The last few days have seen a significant shift in the balance of power in Ukraine. This must be understood in its entirety.
Kiev’s counter-attacks were generally unsuccessful in the Kherson region, but, alas, effective in the Kharkiv region. It is the situation in Kharkiv and the forced retreat of the allied forces that is the turning point. Putting aside the psychological effects and the legitimate feelings of the patriots, it must be recorded that in the entire history of the SMO we have reached the point of no return.
Everyone is now recommending extraordinary measures to reverse the situation, and some of these suggestions are quite rational. We make no claim to originality, but simply try to summarise the most important points and recommendations and place them in the global geopolitical context.
Third World War
We are on the brink of World War III, which the West is compulsively pushing for. And this is no longer a fear or expectation, it is a fact. Russia is at war with the collective West, with NATO and its allies (though not with all of them: Turkey and Greece have their own position and some European countries, primarily but not only France and Italy, do not want to actively participate in a war with Russia). Yet, the threat of a third world war is getting closer and closer.
