Events on the battlefields of Ukraine over the last month show that Russia is quite clearly winning the war. Although you would not know this, from any articles or news broadcasts in the Western media. Since late February, the collective Western media has engaged in a quite deliberate misinformation campaign whose central narrative is that Russia has suffered huge casualties in men and materials while suffering numerous defeats at the hands of the Ukrainian forces. That is some defeat when Russia and DPR/LPR forces control over 20% of Ukraine’s territory.
This misinformation campaign asserts that Russia failed in its attempt to capture Kiev and Kharkov during the early stages of the current war. Of course, anyone with an elementary knowledge of military strategy would know that the Russian forces which occupied the suburbs of Kiev and Kharkov, were merely there to hold down large numbers of Ukrainian troops and prevent them from reinforcing their front lines in the Donbass region. As the Western media focused on Russia’s ‘failed’ attempts to capture these cities the bulk of the Russian war effort was focused on liberating the Donetsk and Lugansk regions from Ukrainian control.
Events over the last month from the surrender of the Ukrainian garrison at Azovstal in Mariupol to the Russian successes in taking cities such as Lyman and Popasna reveal how the Russian military campaign is progressing according to plan.

The steady, methodical advance of Russian forces is happening despite the massive influx of weapons from American imperialism and its allies. This daily advance by Russian forces is happening despite the 10,000 Western sanctions that were supposed to collapse Russia’s economy.
Instead of collapsing Russia’s economy the endless rounds of sanctions have served to fuel inflation, which is hitting Western living standards hard, and undermine their economies. In the UK it is estimated that 6 million households will face power cuts this winter to help maintain sanctions on Russia. The EU is compounding this economic madness by its
decision to institute a partial ban on Russian oil. Today this has pushed the price of a barrel of Brent oil to $124.
From week to week Western media pundits and corporate politicians try and deceive ordinary people by the steady stream of hopium like narratives which revolve around new rounds of sanctions, together with the new supplies of ‘wonder’ weapons designed to alter the balance of forces on the battlefields of the Donbass. In the first few weeks of the war, the Western media crowed about how Western anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons, such as javelins and stingers, were going to bring the Russian offensive to a grinding halt. Once it became apparent that these weapons had had little or no impact on the battlefield, new narratives have been spun up about how the West will supply Ukraine with heavy weaponry to defeat those evil Russkies. Apparently, American howitzers, British and Australian armoured cars, Danish anti-ship missiles and now the prospect of American multiple rocket launcher systems are all going to help Ukraine defeat Russia on the battlefield. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Ukrainian forces lack the training and combat experience to operate these weapons at an optimal level as part of a combined arms operation. Besides this, Russia has an abundance of heavy artillery which far outstrips the firepower of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Never mind the fact that Russia has complete dominance of the skies and is using its aviation forces and long-range missile forces to devastating effect. On a daily basis, Ukraine’s military infrastructure is being degraded while Russia is systematically destroying large batches of newly delivered Western weaponry. To add insult to injury large amounts of Western weaponry are being captured on a daily basis by Russian and DPR/LPR forces.
As if this wasn’t bad enough Ukraine is suffering hundreds of casualties every day while small but growing numbers of troops either refuse orders to fight or are surrendering to Russian forces to avoid being killed. Don’t take my word for any of this. There is an abundance of photographic/video evidence on Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels to support my assertions. LINK
It is quite clear that over the next period Russian forces aim to take the remaining cities of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. They will not be deterred by further Western sanctions or arms supplies to Ukraine.

As I write this it appears Russian forces have taken the residential areas of Severodonetsk as Ukrainian forces withdraw to the industrial zone of the Azot plant in the city. Meanwhile, individual Ukrainian units are retreating under fire to Lisichansk where Ukraine hopes to make a stand and stabilize the front. Over the next period other major objectives include the cities of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk.
It remains to be seen where Russian forces will go once the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk have been fully liberated. Some speculate that Russia will then advance to Mykolaiv and from there take Odessa with a view to establishing a land corridor with Transnistria. Only time will tell where Russian forces will advance once the main concentration of Ukrainian forces have been defeated in the Donbass.
