The tenth day of the conflict was marked by several milestone events.
First of all, the Russian side attempted to provide humanitarian corridors for local residents from Mariupol and Volnovakha. On March 4, the Russian side made this offer to its opponent. The organization of a humanitarian corridor was agreed for March 5 from 10 a.m. to 6 a.m. local time. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was informed of the evacuation arrangements.
The start of evacuation was planned at 11 a.m. along the route Mariupol – Nikolskoye – Rozovka – Polohy – Orekhov – Zaporizhzhya. The evacuation should take place from the three locations: Sport Complex “Ilyichevets” (Nakhimov Avenue, 53); Drama Theater (Theater square, 1); Kalmius district administration (193 Metallurgov avenue) by the city buses or by private vehicles strictly on the route.
By midday it had become apparent that the organization of the humanitarian corridor had been disrupted. Around 4 p.m. local time, the ICRC published report that a safe humanitarian passage from Mariupol and Volnovakha on March 5 would no longer be established.
“We understand that the safe passage operations from Mariupol and Volnovakha will not start today. We remain in dialogue with the parties about the safe passage of civilians from different cities affected by the conflict. The scenes in Mariupol and in other cities today are heart-breaking. Any initiative from the parties that gives civilians a respite from the violence and allows them to voluntarily leave for safer areas is welcome”, the report said.
On the following video the woman asked:
– That is, there will be no evacuation.
– Yes, we came to stop you so that you would not be killed by the fire. – Ukrainian soldier said.
Soldiers of nationalist battalions completely blocked the exit from the cities for thousands of local residents. The formal reason was the alleged insecurity of the corridor. Kiev accused the command of the Russian Defense Ministry and the DPR of not stopping the shelling of Mariupol and adjacent settlements. At the same time, no facts were provided that the agreed passage was shelled The AFU command in Kyiv reported that “no one showed up for the evacuation”. This is refuted by local residents as well as by photo and video materials from the evacuation points.
As a result of the actions of the Ukrainian military, not a single civilian could leave through the declared security corridors. Apparently, the population of these towns is being held by nationalist formations as a “human shield.
On March 5, only three families, a total of 17 people, including children, were able to get out of Mariupol on their own. These people had not heard of any humanitarian corridor. They reported that the Kyiv authorities did not notify anyone in their area of residence. Their families were leaving under the shelling of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. People who escaped from Mariupol reported that the nationalists had mined roads and blew up bridges that would allow people to leave the city.
Also on March 5, shocking information was received from Mariupol. Members of the so-called “territorial defense” units, who had previously arrived in Mariupol from western regions of Ukraine, had mined and blown up an multi-storey civilian building. There were 200 people, mostly women and children, in the basement, under the ruins.
Amid these developments, a third round of talks between Russia and Ukraine could take place on Saturday or Sunday, said Podolyak, an advisor to Zelensky’s office. The likelihood that another round of talks will lead to any result is close to zero. Kiev is essentially using the negotiation process solely as an element of an information campaign.
This is yielding dividends. The announcement of negotiations, as well as the likelihood that Moscow will succumb to Western pressure, stop the hostilities and withdraw the troops from their positions, have a negative effect on Russian supporters currently located in territories occupied by the Russian Armed Forces. People are afraid to speak openly in support of the Russian Federation. They remember 2014, when after Moscow refused to establish power in the DPR and LPR throughout the entire area of former Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, supporters of independence were subjected to brutal repression by the Kiev regime. Many hundreds of residents have been killed or are still missing.
Moscow has still not clearly declared its intentions toward the occupied territories. The Russians have not provided a precise political blueprint for the future of Ukraine. This reinforces the population’s negative perception of the events. The statement that the goals of the military campaign are denazification and the destruction of Ukraine’s military infrastructure only adds fuel to the fire. People are tired of uncertainty and fear that the Russians, having destroyed the military infrastructure, will simply leave, to be replaced again by angry nationalists.
It seems that there is some kind of struggle within the Kremlin elite, which does not allow to choose a clear political course regarding Ukraine.
On March 5, no side made any significant progress on the fronts. At the same time, units of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the DPR and the LPR continued their offensive in certain areas.
The grouping of forces of the Lugansk People’s Republic continued their offensive and seized Golikovo, Nevskoye and Katerinovka. The LPR troops continued to encircle the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk agglomeration from the north, advancing towards Kramatorsk. Units of the Ukrainian armed forces are resisting fiercely. Russian troops continue advancing from the north (Kharkiv grouping) to the west and south-west in order to close the AFU grouping in the region. There are battles near Izyum. Shelling of Kramatorsk was reported. The Izyum-Slaviansk road remains uncut.
Units of the armed forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic took control of the settlements Zachatovo, Khlebodarovka, Novotatarovka southwest of Volnovakha, Mirne from southeast of Volnovakha. Advance was 7 kilometers.
A large accumulation of burnt-out AFU military vehicles was detected in the Donskoye settlement near Volnovakha. Fighting continues in Volnovakha.
On March 5, the commander of a separate DPR reconnaissance battalion “Sparta” with the call sign “Vokha” was killed in Volnovakha. Earlier, he had replaced the deceased battalion founder, with the call sign “Motorola”.
After the resumption of active operations near Mariupol, the DPR units occupied the village of Sopine on the eastern outskirts of the city.
The bases of the nationalist battalion “Azov” in the village of Sopino, to the east of Mariupol. Previously, the tourist complex “Azovaya” was located there.
Units of the Russian Armed Forces, advancing with a broad front, took control of a number of settlements in Zaporizhia region: Marfopol, Zatishye, Malinovka, Removka, Orlinoe, Volodino to the south and east of the important transport hub Huliaipole; Malaya Tokmachka, Novokarlovka in the direction from Polohy to Orekhov. The Russian grouping in the region continues to successfully encircle AFU units and formations concentrated near the area of Volnovakha and to the west of Donetsk from the west.
A huge crowd of people wishing to get weapons in Zaporizhya:
Heavy fighting is going on near Kharkiv. The city is partially blockaded, but not surrounded. It is still possible to leave Kharkov by train and on roads to the west. Civilian exit from Kharkiv is blocked in the direction of the Russian border. There are reports of fighting inside the city and large columns of Russian military equipment moving toward the city. There is an active work of the Russian assault aviation.
The UAF blew up the bridge on the dam across the Seversky Donets River.
On March 5, the situation near Kiev was difficult for the advancing Russian troops, with heavy fighting to the west of capital. Fighting continued near Bucha and Irpen. The AFU units attempted to counterattack the Russians. There are reports of casualties on both sides, and photos and video footage of destroyed Russian equipment in this direction. In general, the configuration of the front in this area remained unchanged.
Ukrainian soldiers direct artillery fire from a civilian house:
The Brovary area adjacent to Kyiv has not still been stormed. Russian units are in close proximity to residential areas.
