Russian forces have made significant advances in a narrow corridor in eastern Ukraine as an offensive by Moscow to take territory before western military aid arrives appears to be gathering pace.
Footage posted by Kremlin military bloggers shows a Russian tricolour flying above the shattered village of Ocheretyne. Russian troops reportedly entered the territory on Sunday, north-west of the town of Avdiivka, after advancing about 5km in 10 days.
It comes as Ukraine’s foreign ministry said it was suspending consular services for military-age men living abroad, except for those heading back to Ukraine, in a move designed to increase conscription.
Its capture means Russia has managed to bypass the northern flank of Ukraine’s recently constructed forward line, including minefields and trenches.

Ten days to go three miles?

They’re not rushing. They’re destroying NATO capability as they go.
America’s garbage establishment’s plan is to steal as much of our taxpayer money as they can before the Ukraine collapses.
500 meters a day!
Winning!

It’s WW1 replayed, this time in miniature. And it’s just as senseless. Christians killing each other over minor grievances that were allowed to escalate.
And yet Ukraine needs $61 billion to counter that...
It’s a shame the aid was delayed, and Trump is right, Germany in particular dragged it’s feet.
No breakouts and blitzkriegs, it appears.Closer to World War I than World War II tactically.
80% of the dollars stay in the USA.
Sounds like the reporting from the battlefields of World War One with a celebration of moving some 5km (two miles) after over two years of war.
Why should I go out duck-hunting when the ducks keeping coming into my backyard?
“They’re destroying NATO capability as they go.”
A Russian joke from 2021:
“Hey, Yuri, did you hear we’re at war with NATO!”
“Astounding, Ivan, how are we doing?”
“We’ve lost 80,000 men, the storied 1st Guards Tank Army has been wiped out, more than 1,000 of our latest tanks are burned out hulks, we have to get old T62s out of storage to stay in the war, we’ve lost more generals in war than any nation ever, our flag ship is at the bottom of the Black Sea, we’re losing airbases hundreds of kilometers behind lines, land it took us 3 months to take was taken back from us in 3 days, our fleet has retreated from Sevastopol, and we can’t come within 300 kilometers of Ukraine’s coast without getting one of our few remaining warships blown up!”
“That’s terrible, Ivan! How is NATO doing?”
“Oh, they haven’t even started to fight.”
As "campaign contributions".
Wait 10-15 more minutes and UMCMom will be on spewing how Ukraine is kicking Russian ass all the way back to Moscow.
It’s a war of attrition. Ain’t NOTHING going to move fast.
Now that the $60billion is in the bank, MSM can report bad news about Ukraine.
I may have missed it but over the last couple of weeks I’ve not seen one of her posts where she starts the conversation and has the first 20 replies, what’s happening
Quick, run some numbers, they’re on to use, the rat faced money changers going to catching the last chopper out of Kiev, good thing they’re dual citizens !