It will be interesting to see how American imperialism and its European allies respond to the defeat of Ukraine’s most experienced forces in the Donbass. Will they pressure Ukraine into negotiations with Russia? or will they seek to manufacture an incident which will give them the pretext for putting NATO boots on the ground? This would massively
escalate the situation and raise the prospect of open conflict with Russia.

Russia is clearly winning the war inside the deranged imagination of Vladimir Putin. Just like Adolf Hitler was winning the war when he put a gun to his mouth. Putin should declare victory by doing the same thing he did.
you know zalensky is a jew, not ukrainian.
The Empire of Circumcised Tampons continues to circle the drain. Petrodollar going bye bye. No more shekels for the Talmudic Tapeworm.
Funny that…so is Muhammad your Prophet.
The only deranged imagination is yours and your stupid comments are nothing more than the deranged imaginings of a paid troll who is fighting a lost cause because none of your comments are changing the direction of this conflict and if you think it does then you are definitely deranged. But we already knew you were deranged and that’s why I have to remind new comers to the comments section that Mo’humming is a fake azz sand kneegar and is a phuck wit that gets paid to post stupid and beyond ridiculous anti Russian narratives using ad hominem attacks because he thinks he is making a difference by doing this. Bwahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Correct. And at approx. 20.30 Jens Holm is on duty in the comments field.
I’m getting paid more than the shitty Russian army is getting paid. The deranged Russian president who’s winning the war hasn’t even paid the Russian soldiers in two months. He’s winning the war all for free. At least until he puts his gun to his mouth. Then he can declare victory.
Paid by the post, I presume.
Muhammed why don’t you put a gun in your own mouth instead of your BS”ing
Put down the crack pipe you deranged Jew faggot!
To lie continuously is a bad signal: your eternal Soul is in grave peril.
The prophets warned about Gehenna and Jesus confirmed it is real for those who are dishonest and live lies. The end is approaching: the free masons cannot save your soul. Repent now because eternity is a very very very long time.
The absence of God: no happiness. No love. Only suffering and horror. You don’t want to go there. Pray for Wisdom and Discernment that you will see the Truth and be saved from hell.
The soul is your shadow and is only visible in the light.
The other things you say are just primitive imagination.
Fake muslim Islamic reject
We got a weird lunatic here. He loves to read Dante.
Thought you were on team. Two debiles with slightly different starting points.
Lmao good to see this seething turkroach is still active on SF. I don’t know why this untermensch is so emotionally invested in Ukropstan but I suppose it doesn’t really matter, since Ukropstan will cease to exist soon, regardless of all this turkroach copium.
The small hats want to set up shop in Crimea. Israel has become Isra-hell.
just because you want a missil in your anus and make a party!! ( if you want to win putin take a cold shower in the anus ) !!!! stupid slave !!!
You’re not a very smart man.
In your dreams you sick pedo. You’d love that wouldn’t you, but if putin dies i guarantee you all of russia will mobilise to crush that disgusting nazified nato rump state puppet. No matter what you heard on bbc and cnn u demented delusional twat and msm zombie, the vast majority of Russians ❤️ their amazing president!!!!
Propaganda is in support of the battle field operations. It is not where the actual battle is won. Maybe hard to understand for your brainwashed zionist mind.
Make cash on-line from home by posting puerile anti-Russian propaganda on alternative websites. I made enough to buy 3 cans of Red Bull, 2 snickers bars and a bag of jelly beans in less than a week. I reckon if I bunk off school I can earn enough to buy a pair of trainers by the end of the year.
say my name…! say it!
Change your name you are not worthy of using the prophets name you scumbag…
you should do the same, your lovely Ucrap Nazis are loosing big time.
Bye, bye Miss American Pie. (aka the cookie monster) Next time, try to pick a winner you neoconniving warthog..
Mr putin is the winner and he sit inside comfort rooms and and watch Captain America movie. The loser is Hitler with the condition is just like what you describes, most probably zelensky will be next like hitler also.