Chernihiv and Sumy are blockaded. An assault is unlikely in the coming day or two. A Russian Air Force Su-34 frontline fighter-bomber jet was shot down over Chernihiv by man-portable air defense systems. One pilot was killed and the other captured.
In the Mykolaiv area, fighting continues north and south of the city. The city is half surrounded. By the evening of March 5, reports emerged that the Russian Armed Forces had forced the Southern Bug, expanded its positions on the opposite bank of the river, taking the village of Yastrebinoe, and pulled up reserves, preparing for the next phase of the offensive operation. This information has not been confirmed by official sources at the moment.
The AFU succeeded in shooting down one combat helicopter of the Russian Air Force near Mykolaiv. It is reported that a Stinger man-portable air defense system was successfully used.
UPDATE — 8:00, 6.03.2022 — The Russian Armed Forces have been pushed back by AFU units from the settlements of Bashtanka, Piskik and Marianivka in the outskirts of Mykolaiv. Losses of military equipment have been reported. At the moment, the nearest Russian forces’ stronghold to the north of Mykolaiv is in the village of Kashperovo-Mikolayivka. Earlier on March 5, north of Mykolaiv, the AFU and territorial defense units entrenched themselves in the village of Peresadovka, where during the afternoon of March 5 they accumulated military vehicles for the upcoming attack.
In the vicinity of Odessa, the Russian Armed Forces carried out strikes on the facilities of the AFU on the coast. There was no airborne landing, nor were any strikes on military infrastructure inside the city.
For its part, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that on March 5 alone it destroyed: 5 radar stations, two Buk M-1 air defense missile systems, in an air battle near Zhitomir it shot down four Su-27 AFU aircraft and air defense forces near Nizhyn shot down one Su-25. The air defense forces also destroyed a Ukrainian Air Force Mi-8 helicopter and an unmanned aerial vehicle Bayraktar TB-2.
A total of 2,119 Ukrainian military infrastructure objects were hit during the operation. Among them:
74 Ukrainian Armed Forces command posts and communication nodes; 108 S-300, Buk M-1 and Osa air defense missile systems; and 68 radar stations.As well as: 69 aircraft on the ground and 21 aircraft in the air, 748 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 76 multiple rocket launchers, 274 pieces of field artillery and mortars, 532 pieces of special military vehicles, and 59 unmanned aerial vehicles.
On March 5, an attempt was made by a sabotage and reconnaissance group of the Ukrainian armed forces to shell residential areas of the Russian border town of Belgorod. Several shells were launched in the direction of the suburbs of Belgorod. The shells did not reach their targets. There were no casualties or damage.
As of March 5-6, it can be noted that the overall initiative is still on the side of the Russian armed forces. At the same time, the Russian offensive has slowed or stopped in many directions. Operational successes have still not turned into strategic successes, which means the defeat of the main AFU groupings in the east of the country.
The Russian Armed Forces are preparing to bring in a second echelon of troops to solve the strategic tasks at the next stage of the operation.
The National Guard units are being formed and deployed to the occupied territories to protect the rear and communications.
The current actions of the Russian Armed Forces confirm the previously reported information that Moscow had initially planned a military operation in Ukraine for 30 days. So far, there are no signals that this plan will not be implemented.
The last 3 days I dont see any major advancment of Russian troops , also more and more russian equipment is being captured/destroyed , troops being tortured or executed by the Ukrainian side , more weapon/foreign volunteers are join UAF and it seems that Russia lost the momentum and cant advance . Is the Russian army not capable to end this war successfully in the upcoming days?
meh
HI
I can speculate that they havent shut down the telecomunications because they want the civilians to communicate with eachother about how shit and corrupt the Kievans are as well as their political and military enablers in the western media.
Maybe the Russians just arent able to disrupt coms tho IDK.
In any case if Moscow is hoping for the civilians to turn around their arms and fight the Kievans along side them they can unfortunatly keep dreaming.
It seems like Kiev is winning the propaganda war and they have infinite pre planned CIA narrative tricks and false flags up their sleeves to keep people self immolating themselves.
I say they haven’t shut down telecommunications because they provide valuable intelligence. Troops use their phones and tablets as much as anybody these days, and these devices send a constant stream of metadata to cell towers, which can be used by Russia to estimate their positions. It’d be a cinch for Russia to shut down civilian communications infrastructure if they wanted to.
Probably all of the above. I was surprised too after 20 years of what the US has done in the Middle East. Russia probably want’s to avoid any scenes like that.
U.S. was basically carpet bombing everything with cruise missiles and drones.
Yes, I guess that could be portrayed to the medias as the logic behind it. If russia would win this war – what it won t without sending in 600.000 troops + using large caliber artillery (like in Grozny) + thermobaric weapons + neutron bombs – they were planning to have a supportive population in ukraine and half-way intact infra-structure afterwards. So they refrain from using these above mentioned weapons, as using them would result in a minimum of 800tsd to 1.2 mio dead ukrainians – thus being again genocide ( added to the already commited one – Holodomor of the soviet forefathers and their JewDSSR/UDSSR jewish commissar leaders against Ukraine). So regardless which way we turn it, russia is losing.
But, like I told before – it is both not true, as this all is not about winning or losing. USA + EU + RU & China are all in the hand and controlled by the jewish international power-elite (Rothschild & Chabad Lubawitsch khasarian Mafia). And their aim is to bring all non-jewish nations into big world war against each other. And the Ukrainewar now is the can-opener, the opener to this box-of-the-pandora, resp. hot World War 3. What is why we all should better calm down, and not going gung-ho in hate and accusations. We should not let us get dragged into another stupid jewish initiated and mongered World War.
What makes you think that the Russians control the Ukrainian telecoms? Do you think Russian command was wise enough to confiscate all smartphones/tablets of Russian forces so they cannot be tracked by the towers (though there are plenty of cameras around to track them and lots of Indian and Phillipine sweat shops are monitoring them)?
It is apparent that the Russians expected the population to be more receptive and that large numbers of the Ukrainian armed forces would surrender without a fight. This estimation is not accurate, and the Ukrainian leadership and their NATO masters are more than willing to see the Ukrainian population suffer in the name of bleeding Russia. It’s war, and it is terrible for all concerned. NATO will fight to the last Ukrainian, and they win no matter what because Russia was drawn into war and they don’t care what happens to the Ukrainians.
That’s because it hasn’t gotten to that point yet. Now that the important cities and areas have been surrounded, the nationalists will become increasingly desperate. This will cause the regular Ukranians to turn against them. Or at least want to stay out of the conflict.
So far, they’ve sent in mostly conscripts, alongside some Spetsnaz units for recon and sabotage ops, but conscripts are always inferior in quality to volunteers because of their low motivation. Then again, it’s only been ten days, and Ukraine’s military isn’t as wimpy as it was in 2014.
They sent in mostly conscripts? What’s your evidence to support that claim?
Age. Most of the troops I’ve seen are very young. It follows that they’re performing their mandatory service.
