Update from Ukraine | Ruzzian Army and Wagners are blocked in Bakhmut and Avdiivka

Not sure what a “Ruzzian’ is and I’m pretty sure I’ve never met or talked to one, so I join you in your confusion.

However, every day I see article after article letting me know that Russia is being defeated, cannot last more than a few more days or weeks at most, their soldiers have all been killed, and Russian citizens refuse to join their military in the fight.

I’ve read stories that said they have no more equipment or ammunition so I then have hope that that they will be defeated and this war will soon be over. In addition I read stories informing me of Putin’s almost immediate demise due to his terminal illness and that soon one of his Generals will finish him off. I’ve heard those stories for approximately a year now and most of them(not any of them?) are ever proven true.

Our nation continues to send unaccountable tax-payer dollars to support Ukraine in a war that was supposed to be won and over with several months ago. All without a law passed by Congress authorizing our participation in this war. How long is this supposed to go on and how much money are we going to spend? Is there any limits to either?

In peace and war Ukraine is still functioning as a country whose only industry it seems is money laundering.

I agree Putin seems to be either near death, mildly ill or he's the picture of health. Seems to depend on one's perspective. I think you're right though. The Russians way over estimated not only what they saw as their strength and the Ukrainians weakness and they've been proven wrong on both counts. I could care less for either of these two thug regimes. Two scorpions in a bottle as I see it and yes I also agree that at some point Comrade Putin is going to have to step down for ''health reasons'' like you said , one of those Kremlin fat cats is going to see to it that Comrade Putin ends up room temperature at some point.

More propaganda and outright lies from you. (sigh)

Even your beloved NeoCon think-tank the Institute for the Study of War admits the Ukrainian army is losing ground in Bakhmit.

Read it and weap.

ISW: Wagner Group has likely taken industrial complex in Bakhmut

Kremlin-controlled private mercenary Wagner Group forces have likely taken the AZOM industrial complex in the northern part of the city of Bakhmut, the Institute for the Study of War said in its latest update.
According to the think-tank's assessment, Russian forces have advanced on another five percent of Bakhmut, located in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk Oblast, in the last seven days, and currently occupy roughly 65 percent of the city.
The ISW cited Russian military bloggers who "widely claimed on March 28 that Wagner fighters had captured the AZOM complex and are working to clear the area of remaining Ukrainian forces."
The bloggers' claims are "relatively consistent" with available geolocated footage that confirms Russia's presence at the complex that shows a military correspondent from the Russian state-controlled media outlet RIA Novosti with "apparent ease, " the ISW said.
Other Russian military bloggers claimed also on March 28 that Wagner fighters had advanced closer to Bakhmut's city center and taken control of the city market, the ISW wrote. These claims are also backed up by geolocated visual evidence of Wagner's advances toward the city center on March 28, according to the update.
The ISW assesses that "Wagner is likely working to consolidate gains in northern and central Bakhmut to push towards the city center and expand its zone of control into western Bakhmut."
The Wagner Group, founded and led by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin confidant Yevgeny Prigozhin, has been supporting the regular Russia army in its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, particularly in eastern Ukraine near Bakhmut and Avdiivka.

“More propaganda and outright lies from you.”

Wrong again. I do not post lies.

You need t o keep up. This has been known.
“Kremlin-controlled private mercenary Wagner Group forces have likely taken the AZOM industrial complex in the northern part of the city of Bakhmut.”

I weep for the murder of innocents.
I weep for your anger demonstrated through the animosity you show in your comments.

I weep for your anger demonstrated through the animosity you show in your comments.

You should focus more on your own soul, mired as it is in hate and bigotry, and not worry so much about mine.

Start with this: stop with the derogatory putdowns of the entire Russian ethnic group.

By the way, calling you out on your lies, misrepresentation and propaganda isn't a demonstration of "animosity", no matter how you spin it.

I notice there are several others who also see in you what I do, and take time to call you on it. I am sure there are many more who don't bother.

Correction: Ruzzia is NOT an ethnic slur.
