Great, but expected. More disinfo. Out of Ukraine, in Africa! What’s this shovel full you’ve just posted then?!?! YOU posted they were LEAVING Ukraine for Africa. So much of your own BS you need a program to keep track of it.
How very kind of you.

Ukraine is working hard to put a brave, heroic face on a bad situation. While the battle over Bakhmut continues to dominate the attention of Western pundits and politicians, the war in Ukraine is raging in other locations, including Zaporozhye, Maryinka, Avdyevka, Petrovskoye and dozens of other cities and hamlets. Russia has ample supplies of men, tanks and ammunition. Ukraine does not. Russia is choosing to fight a war of attrition rather than large scale maneuver. I realize this is frustrating for those arm-chair generals longing for a General Patton to break out of hedge row country and go scampering across France. Apart from the whining complaints from Prigozhin, there is no sign of panic, fear or frustration on the Russian side. The essential question remains — how long can Ukraine hold out?
Ukraine SitRep: Delayed Counteroffensive, Russian Defense Lines, Weapon Efficiency
Ukraine does not have the personnel to sustain a longer war. Nor does the 'west' have any spare weapons that could give the Ukraine a 'decisive advantage'.
“Thank you for your good work Revmom. I can’t believe so many people on this board support our once and present enemy Russia.”
Thank you for your kind words.
It is hard to imagine their persistent support of Russia. Often at times, while disrespecting the U.S.A.
I believe many view the Russian invasion as an inconsequential ‘war-game.’ These folk simply chose to endorse and cheer for the side they perceived would “win.”
Just asking.
“Great”
Your more than welcome :)

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and forty second day of the war.
Day 442: May 11
Today there is a lot of good news. First of all, Ukrainians finally received long-range missiles. Today UK Defense Secretary confirmed that they decided to supply Ukraine with the Storm Shadow cruise missile that has a range of over 250 km. By contrast, the US-supplied HIMARS missiles only have a range of around 80 km. On top of that, these missiles are also low-observable, so the Russian air defense will be facing even more challenges from now on.
Simultaneously, Polish officials confirmed that they supplied Ukraine with 14 fighter jets, MiG-29. This came in very handy because the British cruise missiles are actually air-launched. The distance between the Crimean Bridge and the closest Ukrainian position is 246 km, so Ukrainians still do not have a huge buffer zone when it comes to target number one. It looks like Ukrainians will have to rely on ballistic missile Hrim-2 if they want to reach the Crimean Bridge for sure, while the British cruise missiles are more suitable for targeting Russian supplies lines and sending a huge shock through the rear because all the biggest ammunition depots, warehouses with equipment, and command centers are approximately 90 km away from the front, which means that now they are within reach of Ukrainian Air Force.
When it comes to the Bakhmut direction, Russians flanks started to fall apart. If, previously, Russian troops were abandoning their positions on the southern flank, then today, the trend reached the Russians on the northern flank.
Yesterday I told you that after Ukrainians penetrated Russian defense near the canal and forced Russians to abandon their positions south of Ivanivske, Ukrainians put Russian troops in the forest in operational encirclement and would likely try to finish them next.
And this is exactly what happened today. It was reported that Ukrainians opened two lines of attack: from the northern part of the forest and from Ivanivske. The engagements were light because Ukrainians understood that Russians were cut off from supplies. As a result, closer to the second half of the day, Russians started running low on ammunition, and with no prospect of improvement of the situation, several detachments from the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade abandoned multiple positions in this region.
After seeing that their fellow men abandoned their positions, soldiers from the same 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade left a huge trench network north of Klischiivka. This is the biggest and the most fortified position south of Bakhmut. Prigozhin reported that he had to send his men from Bakhmut to plug this hole in the flank.
Today Ukrainians also launched a huge counterattack on the northern flank. In a similar fashion, Ukrainians started undermining Russian defense from the corner between Bohdanivka and a small river. After initial success, the scale of the attack was increased, and Ukrainians opened two vectors of attack directed towards each other. As a result, the Russian 9th Motorized Rifle Brigade started abandoning their positions, which resulted in even bigger first-day penetration than to the south.
Right now, Ukrainians are heavily shelling Russian troops in Berkhivka and Yahidne. It looks like Ukrainians are moving in the direction of Bekhivka from the south and may very soon attack in the same direction from the north. This will put Russian forces in Zaliznianske and Dubovo-Vasylivka in the operational encirclement in the same way it put the Russians in the forest in the operational encirclement.
Such a tactic allows Ukrainians not only to generate tactical gains at a much lower cost but also allows to capture a lot of unused equipment. As Russians were preparing to face a huge frontal attack from Minkivka, these forces accumulated a lot of heavy equipment, such as RPGs, anti-tank mines, and a plethora of machine guns, mortars, and other equipment, which they cannot take in an event of a rapid retreat. So, Ukrainians can seize a lot of trophies not only to the south of Bakhmut but also to the north.
Wrong.
It is not and has never been a war the USA should be a part of.
You support killing of young men on both sides.
That is no place to be if you are a United States citizen.
You shall learn as you get older. Praying to God in your vanity to have the USA be involved makes you no different than LBJ in Vietnam.
It appears surprisingly easy for you to fool yourself. It’s kinda sad to watch.

Russian woman who left note on grave of Putin’s parents convicted amid dissent crackdown.

A Russian court gave a two-year suspended sentence Thursday to a St. Petersburg woman who left a note on the grave of President Vladimir Putin’s parents that said they had “raised a freak and a killer.”
The court found Irina Tsybaneva, 60, guilty of desecrating burial places motivated by political hatred. Her lawyer said she didn’t plead guilty because she hadn’t desecrated the grave physically or sought publicity for her action.
The note that Tsybaneva placed on the guarded grave on the eve of Putin’s birthday in October read: “Parents of a maniac, take him to your place. He causes so much pain and trouble. The whole world prays for his death. Death to Putin. You raised a freak and a killer.”
Since Putin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, the government has waged a crackdown on dissent unseen since the Soviet era.
In another case, a Russian government agency added actor Artur Smolyaninov and a former consultant who advised the Ukrainian president’s office to a list of “extremists and terrorists.” (excerpt)
