Sumy has been liberated! Evidence has begun to circulate that Russian forces have also withdrawn completely from the Sumy Oblast, and now the Ukrainian flag flies boldly over the Ukrainian-Russo border there. The war has now shifted completely to the southeastern area of the country, and the Russians may be attempting to increase pressure on some of these key areas.

This is all evolving from the 8 year war in the Donbass region....and it's civil war.
You are one sick puppy. My wife is one of those Russian speakers from the Donbas (Alchevsk). Her family and friends have suffered greatly from the clandestine “separatists” invasion and Then from the all-February invasion. The proud Ukrainians in the Donbas speak Russian but are not Russians. It is so strange that you so flippantly dismiss Putin’s crimes.
In other words the Russians got thier asses kicked and withdrew.
Sumy and Kiev have been abandoned by the Russian. They can’t seem to close the deal on Mariupol.
It’s time to admit the Russians are getting their asses handed to them. They’ve accomplished nothing by this invasion but the blood hatred of them by Ukrainians.
I guess there’s not a lot to do in Germany, which would explain your incessant posting of stories championing Ukraine. Such a sad life you must lead. 😂
You learned this from the media, right? 😂
Have you ever been to Alchevsk?
Meanwhile, 500,000+ Illegals per month will cross our southern border. Another Los Angeles added in short order.
The remaining remnants of the Ukrainian Army (AKA Azov Battalion) left in Mariupol are holed up in the Azovstela steel factory where their snipers continue to try to kill civilians in Mariupol in between lobbing shells at the Russian Army. Hopefully they’ll meet their ignominious end there soon.
To be clear, the Russian invasion of the city of Sumy had already failed weeks ago. Russian had only managed to occupy some empty land surrounding Sumy. What is “liberated” is the last territory in the surrounding oblast, also named Sumy.
And that’s the primary reason why Ukraine is going to lose.
I can hardly believe that there might be fans of Ukraine in Alchevsk.
Yes, I’ve been to Alchevsk, Lugansk, Kharkov, and Kiev. I would like to go the Carpathian Mountains in the western part of Ukraine but haven’t made it there yet.
Russia wanted it. They just lost. They are going to end up settling for what they could have gotten without blood shed.
I’ve been the Alchevsk three times, in ‘05 to get married, ‘06, and again in ‘09. My wife was born and raised there to a Russian mother and a Ukrainian father. Her sentiments lean decidedly towards Russia though she wishes the war would end and worries of friends and family who remain (though her parents have passed away and her siblings moved to Russia some time ago). I was in Luhansk in ‘05 and ‘06 and flew in and out of Kiev all three times, necessitating overnight stays. I visited Sevastopol, Crimea in ‘13 and found it to be strongly pro-Russian.
Relatively few visit Sevastopol because much of it is in the Russian Navy protective zone. We had family on the other side of the Crimea near Yalta but they left after the green suits came.
We still have one relative and a few friends in Alchevsk but it is a factory town and the factories are just on maintenance and have been since early in the “People’s Republic” era. Tap water is available only two afternoons per week in our cousin’s part of town.
You’ve been saying that since Day 1. A month ago, your retort was “well, wait ‘til next month.” Next month is here... and your beloved Russians are getting slapped around in ways they... and you.. could never add up.
