-snip- new satellite imagery revealed a huge convoy of Russian armour and artillery heading towards the under-siege areas of eastern Ukraine as both sides gear up for a brutal new phase of the war.
The images, taken by Maxar technologies late Friday and released early this morning, showed the eight-mile long convoy of weaponry snaking through the town of Velykyi Burluk.
The convoy was heading south through an arc of Russian-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine according to analysts, and is believed to be destined for the frontlines in the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk.
Russian forces withdrew from key positions around Kyiv last week in the face of bitter resistance from Ukraine's armed forces, and are thought to be regrouping for a major new offensive in the Donbas.
But the losses inflicted by Ukraine on Russia's army are so great that the Kremlin has resorted to recruiting retired military personnel to make up the numbers, according to the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The intelligence suggests that Vladimir Putin is turning to personnel who were discharged from military service as early as 2012 to replace his fallen soldiers, with Ukraine's armed forces putting the Russian death toll at close to 20,000.

More facts: the Western propo about the Russian goals, objectives and timeline ……have never been fact.
Never have so many making US policy known so little about their adversary. Those that do….are censored.
Keep cheering the Uke daily reports of a tank destroyed or an aircraft downed or more tons of NATO weapons promised, as evidence the Ukes are winning.

“Ukraine’s Army has been Defeated; all that is left is Mop-Up”
Larry C Johnson; veteran of the CIA and the State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism, claims the Ukrainian Army has been defeated up and all that’s left is “mop-up”. The veteran who provided training to the US Military’s Special Operations community for 24 years sat down with Mike Whitney to explain why.

Larry's been right but also he's been extraordinarily wrong.
I didn’t ask for a pic.
You argue like a lib.
“ The Number of the Day is now 45.”
Truth.

Russian media have claimed that dozens of NATO troops are trapped in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
"According to Russian media, attempts were being made to evacuate Westerners and Nazis from Mariupol, at the same time two helicopters were shot down, due to which NATO troops can no longer withdraw from the airspace.
According to media reports, dozens of NATO troops trapped in Mario Pool are asking Russian authorities for an opportunity to withdraw.
Russian media say NATO troops must enlist the help of Russian troops to withdraw, all Russian prisoners of war must be released in exchange for the withdrawal of NATO troops, the presence of NATO personnel in Mariupol has brought a turning point in the war."

NATO trapped.

I couldn’t agree more. They’re on the same side.
Unfortunately, there is an unexpected yarn shortage at People’s Revolutionary Mop Factory No. 42, so mops are in rather short supply just now.
I’m not arguing; you are. Get some rec time and relax.
Buzz-off.
They don’t have enough young men to fight like that.
Anything that is not Red Square propaganda is hateful.
You’re a no good NaziJewCommieFascist ninnymuggjn!
It certainly will be interesting to see who the foreigners are who are trapped there, assuming they surrender

I’ve run across a Bitchute channel giving the Ukraine war perspective from the Russian side.

No matter how you feel about Russia, Ukraine, Putin or Zelensky, it’s wise to consider the POV of the other side, if only to be more informed so that you can make better judgements.
Even an anti-Putin anti-invasion Ukraine supporter should see what is filling the TV screens back in Russia.
It’s nothing at all like the full-blast “Ukraine is winning, Russians are being wiped out, go Ukraine” propaganda we’re getting 24/7 in Europe and America, that is for sure.
See 32.
No, I’m not kidding. You tell me where I’m wrong.
Right. You’re blowing smoke up my kilt and telling me it’s windy while putting words in my mouth.
That’s some Class A liberal BS there.
Reevaluate.

Yeah, there ya go.
When you find that missile, use lots of lotion.
Soros is also an enemy of Russia/Putin. I stand by what I said.
