 300,000 standing Ukrainian army had been readied with weapons supplied by America. It was a public knowledge because Donald Trump was impeached by the US Congress for withholding supply of arms at a time even when here was no war with Russia.
Having been trained and armed by US and NATO, Ukrainian army attacked the indigenous ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine vigorously for rejecting the illegal Government installed in Kiev by NATO following maidon revolution which America spent over five billion dollars to create according to exposed conversation by Victoria Nuland. Ukraine started killing ethnic Russians in Ukraine with a mandate to attack Russia if it intervened because war mongering western oligarchs thought Russian military was weak.
Russia intervened in 2022 after 14,000 ethnic Russian of Eastern Ukraine have been murdered in eight years after the Minsk Agreement that the puppet Kiev regime REFUSED to implement had expired. This agreement was signed by Germany, France, Kiev, Dombaas (eastern Ukrainians) and Russia and was supervised by the United Nations. Angela Michael of Germany recently confessed that they deceived Russia with the agreement to by time to equip Ukraine to fight Russia.
Yet the west is continuously lying that NATO is not an aggressive entity even in the face of their mindless blood lettings across the globe, including Serbia, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen and Syria and other countries. Today they are preparing Taiwan as another proxy entity in their desperation to hold on to hegemonic egocentric power over global affairs. I mean that is what they tell the world is a defensive alliance?
Ukraine could never have hoped to win. Regardless of arms and weapons supply, they do not have the combat power and weight of numbers for offensive action. They are just western expendables deceived into a meat grinder with the intention to weaken Russia and fight “TO THE LAST (STUPID) UKRAINIAN” as was originally planned by the American military industrial complex in 1993, to use a willing Slavic tool and NATO machine in the conquest plan against Russia while preserving their own territories using mainstream media to brainwash their population as their neoconservative military industrial complex deep state leaders have instructed.
This was reinforced by Hilary Clinton under her hegemons Russia Encirclement Strategy that is now backfiring.
Russia has largely achieved it’s main objective for the military operation. But if Ukraine continues on this trajectory it will become a desolate place.
Sanctions against Russia has failed, Europe is in recession whilst Russian Economy grew by almost three percent. Russian Rubble is one of the best performing currencies in the world today and with sanctions placed on it they have now improved domestic production capacities in different sectors and now have trade surplus with other countries. The global south and east have refused to distance themselves from Russia with trade volumes between them and Russia rising to all time high. They are now using basket of currencies to trade while building a new financial architecture that will even enable other countries to bypass western financial systems like SWIFT and that is a recipe for dedollarization and multipolar order.
Germany is being deindustrialized because of energy crisis. Recently Germany said it can no longer supply Ukraine with long range weapons because obviously they now understand that it is useless. German leopard tanks are being destroyed in Ukraine by Russian military. Likewise American Bradley. British cruise missiles failed to become the taunted game changer, neither himers. When will some of people wake up from their delusion of grandeur?
The goal of Russia in Ukraine is being achieved absolutely. Two sets of Ukraine army has been wiped out in the first ten months of the war forcing them to pull back for some months before their now overpraised counter offensive that is now falling. The last Ukrainian army was trained in six different NATO countries and they are being eliminated as we speak notwithstanding western media propaganda.
In addition, Ukraine military industrial complex has been DESTROYED and that is why they are now begging everyone for weapons. That is Russia’s goal of demilitarization achieved.
The second is that most of the Neonazi Bandera soldiers of Ukraine who started the war have been eliminated. Today they are very few left. Goal number two achieved; denazification.
In the meantime, four regions of eastern Ukraine of ethnic speaking Russians are now part of Russia. That is twenty percent of Ukraine land lost. Ukraine can no longer run without foreign funding and it has lost fifty percent of it’s GDP.
Yet their infrastructures are being decimated and over ten million of their citizens has fled the country and that reduces their workforce drastically.
Yet after two months plus, their counteroffensive could not get to Russia’s first line of defense out of three lines. Their air defense systems are almost gone and their seaports are now being DESTROYED.
Is that what bumbling Biden calls victory for Ukraine?
Throwing more weapons in there is war mongering. What is now needed is a peaceful, diplomatic solution.
This war would never have happened if the west / NATO didn’t keep encroaching to the east. It’s a different story when USA has missiles facing it from Cuba.
Ukraine will never get parts of Ukraine back. Those parts are mostly ethnically Russian. The world is on verge of WW3 with a super power and this is because the west is afraid that the end has come for western dominance with eminent dedollarization movement and multipolar order taking shape.
No more lives need to be lost in Ukraine. And the world should not stand by and allow bumbling Joe Biden and his gross indebted regime lead it into a catastrophe out of ego. The world must not end with the bumbling old man who obviously does not care about the future of children and the world.
It was America that ripped up NATO/Russia 2001 Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty and Installed Nuclear Tipped Capable Tomahawks In Poland and Romania aimed At Russia. So they shouldn’t tell us the Invasion was Unprovoked.
It’s not a Ukraine war, it’s a US proxy war. It’s a war conducted by Ashkenazi Khazarians LIVING IN U.S. A. AGAINST THEIR ANCIENT IX CENTURY ENEMY: THE RÜS (both ukranian and russian ethnics).
Why? Because they want their land back: Ancient Khazaria. Exactly like the Sephardi wanted their ancient land back: Israel.
That’s the plan. Even North America will also be feudal in its construct after this; if they succeed. The elites will not be satisfied until the west is completely folded into a subservient neofeudal fascist surveillance state dictatorship, as it tries to deconstruct the rest of the globe at the same time.
Russia and China stand in their way.
As it stands now, they fraudlently ‘Own’ most of the World’s resources, they thought that it will would be easy to steal everything. Schwab has openly admitted that they have ‘Penetrated’ many Government Cabinets.
This type of nasty, narcissistic, psychopathic thinking clearly displays their absolute arrogance and Evil ruthlessness. The west is deceptive, hegemonic, egocentric, manipulative, demonic and destructive. They should allow the world to breath.
