Ukraine Just LOCKED The Door 85,000 Russian Troops Are Now TRAPPED Forever
YouTube ^ | May 24, 2026 | Gen. Ben Hodges

Ukraine Just LOCKED The Door โ€” 85,000 Russian Troops Are Now TRAPPED Forever Ukraine has sealed off a critical escape route, leaving 85,000 Russian troops with nowhere to go. In this video, we break down exactly how Ukrainian forces executed this strategic move, what it means for the front lines, and whether Putin's army can survive what's coming next.

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ What We Cover: โœ… How Ukraine closed the last exit for Russian forces โœ… The military significance of trapping 85,000 troops โœ… Russia's desperate options โ€” and why none of them work โœ… What happens next on the eastern front

This is one of the most significant battlefield developments of the Ukraine-Russia war. With Russian troops stranded and Ukrainian forces tightening the encirclement, the pressure on Putin's military is reaching a breaking point. From Kupiansk to the latest Ukrainian counteroffensive operations, the momentum has clearly shifted.

Maybe not so odd.
The Ruskies are a problem because they have nukes, missiles and subs. The Ukes have proved their troops are just pop up targets with rifles.

The actual good news about the Ruskies is they don’t want to die in a nuclear holocaust.

The bad news is the CCP and Islam think that’s not such a bad idea.

Sure Jan.....last night Vlad took out the headquarters of Ukraine’s Land Forces Command and the building next to it ( along with much of Kiev’s command structure) the Support Forces Command. Video shows Footprints of the Oreshnik, no known defences.

People posting AI videos (unaware, I'll assume) is going to get worse and worse because of how content like Youtube is monetized.

Kind of sad to see it happening here.

Yeah, have to see more proof than this to assume this isn’t just the mirror-image of Douglas MacGregor’s pro-Russian propaganda.

It’s an old General Patton trick. Trap them, no escape route, send them all to hell.

At this point, I don’t see how tactical nukes are avoided.
