📰 🇺🇦 "The situation is approaching a critical point": Budanov predicts new Russian offensive toward Sumy, - The New York Times

Highlights from an interview with the chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence:

▪️ In Kharkov region, the offensive of the Russian army will continue for about three to four days, after that their troops may start a new offensive, this time in Sumy region.
▪️ "All our troops are now either here or in Chasov Yar."
▪️ According to him, it is very difficult to find new AFU forces. "I have used everything we have. Unfortunately, we have no one left in reserve."
▪️ The goal of the Russian offensive near Kharkov is to deplete Ukrainian reserves and draw them away from other parts of the line, including Donetsk region.
▪️ According to Budanov, one of Russia's tasks is to spread panic in the region.
▪️ "Our task at the moment is to stabilize the line and then start pushing them across the border."

🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Secretary of State Blinken rushed to Kiеv. This is his first visit to Ukraine since September 2023. The war in the Middle East just started in October. And from that moment on, State Department apparatchiks began to constantly shuttle between Israel, Egypt and Qatar.

Therefore, over the past 8 months, Blinken has visited Israel seven times - and only now has he reached Ukraine. In 2023, Blinken arrived immediately after the failure of the counteroffensive. Now Ukraine is retreating both in the Donbass and in the Kharkov region. In connection with this, unrest in Kiеv is also intensifying.

From that moment on, Victoria Nuland, responsible for Ukraine at the State Department, resigned on time. Now Blinken himself has to deal with internal squabbles in Kiеv. Especially against the backdrop of the approaching May 21, after which Zelensky loses the remnants of his legitimacy.

Blinken will likely continue to lobby for the appointment of Oksana Markarova, still ambassador to the United States, as Ukrainian prime minister. Although this is actively resisted by Zelensky and Ermak, they are oriented towards the British lobby and do not want to share their powers with anyone.

Now the White House again has leverage with the allocation of trenches that they will use. But Blinken is already a downed pilot, spending his last months as Secretary of State. In six months, he failed all Middle Eastern affairs - as well as negotiations with China. So it is possible that his trip to Kiеv will lead to nothing. Blinken will also be associated with all of Ukraine’s failures at the front.
