Col Doug Macgregor: Russia Warns Ukraine: Time to Surrender

Description:

Col Doug Macgregor analyzes Ukraine's recent setbacks, noting how the failure to withdraw from exposed positions allowed Russian forces to encircle Ukrainian troops, creating shrinking pockets such as the Mirror pocket and Prosk area. He explains Russia’s strategy of closing escape routes and intensifying its aerial campaign—citing the use of thousands of guided bombs, advanced glide bombs, and jet‑powered drones that challenge Ukrainian air defenses. Macgregor argues that Western support has not halted the fighting, and that prolonging the conflict benefits Russian advances. He projects that, with current gains, Russian forces could push westward toward the Dnipro River, potentially bringing cities like Kharkiv and Odessa under Russian control, while speculating on possible leadership changes in Ukraine and Russian plans to repopulate reclaimed areas.