For one, there was a mutiny of conscripts assigned to storm Odessa because of the heavy trained Ukrainian military there. And just in general, regarding the invasion of Ukraine from Russia proper, there were reports that the initial invasion consisted of newbie trainees who thought they were doing a training exercise
From what I’ve read, Ukraine has been rotating in and out fighters for years now and has the experience edge. The Russian lads did not even know what they were doing until the order was given. Some abandoned. Military seems to be more about opportunism to get an apartment than any other goal, whereas Ukraine propaganda says it’s about the homeland. Russia should know better than anyone what that difference makes, defending your physical and actual home vs. invading someone else’s (now that the fighting has moved towards Kiev, etc)
What is most interesting is Russia can only win the peace it wants with overwhelming progress, but that involves pacifying an enemy that has resolve to fight. All the propaganda that that the Ukraine enemy is bad evil Nazi etc and must be punished might help Russia on the homefront, but it makes this group being portrayed as such extremely unlikely to NOT fight to the death. There’s a price on Andriy Biletsky’s head, what about the others? What consequence does that all have on the battlefield?
So if no surrender, then a resolution like Grozny years ago has got to be on the table, but that would be a humanitarian disaster that no “peacekeeping” force can walk away from and expect Ukraine not to be thirsty for revenge and to accept a pro-Russian leader.
A very very difficult position to be in for Russia, specifically because not going hard like Grozny means all the sanctions, costs and other problems like the drain on men and material (especially pilots) is just going to keep adding up further and further, making for a Pyrrhic victory at best and a weak position to negotiate from.
I’m sure Russia was hoping for more than just the Donbass and end of the damming to Crimea. For that, Russia has lost the pipeline deal that would have put Germany and Russia closer than they ever have been in interests and collaboration, and would have put Russia as to backdoor to influence all of Europe. This is an even greater incentive not to pull a Grozny, it would only get worse. Russia’s dependence on China has now increased to levels that one might have though Germany would be in with Russia before all this.
Really tough position to be in. Hope Putin is playing some serious 4-D chess here.
“For one, there was a mutiny of conscripts assigned to storm Odessa because of the heavy trained Ukrainian military there.”
At least you are better with your propaganda than Hans. What is your source? It makes no sense to assault Odessa having not even secured Mykolaiv. This would meanly an assault strictly by sea.
Let me see if I can find it. There were two..
https://dumskaya.net/news/rossiyskie-matrosy-ustroili-bunt-kogda-im-prikaz-160512/
https://mobile.twitter.com/olex_scherba/status/1498587998627282945?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1498587998627282945%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.westernjournal.com%2Freport-russian-marines-mutiny-ordered-attack-ukrainian-beach-assault-canceled%2F
So *allegedly* a mutiny, as it could very well just be propaganda, as there is plenty of that going on in the fog of war.
But it is clear that the Russian navy was moving in the area and what purpose that had besides destroying the Ukrainian flagship (which was scuttled) remains to be seen, besides coastal bombardment support if that is even a thing.
It seems I can’t re-edit what I wrote unfortunately.
Yes, the info is very unclear. One might be forgiven, if one doesn’t believe a website that ends articles in СМЕРТЬ РОССИЙСКИМ ОККУПАНТАМ!
Interesting the Russian fleet showed up in front of Odessa and withdrew. This may have very many reasons. Testing battle readiness, or simply threatening Odessa so Ukraine withdraws troops from the frontline there. The mutiny thing seems far-fetched.
So your source is Ukrainian diplomat, ex ambassador to EU country ?

Ukraine may have some experienced troops fromt he conflict with Donetsk and Lugansk, but then, so has the other side. Russian troops were active on many more fronts, so your statement about Russian lads all being greeen is hardly correct. Secondly, defending your country: yes, of course. However 1) Am I defending my country or a corrupt elite? Certainly, so far Ukrainians are lead to believe the former. 2) Russians are aware that yes, they’re also defending their own country since NATO would hardly stop once they’ve Ukraine. Still, yes, they’re not at home. So all this plays a role, but there will be Russian units that are very motivated and some Ukrainian who are not too.
CIA DESPERATION
Calm down kike.
Indeed you should.
Putin is a murderer. And all this war is because of his sick dreams of make USSR great again. No f…ing chance. He will pay for it with his own stupid head
Ukrobot propaganda.
The U.S. and NATO needed 3weeks to take Baghdad and 2 months to take Kabul.
Just take the example of Fallujaf where NATo need almost 2 months to clear a relatively small city within an 100% desert terrain and with 110% aerian supremacy
Exactly ! And not to forget, US – because very afraid of the mujahedeen – used even masses of white phosphorous ammonitions against that city, after they forbid all the male population from leaving the city. And often even before that, the US marines delibrately kidnapped kids from the streets and bound them onto the front of their humvees before driving into Jolan and other heavily defended districts of Fallujah, hoping mujahedeen to therefore refrain from shooting RPG and SPG-9 at them. It was a horrific war crime. Real coward israeli fighting style, which the US did in iraqi Fallujah in 2004. And still it took them 2 months to clear that town. Jolan district was one of the areas where the Amurrikkans had the most losses. There where much more than 100 US troops killed in and around Fallujah (so including the towns of Karma and Ramadi which are nearby).
Taking heavily defended cities isn t easy, even if you take your gloves off and bomb the hell out of it. And it – in the end, gives only pain and blame to the aggressor, that’s for sure. The survivors and all kids coming from that place of earth will rightfully hate you and your country forever.
you have so fucked mind by russian media. I hope hgh inflation will kill you bastards
Yes, and that is only the beginning. Now that the supply-chain from the western countries into direction of Ukraine kicks in, thing will become even more ugly to the invaders. Because as long as the russian invader forces are still bound mainly to the northeast and south-east part of ukraine, it is very easy for NATO states to pump cheap but effective support to ukraine. No need for tons of large tanks and all that large gear, I think.
But (for example) 1. Medical personal & medical goods and food (including large amounts of canned food) and water storage stuff (in order to overcome extended military sieges) 2. Military special advisers who can train the civilian population in making booby-traps and EFP-IEDs, and give sniper-lessons to women and teenage kids. 3. 10 to 20 Train-loads full of HMX military explosives 4. 12000 pieces of Barrett M107A1 10 RD 50 BMG 29 (Sniper)Rifle & Ammo + same amount of Barrett QDL 50 Cal Noise Suppressors.
5. Several thousand civil employees of NGOs ready to take care of the civilian needs, and are communication and trauma specialists. 6. Large teams of western tunnel digging specialists who can help connect small villages through tunnels, as well as underground connect large housing complexes inside big cities, so that these become inpenetrable fortresses, and death traps to the invaders. 7. Several thousand additional Javelin & TOW anti-tank systems + ammo . 8. Good amount of Military drones, US Reapers and turkish Bayraktar TB2 will do (and can be operated from everywhere) 9. 100tsd’s of white phosporous rounds and bombs for several kinds of weapon systems like, mortars, drones(see above), SPG-9 etc. 10. Large loads of RKG-3 (anti-tank throwable granate) or US-equivalent.
