  2. 2439 fighters from the elite Nazi Ukrainian units surrendered in Mariupol in the last couple of days. 1357 surrendered there before this instance. 16500 Ukrainian fighters were killed only in and around this town. It's a tremendous blow to an already low morale of Ukrainian troops. Probably Russians will get 40 billion of American weapons eventually (85 billion of weapons left to Taliban wasn't enough for Biden). “Always gift your billion-dollar military equipment to your enemy. Nothing fights hyperinflation better than this… ": Joe Tzu aka China Joe, Art of Dementia

  3. The war is lost by Ukraine. Before the latest offensive that proved to be an epic unmitigated disaster Zaluzhny said in The Economist interview: "I need 300 tanks, 600-700 ifvs, 500 Howitzers. Then, I think it is completely realistic to get to the lines of February 23rd. " He got what he was begging for, lost it along with 90 000 of hapless Ukrainian cannon fodder and there is nothing to show for it. Yeah, basically this war is a story how media hype obsessed Zelenskyy and his minions traded 450 000 lives of hapless Ukrainian cannon fodder for Russian artillery rounds . It was a mistake of a monumental proportion . Lloyd Austin came there with a nutty proposal to additionally forced conscript 17 and 70 year-olds plus certain categories of women. It's just nuts, even one Austrian artist in 1945 wasn't that crazy, at least he didn't forced conscript women.

  4. Yeah, it's a cumulative effect of an attrition strategy implemented by Russians. For a long time it seems nothing changes on the map, but then we see rapid collapse. "The main object of operations should not be the territory, but the enemy's army. If the army runs out, the territory will come by itself. " Helmut von Moltke Senior. This war proved once more that old Moltke was right. Zelenskyy troops in Pokrovsk area (Pokrovsk is a key logistical hub that Zelenskyy is about to lose) mostly consist of hapless cannon fodder kidnapped off the streets. They are totally disorganized and demoralized.

  5.  @markusmachel397  You still don't get it. It's a war of attrition. It's not about gaining more territory, it's about decimating Ukrainian army. This complete impotence of Ukrainian army is the result of a successful implementation of this attrition strategy.

  6. Zelenskyy sent all reserves even from the most vulnerable places to Avdiivka slaughterhouse. Of course, Russians will exploit this mistake. Avdiivka is Bakhmut 2.0. Even NYT noticed in desperation: "Some American officials say the fight in Bakhmut has become something of an obsession for Mr. Zelensky and his military leaders." Bakhmut was a slaughter which was entirely Zelenskyy folly as Stalingrad was entirely Hitler's folly . Zelenskyy just for media hype wasted on average 500 troops daily (total tally was at least 51 000 KIA) in Bakhmut meat grinder even when all escape routes came under Russian fire control and this debacle turned into a sheer slaughter of Ukrainian troops. But obsessed with Bakhmut Zelenskyy didn't stop even at that. Since May 20 when Russians took Bakhmut General Syrsky (Zelenskyy minion) launched wave after wave of suicidal counterattacks failing to retake a single village near Bakhmut (parts of villages Andriivka and Kleshiivka are still controlled by Russians and it's driving Zelenskyy nuts) while wasting thousands upon thousands of hapless Ukrainian conscripts. This ongoing obsessive lunacy that makes zero military sense is simply astounding. Avdiivka is another Zelenskyy obsession . Russians established fire control over all escape routes from Avdiivka. At this point it turned into a slaughter of Ukrainian troops which are sent to Avdiivka in huge numbers (yeah, Zelenskyy and his minions are that dumb even after Bakhmut debacle). Dnipro crossings are another example of Zelenskyy lunatic behavior. Just for media hype Ukrainian command got Ukrainian troops into a small fire sack on Russian bank. It keeps sending troops into this meat grinder without even bothering with the evacuation of the wounded. It's nuts. Zelenskyy is the gift that keeps on giving for Russians.

