Fierce fighting continues in the area south of Izyum along the entire perimeter of the Russian bridgehead. There are tactical advances of the Russian and DPR Armed Forces almost everywhere.
According to available reports, the fiercest fighting is taking place on the right flank of the offensive, near the village of Velyka Kamyshevakha, as well as at the “cutting edge” of the offensive, in the centre of the bridgehead, near the village of Novaya Dmytrivka. After capturing Novaya Dmitrovka, the Russian troops will approach directly to the Barvenkovo-Slaviansk highway and threaten to cut it off.
The fighting is continuous in character. The AFU has enough manpower to prevent Russian troops from making a deep breakthrough anywhere, despite the lengthening of the front line in this area.
At the same time, the Ukrainian armed forces continue to pull back their units from the remaining bridgehead on the left bank of the Seversky Donets – from the Liman-Yampil area and the Severodonetsk salient, retaining their most advanced positions to the east between Severodonetsk and Popasna, where fierce fighting continues.
It is likely that the AFU will soon leave Liman and withdraw its troops to reinforce the flanks of its grouping – near Barvenkovo and Sloviansk.
The Russian and DPR Armed Forces were unable to prevent this and encircle the AFU units.
On the whole, despite heavy losses, the AFU units are defending competently and persistently. The Ukrainian command staked on buying time and inflicting maximum losses on the advancing units of the Russian Armed Forces and the L/DPR.
The Russian troops ahead of them will face a huge and pre-prepared Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, which has been prepared for a prolonged defence. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will definitely not surrender it until the last opportunity, defending it as a “besieged fortress”. Military experts note that the fate of the remnants of the Mariupol garrison is very important in this connection. If they are freed or interned, the garrison of Sloviansk-Kramatorsk will defend just as long and hard.
In the south, near Gulyai Polje and Orekhovo, the situation is without significant change. The southern part of the “pincers” of the advancing Russian units has stalled.
Near Donetsk, in the central area, the situation is generally unchanged too. There is a calm in most areas. Intense fighting is taking place only in the area north of Avdeevka, where the DPR Armed Forces have had some tactical successes.
Overall, it is worth expecting that intense fighting in Donbass will continue for many weeks. This could allow the AFU to carry out wide maneuvering of its strategic reserves, which Kiev is now building up on the basis of both mobilized Ukrainian citizens and numerous units of NATO military personnel who arrive in Ukraine under the guise of foreign volunteers or mercenaries.
A particular threat exists for Transnistria. Around this small unrecognised republic, on the one side, the Polish, Romanian and Moldovan armed forces are concentrating thousands of troops, while on the other side the Ukrainian armed forces are deploying new units formed by foreigners, including Turkish nationalists from the far-right organisation Grey Wolves.
On 28 April, the Polish Defence Ministry announced that there would be intensive movement of convoys with equipment in the country’s north and east from 1 May until the end of the month due to “military exercises”.
Earlier, the Russian intelligence service stated that the Polish military’s priority “combat tasks” would include the gradual seizure of control over strategic facilities in western Ukraine.
Poland is in discussions with the US administration over an upcoming action to “reunite” with western Ukraine. According to Warsaw’s estimates, the entrenchment of the Polish military in western Ukraine is highly likely to split the country.
NATO countries have stepped up arms deliveries to Kiev, including heavy military equipment and advanced weaponry. The likelihood that the conflict in Ukraine will escalate into a full-scale direct and open war between NATO and Russia by the summer of 2022 is extremely high. Recent statements and actions of the US and EU leadership show that the decision to enter into a war with Russia soon is likely to have been made.

Turkish drones are attacking Russian oil depots and Turkish Nazis are killing Russians and Putin is selling arms to Erdogan the snake. Russians are drinking too much vodka to know what the hell is going on.
Indian TV and other networks are showing massive explosions in Moscow and several cars and apartments burning.
But I can’t find any(BBC, reuters, NYT, WP, RT, Sputnik, Bloomberg, Guardian)? Its impossible that local Moscow news are not reporting on this, or at least people living in Moscow on their social media. Still, SAS said that they will train UA for exactly for these kinds of attacks, so I won’t be surprised. If true, wonder what Putin will say hah.
Have we closed the cauldron yet?
