After the "Great Victory of Kherson", Ukraine closed the mouths of Western media, and Ukrainian soldiers cried out about the tragic war

The Russian army once again retreated from Kherson and defended across the river from the Ukrainian army. In order to celebrate such a "big victory", Ukrainian President Zelensky went to the city of Kherson and gave a grand speech.

Zelensky pointed out that Russia’s withdrawal from Kherson was “the beginning of the end of the war.” To this end, various celebrations were publicized until many Western media discovered problems when broadcasting it.

The unfreedom behind "freedom of speech"

The work permits of at least 6 journalists from Western media including CNN, Sky News and other Western media have been revoked to report in Kherson , filming in Kherson is prohibited.

Although Ukraine has been engaged in a public opinion war since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, does it want to restrict its own people?

There is speculation that it was caused by a few-second video of "Ukrainians holding the national flag high and performing Nazi salutes after the Russian troops withdrew from Kherson", which quickly went viral on Western social media.

The "neo-Nazi" forces in Ukraine, deliberately downplayed by the West, have once again been exposed to the world. In addition to the Azov Camp, while Ukraine tore down a large number of Soviet anti-Nazi statues, it also erected a large number of monuments to Ukrainian nationalists who were inextricably linked to the Nazis of the past, including "responsible for the massacre of thousands of Jews and Poles" The Ukrainian "freedom fighter" Roman Shukhovich, Yaroslav Stetko who wrote "I insist that the Jews should be exterminated in Ukraine", a total of 100,000 Jews were killed in the Bayar region of Ukraine

The appearance of such a "celebration" in Kherson is not a happy sight for Ukraine's Western supporters. Ordinary people who "demand peace" cannot accept such anti-peace propaganda and support Ukraine's Western politicians are more or less embarrassed.

There is also speculation that Ukraine will begin to retaliate against pro-Russians in Kherson Oblast. Previously, two men suspected of "cooperating" with Russia were tied to pillars and publicly punished in the city of Kherson. , photographed by the US media.

Ukraine also needs continued military assistance from the West and a "victim" identity, but such revelations by the Western media are obviously not in Ukraine's interests.

Ukrainian soldiers cried

Although Zelensky was celebrating his victory, he had to admit that the confrontation in Kherson Oblast had paid a heavy price.

A young Ukrainian soldier cried during an interview that a tank formation that once consisted of three people and more than 30 tanks was reduced to only seven tanks. He felt pitiful and ridiculous. They Drive an old, outdated and difficult-to-control tank into battle and achieve a tragic victory.

He complained about the sacrifice of such a victory, but he only received scoldings mixed with insults from his superiors, "You are a soldier, shut up" and "You are nothing, just a bunch of nameless soldiers." The young soldier was sad that he had lost his brother, but his family was still looking forward to their safe return.

The elite of the Ukrainian army were deployed to the rear for NATO weapons training. Like this soldier, they are just ordinary conscripts. Although the situation was difficult, they could not escape because all deserters would have their hands tied behind their backs and be shot directly on the battlefield by the supervising team. Their value is to delay and buy time for the elite NATO-trained legions.

It is no wonder that after the missile explosion in Poland, Ukraine pointed directly at Russia and called on the West to take serious action. After all, Ukraine does not have many people available to fight the war.