11. On the polish side, as well as the romanian side of the borders hundreds of small metal-workshops should be established producing all sizes of conically formed copper plates, which are the main item needed to build cheap explosive-formed-penetrator-IEDs.
Such easy and relatively cheap support can make life of every russian invader trooper become very short. And I have not the slightest doubt that these above mentioned stuff and items and even more will be delivered within the next 2-4 weeks (with lots of it already inside ukraine – waiting in storage houses in westukraine to be applied to the battlefield as soon as more russian forces have been sucked into the ukrainian quagmire).
Your flaw is in assuming Russia wants to take over all of Ukraine. Peace will be achieved. That is the objective.
Poles hate you worse than Russians. You don’t history too well do you?
Poles hate more Putin and Russian people who cannot see what is going on in Ukraine. Putin is murdering thousands of people. And you believe that a small country (Ukraine( wanted to attack Russia… Are you mad?
Their trying to evacuate the civilians, they dont want to slaughter ukrainian civilians.
I dont blame them its a tough spot to be in.
Russians are killing the Ukrainians, not trying to evacuate them.
Russians totally fcuked up
Ukraine and its armed forces have ceased to exist and only tactical formations of Ukrainians, no greater than company size, continue to operate. Mercenaries that successfully entered Ukraine do not exceed 500. Your missive is nothing but Wishful Thinking. My recommendation is to learn Russian to have a fighting chance of survival of the Work and Reeducation Camps where you and similar specimens will be interned.
…you need to go to hospital , ’cause you have serious brain problem

Looks like, there is no point to go easy on those gaycranians anymore, brainwashed to the bone, not possible to recover, amicunts and britocunts did their job. Ukkies have got to be deleted, they are nothing more than cancer. After that anglo garbage needs to suffer and get deleted afterwards.
It is clear that there was an underestimation of the capacity of the Ukrainians to resist. They have been bolstered with NATO weapons, and there are NATO special forces operators in the Ukraine. There is obviously a belief that if they hold out long enough, some overt NATO action will come to their rescue.
The US has proven in the past that they can string out a war for a long time with a lot of their puppets dying, and there is no reason to think they will hesitate to do that in the Ukraine. The NATO countries are happily pedalling the story of heroic resistance in the Ukraine, which means that the population will be sacrificed in the name of prolonging the war. There will be no return to pre-2014 conditions, and there has to be a Russian strategy to deal with a relentless effort by the US and lackeys to grind the Russian state down, with Cold War conditions prevailing. The US has sacrificed the Ukrainians to stave off economic integration of Russia with Western Europe. The question is how well can Russia adapt to this situation. The US doesn’t give anybody anything for free, so it will be interesting to see what the fate of whatever Ukrainian state is left after the fighting stops.
The Ukrainians have sentenced themselves to chaos and servitude for decades and massively harmed their neighbors in Russia.
NATO means death and capitulation, and their goal is the reduction of Russia to the state it was in from 1991 to 2000. This is a sacred mission for the Russian forces, and it is a monumental task.
fuckers are deluded, this is why i say that russians should not cling to the past and eliminate those fuckers and focus on western cunts
ukrop nazis do not resist; they hide behind civilians
Russia can’t afford a long drawn out city warfare and wins if it goes full Grozny.
But less than Israel with the Palestinians (the first example that came to mind with human shield) Russia cannot afford to go full Grozny if civis are there, however. That ups the antee.
So basically you remove the civis, you make the cost benefit analysis Tilt in favor of being Goznied and you become a crater.
So when that’s the choice of course they refuse. I love how everyone expects somebody to just play along to that, you wouldn’t either.
where do tyou have this information from? Rossia Today? Russia is a state of mind. You are totally brainwashed by your media. Putin is a murderer. Ukrainians are fighting for their country and you are an agressor. I hope Putin will be shot down soon by some smarter general from his assist.
“War is Hell.” The Kremlin is trying to conduct war without the Hell, and Russian troops are paying for it. Observing the Russian casualties, Chechnya’s leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, told Putin to get out of the way and let the military conduct a military operation. It makes no sense, he said, to save Ukrainian lives at the expense of Russian ones. The Chechnya leader is a loyal Putin ally. For him to speak out like this is an indication that Putin’s policy risks demoralizing the Russian Army and undermining Putin’s support among Russian nationalists.
Every dead civilian will the the centerpiece of the daily 1-hour global hate.
I’m wondering where are the drones – I thought Russia was building them, why are they sending young men in tiny squadrons into cities? Are human lives cheaper than the drones?
And where is the active armor? Seems like every ATM is successful.
90% of the war footage I have seen so far has been fake. Ukraine will paint Z’s on their own destroyed equipment.
Because Putin is jew, and Selensky is jew, US V. ” Fuck the EU” Nuland is jewess too, and Biden Administration is 90 % jewish as well. And they all want maximum amount of poor christian men/soldiers thrown into and massacred in a senseless and stupid battle. That’s the answer to your question, got it ?
If that were true, why didn’t this special military operation happen back in 2014 or 2015 when Donbass was originally threatened? Why delay it for 8 years while educating we the people about what Nuland and company were up to…?
”We are opposing to those people… that ‘world elite’ which plans to establish technogenic based neo-slavery system seriously and forever. Under such world disorder, there will simply be no place for majority of people. Every ordinary fighter realizes it here… After Russia disintegrates, we will get world structure ruled literally by the devil.”
~ Donbass militia member Gennadiy Dubovoi, 2014
Kadyrov will be killed eighter by US drone or assasination from Chechen mujahideen very soon. Don t worry.
Idiot
If they have to go Grozny on the Ukrainians at this point, I am all for it. It seems like a majority of the population enjoy belonging to the poorest, most corrupt country in Europe. Sort of reminds me of Poland. They never wanted to be liberated from Nazi Germany at all.
You mean the “Nazi Germany” which pulled the country out of a serious economic downturn and complained about Poles massacring ethnic Germans in Danzig? An area balkanized from Germany into Poland?
How was Ex-Weimar Germany significantly different from Ex-Soviet Russia which pulled the country out of a serious economic downturn and complained about Ukrainians massacring ethnic Russians in Donbass? An area balkanized from Russia into Ukraine?
A more appropriate WW2 analogue to Ukraine would be the Soviet Union. You can tell from the billions of dollars worth of American military aid and Bolshevik, neo-Bolshevik leadership…
lazy Cyric Vigilius, go to work .
Exactly. The US strategy is to treat this like Afghanistan in 1979. This is the only thing that the US military industrial complex does extraordinarily well, at no risk except that whoever it arms might one day become the power of the region, at which case the US usually just smashes them (or tries to, only to end up in its own literal Afghanistan)
” The US has sacrificed the Ukrainians to stave off economic integration of Russia with Western Europe.” – It’s all one Empire, and the US puppets in charge aren’t running the show, seems you haven’t peeled that layer of the onion yet.