I basically asked if someone can give me a link to the information, and here you are with obnoxious trolling.
Hey you changed your name.
Have you shut your tiny yap yet?
I like how this piece of shit and those like them would claim others are being trolls.
In time, Ukraine is finished militarily, just a matter of time.
Matter of time? Is it 2025 or 2029?

Good day rabbi Shlomo.
Hilarious! :-D
Bye bye rabbi Shlomo, https://www.google.com/search?q=massive+explosions+in+Moscow&rlz=1C1GCEA_enPT992PT992&oq=massive+explosions+in+Moscow&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160j33i22i29i30.2580j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
April 25 (Reuters) – Russia said on Monday it would investigate the cause of a large fire that erupted in the early hours of the morning at an oil storage facility in the city of Bryansk 154 km (96 miles) northeast of the border with Ukraine. So not in Moscow.
Even Stalin said: never give me the point of the situation from the point the vue of the ennemy, or second the enemy eyes. Pity he haven’t listen Sorge, but that don’t matters now anyway.
Stalin was a communist ape who hated Russian people. The entire communist party in Russia was an anti-Russian ideological movement.
Run by the grandparents of the neocons. Then when they lost Trotsky, they figured the US was easier pickings.
You are totally wrong on this. Even if he was an ideological communist he actually admired Russian culture people and history. It might sound strange but it was Stalin who reinstated the Orthodox Church and abolished the purges against religion that was followed by old school Bolsheviks prior to WW2. The revolutionists of 1920s were those who despised and killed the most people (not only Russians) in then USSR. Guess who they were and where they “worked”. Short answer jews in NKVD.
Bye bye rabbi Shlomo, you are a liar outside time, https://www.google.com/search?q=massive+explosions+in+Moscow&rlz=1C1GCEA_enPT992PT992&oq=massive+explosions+in+Moscow&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160j33i22i29i30.2580j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
James, go see if outside is raining, and try to walk with your feet, it’s useful.
Who is drinking too much Vodka? Must be yourself!
They have a servile asiatic mentality and cannot question the choices their leaders make.
Poland is joining the war, to compensate for huge losses of UA forces and destruction of western weapons in transit to Ukraine. This will make the war even more bloody, and keep Russia from ever attacking the west of Ukraine. This is a development between US and Poland, and not considered a NATO move.

Turks are supplying drones from their own military inventory and Erdogan boasted on how well they are doing and Russia is defenceless against them and Ukrainian have written a song on the Bayraktar drone.
Yeah I know xD It is reasonable that Erdogan and turkish websites will intensify on drone propaganda, since they want to sell them and they want the best possible marketing for that. I don’t see that turkish drones perform well, especially knowing that they all end shot down after dealing some damage that is very hard to confirm, and usually is exaggerated by Turkey again for marketing purposes.
Erdogshit and his family own the company that produces the bayraktar. Don’t believe anything they say
Russian passivity is now causing problems in Moscow as it was hit by 7 blasts two hours and and Erdogan gave an interview on Indian Zee TV boasting about how well Turkish Bayraktar drones are performing and Russians are defenceless. It is totally incredelous that Russia has not even bombed the command centers in Kiev which are manned by Turkish and NATO officers. This is now an open NATO war on Russia.
Ukrainian TB2 Bayraktar drone ‘bombed oil depots deep inside Russia’ Turkish sources say that Turkish-made armed drone hit the fuel storages in Russia’s Bryansk, breaching advanced air defences
A screengrab from footage on Indian TV showing the fuel depot fire in Bryansk, Russia on 25 April and Turkish operators flying the drones from Ukraine into Russia in a open act of war. Turkish military intelligence MIT is also recruiting and sending hundreds of Grey Wolf right-wing extremists to fight Russians in Ukraine under the command of Turkish and NATO officers.
A Turkish-supplied armed drone is believed to have been used by Ukraine to hit two oil depots well inside Russian territory on Monday, bringing the war behind the frontlines and embarrassing Russia’s air defences.
A person familiar with the incident told Middle East Eye that a Turkish-made TB2 Bayraktar was used in the attack that took place in Bryansk, a small city 370km south of Moscow.
