“The enemy continues to shell Ukrainian settlements from the territory of russia...”
If Russia is shooting Ukranians from Russian territory, that certainly justifies Ukrainian shelling of military locations within Russia.
“What kind of ghoul wants more?”
The kind of ghoul who has already kidnapped thousands of Uke kids and taken them to Russia for reprogramming and indoctrination, also recognized as genocide against the Ukranian people.
If 95% disapprove of Mom’s threads, how come your’re the one making most of the negative comments. You keep making comments like someone who is being paid for their toil.
“tough finding “good” news as” so many of the world’s journalists are running off doing stories on Israel. A real horror story, thanks to Hamas and probable help from Iran and even Russia. Two weeks before the Hamas sneak attack, top Hamas leaders meet with officials in Moscow. I wonder why????
This is a very interesting report on cryptocurrency activities by Russia for criminals, a Hamas group and others. I was glad to see in another comment that funds coming from Russian money held in European banks are now beginning to be used to help Ukraine. I got the impression it was interest on those funds, not the funds themselves.
Please don’t waste your valuable time and energy responding to AVholes like these.
Yes, I am desperate for your types to find a heart and turn back into human beings. But I am not holding my breath! What a sad way to exist, as I would not call it living.
In the last minute of this Warthog video, a Russin woman is shown with translation below describing Putin’s effort to produce more cannon fodder by urging women to start having children at 19 so they can have families of 3 and 4 children. THe woman speaker tells of the need to plan more psychological services and help for women and families. I’ll be they are terrible now, which is why Russia has had the highest abortion rate in the world.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred ninety eighth day of the war.
Day 598: Oct 14
Today, there are a lot of updates from the Tokmak direction.
Here, Ukrainian forces continued expanding their bridgehead westward, and, according to the recently released geolocated footage, Ukrainians established control over multiple crucial trenches and fortifications and have almost pushed Russians from the hills back into the lowlands.
Ukrainian fighters from the 128 Assault Brigade released a video showing how they conducted a spectacular tank assault on a powerful Russian strong-point. The Ukrainian commanders developed a very clever tactic that allowed one small assault unit to breach hundreds of meters of complex trenches between multiple tree lines. Ukrainian analysts stated that the key to the success of this assault was picking the attack vector.
As you can see, the first part of the assault unit, namely, the tank, advanced to the left of the tree line, which means that more than half of the Russian troops could not open fire at the tank because 2 tree lines were obstructing the view.
Moreover, Ukrainians deployed a smokescreen on the other side of the route, creating a narrow corridor for advance. This way, the assault group completely isolated itself from any possible flank attack – the only threat is the front, however, this is what the tank is for.
The tank crew not only leveraged the front armor that shielded the assault unit behind but also continuously fired at the Russians in the trenches, not allowing the enemy to even raise his head. After the tank closed the distance, the Russians started running away. A few seconds later, a Ukrainian armored fighting vehicle with infantry arrived at the spot, and Ukrainians started clearing the trenches.
As the armored fighting vehicle opened supporting fire from a machine gun and the artillery started shelling the second part of the trench network, the Russians decided to run away altogether. A powerful strong-point was cleared without losses in a matter of minutes.
The Ukrainian General Staff and Tavriisk Group Commander Oleksandr Tarnavskyi also reported that Ukrainian forces improved their tactical positions west of Robotyne. Here, the main focus of Ukrainian forces became the remnants of the first line of defense that stretch toward Kopani through the fields.
Russian sources published videos of how they were striking Ukrainian soldiers inside the newly captured trenches with drones, indirectly confirming that Russians lost control over another trench network. Russian military analysts also vaguely confirmed that Ukrainian forces marginally advanced towards Kopani.
Moreover, some Ukrainian analysts claimed that Ukrainians pushed Russians from two big fields northeast of Kopani. So far, I have not encountered visual evidence of the fighting taking place along these tree lines, however, if this turns out to be true, then Russian forces virtually completely lost control over the hill between Robotyne and Kopani.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that this elevated platform gives a substantial tactical advantage. A consolidated control over this area will secure Ukrainian flanks in full.
In the meantime, Ukrainian reconnaissance teams detected Russian reconnaissance drone operators in the fields near Kutuzivka, which is around 25 km from the front. Interestingly, Ukrainian drones continued to supervise Russians and waited until they got back their drone.
Once the operators saw that the Russian drone was coming back, they gave the signal to the HIMARS crews to launch the rockets at the spot. The rockets arrived before the Russians managed to pack the drone and drive away.
Apart from hitting Kutuzivka, Ukrainian forces also conducted a HIMARS strike on the Russian bases in Tokmak. Russian sources reported that there were at least 4 explosions. Ukrainian analysts speculated the targets of the strike were warehouses with ammunition and equipment because, simultaneously, Russians suffered a sabotage attack in Melitopol.
The target of the sabotage attack became the railways that were used for supplying Russian forces in the region with fuel, ammunition, and equipment. The operation was carried out by the assets of Ukrainian Special Forces.

The Russia attack in Avdiivka is going slow well, they slowed it down and open new attacks in Kupiansk and Lyman. /s
For the last year Russia has shown limited ability to advance and hold beyond their lines. Their losses, largely from mines and artillery were far greater than Ukraines. They captured Bakhmut, which was not the decisive victory Russians and their allies claimed. The same holds for Avdiivka. If Russia eventually takes it, they will pay a huge price, and it will be a victory Russia will not any ability to capitalize on it.
Much of it is due to crappy logistics. They would have taken Kyiv on day 1 if they could get their supply issues worked out back then.
Cheering to see Russian soldiers surrendering or fleeing. Now if I just knew what part of Ukraine Carpathis was in.
9. Ukrainians need more AA missiles. Keep the planes at a distance and the ground dynamics change.
Draft dodger, heh. No wonder all his fellow trollclowns on FR follow suit, not a one of them volunteering to go die for their idol Dick Tator Zelensky.
Thanks, Mom!
Mom’s great. The liars are the Russia propagandists. I can’t understand all this hatred for Ukraine. I guess they’re not supposed to resist Russian aggressors.
