1/25 With the blessings of my family deity Bhagavathy (Bhadra Kali) and Sri Lalita Triupurasundari, here’s a quick astrological update on the near-term future (from now to August 30) for Russia and Ukraine.

2/25 This is a follow-up thread to my earlier post about Russia and Ukraine in February this year.

3/25 At the outset, it is crystal clear that Russia will have a successful offensive and decisively defeat Ukraine during this period. As predicted in February 2022, the only option for Ukraine is to negotiate directly with Russia.

4/25 Russia appears to be preparing for the perfect offensive. This will be mechanical & precise in execution (after some initial issues). As predicted in March 2023, the offensive will be launched between late June and August 2023. This will be the decisive phase of the SMO.

5/25 The Russian offensive will come when the mud is perfectly and unmistakably dry. The attack is likely to begin with a savage air assault using land-based, aerospace and naval forces. The ferocity of the attack will likely result in US readiness being elevated to DEFCON3.

6/25 This will be a battle of air superiority where land forces play a supporting role. The Russian armed forces will now likely use the 'O' or 'F' motif to mark their units for the upcoming Summer offensive.

7/25 Russia must plan for a long and tiring offensive that stretches into early 2024. Military victory does not come easily for anyone. Patience and perseverance are key. Troop losses are also a natural consequence of the war. They must prepare for this.

8/25 As expected, artillery shells will continue to play a decisive role in this war. Russia will painstakingly and tirelessly produce the shells required for the offensive. This will make all the difference. Now, thermobaric weapons will also be used extensively.
