“The collapse of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) has created a situation where Ukraine has lost some of its best brigades, some of its best men,” the former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and military analyst said.
These battle-hardened, NATO-trained units, which include the 25th Airborne Brigade and 38th Marine Brigade, are “irreplaceable,” according to Ritter.
“This will result in a significant gap in the Ukrainian lines, which will have to be filled by troops that will be taken from other locations, further thinning and decreasing Ukraine’s capabilities there,” he noted.
Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) was also “the anchor of Ukraine’s fortified belt in Donetsk, in the Donbass. And now that that anchor has fallen…there’s really no significant fortified defensive positions between where the Russian Army will find itself and the Dnepr River,” the observer stressed.
The strategic location’s loss and the decimation of Ukraine’s elite units will put Kiev under strain across a broad area stretching from Zaporozhye and Kherson to Kharkov, Ritter believes.
“This will have a snowballing effect in terms of how the Ukrainian Army is able to stand up and fight against the Russians. I think it is the beginning of a collapse. And this time NATO doesn’t have a solution,” he summed up.

Gilbert Doctorow has accused me of "calumny" (the making of false and defamatory statements about someone in order to damage their reputation). I'll let you, the reader, decide if this is so.

"Highway to Hell" is the third book in a trilogy devoted to the danger of nuclear war and the absolute necessity of arms control.
The first book in this trilogy is "Scorpion King", a history of America’s addiction to nuclear weapons. It traces the development of America’s relationship with the atomic bomb from Hiroshima to the present.
The second book is "Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika", a personal history of the author’s experience as a weapons inspector implementing the INF treaty. This book brings to life the danger of nuclear weapons, and the possibility of eliminating this danger through effective arms control.
"Highway to Hell" completes this trilogy, tracking the modern development of nuclear weapons s and the disintegration of strategic relationships that make nuclear war increasingly possible.
"Highway to Hell" reinforces the author’s argument about the absolute importance of arms control today.
I look forward to meeting you and telling you more about the book.

In this special edition of The Russia House with Scott Ritter, I am joined by my co-host Garland Nixon in downtown Moscow, where we had the pleasure of interviewing noted Russian writer Fyodor Razzakov, where we discussed the role of cinema in the collapse of the Soviet Union and dragging Russian society down during the decade of the ‘90’s. It turns out how a society sees itself through the lens of a camera influences reality.

HE FRAGILE BAN ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTING
For nearly three decades, the five declared nuclear powers — the US, Russia, China, France and the UK — have complied with a nuclear test ban treaty that has not yet entered into force but whose moral authority looms large over the issue of nuclear nonproliferation. In the span of a few weeks, imprecise communication combined with a lack of trust propelled the US and Russia down a path where both nations were threatening to resume nuclear weapons testing on the mistaken belief that the other side intended to carry out such tests. In an age of increasing nuclear threats combined with a collapsing arms control infrastructure, any effort to resume nuclear weapons testing by either the US or Russia could propel the world into a new nuclear arms race, which, given the near inevitability of the expiry of restrictions currently imposed by the New Start, dramatically increases the chance for a nuclear conflict all parties agree can’t be won.

Europe’s only chance at survival is to decouple itself from the sinking ship that is Ukraine. But the political and economic elites of Europe created the Ukraine crisis for the purpose of expanding their power. The two are inextricably linked. And so Europe will go down with the ship. I don’t shed any tears for Macron, Starmer, Merz and the others. But the European people deserved better. Instead they are locked below decks, unable to make it to the life rafts.

We discussed her reasons for moving to Russia, what she thinks of the Russian people and culture, and why Russia may be the ideal destination for people looking for a society that appreciates family values and quality of life over pure commercialism.