Excellent points, Clyde. Yet as you said, “The US has proven in the past that they can string out a war for a long time.” This was also true in the previous world wars where the US “officially” entered the wars “late,” but unofficially was involved in the years or decades worth of sanctions, provocations, and aggressive military maneuvers which prompted the wars in the first place.
Compare the Ukraine of today to the Philippines of 80 years ago: Federal Reserve Act America was building up its military presence in the Philippines since the Spanish-American War. This is around when Major General Smedley “War is a Racket” Butler began his military career. Obviously, Japan’s leaders did not appreciate all this American military personnel and materiel closer and closer to Japan, and the Philippines did not have a good time when Japan got fed up and did something about it (e.g. the Battle of Bataan), but at the end of the long con, which would you rather be? The Philippines or Japan…?
When considering why “the Ukrainians have sentenced themselves to chaos and servitude,” it is important to note that countries siding against the “international clique” have historically been hit with more chaos, usually because the clique wins its conflicts.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, surely you’ve heard. What immediately comes to mind is Russia can forget about that puppet state it might wish to achieve if it reduces Kiev, etc to dust. And if you don’t think that’s gonna make it easy for Bandurists to recruit, you are nuts. Also at stake is the pipelines that have been Russia’s literal lifeline, all that cash flow goes to zero. And Russia will now need China more than China needs Russia. A lot at stake, hope Putin for your sake has the right strategists in place. It is already being said that a yes man with no military experience is in charge of this whole operation. That’s certainly not a good omen.
Okay, so consolidate your gains in the south, land bridge to Transnistria, secure all the territory for the two republics and call it a day. That shouldn’t take more than another two weeks. It may not be want the original goals were and the present government of Ukraine may remain, but it is better than staying in a protracted conflict that keeps bleeding you.
That would probably be wise.
The problem is the last to consider a handshake in Ukraine got offed. And Ukraine has material and moral support “fight on!” encouragement from all the powers that matter except China.
So it’s that, pride, and how deep whoever is in their pockets.
For Russia, it’s certainly good enough it would seem. And probably the closest Russia can get to walking away without incensing and fueling the energy of those who were most likely to be prodded against “Muscovy” in the first place.
There’s a certain irony in that if Ukraine’s far right were closer to Europe, it would be more exposed to pro-Russia sentiment.
Deranged psychopath, get a grip.
You need professional help. This is Whites vs. Whites by Jewish command. Makes no sense to slaugther each other.
looks like propaganda by west and ukkies. ukkie army is surrounded and probably will be destroyed if they don’t comply, for what i really hope, russian leadership is trying to get some consession from ukkies , controlled gov etc etc i would just carpet bomb that brainwashed people, no need for death of Russian soldiers.
You’re right, Russian soldiers shouldn’t be sacrificed because of the illusions of stupid salon generals from the Kremlin who think that the life of a Ukrainian civilian is more valuable than the life of a Russian soldier. Carpet bomb the cities that resist, it doesn’t matter how much you care about the lives of civilians, Western propaganda will declare you a war criminal anyway. If the Russians continue like this, they may lose the war humiliated, it will be used by the Moscow tycoon’s who will overthrow Putin and bring a new Gorbachev/Yeltsin…
“Western propaganda will declare you a war criminal anyway. If the Russians continue like this, they may lose the war humiliated, it will be used by the Moscow tycoon’s who will overthrow Putin and bring a new Gorbachev/Yeltsin…”
Except that was probably the West’s globohomo plan all along, to get Putin in a meatgrinder or cratermaker conundrum, either of which would plant the seeds of an anti-Russian “think of the children!” revolution. And of course globohomo gets the added bonus of destroying Ukraine as a white, somewhat traditional country (what country is left? Time to auction off the brides). Plus this is driving a wedge between Russian rightists and Europe’s rightists because everyone is confused about Azov as a “pro-white and defend Europe” thing.
Can we ever just once NOT play into the globalist hands?
None, neighter russian, nor ukrainian christians should be sacrificed for this lunatic judaic purim debakel. It is jews, sending christians into war against each other. This one has to realize, before these hook-nosed demons succeed with pushing us yet into another stupid jewish initiated World War.
why is it so difficult to post a comment on this site
death to ukkies and afterward to brito trash and amicants
If the Russians are having such trouble from the supposedly ” ill trained ” and equipped Ukie troops what will happen if the face the full might of NATO. Something is off here, the Russians were supposed to be far better. Additionally, where are the famed Russian EW weapons ? Ukie electronics should have been fried a long time ago.
Russians are trying to convert ukkies to become normal again, but those are too far gone, russians need to pull out big guns and stop turning the other cheek.
While I somewhat the agree for the western half, I would be more inclined to preserve the ethnic-Russian’s in the east that are held hostage by the Ukrops.
Most here see this as black and white. What is exactly what the perpertrators behind it all want you to think. Don t be stupid. US & RU are both controlled by the NWO Rothschild & Chabad Lubawitsch. It is not even a secret anymore, but still lots of folks here are so gung-ho in their pro-putin or from-Nato sentiment that the real enemy will easily drag them into World War 3. Calm down people. The government of a country is not same as the people of a country. I personal do not have anything against russian people, nor against ukrainian. I see the action Putin has taken against the Ukraine as criminal, yes, but still the russian people are not my enemy. And we should not overreact, as this is what the governments want us to do. They want to push us into war-modus, wherefore in fact THEY the hiddenly JEWISH CONTROLLED GOVERNEMNTS of nearly all western and eastern Nations of this world, are the real enemy of mankind resp. of us.
Either they were playing nice or the entire war is just scripted, designed to drag the conflict on and maximize the body count. I hope it’s the former.
I’m coming to the same conclusion. It seems Putin never intended to win this war. It seems, one of its objectives was to make everyone forget about the covid scam. In that regard this war has performed brilliantly. There are other objectives of course. There always are,
If this ends up being the case I don’t see how this is not the nail in the coffin for the entire world. If Putin is following a WEF script that he’s been handed in it’s entirety, without thoughts of deviating from it, then it means there’s no resistance to the banking cartel anywhere, nothing to rally behind. If this is true then it is only a matter of time until the planned dystopia is fully implemented. For one’s mental sake, it’s probably best to not even entertain the notion of this being the case.
How does that make sense. He would sacrifice all of Russia to carry out orders for the WEF?
Cyric, Putin is a jew, his mother is jewish (she is a maidenname born SHALOMova. In jewish belief whoever has jewish mother is a full-jew). Communism btw. is a jewish ideology, same as zionism, bolshewism and marxism. Merkel is jewish. The whole Biden Administration is jewish. The Banking Kartell Rothschild Central Bank System is Jewish. Israel is jewish. China is communist controlled resp. jewish-controlled. How much more I need to tell you ? Selensky (president of Ukraine) is jewish. The guy behind him Oligarch kolomoisky is jewish and hold israel and ukrainian passport. Putins best friend grandrabbi Berel Lazar is jewish and in high position of the messianic judaistic endtime sect Chabad Lubawitsch, who want the “Armageddon” resp. World War in order to make the jewish Messiah to come. These disgusting jewish madmen are ruling the world !!! Get it , and better quick ! Merkel and Putin are members of the same arc-lodge called Golden Eurasia. Merkel is also member of the jewish Bnai Brith order. The whole EU is jew-controlled. Open your eyes man !!! It is them !!!
