Reinforcements to the breach in the Donets.
Maxxar has the bridges on sight.
A fake victory in an area Russian troops have yet to reach.
Mariupol is being systematically cleared. Port section will likely be last to fall.
Zelensky knows he is running out of fuel and time to get the Farmers out planting. He is also losing tax revenue and recruits from the millions of refugees fleeing across the border or under Russian occupation. With the Azov Seaports gone, Kherson gone, and Mykolaiv and Odessa blockaded, he can't export his country's goods and the land routes can either carry military supplies or civilian goods to keep the economy functioning, they can't do both. This war is just as much socioeconomic as it is military-political.
But there will be no end, Zelensky lost the chance for a Honorable Peace 2 weeks ago. Russia will go for De Bellatio. Either the UkA gives out or the Ukrainian Economy gives out, whichever goes first, the Russians win by default. Their occupation will not be gentle to any centers of resistance.
KGBstan could take part of Ukraine without problems,Biden allowed that.Now,they want all? fine,they would get it - after months if not years of fighting,and partisants would attack them as long as kgbstan uccupy their territory.
They need 10 years and 100.000 soldiers to conqer Czeczenya,which was not supported and have 1 million people.
For Ukraine they need 4milions of soldiers.
And yes,they are war cryminals ,so they would murder a lot of people there - but,they have no strenght and money for that.
P.S Honorable peace with Putin? dude do not knew what honour is.
City is pro-Russian and Azov ran a reign of terror in it, using civilians as human shields, torturing people, and shooting civilians trying to flee. The regular UkA forces are being shown quarter, Azov is being shown no quarter. Anyone found with Azov identifying marks is arrested and given a summary trial followed by swift execution.
Comrade, sad to hear about your leg. Here is a shiny medal.
Congratulation Comrades, you all get medals.
We see the site has been cleaned up a bit. But they punched their way in.
Oryx's work is peer reviewed. The peer reviewer notes most of these pictures are taken by civilians who are known for jumping on moving Russian Tanks and waving the Ukrainian Flag as a way of resistance which the Russians tolerate. There is no actual indication of capture, and he can only verify 2 as legitimately captured from what he looked at. We also know Russia has towed away large numbers of tanks and vehicles to repair depots and has contracted Ukrainian Farmers to help out, even placing Z marks on them. Hence the failed Molotov attack we all saw weeks ago.
Given the Chieftain has warned that careful editing can change the narrative, Oryx's list is simple unreliable without further vetting and the Unit Logs being opened.
It also tracks with what we hearing vs what we are actually seeing. Javelins and NLAWs were handed out to everyone strong enough to hoist them within UkA, but the Russians are capturing so many of them, that they are even handing them to their own troops and training on them. UkA videos show them using primarily RPG series and Soviet based ATGMs. Then there was the Deep Fake Prank Call on the UK's defense minister in which NLAW was discussed as being a POS.
1.Azow is made from cryminals? then your idols could not best cryminals for month.Such good soldiers they are.
Murdering prisoners? good for your idols,interesting how many ukrainians would surrender now.And how much it cost KGB.
2.Showing destroyed russian stuff is war on twitter,showing captured AT stuff by russian is great.great logic.
3.They captured HQ of marines in Mariunpol,and ccdescribed them as "elites" - which mean,that they were not.Well,let assume it is true - how long russian could not defeat them?
How the crossing was secured from one end.
Failed UkA counter-attack.
Replenished V units (Western Kyiv Front) on the counter-attack. Jomini's assessment of their combat ineffectiveness was incorrect. Then again he fell into the trap of thinking Kyiv was the main objective instead of a Double Feint and thinking its easy to overrun troops willing to slug it out and not be called coward.
My respect for the UkA is high. They stand for something, a leader willing to martyr his country, but they stand for it. I can respect that. It won't save them or their country. And the longer they struggle, the less chance there can be a successful resistance. But that is their choice.
So,Ukrainian attack are failed,when kgbstan is winning.GREAT,why they do not win yet?
And you respect ukrainian,but they should surrender becouse...why exactly? kgbstan is ruled by psychos who are OK with genociding people - but,there is 40 millions of people,not 1 like in Czeczenya.
Putin have no enough soldiers and money to occupy Ukraina,or even genocide them without using A bombs.It is matter of time till one of his KGB friends would kill him,so they could wait.
Last one, "Looks at the Admin with begging eyes to increase the media limit per post"
A reminder that the bulk of convoys get through and most UkA Ambushes fail.
General DPR and LPR advance in Donbass.
If anyone was in those fortifications which appear to have taken direct hits, their bodies were disintegrated.
Comrades, avoid foul language. That said, this is basically it. Mariupol is effectively captured. Mopping up is the name of the game from here on out.
So,russians are advancing,and ukrainians are falling.Great.And Mi8 is enough to defend convoys.Interesting,did you hear about MANPADS?
Azow HQ captured - how many times russian did so till now? those people would still fight,becouse they knew they could not surrender.Thse soldiers who have brains and knew what gulag is would do the same.
If your idols have brains,they would do what soviets did in 1939 in Poland - pretend,that they let them go home,and later kill or send to gulags.
Apparently Putin is unable to copy his idol Sralin.
