Retreat!
“Multiple Russian sources report that the Russian army surrendered another 15 square kilometers of #Kursk oblast to Ukraine, withdrawing its forces over the #Seym river and handing the village #Otruba to the Ukrainians (which might not yet be there).”

I usually don’t post photos and videos of the enemy, but yesterday I couldn’t resist and posted the destruction of the bridge across the Seim in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as an example to follow.
But before the air bomb struck the bridge, the bridge was fired upon by the M142 HIMARS MLRS. And I was amazed at the accuracy with which 4 missiles hit the bridge span.
Yes, they only damaged the span and the road surface, but our means of destruction are unlikely to be capable of this.
Cause? The largest deliberate deindustrialization of the country in world history, the deliberate destruction of thousands of defense enterprises, the deliberate destruction of fundamental and applied science.
It will take several decades to correct the current situation. But who will give them to us?
598,180 troops.
Cracking 600,000 on Monday’s report.
“Tomorrow 600,000. Only 400,000 to go.”
I’ve said it will take at least 1 million casualties for RuZZia...
Might get there in another 2 years or so.
President Harris will likely send lots of arms to Ukraine in the years ahead.
Did that sentence trigger the RuZZian Boys on FR??? Hahaha Hohoho.
THIS WAS A BAD IDEA. LETS DESTROY RUZZIA INSTEAD.
“Ukraine’s offensive derails secret efforts for partial cease-fire with Russia, officials say”
“The warring countries were set to hold indirect talks in Qatar on an agreement to halt strikes on energy and power infrastructure, according to officials.”
“Ukraine and Russia were set to send delegations to Doha this month to negotiate a landmark agreement halting strikes on energy and power infrastructure on both sides, diplomats and officials familiar with the discussions said, in what would have amounted to a partial cease-fire and offered a reprieve for both countries.
But the indirect talks, with the Qataris serving as mediators and meeting separately with the Ukrainian and Russian delegations, were derailed by Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Russia’s western Kursk region last week, according to the officials. The possible agreement and planned summit have not been previously reported.
For more than a year, Russia has pounded Ukraine’s power grid with a barrage of cruise missiles and drone strikes, causing irreparable damage to power stations and rolling blackouts across the country. Meanwhile, Ukraine has struck Russia’s oil facilities with long-range drone attacks that have set ablaze refineries, depots and reservoirs, reducing Moscow’s oil refining by an estimated 15 percent and raising gas prices around the world.
Some involved in the negotiations hoped they could lead to a more comprehensive agreement to end the war, according to the officials who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive diplomacy.”
Nice. Very Nice.
“Crazy footage shows a brilliantly planned evacuation of Ukrainian fighters and destruction of the enemy in Pokrovsk direction. The Russians came very close, but after accurate hits by artillery, the crew of the 47th Brigade’s Bradley IFV saved the lives of the soldiers by firing at the tree line.”

Another splendid day in America.
“Another column of 3 tanks, 23 armored vehicles and 1 buggy tried to attack the positions of the glorious 79th brigade in the Kurakhovo direction, but was destroyed.”

How dare Ukraine fight back!
Russian territory would have been a bargaining chip in negotiations. Ukraine would have insisted on significant concessions in return for withdrawing from captured Russian territory. This shows that Russia wasn't serious about negotiating, and just wanted to impose their terms.
RuZZia and RuZZian Boys on FR want peace talks badly.
Ramzan Kadyrov said that he received the Cybertruck from Elon Musk. A large-caliber machine gun was installed on it in Chechnya. Kadyrov himself drove the car around Grozny and admitted that he “literally fell in love” with it. The head of Chechnya wrote that “the cybertruck will soon be sent to the SVO zone.” Neither Musk nor Tesla confirmed the transfer of the electric car to Kadyrov. The car can be purchased in Russia through intermediaries for more than 20 million rubles.

Germany is going to used seized RuZZian assets instead.
Every man for himself.