Dont other leaders sacrifice their countries. Why not Putin ?
fag of war always wrong—ukropistan already defeated surrounded…because you gringos are cowards younwant immediate obliteration of all civilians—you are immoral cretins
You dumb fuck. If Russia loses this war its over for all of us. Speaking of cowards, why arent you in Ukraine fighting Mr. loyal Russian ?
I share your suspicion. Look at who benefits from this war: NATO, US, IsraHell. The Nazis of Ukraine were supposedly the bait, but were they really bait, or just part of the script. We’ll find out in 2 weeks time.
It gets better. Europe gets to solve any lingering nationalist problems it may have by convincing them to go die in Ukraine. I think Denmark is even paying to go.
NATO , usa exposed as impotent divided—irrelevant for Israel—too much crack in arkansas
I am in donbas fag—there will be no loss–we already won
Sure you are, And you just happen to have a bunch of free time to post here while also fighting the Ukrainians. We’re not dumb you blithering moron. Now kindly fuck off.
1. This is a campaign on foreign land, it never always goes easy – think Iraq, Afghanistan
2. NATO been training and equipping these guys for 8 years
3. These are the initial days of the war, there tends to be some serious breakthrough in a matter of days once defenses collapse
4. There’s lots of Russian-made equipment on the other side. Those air defenses and artillery are definitely top notch
1: Ukraine is Russia’s neighborhood they know it like the back of their hand.
2: NATO has been training and equipping for decades not just 8 years, whats that mean for Russia if they have problems fighting Ukraine.
3: Not always. Additionally, Russia’s breakthroughs had no ” follow through ” they were just mad dashes it seems. Very strange planning.
4: Equipment is only as good as its operators or the incompetency of the other side. Which option happened in this war ?
95% of the ukrop military gear and installations have been destroyed if you haven’t noticed.
Its mostly small arms and hand portable weapons systems now.
Ru doesn’t want to commit genocide like the US usual dies this slows them down considerably
” Ru doesn’t want to commit genocide like the US usual dies this slows them down considerably ”
No genocide necessary. However, one must fight to win. The responsibility for Ukrainian lives falls on the Ukrainians. If they dont want to evacuate their citizens from harms way so be it. Russia will get blamed no matter what.
Moscow has still not clearly declared its intentions toward the occupied territories. But everybody knows that they want to call it the Federal Republic of Ukraine. It’s the world’s worst kept secret. Probably because Putin the human cockroach has already lost the loyalty of half the Kremlin. Likely because he turned out to be such an incompetent military amateur.
Actually he ained most loyalty of his people and elite, on the other hand he lost mine, i want all ukkies out of Russia and be nuked elsewhere, canser pople .
u CIA idiots will eventually learn–you are proven to be impotent immoral cretins
Putin was wise to keep the Republics in a concentrated area simply for the fact that the Ukrop rats try to infiltrate and undermine any peace. And the Ukrops did in fact do that, were caught, and punished.
This is a strategic stop. Resupply, consolidate, work on diplomacy e.g. the humanitarian corridor.
Russia will continue the advances on all fronts and complete encirclement. Then the cauldron will start getting hot …
It’s been made extremely clear that there is no room for negotiations. Zelensky’s representatives clearly have orders to make the peace negotiations go nowhere and militant groups like AZOV kill their own civilians if they try to escape, so they can keep using them as meat shields. The russians NEED to cut power to the entire country and start some heavy shelling of areas where there’s is heavy concentrations of resistance. It’s time to stop playing nice or every single AFU soldier they kill is going to be replaced by a foreign mercenary if this keeps going on. They also desperately need to get control of the Polish border from which all the weapons and mercs are being supplied.
“They also desperately need to get control of the Polish border from which all the weapons and mercs are being supplied.”
From your keystrokes to God’s ears. Would it also not be a great PR win to capture some of these NATO operatives?
There are about 20,000 Ukrainian soldiers, mostly irregular in the southwest Kiev and south Kiev. They have about 400 antitank guided missile launchers and much ammunition. When Russia goes in Kiev a ways, the units of the Ukrainian flanks will go north along the outskirts, then attempt to encircle and destroy lead elements of the Russian advance. I Think so.
Russians should just bomb them into submission
u don’t think
Hello to all …….
No matter wich side you are .. this conflict is reaching stakes wich the humanity and the population of Russia cannot allow such behaviour.. Looking at the history of wars this war if not stopped will kill us all no matter where you are.
……….
If a small mistake is made …. NO COMMENT….
Just think about….
Never ever seeing again you family and your entire past life..
We must stop Putin….
No matter wich side you are make sure that they don’t ever use nuclear weapons… it will be devastating for all of us no matter where you are in the world..
We always thought about Russia that they changed in behaviour.
I have Russian friends either don’t like the Russian gov
.
Thank you
..,…..
..
..
GOD FORGIVE US.
you despicable nazi cretin—-your CIA trash reveals how desperate impotent, incompetent you really are
Talk to Israhell and ZioAmerica they both first strike policies and are psychopaths willing to use that capability . You’re worried about Russia ?
Give it a rest, chump. This war happened because the US would permit Russia to exist as an independent entity. They used the Ukrainians, and the only ones paying the price are Ukrainians and Russians. Grow up.
Your Western friends are pushing for a nuclear conflict. They keep going like blind people. In fact, it might just happen.
Can someone clarify what’s going on with the top image? When I first saw it, I decided it was “fake”: it was admittedly a worse quality version, but it seemed to me so unreal that I was sure it was photoshop. Your version seems to be better quality and this stuff I thought was “fake” no appear to be coherent but it’s still a very small photo and no details can be discerned.
Of course here you here blame UAF and the version I saw (copied from Washington Post) claimed it was Russian-made destruction but, regardless, what are those civilians doing under such a dangerous ruin? Why are far right militias (yellow armbands) holding them under such a perilous structure? How was the bridge destroyed? Why are pedestrian civilians even there at all? Why are cars stopped there as if the demolition of the bridge just happened before their noses?
I don’t make any sense of that photo even if it’s not photoshop.
Awful news related to the shoot down of two aircrafts (1 SU 34 and 1 chooper). It sounds strange this event. Where are flares and counter measures aiming to fend off MANPADS’ s threat? Despite Russia being getting several sucesses this conflict is showing very amount of weakeness within Russian Armed Forces: bad comand, lacks of integration among various troops, bad logistics. In the communication field, Russia lost this war. Every social media believe the Ukraine’s tales about 10.000 casualties into the RF.
