THE CARVE UP OF UKRAINE! According to various reports and intelligence assessments, Russia has outlined plans to divide Ukraine into 3 distinct parts, each with different implications for control and influence in the short term : This is now being voiced in Russian media and throughout the Non Russian regions within Europe itself. Projected > New Regions of Russia: This part includes territories that Russia has annexed as its own, such as Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson regions, and Crimea with Sevastopol These areas in their full official boundaries will be formally integrated into Russia, with Moscow exerting direct control over them. SHORT TERM Pro-Russian State Formation: A significant portion of central and southern Ukraine, including Kiev, would be turned into a pro-Russian state. Fully integrated into the Russian Federation at a later date, subject to legal requirements and military oversight. This region would include areas like Kyiv, Chernihov, Sumy, Kharkov, Poltava, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, and Zhytomyr Disputed Territories: The western regions of Ukraine, including Volyn, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, Lyov, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, and Zakarpattia, are areas where Russia suggests their fate could be negotiated with neighboring countries like Hungary, Poland, and Romania. A masterclass on diplomacy with Russia's new neighbours projected. Here, the idea is to establish the possibility of a small Ukranian puppet state that would be politically aligned with Russia, potentially under pro-Russian leadership with a military presence from Russia. The location of this rump state would be the west of Kiev and bordering the lands assigned to Poland. These plans have been part of Russian strategy documents and intelligence briefings, suggesting a long-term vision for Ukraine's political and territorial landscape prior to February 2022. However, the full execution of such a plan for a Rump state would depend on numerous geopolitical factors, including the reactions of current Ukranians , its bordering state , and the international community. It is not likely that the principal 4 bordering nations will fundamentally disagree as they are being provided their historic lands back! Therefore, it's expected that the rest of the EU will fall in behind. This information from Russian sources is corroborated by current demographics, which show less than 15 million Ukrainians are still inside Ukraine, which is now due to Emmigration, in the minority of all of pre 2022 Ukraine. The balance of the population of other ethnic groups in the regions to be handed over is in support of such border movements. It's important to note that these plans reflect intentions and strategies of Russia and will not be affected by outside influences within NATO or EU. Ukraine no longer has any input into its demise. The only likely resistance will be politically within NATO and the EU , but the need to bring Russian energy back into Europe will far outweigh the disgruntled warmongers of the EU / NATO. International diplomacy and the U.S. president is of no immediate worry to Russia. Additionally, it seems that this strategy to appease Russia's immediate new neighbours, has been planned which originated for some time and are part of a broader strategy that could only have been fully realized due to Russias new military, political, and economic recent achievements !! ADIOS Ukraine , hello to a new Atlas !