Small hats , small minds –
Hitler knew very well he was losing for a long tell. He did the self un alive when he realized he was going to lose and nothing would stop it. He did it rather than become a trophy for the Red Army.
Oh no….Kiev is winning. They strategically leave Eastern and Southern Ukraine in Russian hands in order to defeat pesky Russians. During the process they martyred 25% of their own most capable forces and 75% of available ordnance and by doing it they so utterly confuse Russians that these Muscovites will run in fear beyond Urals never to show up again. Ukrainians are smart and cunning people governed by the best of Jews.
Fake Muslim reject that hides in his troll corner wasting his time making useless comments. How much time do you waste everyday?
Of course Russia is winning and WILL win,but the Empire of lies have to push the nonsense that Russia must not be seen to win,even though they are,they may get the message when those Azov Apes are marched through Donetsk or Moscow on their way to a hanging or a Gulag.
But actually this presents always an easy way for Russia to come to a winning conclusion. Russia can take what it wants as long as it leaves a fairy tale for the west. It’s win win. So if Russia takes 99% of Ukraine then retreats to 98% with a narrative of driven back by the west – all is well in the west! It reminds me of the picture of old British folks sitting in a house with blankets around them trying to keep warm, behind them is a documentary about Russia on the TV with Russians sitting in saunas and after jumping into snow – the caption reads on a bubble coming from an old freezing British ladies mouth – we sure are teaching those Russians a lesson!

Competing world powers
It’s just as the bible said it many centuries ago. Predicted in Daniel chapter 11, the pull and tug of the King of the north and the king of the south. Two great powers on earth both under satanic influence have been battling for centuries, both have the same purpose and that’s world domination exclusive of God Jehovah’s sovereignty. Furthermore, they want people’s worship as Revelation 13 describes.
These two great powers will come to to an agreement of peace the bible prophecy predicts. When the political system thinks they have succeeded in enslaving mankind, the bible says:
” Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape. 4 But you, brothers, you are not in darkness, so that the day should overtake you as it would thieves, 5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We belong neither to night nor to darkness.” 1 thessallonians 5:3-5.
Satan the devil is behind this struggle of the great powers on earth. His plan is similar to the political system objective, ” rule or ruin”. Diabolical objective is to distract people from the real source of peace and good health, which is no other than God’s kingdom- Revelation 11, 13, and chapter 21.
The Universal issue is: ” who has the right to be rightful sovereign of the earth and universe”.
It’s not really about jabs from pfizer, it’s about total control of the Earth’s inhabitants in whatever means possible and strangle all aspiration and hope of God’s kingdom and it’s rightful ruler for the earth , Jesus Christ appointed by Jehovah God.
We need to pray for God’s kingdom to come soon and judge these beastly powers that disdain Jehovah’s appointed king in heaven, none else but Jesus Christ.
“Your will be done on earth as in heaven, your kingdom come.” Matthew 6.

The bible is like your head, full of shit, ya moron
No one bothers to read everything you write.
The beginning is enough to understand that there is something religiously weird and then hit downvote.
You are a Christian fundamentalist supporting Zionism which ISN’T a religion but a political organization .
Talmudian religion is satanic.
No it is not. It is full of love, but only for “chosen people” of mercyless god of theirs. Do not kill one of your own but having a license to kill for goyim. Maybe others should institute another religion which commands license to kill of “chosen people”? Just for the sake of balance.
Who was the king of the south? Would that have been South of Persia and Israel?
No actual nation is mentioned so perhaps it was an empire to the South?
Scott Ritter is also on telegram. He’s the one US Marine weapons inspector who said they were lying about WMD in Iraq.
President Eisenhower warned about the corruption happening in DC regarding what HE TERMED the “military industrial complex “.
Listen to his Farewell Address to the Nation.
President Eisenhower was behind the German Holocaust in which over one million German prisoners of war were starved to death.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_Losses
Correct. Whoever downvoted your statement of fact is either woefully ignorant or a liar.
He is correct. But one should also investigate the way Germans treated POWs on Eastern front. They did not starved them to death. They simply shot or hanged those untermensch. Do not do to other you do not want them do to you. There ya go! However, it was not preached to them at national-socialist classes. Maybe it should.
