16 June 2023 Choosing a time when one can call a military campaign with some credible clarity is always fraught with danger. However going merely by headlines of last 10 days in major Western news websites and broad sheets, one can tell that the Ukrainian counter offensive has not managed on ground the kind of […]
9 June 2023 Since the first week of June involves the Normandy beach landing commemorations, the narrative symphony of western media was full throttle on how the Ukrainians were now going to launch their much awaited Spring Offensive, and how as some commentators averred the Ukrainian efforts could lead to end of President Putin himself […]
