Dnipro, 19 Nov, evening
Did a trip to the Western border over past two days, got back last night just after midnight. First time ever, I saw no military convoys heading east. Not a single one.
People in Lvov were noticeably worried, and were eagerly asking me what was happening in the east and especially on frontlines. It was a pleasure to tell them those front lines are moving closer to them everyday. Snowed heavily when crossing the Carpathians, and today in Dnipro snowed too, was above zero so melted as it hit the ground, but it's cold.
Power across the country is on for less than half the day. I have attached today's grid shut-downs for those interested, dtek provides power in left bank of Dnipro, which is divided into zones.
Everyone is watching what's happening with the cokehead and his junta, and nabu/saps like watching a train wreck. Everyone is hoping it means the end is nigh, me too. I can't see a road back from here for zelenksy and his criminal junta. Even if he rallies support in Europe, all the leaders of whom are wedded to zelenksy, the army here has given up. Telegram and viber are full of messages from soldiers very angry at zelenksy and his junta, many claiming they are finished, and going home. Even if zelenksy rallies European support, he won't be able to do the same in an already mentally defeated army who now have a great excuse to not fight anymore. I have had three friends fighting, one in Kharkiv front, and two in Zaporoshnye front, message me to ask me what's going on, and is the stories true.
I am even a little bit hopeful, but only because colonel Cocopops has not been heard from for weeks, and no one is talking about him now. That must be a good sign, surely..... Let's hope.
