KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – The Ukrainian village of Ocheretyne has been battered by fighting, drone footage obtained by The Associated Press shows. The village has been a target for Russian forces in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.

Russian troops have been advancing in the area, pounding Kyiv’s depleted, ammunition-deprived forces with artillery, drones and bombs. Ukraine’s military has acknowledged the Russians have gained a “foothold” in Ocheretyne, which had a population of about 3,000 before the war, but says that fighting continues.

“...Ukrainian Village Battered...”

I wish it were Washington DC getting battered to smithereens. If ever there was a city that deserves the Dresden treatment, it’s that filthy evil scum city. /spit

Time for the Euro-Reich to step in and stop the battering.

Macron, Stolenberg, Sholz...Bueller?

The media cannot be trusted in anything.

Why are there no AP reporters embedded with Ukraine military units as was done in Iraq? Rather than parrot whatever comes from the Zelensky gov’t.

I say Zelensky gov’t rather than Ukraine gov’t because their election day was this past Sunday and no election was held.

Their constitution forbids them from holding elections under martial law.

There were some, but most of them were killed in artillery or missile strikes. The CNN reporter Clarissa Ward was with drawn because the danger was overwhelming.

Also, US forces are no longer embedding the press, as it was a disaster with reporters in Iraq announcing US battle plans for the day.

———-
St Z becomes an illegitimate President on May 21st…many sovereign nations are questioning the how and when the Marshall Law clause was “ inserted”. Many in Ukraine say the Rada ( their Congress was bought off) was corrupted.

His known corruption, his Nazi problems, refusal to negotiate ,etc….his troubles are mounting.

He will hopefully go the way of Mussolini.

I saw a graph of Ukraine’s population before the war and now.
It’s shocking, best adjective I can think of is “precipitous drop”.

“Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, on February 6 passed laws to extend martial law and military mobilization for another 90 days as Russia’s full-scale invasion nears the two-year mark. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on February 5 submitted to the Verkhovna Rada the drafts providing for the extension of the two measures from February 14, in line with the provisions of Ukraine’s constitution. This extension is the 10th time since February 24, 2022, ”

https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-parliament-extends-martial-law-mobilization/32807978.html

Everyone knows their Congress ( like ours is bought and paid for) is corrupted. The Martial Law can be suspended any time, especially for a few days to vote, they keep extending the clause because they know St Z wouldn’t win- despite what western MSM says.

….and the most important reason- the Western welfare money train would end.
Ukraine would cease being our 51st State.

Interesting that Rome and Paris survived World War 2 virtually untouched...while every Ukrainian town near the front line is being leveled.

I guess the difference was that REAL MEN ran World War 2.

The Zelensky regime has a Nazi problem, even our US Congress passed legislation against funding them, way back in 2018. …yes Johnny, there are many Nazis in the current Ukie government and military.

Vlad is correct when he stated one goal was to De-Nazify Ukraine, it will be accomplished.

“Congress bans arms to Ukraine militia linked to neo-Nazis
BY REBECCA KHEEL - 03/27/18 1:42 PM “

“…. The United States has been aiding and training Ukrainian forces in their fight against Russian-backed separatists since 2014, and recently expanded that aid to include arms. The omnibus includes about $620.7 million in aid for Ukraine, including $420.7 million in State Department and foreign operations funds and $200 million in Pentagon funds.
The Azov Battalion was founded in 2014, and its first commander was Andriy Biletsky, who previously headed the neo-Nazi group Patriot of Ukraine. Several members of the militia, which has been integrated into the Ukrainian National Guard, are self-avowed neo-Nazis…..”

Hopefully the current Ukrainian regime goes the way of the WW2 Nazis. Vlad is currently doing a fine job of hunting down the Neo-Nazi Brigades, flushing them from the government and military will be alittle trickier.

In desperation the Uke’s committed another Abrams to battle. It was promptly smoked.

refusal to negotiate

Are you unaware that it is Putin who refuses to negotiate with Zelensky and is calling for Ukraine's unconditional surrender?

More than a year and untold billions and this will soon end exactly as it would have.

Ukraine has a battalion that waves Nazi flags while Russia has invaded and seeks to subjugate another country, bombs its cities, and calls for its unconditional surrender. But we need to worry about a handful of extremists rather than the latter. Let us also be clear whom Putin claims are Nazis. It is not just the ones waving flags. It is any Ukrainian nationalist who resists Russian subjugation.
