Meanwhile, the Russian army is rapidly developing its success both on the northern and southern flanks in this direction and destroyed Ukrainian forces in Kurakhovo. According to preliminary reports from the battlefield, Russian forces took control of the villages of Konstantinopolskoe and Uspenovka that were turned into important Ukrainian strongholds along the Sukhie Yaly River. The mop up operations are ongoing on the streets and Russian forces are securing their control of the areas nearby to prevent the Ukrainian military from any chance to counterattack.

 

 

Ukrainian military observers complain that Russian forces managed to launch a breakthrough and enter the village of Zelenovka located only 2 kilometers south of the vitaly important road west of Kurakhovo.

Russian troops are also expanding their zone of control on the northern flank, where they are repelling the remaining Ukrainian forces from the areas between Solntsevka and Stary Terny and continue advance west of these villages.

According to various signals from Ukrainian frontlines, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for another attempt to launch a counteroffensive.

you just described the coalition of scum. if russia is weak and struggling, why can’t the ukrainian puppet forces stop them in donbas, or retake any territory?

Hope Springs Infernal

it’s because porkshanks wasn’t reinstated for a 2nd term. he promised to reconquer the donbass in 48 hrs. he didn’t say in which term though, so he lost his chance.

azerbaijan hopes tensions between russia and nato will not escalate into a direct war, which would be catastrophic for the world, azerbaijani president ilham aliyev told russian media on wednesday.

”pondering this scenario, nato and russia engaging in a hot war, is like imagining the apocalypse,” the leader of the post-soviet republic told journalist and media executive dmitry kiselyov.

it’s a meat grinding machine, chukky. rump ukrappers, like proverbial boiling frogs just can’t resist jumping in for their anglozionazi dog trainers. someday even you might figure it out, though i would indeed be surprised.

russians fight illogically for oligarch concerns instead of military concerns.
blow up the damn bridges and stop allowing russia and russian citizens from being attacked.

thats what they should be doing. mobilise 10 millon soldiers and properly take over ukraine. put zelensky and the rest of his nazi dictatorship and believers out of the country and make it part of russia again and no more nato discussions.ukraine must cease to exist as a country name.

the nato generals tasked with weapons procurement must be chosen by their level of corruption rather than merit.

the real beauty of the dying, sputtering rump ukrapper dumpster fire and its mountains of nazi trash burned crispy is the simultaneous ongoing destruction of the anglozionazi empire of shit and its natostan tranny army, not to mention the diabolic e.u.s.s.r. future generations will add this massive russian victory to the catalogue of destruction of invaders that include the evil, midget frog napoleon and the demented austrian jew bankster owned clown, onkel adolf. z to the end of the b€a$t!!
