It appears to me that Russia is destined to play a major role in prophecy prior to Armageddon. Russia is a Nation which is mentioned in Ezekiel and in other books of scripture. This implies, to me, that Russia will not lose its war with Ukraine at this time. Zelensky is in Odesa (today) so as to expound his plans on this coming counter-offensive. He says he is ready to launch this offensive SOON and to win back all this territory which Russia has claimed (annexed).
Zelensky has the backing of NATO, Europe, and the USA. He has weapons to counter any Russian military operations (so it seems). Russia has not used all its military power (to date, however) to counter the military of Ukraine. My sense is that Zelensky will push Putin to act further so as to expand his military power for this coming offensive. This war must be won by Ukraine and it also must be won by Russia (both can not win, however). The loser will likely be politically impotent!
So what does prophecy say with respect to this military issue? Is Russia, ROSH, a major player as prophesied in scripture? Is Putin the Prince of ROSH? My sense is that this is likely. Putin and Russia will play their predestined role in our End Times situation. It does not appear, to me, that Ukraine has a winning role to play in prophecy. Russia, however, will play their role IMO and this means Russia will not be removed from their role until all is accomplished (spiritually) per God's plan of the ages.
The coming counter-offensive by the Ukraine military could be brutal, however. We could witness thousands of dead soldiers on both sides of this battle. Ultimately, however, Ukraine can not win because Russia has military options which they have yet to employ. My sense is that Putin (Russia) will gradually escalate the conflict with additional military power as this game of chicken continues. Russia is a Nation of some 130 million. Ukraine is a Nation of only some 30 million.
Will Russia play the tactical nuke option? This is possible but unlikely. My sense is that Putin will add more man power (conventional resources) to his arsenal and use this additional man power to win his battle with Zelensky. I do not view Russia as surviving politically if they LOSE this war with Ukraine. The same goes for Ukraine, however. If they lose to Putin then Zelensky is done and Ukraine as a territory would change significantly. The coming battle could be determinative for both sides (politically).
Russia has to defend its 'security' interests as a Nation IMO. Ukraine (under Zelensky) desires the same. Will NATO come to the aid of Zelensky after this counter-offensive is complete? Will the USA and/or Europe come to the aid of Zelensky if this counter-offensive is unsuccessful? My sense is that this counter-offensive is the LAST option for Zelensky and the Ukraine military. Either he WIN'S or he is political history. Same goes for Putin.
Russia must win or they would be political history (done) and Ukraine must win so as to create their continuing political history. The coming COUNTER-OFFENSIVE is key to the survival of both of these Nations. The loser could be done (politically) and my sense is that Russia has the prophecy CARD yet to play. This means Russia is unlikely (can not) lose this coming battle of WILLS. If prophecy is valid!
Ultimately, God calls the shots on all major battles on this planet. Scripture seems to suggest that we are now in the END TIMES (historically). Russia is a major player in these end-times (so it seems to me). Putin could be the PRINCE of ROSH. If this is valid, then Russia will continue to survive politically until the final battle starts (called Armageddon). The END of all Nations happens at ARMAGEDDON. That is my viewpoint and since I am NOT GOD, I could be wrong. But my viewpoint stands as that is all I have! Think for yourself (what is your viewpoint)?