Guys, Russia will not negociate with nobody, this is not only about clean Ukrajina.
and how many nazis dye of covid in a hole taken in the anus so much ??? i would love to see the prostipute queen of the nazis taken cold baths to fo ke putin !!! but the slaves take in the anus and like it !!!!

Russia is forced to sell its oil now 30% cheaper price than Brent oil. Before the war the gap was just 1-2%. China and India say thank you and will have huge economic advantage compared to US and EU.
https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Russian-Oil-Sells-At-Huge-Discounts.html
Nowhere does it say that Russia is forced!
It says that Russia sells cheaper.
It is well done by Russia. It will benefit friendly country and people.
It will increase prosperity and make countries better equipped in the competition to produce goods.
If it lasts a long time, the West will experience it with unemployment to follow.
You can find an article from the same website that clearly shows Russian oil and gas revenue is hitting records each month. We are barely through a quarter of the year when this report was published and Russia’s federal budget had received 50% of the planned oil and gas revenue for the entire year. China and India are thankful for the oil and gas, but your comments make it seem like a predatory profit off Russia. The sanctions have made any discount to the oil prices remain extremely profitable for Russia and only applies to previous norms in prices. This is understandable though as the Western news sources are full of propaganda, I’m not sure what they’re teaching up at the big business schools but that would explain the inflation and gas prices. It is normal to see Westerners with these delusions though, outside a handful of math and science programs the education system is kaput and you can always find some McDonald’s burger flippers that have never been able to afford the investment markets making outrageous claims. The top graduates of these schools are also groomed into the social media sphere and spend their lives toiling on software that will never help their country advance in things that matter – the focus on social media and the ‘metaverse’ is disgusting compared to focusing on development and the common good in real life. Bloomberg and Sleepy Joe even claim that USA will grow faster than China in 2022 despite the fact that in Q1 China’s economy expanded slightly less than planned while running Zero COVID policy and the US economy contracted being wide open. The situation with oil prices shows that Russia is in control of the situation and is supporting a burgeoning new economic block while deploying combat forces on two fronts.
Elgar does not get it. CNN “competent experts” told him otherwise and he is just relaying their gospel.
Yes, 30% lower than the brent but still 25% higher than usual, energy prices having exploded
And who is the first victim of this price explosion ?I don’t think that’s Russia
By the way Russia sells at 80$/baril right now, according to FMI they’re good if the price stays above 30-40$, seems like a pretty good margin to me
boring
Russian oil is being sold as Brent oil with an enormous mark up, qui bono?
Excellent as rise of India and China is very wellcome for multipolar world and a sand into machine of new world order of anglo-jewish-german scumbags.
western media or state anas ( santanas ) parazite of slaves !!! dumbst trip of stupid gay lgtbs covidiotic nazi with a flag of nazis in the anus !!!
they Win so much that they need a dictator of parazites to control their one anus full of sheizen !!!
I think SF should just turn off the comments section. That would just be great, as you’re only asking for trolls.
Bend Over and you get what you want. Then there will be censorship similar to that in the western media.
I’m not a troll.
Are you a troll?
Moral of the story?
Most of us here aren’t trolls.
Shutting down the comments section would be a win for our devoted enemies, certainly not for those of us primarily interested in sorting the facts from the multitude of false narratives we’re forced to endure because our world is controlled by degenerate madmen and madwomen and administered by thieves and liars handsomely paid to destroy everything they touch.
You guys are the best!
I spent 2 days on twitter and noticed how full of copium and delusion it is
If you go there you would think ukrainians are in moscow by now
The Ukrainian victory is mentioned in my country’s state channel and all politicians fight to be the best in settling Ukrainian refugees and giving treatment to wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
We have a housing shortage and hospital queues for my country’s population and now Ukrainians must be given priority.
Is madness put in system.
crazy, what country?
@ Southfront you should know that Vineyard of The Saker
has deeleted all links to you. So i would not promote him
if i were you. Since he stopped doing it to you.
