“How many Ukie towns did Putin liberate today?”

Towns? liberate? Today?

Lets see, Russia claimed that they would take over Ukraine in three days back in 2022. It has been almost 4 years and over a million Russian casualties, Now and they are bogged down and unable to completely take Pokrovsk after over a year of fighting and losing tens of thousand casualties.

I saw an interesting video today of Colombian volunteers in the Ukraine Army mopping up Russian soldiers in Pokrovsk, and then other destruction of Russian vehicles approaching from the northeast of that city to try to resupply or rescue the 50 or so Russians now remaining trapped in the city. The supply column was totally destroyed. Interested to discover that Colombian and other South American soldiers are volunteers in the Ukraine Army. Makes up for the Cubans, Africans, Indians, and Norks fighting for Russia. At least one Indian wife has reported none of the $2,000 a month promised to her husband has ever arrived back in India and she no longer knows if he is alive.

I have learned Russian Assault on Ukraine has lasted Longer than Russia’s War against Germany during WW2.