Though Ukraine is believed to have been behind a similar helicopter attack on 1 April on a fuel depot in Belgorod, this latest raid was more significant because it succeeded in breaching Russia’s air defences and flying at least 150km deep into Russian territory.
Russian state media said a fire broke out at a civilian oil depot in Bryansk holding 10,000 tonnes of fuel. It reported a second fire at a military fuel depot holding 5,000 tonnes. The city is considered a logistics base for the Russian military’s war effort in Ukraine.
#Russia: Early today, 2 oil storage depots (Civil & Military) were hit by explosions & subsequent large fires in #Bryansk. Some fires continue 12+ hours later.
Whilst officially unconfirmed, info we have reliably received states that they were caused by UA TB-2 drone strikes. pic.twitter.com/o3F70FN0F5 — 🇺🇦 Ukraine Weapons Tracker (@UAWeapons) April 25, 2022
Stijn Mitzer, an arms expert who runs popular defence blog Oryx, told MEE that a TB2 Bayraktar’s use in the attack was plausible, despite a lack of footage released by Ukrainians.
“The reason that you don’t see footage is because Russia is still firing missiles at the bases from which the TB2s operate,” he said. “If they would post images, Russia would feel pressured to retaliate even harder.”
Russian reports indicated that Ukraine lost a TB2 the same day in Russia’s Kursk oblast after the fuel bombings in Bryansk, possibly while en route back to base.
“This raid was conducted deep into Russian airspace,” Mitzer said, adding that it was comparable to “the daring raids during World War II, infiltrating deep into enemy territory during the night.” Russia-Ukraine war: Turkey’s Bayraktar TB2 drones proving effective against Russian forces Read More »
According to Mitzer, even if Ukraine loses a TB2, as they have now, it’s more than worth the effort in terms of material and morale.
The source familiar with the Ukrainian raid also confirmed that a TB2 Bayraktar played a role in sinking the guided-missile carrier Moskva, the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, on 14 April.
“Ukraine’s anti-ship missile Neptune has some guiding issues. A TB2 Bayraktar must have resolved it by pinpointing the ship,” the source said.
Ukraine and Turkey have close defence industry cooperation, a relationship that has flourished in recent years. The TB2’s producer Baykar, which has close ties to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s family, was building a plant in Ukraine before the war.
Ukrainian companies also produce the TB2’s engines, and Turkey has sold more than 20 Bayraktars to Kyiv over the course of the past two years.
Frequent flights between Turkey and Poland over the last two months indicate that Turkey has continued to deliver TB2s and its MAM-L ammunition to Kyiv. Some experts believe six or 12 more TB2 have been delivered as agreed before the war.
TB2s have a proven track record of success against several adversaries in conflicts in Libya, Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh, yet they have never faced an army with sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities and state-of-the-art air defence systems until the Russian invasion in Ukraine.
So far they have proved themselves effective in combatting Russian troops deployed deep inside Ukrainian territory, even though Russia’s units have had advanced weaponry and air defence systems.
“Although we don’t have enough input to definitely assess the platform and munitions of choice, Ukraine hitting a critical logistics point in Russian territory is militarily critical,” Can Kasapoglu, director of defence at Istanbul-based think tank EDAM, told MEE.
“We saw that in Belgorod before, but this incident is definitely more serious. If confirmed as a Ukrainian strike, the attack would mark yet another blow to the Russian campaign.”
Exactly that
On the other hand, I have images of 25+ bayraktar drones shot down(which is whole Ukrainian stock + what Turkey gave them as bonus later), something that Oryx never reported due to its pro Ukraine bias(plus its a turkish site). Also, I don’t believe that strikes were done by drones, the whole story how mainland Russia is defenseless from drones is more than ridiculous. More plausible explanation is that strikes were done from the ground by SAS spec ops which are more than capable to do this, and then drone footage is made using GPT AI to demoralize RF. With the other points I agree 1000%.
Y como entran armamento en Rusia y hasta MOscu? En otros territorios menos importantes y fronterizos, quizas, pero en Moscu?
Some cars were torched in Moscow, nothing more.
I agree, just like when mum makes a cake and the kid puts it into the oven and says they made it.
So much about the best air defense in the world. LOL
No creo que un dron penetre tanto en territorio ruso sin ser derribado
Good afternoon, rabbi Shlomo.