  7. Zelenskyy "achievements" to date: 500,000 Ukrainians are dead, 3x that mangled and crippled for life, half of Ukraine's population is living as refugees scattered all over Europe and Russia right now, they're drafting women because they've run out of men to kidnap off the streets, gyms and public transport. Even NYT wrote an article about these mass kidnappings ‘People Snatchers’: Ukraine’s Recruiters Use Harsh Tactics to Fill Ranks".

  8. It's BS. 1. NATO and EU membership is out of the question. 2. Any treaty with US is worthless. Only actions that are difficult to reverse really matter. That's why Putin demanded to dismantle NATO military infrastructure beyond 1997 line. It's difficult and time consuming to reverse. Ukraine after all kinds of treaties can be easily and quickly rearmed as was Hitler's Germany after 1933. 3. Russians would never leave their territory under Ukrainian occupation.

  9. Ukraine is doomed. Russians finally grasped that Ukraine is an inherently Nazi state and it will always be used by Russia's enemies against her.

  10. You don't get it. You can print dollars, but you can't print ammo. Western degraded industrial base simply can't cope with this war.

  11. Zelenskyy is just a puppet. The war is run by Jake Sullivan as a part of Biden reelection campaign. At this point this offensive makes zero military sense, moreover it's suicidal for Zelenskyy regime. I think Zelenskyy regime can't be even realistically propped up until the election.

  12. Vital Ukrainain positions are rapidly crumbling which will cause inevitable general collapse. Meanwhile Zelenskyy and his minion Syrsky keep sending their best troops and equipment to already failed Kursk misadventure where troops are outside of defensive positions and thus completely exposed to devastating Russian air, artillery and drone strikes. All this nutty premeditated slaughter is just for media hype as was in Krinki, Bakhmut and publicly announced failed Zelenskyy offensive in 2023.

  13. Russians are fighting a war of attrition. It's not about gaining more territory. It's about decimating Ukrainian army. In this case they established a fire control over all escape routes from Avdiivka. Everything else as usual will be done for Russians by Zelenskyy and his minions. They will send Ukrainian reserves into this trap, launch wave after wave of suicidal counterattacks trying to dislodge Russians from their positions slaughtering tens of thousands of hapless Ukrainian cannon fodder. Zelenskyy and his minions are incapable of learning from past blunders and their fatal media hype obsession and hubris will inevitably get the better of them. Bakhmut was a slaughter which was entirely Zelenskyy folly as Stalingrad was entirely Hitler's folly. Even NYT noticed in desperation: "Some American officials say the fight in Bakhmut has become something of an obsession for Mr. Zelensky and his military leaders." Avdiivka is Bakhmut 2.0.

  14. Negotiations will not succeed. Bingo!

  15. Biden administration is desperate and extremely dangerous in its panic mode. Russians made it abundantly clear that they will strike back military targets on NATO territory, if their territory is attacked with NATO long-range weapons.

  16.  @brianwesley28  The ship was empty, but it was damaged in the attack. Big explosion on the video was caused by a fuel depot exploding also hit by a missile.

  17. Russians finally took a commanding height (slag heap) in Avdiivka area. All escape routes are under Russian fire control. It's turning into Bakhmut 2.0. i.e. almost one-sided slaughter of Ukrainian troops. It makes zero military sense to keep Ukrainian troops in Avdiivka let alone send reinforcements there, but only for media hype Zelenskyy and his minions will do exactly that.

  18.  @montyalb8788  USSR retained a colossal industrial base. It produced 97% of weapons and ammunition it used in the war. Ukraine has zero industrial base and zero economy. It's totally dependent on handouts.

  19. @janbarto6362  You can watch it yourself. It's very dim and unclear as fake videos often are.

