Russian troops were battling into a major Donbas city today as a confidential UK report revealed the Kremlin’s army could collapse amid massive losses.
A secretive analysis of the invasion says Russian President Vladimir Putin believes losses of 30,350 troops so far are a “price worth paying” for a small victory in Ukraine.
But the new report - seen by senior UK government officials and written by a top UK analyst on Russia warns Putin’s blood sacrifice may be a step too far for his troops.
Today Moscow’s troops entered the city of Sievierodonetsk sparking fierce fighting in the ruins of the latest concentration of Russian violence against its neighbour.

“The Russians are now achieving what successes they have mostly by means of a slogging match with repeated, very costly, infantry attacks reminiscent of 1945 not 2022.
Obsessed Putin apparently believes a Donbas victory is close but Russia’s advances are glacial compared to the speed the Kremlin had anticipated.]
Balderdash
Talk about the Shoe's on the other foot from Stalingrad.
Or not.
The incompetence of the “military experts” is astonishing. What is the difference between 1945 and 2020 according to their book? Did any of them participate in a war between industrialized nations, with hundreds of thousands troops involved over a front of 500 miles? And the narrative is coming from Milley and his flying monkeys, defeated by goat herders no less.
And Trump peed on a bed Obama used.
UK intelligence also said Putin may be dead.
He got better.
Excellent point.
If it does collapse, and they have nothing left to lose...
DM assumes Russia is a democratic country where public pressure influences policy.
Putin will grind out a victory cause that’s how he holds power.
“What is the difference between 1945 and 2020 according to their book?”
Normally in the world of 2020, one force would achieve air superiority, with precision munitions, which would in large part negate the need for the type of fighting we are seeing now. Especially if one of the forces involved is a so-called “super power”.
Your spot on.
If any of these geniuses want to see just how these barbarian tactics work, all they have to do is go back to the tactics of WW2...take a look and there they’d have it.
Both sides.
Let em kill each other off.
Oh and BTW. The guy I have been talking to over in Poland claims that in the initial Russian advance, they sent in prisoners that were offered pardons for their service.
I cant doubt that and, where/when the heck has that happened before?
Hell of a way to thin out the prison population if true.
Of course most of us know that a portion of the Ukrainian troops are criminals being that they were Bandera ideology supporters.
Who said it is not the case? There are obvious limits to all of the above of course.
Most of the heinous things you hear about the Russian military is actually to deflect the criticism from Ukrainian side for doing these things. There is no evidence of using criminals by the Russian military. Ukraine, to the contrary, released thousands of rapists and murderers and gave them arms. They are largely responsible for the atrocities in the Kiev area, the media attributes to the Russians.
Globohomo keeps acting like it controls the flow of information, yet it doesn’t.
Misinformation is Wining
Good Russky = dead Russky.
Should have nuked them when we had the bomb and they didn’t
More fairytales from the MSM. They’ve only been posting these Russia doom stories since 2/24/22.
If Russia continues to lose like this pretty soon they will control the whole country!