Nothing new nothing surprising
If this happens, it will also very likely cost Ukraine more land. It’s not a secret that Poland has claims over certain territories in the west of Ukraine. So does Hungary and Slovakia..
Russian passivity and lack of clear cut objectives is now endangering Russia itself as Moscow has been hit. Russia must bring maximum destruction on Kiev and Lviv as a real message to NATO warmongers. It is now an open 40 NATO lapdogs and other puppets who are attacking Russia. No country can survive such an onslaught passively. Russian needs to at least drop a FOAB at the Zelensky puppet government offices. Destroying a few Soviet era Gaz trucks will not deter NATO which is now openly at war with Russia. It is high time to activate reserves and bomb Kiev into rubble and then see if the Jew clown Zelensky is still laughing.
Shlomo, go see if outside is raining.
what is the deep snoring nose putin still waiting for? mobilization stage 1, 2 million have russia in reserve, than 100% destruction of all bridges, roads and rails to the west and north in western ukraine, capture of odessa and land connection to transnistria and the whole thing is done in 4 weeks.
At the price of? Let me guess 1, 2 million people right? The only way to win this war is go total war mode much like what the US did to nazi fags in Drezden. No mercy, just pure unstoppable bombarding force upon enemy positions taking zero account of whatever civilians may be lurking around for no apparent Reason. That’s how wars are won.
Russians are known for being passive, slow to act, not learning lessons, keep doing something that doens’t work and being over confident.
You forgot arrogance the Russians in Moscow – an undoing failing of Russians, sadly 😢
Typical overhyped ruskies that believe that they are something much more than what meets the eye.
ESTO SE PONE SERIO Y QUE PASA SI MOSCU BOMBARDEA ALGUN PAIS DE LA OTAN COMO REPRESALIA POR LOS ATAQUES A TERRTORIO RUSO ATAQUES QUE NO FUERON REPRESALIADOS POR MOSCU PERO SEGURO ESTA EN EL DEBE Y VAN A QUERER REPRESALIAS PARA DEJAR EN CLARO ALGUNOS PUNTOS O LOS RUSOS QUEDARAN COMO EL NENE GORDITO DE LA ESCUELA AL QUE TODOS LE PUEDEN PEGAR !!!!
Then Poland should be struck
Russia said it WILL use tactical nukes to drive the Poles out…. Putin himself said that.
Well, he said they will use something very rapidly, but he didn’t express mentioned any tactical nukes.
That’s empty talk by an old man who has lost track of the events. Nothing that can be taken seriously especially now that Russian “superpower” status has been totally exposed.
Taking on half of the world and NATO with a nation trillions in debt, able to use worthless infinitesimal amounts of dollars to obtain massive amounts of weaponry, to bribe, to bribe others to harm and threaten, to steal to buy mercenaries, in this corrupt world, RUSSIA, under Putin is fighting for Russia’s survival. Of COURSE he will use nukes if it is necessary. And if anyone who took Putin on and aided the war against Russia were to complain, then they should know that they DESERVE the nuclear fallout. It is absolute imbecility and GREED and hubris that messes with nuclear powers. NATOS, US UK ABUSES of power will lead to nukes flying. And the worst instigators have the Hadron collider making them palatial bunkers underneath the ALPS and there are also palatial bunkers under the mountains in NZ.
Russia can’t make crazy threats no one believes to cover up losing the war. The only way out is to win fast before NATO moves in harder. That means mass mobilization of the reserves and over 500,000 troops moving into Ukraine with a mentality and clear orders to kill the enemy soldiers with no hesitation or pity. NATO couldn’t and wouldn’t try to do what Putin is trying to do with any less troops than that to begin with.
I have seen many sickening expressions of sympathy for Ukrainian soldiers from pro-war, Putin-simp Russians online. What is wrong with these people? A war means kill the enemy, period. Some kind of sick liberalism and faggotry has infected the mentality of many “Russian patriots.”
Exactly, war is just state sanctioned mass murder for the advancement of strategic interests. People die in war. If you pull the trigger so to speak on war, deaths should not matter.
Those must be the typical imbecile ruskies with the slave mentality or disguised ukropigs doing their online propaganda war things…both categories have zero reason for existence.