  20. It's BS as usual. Romania officially denied this another Zelenskyy lie. Meanwhile in reality Ukrainian army in its current dismal state proved to be completely impotent. Zelenskyy offensive is stuck. It hasn't reached even the first main line of Russian defense while suffering horrendous losses (outgoing general Milley who said otherwise was lying as usual). There is a lot of finger-pointing among Zelenskyy minions. Ukrainian defense minister and known grifter Reznikov was appointed a scapegoat for this another Zelenskyy debacle and forced to resign. Meanwhile Zelenskyy besides disabled without contagious diseases officially started to forced conscript people with AIDS and hepatitis . You can imagine what will happen to them and their fellow wounded soldiers in case of injury. Zelenskyy with his barbaric methods of forced conscription would put one Austrian artist to shame.

  21.  @JJ03330  1. It's a war. 2. It's highly likely that Russians will have to rebuild many cities on their new (or old depending how you look at it) territory up to Polish border. DC's sore losers just for spite want Russians to get smoldering ruins.

  22.  @arostwocents  Roman Shukhevych (SS officer (hauptmann) who was directly implicated in a mass extermination of jews and poles) is a national hero of Zelenskyy Ukraine. Multiple streets are named after him. Zelenskyy is quite fine with that. Moreover he didn't even apologize for his standing ovation for this Nazi in Canadian parliament, because it would upset multiple Nazis in his army (yeah, Nazis that are covered with Nazi tattoos, wear Nazi patches and paint swastikas on their tanks). There is also a bronze bust of Roman Shukhevych at the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. ... It was partly funded by Canadian taxpayers.

  23. Ukrainian command painted itself into a corner. At this point they can't retreat behind the Dnieper and organize a solid defense behind this natural barrier. Ukrainian army is in an extremely poor shape. If Ukrainian army starts retreating, it will eventually start running and will end up behind Polish border. On the other hand it's an almost one-sided slaughter. Ukrainian army is disintegrating. Different units even when threatened with lengthy sentences or summary executions for retreating, retreat anyway without saying a word to their neighbor units thus sealing these neighbor units fate. Western artillery is increasingly failing (NYT "Artillery Is Breaking in Ukraine. It’s Becoming a Problem for the Pentagon."), shell shortage is just catastrophic (The Telegraph "How the West lost the artillery shell race and what it means for Ukraine"). According to BBC Russians now have advantage in artillery 1:10 (previously it was 1:6 according to WaPo). Russians use more than 100 precision glide bombs every single day and Ukrainian army has zero defense against them. This catastrophic disparity in firepower is exacerbated by an incompetent at best (lunatic is a better word here) Ukrainian command (here is just an example of this astounding ongoing lunacy: NYT article "Ukrainian Marines on ‘Suicide Mission’ in Crossing the Dnipro River"). No wonder that Zelenskyy is running out of cannon fodder.

  24. Russians built several pontoon bridges. It's a small river, so it's not a problem. By leaving their defensive positions Ukrainians completely exposed themselves to Russian air-strikes and as they have to attack in large formations at this point it's a total disaster for Ukrainians. This lunacy will probably be the last straw that will break Zelenskyy regime back.

  25.  @lepetitroquet9410  You don't have a clue. Zelenskyy is running out of cannon fodder. It can't be relaced by Western allies. Russia isn't employing big arrow offensives to try to take large areas. As has been said, they are waging a war of attrition - incrementally and relentlessly grinding down the enemy. The war is lost by Ukraine.

  26. The third assault brigade (Azov) refused to fulfill suicide Syrsky orders (Bakhmut Zelenskyy/Syrsky lunacy all over again) and started running away from Avdiivka. Other units followed suit. They ran under Russian artillery fire and through mine fields with disastrous consequences. Around 500 wounded were left behind in Avdiivka. In any other army generals are court marshaled for such command. Syrsky wanted to turn Avdiivka in Bakhmut 2.0. Zelenskyy and his minions are simply incapable of learning from past blunders. Even NYT noticed in desperation: "Some American officials say the fight in Bakhmut has become something of an obsession for Mr. Zelensky and his military leaders." Bakhmut was a slaughter which was entirely Zelenskyy folly as Stalingrad was entirely Hitler's folly . Zelenskyy just for media hype wasted on average 500 troops daily (total tally was at least 51 000 KIA) in Bakhmut meat grinder even when all escape routes came under Russian fire control and this debacle turned into a sheer slaughter of Ukrainian troops.