Dude, firstly the footage of the chopper getting shot down is from a video game, it isn’t real! just because there’s video makes it real!! Use your head and start looking at it objectively. You people are no different than people from the 60’s who thought the moon-landing was real because they saw it on TV.
Its freaken easy to fake videos on your phone.
Would you like to see videos and photos of the dead and captured Russian pilots ? They’re out there because Russia has lost and is losing aircraft.
fag of war has video games from CIA
So Russia lost no aircraft ?
Ukropistan lost its whole chair farce.
Nobody said it would be easy.
Ukrain is not Iraq.
They had state of the art air defense.
Still most of it is toast now.
UAF lost its last 4 Su-27s yesterday, probably taken out by one or two Su-35s
Yeah , yeah, you can say all you losses is just a game, but economic sanctions are real, and things will get much much worse. But you have to live in Russia to understand that.
And you think the crumbling americant empire and the EU is doing fine?
US was already collapsing and now the EU will collapse too without Russian energy and raw materials.
Everything comes from Russia, gas, oil, steel, aluminum, rare earth minerals the list goes on.
Not sure about the Helicopter, but I believe the Russian MOD confirmed they lost the plane. However, they claimed on the same day to have shot down four Ukrainian Jets. It would be nice if we had some video footage. Again, Russia loses the PR war so badly. I am surprised that the Ukrainian Air Force is still flying.
It wasn’t a bad day overall, but I had really hoped one of the cities had fallen. Mariupol is ready too, but the Russians get tricked again with false evacuation of civilians.
Ukropistan chair farce had a 100 jets they have lost 92 sofar.
There is a good reason Ru isn’t pushing the PR camping according to the Geneva Convention its prohibited to post pics or film from the enemy dead or alive because it violates basic Human rights and individual security.
I’ll assume it’s real. I’ll give your thoughts a chance as well as the chopper didn’t make the slightest of any evasive maneuvers, it was so robotic. That missile was coming with all the contrails and if they saw it, why didn’t they evade?
My friend, yesterday it was deeply shown by russian outlets the debris of SU-34 destroyed and the russian pilot captured.
There are several tactical and strategic mistakes in this war by Russian Armed Forces. You can deny according to your bias but even Igor Strelkov in several articles presents some mistakes by RF.
I don’t believe in any daily report shown off by Ukraine Ministry of Defence, but even so Southfront here considers various issues within Russian Armed Forces.
Ukraine right now is divided into three groups
The ones that fleed or are going to flee
The ones that NATO subversion wash their head and are willing to die for their Puppet government.
The ones that are held hostage to make sure russia will not go full grozny, or if they do their sacrifice will be good for westenr media propaganda
” The ones that are held hostage to make sure russia will not go full grozny, or if they do their sacrifice will be good for westenr media propaganda ”
Exactly Russia should go in full bore, while informing the world that they tried to save the civilian lives. Either way, they’ll be blamed for the deaths.
exactly
To expect to take an overwhelmingly hostile country in just 30 days with the level of restraint Russia appears to be showing seems like either overconfidence, unchecked ambition or just plain arrogance. I am curious to see how long it takes Russia to negate these Stingers, they should have samples by now.
” To expect to take an overwhelmingly hostile country in just 30 days with the level of restraint Russia appears to be showing seems like either overconfidence, unchecked ambition or just plain arrogance. ”
There are many more possibilities.
Russia certainly got off to a bad start. I’m expecting a massive clash at some point when more mercenaries take part in the battle. Perhaps Ukraine will be the turf for everyone around the world to settle a score…..
false—good start, good progress
false—most of ukraine not hostile—otherwise the loss of territory would not be so rapid,
Why has your comment been downvoted?
OK, what I will say to put it mildly is that SU-34 should not be flying that low! Sometimes I think the Russian Forces are being setup, because surely they couldn’t make some of the crucial mistakes they have so far……
Many strange things are happening. Just think of the first wave of the invasion, when they sent in those light armoured columns into fortified cities. Let’s just say that you expected light resistance, okay that’s fair enough. But why not spend more time taking out strategic targets with long range missiles first, like they did on day 1? Except on day 1 they barely scraped the surface. They could have continued the missile barrage until the Ukrainian army was sufficiently crippled.
The next logical phase would be to send in scouts, who properly assess the situation. Maybe have them talk to the locals a bit and inquire about the public sentiment and assess the amount of troops who occupy the city. This honestly does not seem like Rocket science. What’s the point of sacrificing a bunch of kids in tin cans by sending them into cities where mentally ill brainwashed lunatics are waiting in civilian buildings to ambush them. The next step could have been to cut off power and communication nation wide. This way civilians can’t be encouraged by their corrupt government to self immolate.
very few Russian sacrifices—nearly all tragic weapons already destroyed. Russian awareness of each village is already comprehensive. the pockets where nazi brigades exist are well known. they are surrounded starving losing in all battles
Very good point. Russia is a hybrid population with so many mixed marriages. Same applies for the russian army. How many in the planing staff or general staff or among the officers have a ukraine background? Marriages? Mother ukraine or father ukraine and the son is high ranking officer in the russian forces. That is exactly the same kamikaze scenario of Yugoslav Army. Sabotage from inside at all frontlines. It took the serbs a hell of blood to finally accept and eliminate these circumstances.
” Russia is gaining control of upwards of 5% of Ukrainian territory per week. If 10% of Ukraine is gained per month. In 5 months Russia will be administrating half of the country with the other half under partial occupation. With increasing economic production offsetting the military campaign costs. ”
In 5 months NATO will have pumped in so many mercenaries, spec ops, volunteers, and weapons that Russia will be fighting there for years, and might even lose.
This war needs to be won ASAP, otherwise its game over. Why do you think the ZioAmericans want endless negotiations and ceasefires ?
Quite rightly pointed. Milosevic falled into the negotiation and ceasefire trap again and again. The results were losing momentum, losing gained territory and losing propaganda. For his willingness to negotiate he had been awarded accordingly with war criminal tribunal den haag.
At the moment looks like Putin is going the Milosevic path with doing same mistakes.
It is sad to see how Putin is falling into the trap.
He must bomb the shit out of them otherwise its game over.
The US military doctrine is unfortunately the most effective and most sustainable solution.
Why Russia wants to experiment with a we are “We re JESUS” warriors and we love to be killed by civilians filled with hatred. I am sorry for all the russian soldiers lost their lifes for these hateful civilians. What waste of russian soldiers lifes. Unbelievable.
THERE ARE NO CIVILIANS ANYMORE! ONLY VOLKSSTRUM!
Successfully Nato has turned all civilians to VOLKSSTURM.
Only the russian side is not recognising these fact.
