March 25, 20223 yr Russia Admits Defeat. The Sanctions Worked. Russia signals scaled-back war aims, Ukrainians advance near Kyiv https://www.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-urges-halt-russias-assault-013425464.html Moscow signalled on Friday it was scaling back its ambitions in Ukraine to focus on territory claimed by Russian-backed separatists as Ukrainian forces went on the offensive to recapture towns on the outskirts of the capital Kyiv. In the first big sign that Western sanctions on Moscow were impacting investment from China, sources said state-run Sinopec Group, Asia's biggest oil refiner, halted talks on a petrochemical investment and a venture to market Russian gas. In the month since they launched their invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops have failed to capture any major city. Their assault has met stiff resistance from President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's forces and been halted at the gates of Kyiv. The Russians instead have been bombarding and encircling cities, laying waste to residential areas and driving around a quarter of Ukraine's 44 million people from their homes. More than 3.7 million of them have fled abroad, half to Poland, which U.S. President Joe Biden was visiting on Friday. Battlelines near Kyiv have been frozen for weeks with two main Russian armoured columns stuck northwest and east of the capital. A British intelligence report described a Ukrainian counter-offensive that had pushed Russians back in the east. "Ukrainian counter-attacks, and Russian forces falling back on overextended supply lines, have allowed Ukraine to reoccupy towns and defensive positions up to 35 km east of Kyiv," the report said. Britain has given Ukraine arms and military training. In an announcement that appeared to indicate more limited goals, the Russian Defence Ministry said a first phase of its operation was mostly complete and it would now focus on "liberating" the breakaway eastern Donbass region. "The combat potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been considerably reduced, which ... makes it possible to focus our core efforts on achieving the main goal, the liberation of Donbass," said Sergei Rudskoi, head of the Russian General Staff's Main Operational Directorate. 'UNPREPARED TROOPS' A senior diplomatic source in Moscow described the announcement as a possible prelude to a climbdown. "Their war aims are/were much wider than Donbass, leaving their force divided with poorly coordinated attacks on multiple fronts by unprepared troops," the source said. The United Nations said it had confirmed 1,081 civilian deaths and 1,707 injuries in Ukraine since the invasion, adding that the real toll was likely higher. Russia's defence ministry said 1,351 Russian soldiers had been killed 3,825 wounded, the Interfax news agency reported. Ukraine says 15,000 Russian soldiers have died. Volodymyr Borysenko, mayor of Boryspol, an eastern suburb where Kyiv's main airport is located, said 20,000 civilians had evacuated the area, answering a call to clear out so Ukrainian troops could counter-attack. Ukrainian forces recaptured a nearby village the previous day and would have pushed on but halted to avoid putting civilians in danger, he said. On the other main front outside Kyiv, to the capital's northwest, Ukrainian forces have been trying to encircle Russian troops in the suburbs of Irpin, Bucha and Hostomel, reduced to ruins by heavy fighting. In Bucha, 25 km (15 miles) northwest of Kyiv, a small group of Ukrainian troops armed with anti-tank missiles was digging foxholes. Andriy told Reuters he had enlisted as soon as the invasion began. "I told my wife to grab the children and to hide in the basement, and I went to the drafting station and joined my unit straight away," he said. Moscow calls its actions in Ukraine a "special military operation" to demilitarise and "denazify" Ukraine. Ukraine and the West say Putin launched an unprovoked war of aggression. Unable to capture cities, Russia has pounded them with artillery and air strikes. Worst hit has been the eastern port of Mariupol, a city of 400,000. It is the biggest Ukrainian-held city in the territory Russia demands be ceded to the separatists. Tens of thousands of people are still believed trapped with little access to food, power or heat, while the city around them has been reduced to ruins. MASS GRAVE REPORTS Mariupol's city council for the first time gave an estimated death toll for the bombing of the main theatre on March 16, saying witnesses now said 300 people had been killed among many hundreds sheltering in the basement. Russia denies blame. The United Nations said it was looking into reports of mass graves inside Mariupol, including one with at least 200 corpses. The cities of Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy in the east have also endured devastating bombardment. Chernihiv was effectively surrounded by Russian forces, its governor said. In Kharkiv, officials said six people had been killed by the shelling of an aid distribution site. Video showed a blast striking a car park where scores of people were queuing. Reuters was able to confirm it was filmed outside a supermarket in Kharkiv. Western sanctions have isolated Russia from global trade to a degree never before visited on such a large economy. Russia warned that billing in roubles for natural gas exports to heavily dependent Europe could be just days away, leaving buyers wondering how they could get their hands on the currency. China is the biggest power not to have condemned the Russian invasion and has repeatedly voiced opposition to the sanctions. The Reuters report that Sinopec had suspended discussions about investments potentially worth $500 million was the first concrete sign that sanctions are interfering with trade between Moscow and Beijing. Beijing has insisted it will maintain trade links. But behind the scenes, it is pressing Chinese companies to tread carefully. "Companies will rigidly follow Beijing's foreign policy in this crisis," said an executive at a Chinese state oil company. "There's no room whatsoever for companies to take any initiatives in terms of new investment."

March 25, 20223 yr Putin will soon have 'no choice' but to stop his invasion of Ukraine, former US general says https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-soon-no-choice-stop-150314332.html Russian President Vladimir Putin will likely be forced to bring his failing war against Ukraine to a halt, a former US general told Insider. "The reason is not because he wants to halt his military operation, but because he has no choice," retired US Army Brig. Gen. Kevin Ryan said. Putin, said Ryan, "has basically reached the capacity of what his military can do for him in Ukraine." Russian President Vladimir Putin will likely be forced to bring his failing more-than-month-long war against Ukraine to a halt, a former US general and Russia specialist told Insider — a scenario that could happen within weeks after Russian forces have sustained heavy losses and subjected Ukraine's cities to indiscriminate attacks. Retired US Army Brig. Gen. Kevin Ryan said he believes this to be the "most likely scenario" to play out as Putin has already "failed to accomplish" his "main military goals" in Ukraine — a lightning strike to seize Kyiv and other big cities and remove its elected leaders — and Russia's economy continues to be decimated by sweeping Western sanctions over its war with the eastern European country. "Putin will have to halt his war in Ukraine sooner or later and probably in a matter of weeks," Ryan, who served as Defense Attaché to Russia for the US among numerous other roles, told Insider on Thursday. "The reason is not because he wants to halt his military operation, but because he has no choice," Ryan, 67, said. "He has basically reached the capacity of what his military can do for him in Ukraine."