This ongoing obsessive lunacy that makes zero military sense is simply astounding. Avdiivka is another Zelenskyy obsession. Russians established fire control over all escape routes from Avdiivka . Russians even mined escape routes. At this point it turned into a slaughter of Ukrainian troops which are sent to Avdiivka in huge numbers (yeah, Zelenskyy and his minions are that dumb even after Bakhmut debacle) . Dnipro crossings are another example of Zelenskyy lunatic behavior. Just for media hype Ukrainian command got Ukrainian troops into a small fire sack on Russian bank.

  27. Anybody who thinks that Russia will leave to stand even a tiny Ukraine even one square inch in size is crazy. Zelenskyy lunatic ramblings about nukes is not an exception but a rule among Bandera-Nazis who eventually inevitably get into power in any sort of Ukraine.

  28.  @mihajlozaric6957  I do. I live here. There is so much red tape that it's almost impossible to build a new factory. Labor cost is inflated to the sky. Nobody can guarantee that your investment will ever pay off. So all these ammo production plans are mostly pipe dream.

  32. ​ @Grokku.61  Robotyne (like Urozhaynoe and Staromoyorske) are under Russian fire control. It's a trap for hapless Ukrainian conscripts that will be inevitably sent there in droves again and again to plant stupid Ukrainian flags. These nutty Zelenskyy publicity stunts make it as easy for Russains as shooting fish in a barrel.

  33. @LuisAldamiz  Russians don't live in the LaLa land. They can't be more Arminian than Arminians or more Syrian than Syrians.

  34. It's usual Trump's bluster. Russians won't agree to any ceasefire. They know full well that negotiations would be dragging forever and ever and Ukraine would be rearmed meanwhile to attack them again.

  35. Dnipro crossings are another example of Zelenskyy lunatic behavior. Just for media hype Ukrainian command got Ukrainian troops into a small fire sack on Russian bank. It keeps sending troops into this meat grinder without even bothering with the evacuation of the wounded. It's nuts. According to Ukrainian soldier interviewed by BBC who was one of the few who managed to survive this hell on earth: “The entire river crossing is under constant fire. I've seen boats with my comrades on board just disappear into the water after being hit, lost forever to the Dnipro river. When we arrived on the [eastern] bank, the enemy were waiting. We were trapped - the roads and paths are all riddled with mines. No-one knows the goals. Many believe that the command simply abandoned us. The guys believe that our presence had more political than military significance. It's a total nightmare. A year ago, I wouldn't have said that, but now, sorry, I'm fed up. Everyone who wanted to volunteer for war came a long time ago - it's too hard now to tempt people with money. Now we're getting those who didn't manage to escape the draft. You'll laugh at this, but some of our marines can't even swim. There are guys who had spent just three weeks in training, and only managed to shoot a few times. I feel like I escaped from hell, but the guys who replaced us last time got into even more hell than us.”

  36. You are saying nonsense. Putin doesn't meddle in military command like Zelenskyy. Ukrainian numbers of Russian losses can't be taken seriously after their constant lies. Russians finally took a commanding height (slag heap) in Avdiivka area. All escape routes are under Russian fire control. It's turning into Bakhmut 2.0. i.e. almost one-sided slaughter of Ukrainian troops. It makes zero military sense to keep Ukrainian troops in Avdiivka let alone send reinforcements there, but only for media hype Zelenskyy and his minions will do exactly that.

  39.  @theodore6288  Ukrainian troops are completely exposed to Russian strikes outside of defensive positions. It was a suicidal operation.