The objectives of Special Operation “Z” are clearly defined and will be a triumph despite some casualties. The Ukranazis will go to hell!
The British have always sought to destroy the United States of America. This commitment goes back to the French and Indian Wars long before the Declaration of Independence proclaimed the young republics break from Britain’s imperial grip. Look at just how the British Empire has always played one against another or many against the one. It’s the old “gang-countergang” method. So by influencing the US to confront China and Russia as a falsely perceived threat to the dysfunctional “rules based order”, the new Global Britain can now hope to destroy not only Russia and China but the US itself in doing the dirty work for them.
They’re sending them DANISH ANTI-SHIP MISSILES! The war’s over now. Pack it in Russkies.
Once Jens’ country get involved, you know something big is going down.
I shouldn’t pick on the nation of Denmark. I’m part Danish myself. I’m sure they have many talented competent people.
But I don’t think their weapons will change the war.
Who will operate them? AFU is running out of cannon fodder quickly. Maybe NATO personell will be required for them. I also do not see how those missiles can change the outcome of the war.
As a member of the west—- I DO NOT smoke, eat, snort, or inject hopium. I’m an American patriot who happens to know the Russians are actually doing the west a favor by shattering the idiotic notion that NATO is invincible or even has a reason to exist! Americans should celebrate May 9th as a victory’s against Nazis. And we should thank President Putin for his patience with our slow leaders. Finish off the Nazis!
Russonazis will lose in the end. Sadly substantial part of Ukraine shall be destroyed and many people have been and still will be killed, tortured, raped and executed by the barbaric russonazi hordes until this happens.
Muscovites are a shame and a stain in our Slavic family.
another stupid nazi troll. your Azov nazi hordes are already captured and will be exectued, stupid Nazi troll. You are just so rediculously stupid. The Ucrap Nazis are uncivilised barbars and they proove it every day. Stupid post, stupid Nazi, supid Banderite.
Slavic family…LOL. And you’re the black sheep, I take it?
Should’ve taken Russia seriously when they said it’s time to have a little talk about Russia’s legitimate security interests instead of feeding it a decades long stream of bullshit.
Mistakes have consequences. Live and learn.
Desperate no lifer troll
Omg…isn´t the author the guy who told us, that russia will TOTALY not invade Ukraine ?
https://southfront.org/russia-has-no-intention-of-invading-ukraine/
About as seriously as the guy who said Ukraine will TOTALLY not invade the Donbass Republics.
How could they? Ukraine promised to meet the letter of the law when it came to the Minsk agreement and UNSC Res. 2202.
They promised, they did. They did. Anyway, I’m pretty sure they did. Well, OK…maybe they signed it with lemon juice. Anyway, what’s a promise if not someone’s hangover anyway? Besides, who would’ve noticed if they sort of decided they weren’t even there, must have been a mixup.
The idea is to destabize Ukrainium and move millions of them out. That’s the point Theure not allowed to get caught, always have to pretend to be doing something else
“Nothing is what it SEEMS”QE2.NOTHING !
These big tech scumbags won’t allow me to Tweet this.
The West thought this war and the sanctions would collapse the Russian economy. What they got instead was a collapsed petrodollar.
Yep, they sure started the wheels in motion but forgot to add a steering wheel …or brakes… or a reverse gear… or an ejection seat.
Hopium + Copium + Dopium = a lethal mix.
The West is slowly waking up to the smell of coffee. After a good cup or two to stimulate the old brain cells, they decided to read the coffee grounds to see what fate may have in store.
What did the coffee grounds reveal, you ask? Ukraine kaput!
Great article, thanks and for the other links too. Got a few but not these but SF.
As for “Muleham your clown” below. He just a asshole paid for troll bitch of George Soro’s or someone like him.
His tweet are nothing but a sad attempt to anger anyone and to get them into a argument keeping them from reading the real comments here.
Best bet since we can’t shoot him. Is don’t even brother reading his crap at all, give him a red mark to agreed he is a nobody loser. Skip what he wrote and move on to the real comments. That what I do after learning what he really is. A piss poor excuse of a man with no integrity or honor.
