With all these so-called Ukraine victories you tout one would think that Russia would surrender.

In the south, missile and artillery units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a Russian motorboat that the invaders tried to use to redeploy their sabotage and reconnaissance group between the Dnipro River islands.
The Operational Command “South” stated this in its report published on Facebook.
“The missile and artillery units also eliminated 12 Russian soldiers, destroyed an Orlan-10 UAV and a multi-purpose towing vehicle for enemy artillery systems,” reads the report.
The situation in the command’s area of responsibility remains difficult but controlled.
“The enemy does not stop insidious shelling of the civilian population of the right-bank areas. Although the number of enemy attacks has decreased to 30 per day, the use of aircraft with dropping guided aerial bombs is becoming a planned tactic,” the Operational Command “South” reports.
In particular, in the evening, a pair of Russian Su-35 fighter jets struck Beryslav district of Kherson region with two aerial bombs, destroying residential and administrative buildings, outbuildings, and pipelines. No casualties were reported.
Putin doesn’t care!
The conflict would end if Putin would just stop the Russian Invasion. But, his legacy as Ivan the Terrible2 would be lost.
Inform for comparison with Putin:
“Ivan was the son of Vasili III, the Rurikid ruler of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. He was appointed grand prince after his father’s death, when he was three years old.
A group of reformers known as the “Chosen Council” united around the young Ivan, declaring him tsar (emperor) of all Rus’ in 1547 at the age of 16 and establishing the Tsardom of Russia with Moscow as the predominant state.
Ivan’s reign was characterised by Russia’s transformation from a medieval state to an empire under the tsar but at an IMMENSE COST to its people and its broader, long-term economy.
During his youth, he conquered the khanates of Kazan and Astrakhan. AFTER he had consolidated his power, Ivan rid himself of the advisers from the “Chosen Council” and triggered the Livonian War, which RAVAGED Russia and resulted in the loss of Livonia and Ingria but allowed him to establish GREATER AUTOCRATIC CONTROL over Russia’s nobility, which he violently purged with the Oprichnina. The later years of Ivan’s reign were marked by the Massacre of Novgorod and the burning of Moscow by Tatars.
Contemporary sources present disparate accounts of Ivan’s complex personality. He was described by some as intelligent and devout, but also prone to paranoia, rage, and episodic outbreaks of mental instability that increased with age.
In one fit of anger, he murdered his eldest son and heir, Ivan Ivanovich, and he might also have caused the miscarriage of the latter’s unborn child. This left his younger son, the politically ineffectual Feodor Ivanovich, to inherit the throne, a man whose rule and subsequent childless death led directly to the end of the Rurikid dynasty and the beginning of the Time of Troubles.” WIKI

The defenders shot down the enemy aircraft near the embattled Ukrainian-held town of Bakhmut around 1.30 a.m.
Ukrainian forces have now shot down a total of 306 Russian warplanes and 291 helicopters since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, according to the latest figures from the Ukrainian military’s General Staff.
This is how Ukraine prays...by burning churches and arresting clergy.

‘Pro-Moscow’ Monks Resist Zelensky’s Eviction From Ukraine Monastery

Monks have refused an order to leave a Kyiv monastery following accusations they had links to Russia, whose invasion of Ukraine has strained religious ties between the warring neighbors.
After Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) officially cut ties with the Moscow Patriarchate, whose primate, Patriarch Kirill has been accused of endorsing the war started by Vladimir Putin.
However, Kyiv believes the UOC is de facto dependent on Moscow and terminated the lease that allowed the monks to stay at monastery caves at Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which overlooks the Dnipro River and has a key role in both Ukrainian and Russian history.
The Ukrainian government had given an eviction deadline to monks at the ancient cave monastery. But Metropolitan Kliment, the head of the information and educational department of the UOC, told reporters the monks would not leave.
“There is no document that obliges us to leave the monastery today,” he said, according to a translation by news outlet Liga.net. “There are documents that SHOW THAT THE CONTRACT SHOULD EXPIRE on the 29th, but it is not written that it ends on the 29th.”
Metropolitan Pavlo, the director of the Lavra, last week called on the faithful to “defend this holy place with us.”
The Ukrainian government says the UOC broke tenancy agreements and constructed buildings illegally, which the church denies. More broadly, Kyiv also accuses the UOC of maintaining ties with the Russian Orthodox Church, which has supported Moscow’s invasion of its neighbor.
Its head, Patriarch Kirill, has been widely condemned internationally. Three days after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, he described Ukrainians defending their country as “forces of evil” in a stance which has caused a split in the Orthodox faith worldwide.
“If there are cases of corruption, we do not support it,” Onufriy told The Times of London.
Last week, the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights said it was concerned that “state actions against the UOC” could prove “discriminatory” and urged a “fair trial” for those facing criminal charges.
The latest development adds to the rancor within the Orthodox faith, which has been growing since conflict in Ukraine’s Donbas region started in 2014.
In comments to Newsweek to coincide with the first anniversary of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the Orthodox Public Affairs Committee (OPAC) renewed its condemnation of Patriarch Kirill and his “un-Christian support” of Putin’s war effort.
OPAC, a U.S.-based advocate for the global Orthodox church called on church leaders, clergy and the faithful of the Moscow Patriarchate “to resist Kirill’s slavish submission to the Putin regime.”
“The complicity of the Moscow Patriarchate’s leadership in the war crimes being perpetrated in Ukraine remains beyond comprehension,” OPAC’s statement last month said. “It is clear is that these so called “men of God” are under the control of Putin and his henchmen.”
OPAC has also called for unification talks between the UOC under Metropolitan Onufriy and the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine—another major Orthodox church in Ukraine—under Metropolitan Epiphanius.
This would establish “a unified national identity for the Orthodox Church in Ukraine,” and also give the UOC canonical standing, since their separation from the Moscow Patriarchate in May of 2022, OPAC added.
Protesters hold placards reading "Moscow shaman - get out of the Sacred Lavra!," left, and "Moscow priests - get out of Ukraine!," right, at the entrance to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv on March 28, 2023. The Ukrainian government has said monks, who are members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, must leave the site.

I’m guessing that there will be many more big booms by June.
First Nazi country in the history of the world with a JEWISH President. Great hat trick!! Haha.
“First Nazi country in the history of the world with a JEWISH President. Great hat trick!! Haha.”
You are EXACTLY correct!
Hard to imagine some Freepers don’t think independently... just close their eyes & become part of group-think to spread Putin propaganda.
The bitchute channel you got that video from is called "December1991", using this as its logo:
December, 26 1991 is when the Soviet Union formally dissolved.
The thumbnail is Russian styled iconography treating Putin as a saint.
That channel has uploaded over 2000 videos since the start of the year. No one run by one person can do that.
It only takes a few minutes to figure out that video is from a Russian propaganda channel created to support the invasion.
When others post news reports you accuse them of posting propaganda.