The people of this Earth want to live like Americans and Europeans. They don’t give a dime how corrupt the west is. There is no match for the west. They are overpowered. They have gained access to the most powerful weapon that ever existed. Which is no other than the human mind abd mentality. They know what people lust, want and would die for. That’s how they control masses and nobody ever questions them. They consider themselves the masters of Earth and put their “freedom” and values above your miserable life. What do we have on the other side? Russia is definitely a failed westernised (vassalized) country with zero prosperity that will never find the purpose of its existence. They have no ideology no future aims, nothing! They are weak poor incompetent and on the brick of collapse. That is why the West being the african dog it is, will try to chock Russia to death.
What a gay threat. Why not just win the war quickly by sending enough troops and resources to TAKE and HOLD Ukraine NOW? Nukes won’t save Russia if its leaders are too weak to fight a proxy war with NATO like it were WWII with full mobilization, unleashed firepower and clear objectives.
Putin has done a lot of trash talking in the past. Nobody can get this old man serious. His time is past due…Russia will continue without him
And once again Poland gets sucked into the world war vortex first. Ukraine is now a toilet with NATO swirling on down in ripcord fashion.
Poland is welcome to Western Ukraine. They may feign an affinity with Ukraine’s ultra-nationalists as a practical matter but they’ll never forget Volhynia. Let them denazify the west while Russia takes care of the east. The Gods of History must be satiated.
Besides, a Poland- Russia contact line is far easier to stabilize than the shifting sands of these fascist Banderite lunatics. If the US and Poland do have some secret agreement (which I doubt very much), that’d be the first intelligent move I’ve seen come out of Washington in decades.
I’m glad Poland’s gas has been cut off.
You think they wouldn’t attack just because Poles were there? They may not target them specifically, but if they saw a millitary threat and Poles were there, too bad for them.
POLONIA ESTA EN LA OTAN !!! NO ENTIENDO ESO !!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If Russia flattens Kiev as Indian generals have been advocating for two months now, the joke will be on NATO and will permanently wipe the evil smirk off the Jew rat Zelensky. Russia must take the velvet gloves off as the war is now reaching Moscow.
Russia should listen to Indian generals. Seriously. This politics of caressing Ukrainian balls is backfiring.
Putin is center-left liberal cuck who hates Russian nationalism.
Putin is the successor to Yeltsin. He is another westernised tool to “rule” the failed Russian state. Nothing more that that actually.
Boryspil is still fully functional with NATO airdrops, troops, dignitaries, coming in daily. Something doesn’t add up…
They cant even finish Mariupol.
only a fool would laught at that. Do you understand the consequences? use your brain. I actually fear, u shall too
halt die fresse
Take your medicine, it’s in the left hand drawer next to your butt plug.
Poland will be a perfect example for Russia to slap around and show the world NATO will do nothing when one of it’s members are attacked. Belarus would definitely jump in and Russia would free up two countries Ukraine and Poland in one move while the west stands the screaming with there lungs out of there mouths. Or if they are suicidal and want nukes to fly then they would not survive
You live in a fantasy world. They can’t even “liberate” Donbass, how can they even step on Poland?
The Donbas operation is not yet over give it a few weeks and Ukraine front lines will collapse
That’s the talk in the town for almost a year now.
That is because after the fall of the Soviet Union ruskies understood that they will never retain their former superpower glory. Stupid and weak they are, they understand that smart Westerners deceived them into braking their own country to pieces. From then on they tried to play smart as well and went all in, into strategic weapons and into maintaining a limited “well equipped” a la “expeditionary corps” style, domestic ground force. They are limited economically, demographically and any cally you might come up with. They know that. That’s why their doctrine states small scale nuclear war and expeditionary offensive on enemy. Well good luck with that…
Laughable. After Russia’s failure to take Ukraine after months and the massive retreat, Poland has little to fear. You can’t fight like a bitch and then make gay threats that no one believes. Putin will never use nukes if he won’t call up the reserves.
Take him to the sanctuary he is delusional…
Lucifer is with NATO
And Raphael is with who? Russia? When do we laugh?
