<p>We predicted a few weeks ago that Zelenskyy would need to rid himself of the Ukrainian elements that would oppose a surrender (call it what you will) to Putin, or a truce that surrenders of territory. ; We, in fact, suggested that Zelenskyy would be sending his army into the meat grinder of Russian forces to rid himself of certain factions.

<p>As the mainstream media pundits began to project that we were correct and that Ukrainian forces were moving toward such a situation we noted that they were walking into a trap. (<strong><a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/ukrainian-military-forces-walking-into-a-trap/">Ukrainian Military Forces Walking into a Trap</a></strong>)</p>



<p>We now have indications that reinforced Russian elements will begin to encircle Ukrainian forces on the front lines of the Donbas region.</p>



<p>Source: “Preparations are underway to encircle Ukrainian troops positioned along a 200 km line of demarcation, from Donetsk- Slovyansk into central Ukraine. They number at 90,000 to 100,000 men. &#8220;These are the most combat-ready units that are currently in Ukraine &#8230;if they do not surrender, Ukraine will lose its entire army and the issue of demilitarization, one can say, would be resolved by 90%&#8221; &#8211; Basurin.”</p>



<p>We predicted and now know:</p>



<p>&#8211; The 40 mile convoy is indeed circling around to join the fight.</p>



<p>&#8211; The Russian forces vastly outnumber the Ukrainian forces in the primary battle field.</p>



<p>&#8211; The Russian reinforcements are the top of the line troops, with top of the line weapons.</p>



<p>&#8211; The note above indicates that Russian troops will move in behind the Ukrainian troops, cut off their logistics routes and surround them, as predicted. The Ukraine Army will quickly run out of ammunition and food.</p>



<p>&#8211; The Azov battalion has been surrounded in Mariupol with no escape routes and will soon have to surrender or be killed. ; A note (we cannot determine the veracity) on a combatant’s Facebook page,  ;“In a macabre, farewell tone, the Ukraine&#8217;s 36th OBRMP Separate Marine Brigade named after Rear Admiral Mykhailo Bilynsky said on its Facebook page that Russian Enemies had pulled and surrounded their Forces to the Azovstal Industrial Complex, announcing that the Brigade is preparing for a Last Stand”… &#8220;No one wants to communicate with us anymore because we are forsaken, We are slowly ending.&#8221;</p>



<p>We have noted before that the Russians do not really want to wipe out the entire Ukrainian Army. The want its surrender, they want it to tap out. ; ;(<strong><a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/putins-military-strategy-in-ukraine-judo-rules/">Putin’s Military Strategy in Ukraine? Judo Rules</a></strong>)</p>



<p>The mainstream media in the U.S. continues to push the hope that Ukraine will ultimately be the victor in this war, with the support of the good guys, the U.S. and NATO. The truth is that Ukraine has been outmanned, outgunned and outmaneuvered at every turn. And the Biden Administration&#8217;s incompetence has led to this war and to massive human tragedy.</p>



<p>Post Script: Russia is reporting that 1000 Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered en masse.</p>

The Ukrainian Army is in the Meat Grinder – Being Encircled
