yeah baby the end is near for the zionist backed banderites in bakhmut. praise the lord. viva prigozhin. viva putin. viva bashar hafez al- assad.
bandera hated jews, prigozhin has jewish roots and alawism has elements from jewish gnosticism. strange?
the russian army withdraws, led by an incompetent, namely the defense minister. instead, wagner advances to bakhmut.
prigozhin directly appealed to shoigu and gerasimov to hold sakko i vantsetti for few more days blaming gerasimov for the retreats of russian forces from bakhmut‘s flanks. rf forces lack the organization, fire support, coordination, and training necessary to defend the bakhmut’s flanks.
ukrainian forces have seized the tactical initiative and made tactically significant gains around bakhmut in counter-attack operations on may 18. these operations are a continuation of the localized counter-attacks ukrainian forces have been conducting for some days and do not reflect the start of a major new operation. multiple russian milbloggers claimed that ukrainian forces drove through the russian defensive lines south and southwest of ivanivske and northwest of klishchiivka..
the milbloggers also claimed that russian forces retreated from positions north of sakko i vantsetti (15km north of bakhmut) to positions south of the settlement, but that ukrainian forces have not yet entered the settlement
wagner group financier yevgeny prigozhin admitted on may 18 that wagner mercenaries are unable to encircle the ukrainian forces in bakhmut due to the loss of stable flanks north and south of bakhmut. prigozhin accused the russian ministry of defense (mod) of losing advantageous positions after mod-subordinated units retreated from their positions on bakhmut’s flanks necessary for an encirclement
the limited nature of wagner’s offensive operations in bakhmut compared to the localized ukrainian counterattacks underscores the loss of russian initiative in the area
ukrainian army has clearly now upper hand and can make much easier breaktroughs than russian army. truly – russian army and wagner are not impressive at all.
russians and pro rooskie bitches – how does it feels when whole “special military operation” has pissed in its own pants?
the kremlin continues to strengthen domestic repression measures likely to encourage self-censorship and prepare russian society for a prolonged war. the russian supreme court ruled on may 18 that russian military personnel who voluntarily surrender on the battlefield will be prosecuted under treason charges.