Also, someone please explain why Russians work with Turk beasts in Syria?
its not like they have a choice, Turkey is blessed to have their country strategically placed on the map. They can even block Russia from getting out of the Black Sea if they wanted. :)
Also Putin is a cuck
Erdogan is a fool who is destroying his currency, inflation is now 61%
they are old friends
“The Russian troops ahead of them will face a huge and pre-prepared Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, which has been prepared for a prolonged defence. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will definitely not surrender it until the last opportunity, defending it as a “besieged fortress””
Well, that’s what thermobarics are for — and Russia has a lot of them.
no need for too many, a few АВБПМ should be enough.
Notice the Russians are always saying liberal stuff like “no need to do too much, only a little bombing enough.” Where does this mentality about how to fight a war comes from? TomB. is the kind of Russian fool who is making Russia lose this war.
5th column of the west in Russia has done an exceptional job at brainwashing peoples mind with liberal ideology.
Do you know what one would do used at night on the Ukies east front? The rest of the Ukies would see it for 150 km away. They spines would turn to pudding. They would form a line 50,000 long trying to surrender. It would be a very effective life saving tool for the Russian army
Russia never had the balls to use such weapons. Such weapons can only be used by the true powerful countries (US for example) who have the balls.
Russia should tell Zelensky forces to evacuate the area in 60 miles radius from the Russian forces before to attack. This will save lives both sides.
Just announce that Kiev has five days to evacuate all citizens from Kyiv. End of message. Let them think about what might be coming..
What is with the constant Russia talk about “give them one more warning to surrender or else.” They are not going to do it so stop making yourself look weak and shut up. Win on the battlefield and TAKE GROUND or SHUT UP.
For now this plan is definitely not going well.
B..B..B..But…That would be against the “international laws of humanitarian war” (which nobody else except Russia follows)!

Appearance is illusory, and only the fools are governed by it.
I said a long time ago that Polands intrest in Ukraine was a selfish one and the the Ukrainian people should Not trust polish politicians
Have some inside infos on that? Why not share it to us?
When an AFU position is obliterated by Russian artillery, the response from the delusional Ukrainian command is to send more men there, who are in turn obliterated.
Ukraine are losing more than a batallion strength per day like this.
They believe that they are buying time until the unicorns arrive to help, but in reality they are criminally wasting the lives of their men in a futile and lost cause.
Still preparing my Victory parade in Kiev must be ready for the 9th of may
Then why is there no Russian breakthrough? NATO can send unlimited men and weapons to Ukraine. America learned in Vietnam that “body counts” of enemy dead mean nothing. Only taking and holding ground can win a war.
if the russians hadn’t hung around in front of kiev for 4 weeks and lost thousands of men, dead and wounded, and lost dozens of tanks and armored personnel carriers in the process, these forces would have long since taken odessa to the west, advancing west out of the crimea, or at least surrounded it and created a land connection to transnistria.
Scott Ritter believes had those forces not been in Kiev then Ukraine would have reinforced in other areas, they were pinned down protecting the capital
Well then, why not ATTACK KIEV AND THE UKIE NAZI GOVERNMENT IN KIEV PROPERLY, instead of leaving all those men outside Kiev like sitting ducks, taking casualties and then retreating ignominiously???
Die CIA Spionage sollte wirksamer unterdrückt werden. Die hören die gesamte russ. Generalität ab und geben es den Ukro Nazis weiter. Kiew muss endlich bombardiert werden…
“Military experts note that the fate of the remnants of the Mariupol garrison is very important in this connection. If they are freed or interned, the garrison of Sloviansk-Kramatorsk will defend just as long and hard.” What does one have to do with the other? I don’t see the connection at all. What I see is a lot of Ukrainians surrendering. It is a lost cause no matter when the rats in the plant are flushed out.
Ukraine maybe holding on for now, but what happens when Russia burns through this last set of reserves?
How come we don’t see any internal opposition to Nazi Rule in any of these cities? Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, these are cities in the heart of the DPR. They know the Russians are coming, why no uprisings?
Mybe they fear Russian occupation more then the ‘Nazi regime’ #Bucha
Not at all. They’re too terrified of the Nazi occupiers to do anything but wait and hope.