Tesla see: Reasonable move of Putin would have been to occupy the Donetzk and Lugansk regions, and march a max. of 40 kilometers into Ukraine to establish buffer zone. Then go to security council and ask for talks in order to solve the problem or establish permanent de-militarized zone through UN-Blue helmet soldiers there. Or establish 40 km permanent russian-militarized zone there. So that Ukrainian military cannot shoot artillery into East-Ukrainan Donetzk or Lughask area. Problem solved. Civilians in that areas saved. Putin would be the big saviour, and everything would be fine ( at least compared to the current horrific situation). But no NWO-proll Putin, on order of his jewish Chabad-masters, decided to do full blown invasion of Ukraine, in order to take away the attention of the world masses from the global mRNA-vaccine holocaust which the jews have commited the last 2 years against all people of west.- and east-europe as well as against the north-american populations. Therefore:
What you write, first eye looks to be close to the truth. But it isn t. Truth is, the jews Rothschild and its worldwide parasitical central bank system and Chabad Lubawitsch messianic endtime organisation (real judaic psychos), with their puppets Biden, Merkel, Baerbock, Selensky, Kolomoisky, Schwab, Soros, Putin, Lazar, Netanjahu, and Abramowitsch, Teichtal, Schuster, Gates, Ginzburg (Sputnik V) etc. They are behind it all, and they will drive us deeper and deeper into full blown World War 3, and will fight to the last Christian, and the last Muslim and dont give rat’s shit about the life of any non-jew on this planet.
Ukraine is not Syria. In Syria only syrian soldiers are dying. But Syria is the best example for the failure of the strategy safe civlians and risk your soldiers lifes.
” One of the things that I learned during specops training is the value of caution as a contributing factor to success. T ”
They might have trained you in that, but it was just a ” feel good ” lesson.
The US never exercise caution . They go in, bomb anything that moves, then send in their forces to kill anything left over. No caution, just unadulterated brute force. This has been proven many times in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya and so forth.
ukrops USA exposed as impotent, incompetent—NATO so farcical many NATO presidents are denouncing it as worthless….they do zero against nazis, whine cry like retarded girls w diaper rash…..the slow strangulation is preferred—this permits the cowardly rats to immigrate to LGBT Denmark and gringolandia where actual males are difficult to find…the ukrops so desperate they immediately agreed to negotiation so as to avoid full humiliation and surrender—too late you have no where to go but Miami
Heheheh….I definitely agree with you there!!
Russia controls 40% of Ukraine’s territory after just 10 days.
You know west of Kiev is like 2 other cities?
40 % is little
I think you can take it as read that Donbass will remain independent from whatever is left to the outlaws that run Ukraine. Don’t forget Russia already recognised Donbass as independent. That is fait accomplis, talk is cheap and Russia holds its promises.
No rush, RU are picking off the practical resistence to retain control. They can wait for the opportune time to take the cities they surround. Momentum and numbers are with Russia and it is only a matter of when not if.
PUTIN CLEARLY IS DELUDED. HE THOUGHT HE WILL BE WELCOMED. RUSSIA COULD HAVE DESTROYED UKRAINE WITHOUT EVER SETTING FOOT INSIDE. WHAT A SHAME. COULD HAVE DONE A SYRIA TYPE OF OPERATION.
cia ron deluded; syria is not ukraine…your amerikant thinking reflects why you lose all wars
The people of Zaporizhya in the vídeo, are new nazi Cyborgs or Ukranian people’s to re-take Ukraine from the nazi coup and fight along side with russians?
Cyborgs becoz Zaporizhya is still under Ukrorobot control. I do not rule out that they are the new ISIS mercenaries given way by Nazi West Block
You are an Su-34, what are you doing below 5000m? if a SAM took you out, we wouldn’t say a thing, it happens. NATO lost dozens of high end jets around the world to SAMs, notably the F-15 Strike Eagle in Iraq. But MANPADS?
It’s hard to believe they would really do this when they are also aware of stinger missiles everywhere. All the Ukrops have to do is radio ahead to MANPADS in the area, and even if a few miss…..it ony takes one to take down an exponentially more expensive piece of military hardware.
manpads have been ineffective, otherwise ukrops would not be losing territory in all areas of direct contact
Surely they serve as a deterrant to some degree, particularly from the evidence of an SU-34 and helicopters being shot down? Even deadlier if they are used behind enemy lines….
Weather perhaps. Can’t do what you need to do at 15k ft if your target is on the ground, and the cloud cover is preventing you from seeing or the optics from seeing/engaging said target(s). But then you get down below that to engage and you’re subject to randoms (and foreign embeds who have been alerted to the fact you’re in the area from foreign radars and are ready) with stingers taking pot shots.
There’s basically no way an SU-34 would be flying that low, cloud cover or not, they would use something like an SU-25 instead.
I’m thinking now that it might have been flying in what was thought to be safe territory and got surprised by enemy that stayed/snuck behind the line unnoticed.
You got Spetsnaz on the ground with laser painters and you pick them targets off from 40,000 ft if you like. Only SAMs get there. This was and is a serious miscalculation which I doubt they’ll repeat. It didn’t happen in Syria that’s awash with MANPADS
The confrontation between the Iraq war and this war cannot be made because Ukraine is getting massive economic and military aid (systems, weapons and manpower) from the West Block whereas the Iraq was under embargo for ten years
The point is the F-15 Strike Eagle was shot down numerous times over Iraq, but only by SAMs, not MANPADS. This is like a taboo
slow and steady Russia making sure that no terrorist remain on that land which Russia take under thier control. Putin knows now NATO cant do anything so he is taking time to make sure area under them should be free of neo nazi and terrorist. Russia is sending alll nazi terrorist and alqaeda isil to NAto state. now.
As long as ethnic-Russians are liberated promptly before anymore Terrorists dig in and hold them hostage.
Thank you. SF, for your reporting on the situation(s).
It is important to keep a farther perspective. The war is not decided by who “wins” in a propaganda bubble. Events on the ground are crucial. Especially after the war, things need to be clarified. Of course, there is massive censorship in the “West” (and frankly elsewhere). I’m looking at lots of ‘alternative’ media (actually real media) that are sponsored by no government. You’ll get an awry picture if you only look at official media; many people don’t consume anymore anyway. In the real media, there is much understanding for the Russian position and rejection of NATO warmongering. The situation is far less one-sided than you may perceive. So there is hardly a danger Russia would “succumb” to blahblahblah.
Yet, I think you’re quite right about the formulation of clear objectives and a vision of a post-war Ukraine. There may be a reason this isn’t laid out yet. Things are moving, in a big way. This is about truly global issues. About dollar-dominance, about financial hegemony, about keeping nations poor or letting them prosper. I do hope it’s not going to be a bigger confrontation in terms of war. However, I think baring that, NATO has already thrown pretty much everything at Russia. The latter won’t back down easily; really not at all, I think. True, the war in Ukraine should quickly be brought to a close and a clear plan laid out.
Unfortunately, propaganda gives motivation to the Nazi’s and Jihadi’s to act even bolder if they think their gonna win. But at the same time, Russia can’t just make stuff up to cover up for big mistakes, so I think the best strategy is to come clean and move on. We know Russia is a Superpower and has succeeded in Syria of all places, so Ukraine should be an easier place to conquer once the forces really get underway.