If Russia burns all the enemy at the steel mill up NOW so they die fast, it will make them surrender faster next time. That’s obvious common sense and logical. By not killing them fast, it gives other enemy the idea that they can hold out and maybe be rescued in the end or at least live long enough to fight for long time and make it worth it. So he is right. The faster and more brutally you kill the damn enemy, the more they run away and surrender quickly in the next battle. Russia has lost all ability to inspire fear by fighting weak and slow.
Russia needs to KILL surrounded enemy soldiers FAST so the troops can be moved elsewhere ASAP. Speed is as important in war as it is in sports. Fighting a war slow is like ice skating slow in hockey.
The attitude of most Russian posters on here towards warfare is sickening and is disrespectful to war itself. War is about killing the enemy as fast and hard as you can over and over and over until the enemy is all dead or has made a total surrender. You never wait a day to give the enemy time to think about it, you just keep killing until you win.
STOP THE OBSESSION WITH SURRENDER, CEASE FIRES, NEGOTIATIONS AND CHIVALRY BULLSHIT AND KILL THE DAMN ENEMY FAST!
Russia needs to cut power to the Azovstal plant. Surely that’s possible. The Nazi cowards probably have backup generators, but no fuel. It would be humane to the civilians, and force everyone outside eventually.
Paul Craig Roberts agrees with your assessment. Says Russia’s kid gloves kind-hearted war will be their undoing.
I think we can begin to conclude that the Russian effort is under-resourced to the extent that a decisive victory for Russia is denied. Rather than destroy the organizational integrity of the Ukrainian Army, it is being weakened, but left intact and capable of reconstituting itself.
This is not a formula for Russian success, but for stalemate. The exact outcome the US is looking for.
I’m not sure what is motivating the unwillingness of Russia to mobilize sufficient forces to achieve it’s goals . The argument may be that time is on Russias side. But that seems like a gross miscalculation to me.
Well, perhaps in a week or 2, the whole Ukrainian position in Donbass will collapse ? Of course, none of us really know.
I felt the same frustrations with Russian timidity back at the beginning of the Donbass war. Russia sent no troops, Strelkov has to retreat, DPR lost huge territory, etc, etc. But the DPR/LPR militias fought like real champs. Especially the heroic battles of Debaltsevo.
“I’m not sure what is motivating the unwillingness of Russia to mobilize sufficient forces to achieve it’s goals .”
1. Putin’s stupid political calculations for “a negotiated peace with a not-completely-destroyed Ukrainian army and government after the war” (WITHOUT Russia having won a clear and decisive victory!)
2. The continued, nearly untouched, virtually uncombatted influence on Russian government policy of pro-Western liberal “fifth columnists”, so-called “Atlantic Integrationists”, and oligarchs who plan to PERSONALLY BENEFIT from Russia’s humiliation in war, entrenched among the political, financial and administrative ruling elites in Russia.
Putin might be in on the WEF
The US, UK, and EU economies are in collapse; it is the dynamic behind the war. They need a quick victory before their entire system collapses in total. The US at the beckon call of their British masters, are on the verge of self destruction. So you see the British are playing the US against the Russians when the US should be cooperating with Russia to respond to inevitable collapse of the British system. The British could care less about the human cost and the destruction of sovereign states.
Putin and Russia leadership, including General Command should take arms and go fight in front line. Those cause the mass and put Russia in danger, with their weaknesses and pleasing the West and NATO.
If Putin would recognize those 2 republics in 2014, the situation will be settle.
Lesson learned. Never trust the West.
Agree in theory, but in reality Russia was too weak at the time, economically and militarily.
“Military experts note that the fate of the remnants of the Mariupol garrison is very important in this connection. If they are freed or interned, the garrison of Sloviansk-Kramatorsk will defend just as long and hard.” I agree. I mean, those are hardcore genocidal criminals, nazis, murderers, terrorists in Azovstal and Russia is STILL trying to take them alive! At this point Ukis have no fear of Russia, they can cut off heads of Russian soldiers and then when they surrender be greeted with medicine and a warm meal from Russians… This lack of fear is not so good, Putin must realize Russia is fighting against terrorists who only understand the language of force.
Russians from Putin to the commenters on here want people to fear and obey Russia without having to earn it. Fundamentally, that’s the problem with this war.
This…. One of the best and most succinct comments I’ve seen anywhere so far.
It’s complicated. Ukrainians are fellow Slavic brothers of the Russians and vice-versa. Hard to kill them in cold blood. But, they’re now NATO/Western hypnotized terrorists, so Putin doesn’t have a choice…
“According to available reports, the fiercest fighting is taking place on the right flank of the offensive, near the village of Velyka Kamyshevakha, as well as at the “cutting edge” of the offensive, in the centre of the bridgehead, near the village of Novaya Dmytrivka. After capturing Novaya Dmitrovka, the Russian troops will approach directly to the Barvenkovo-Slaviansk highway and threaten to cut it off.”
Advancing in these narrow salients with vulnerable flanks is the mistake the Russian army cannot stop making. There is no progress in the south. Only more troops will win the war for Russia.
agree 100% 50k additional men pushing south to Slaviansk and another 25k to push north taking Popasnaya and they can then wipe out whats trapped. May not be the end but it would be damn close. 200k just will not get it done. It is strange to watch it play out. It has so many oddities.
What was Putin thinking, liberating leaches in the DPR and LPR, uniting NATO and boosting the US military complex. Are there no more strategic thinkers left in Russia?
Perhaps Andrei “Military Porno” Martyanov from U.S Deep South could give some boost to Russian military snail?
Fearce fighting around my granny’s outhouse. Shortage of toiletpaper.
My view of the development of the conflict is that it’s obvious that the UAF/NATO/JWO can’t stop the RAF advance. And that the pace of the RAF advance appears to be as much about avoiding RAF losses, collateral damage and capturing territory intact, as it is about defeating the UAF. If the RAF could capture the territory that it did in the first week of the war when the UAF was at full strength. Then it can capture territory at the same pace now, or faster if it wants. Now that the UAF has sustained large personnel and material losses. And the RAF losses are small by comparison.
As far as NATO entering the conflict. This is a matter semantics. Because NATO has been in the conflict for 8 years already. And is involved now in every aspect except for official regular uniformed military formations entering Ukraine. With heavy weapons and fighter aircraft. If NATO does “officially” enter the conflict with it’s own military units. They’ll probably get hit the minute that they cross the border. Regardless of whatever machinations they might attempt to use to justify intervention. They might even get hit preemptively outside of Ukraine depending on the circumstances.
And if they do enter Ukraine and get hit. What are they going to do about it? Hit the RAF back? That probably wouldn’t go well for them. Given their deficit in air defense systems capability compared to the RAF. Which will insure that they get hit with stand off weapons just like the UAF is to devastating effect. It wasn’t that long ago that the Iranian military hit a US base in Iraq, deliberately sparing a large death count. Russian strikes are unlikely to exercise similar restraint. Especially if NATO is attacking the RAF.
If NATO does try to enter western Ukraine. It’s not like the RAF has to fight all of the way from eastern Ukraine to meet an invading NATO force. The RAF also has the option of deploying a blocking force dropping down from western Belarus. And considering that Belarus runs all the way to Ukraine’s western border with Poland. The RAF could have a blocking force in place concurrently with any NATO attempt to enter western Ukraine. So not only would a NATO force have to deal with stand off weapons. They’d risk being confronted with a RAF heavy armored force with ample air support the minute that they step foot in Ukraine. Which is why it probably isn’t going to happen.
The Russian military hasn’t increased it’s presence in Transnistria that I’m aware of. So they’re evidently not worried enough about the situation there yet to send reinforcements. And there is undoubtedly military and foreign ministry diplomacy going on to deter an escalation there.
One kitchen captured by Russian forces. The snail is indeed advancing. I bet many toilet seats also looted and send to Russia.
Always around the same time. Take that as a hint!! More look-down air patrols. Frakking frak!
Strike bombers, once finished with deploying all their cruise and stand off missiles, should make it part of their mission that they return to base on a patrol route (assuming their radar supports look-down, which many do, like Su 34, Su 35, Mig 29) for active searching.
For any bombers that don’t have this look down ability (Tu 95? Su 24? Tu 22M??) with enough range and sensitivity, they need to get this capability upgraded soon! The egress part of the sortie should be productive as well. They should be hunting for objects while returning to base.
