Well said and thank you.
I feel bad for them as well, and for all of the families that have been shattered by all of this death and destruction. The soldiers are patriots who believe they’re fighting for their country, but you’re correct; they’re fighting for the corrupt scum of the NWO.
I pray that there can be peace soon and that the citizens can start rebuilding their lives and attain some semblance of normality.

Such a moving moment to meet @PtashkaAzovstal
- The songbird of Mariupol.
Her songs during the horrific siege of Mariupol personified the resilience of Ukraine.
This young woman refused to give in, and defied the horror. Her story is that of her country: unbreakable.

Metsola added that Kateryna Polishchuk “refused to give in, and defied the horror.”

“Her story is that of her country: unbreakable,” she posted.
Paramedic Kateryna Polishchuk was at the Mariupol Azovstal plant during the siege of the city by the Russian occupation forces. The video from the factory, where she sings a rebel song, caused a wide resonance.
In May 2022, Kateryna Polishchuk, along with other defenders of Mariupol, was captured by the Russian forces.
In captivity, she gave an interview to Russian propagandists in Ukrainian, in which she stated that she did not regret that she had gone to defend Mariupol.
She was released as part of a prisoner exchange with Russia in autumn 2022.
Bad news.
Vicky is as corrupt as they come. 😖
“does not require a correction or your enlightenment on my part”
Of course not! LOL
When you mentioned “Shortshanks thinks they’re the Irish” I thought it meant Lil’ putin!!!
You must realize, as the whole world acknowledges as well, that little putin keeps in his sights NON-NATO nations to target. To date, Ireland has not sought to join as a full NATO member due to its traditional policy of military neutrality.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and seventy ninth day of the war.
Day 479: Jun 17
Today the most intense clashes once again took place in the Orikhiv direction.
Here, Ukrainians tried to immediately capitalize on yesterday’s gains and develop their success further. As you remember, Ukrainians have cleared a 1-km wide forest between Zherebianky and Pitykhatky, which secured Ukrainian flanks against a sudden counterattack from the west, and set proper conditions for assaulting the next settlement on the line – Piatykhatky.
Russian sources reported that prior to the attack, Ukrainians covered the whole area with a smokescreen. If we look at the topographic map, we can see that this area is located in the lowlands, which is a perfect condition for the smokescreen as it just fills the hollow space and does not dissipate for a long time.
The FIRST target of Ukrainian forces became the farms north of the settlement. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used the same tactic as yesterday: they used several armored fighting vehicles to quickly deliver the assault units right to the contact line and immediately withdrew, while several tanks in the distance provided cover for the assault units and returning vehicles. By attacking this strong point, Ukrainians not only gained a second foothold just on the doorstep of Piatykhatky but also fixed Russian troops in the opposite part of the settlement relative to the second attack.
The SECOND attack was conducted from the forest. According to Russian sources, here Ukrainians used a different tactic and mostly used just infantry. This is not surprising because, firstly, Ukrainians were attacking from the forest, and forests are convenient for accumulating personnel, not equipment; and secondly, Ukrainians were already close to the settlement, meaning that they immediately engaged in street fighting, where armor is usually not very useful.
Russian forces struggled to keep Ukrainians out of the outskirts, and after several minutes of fighting, Ukrainians had already entered the western part. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians filled all of their multiple-launch rocket systems with mines and scattered these mines all over the approaches to the settlement, which is why Russian reserves were afraid to launch a counterattack. This left Russian forces only the artillery to rely on.
Due to the heavy artillery fire, Ukrainians temporarily retreated back to the forest but also quickly came back and continued fighting in the center of the settlement. Some analysts say that Ukrainians did not withstand the fire and retreated due to loses until they received reinforcements, while other analysts stated that Ukrainians learned from yesterday’s battle how the Russian artillery works and decided to trigger a mass unloading on the empty region and when empty Grads drove off to the nearest ammo station to reload, they used this time to move in an assault Russian positions with more freedom. It seems like the SECOND VERSION is correct because shortly after the intense artillery fire ended, Russian forces were pushed out of the settlement.
Russian sources reported that Russian forces conducted a tactical retreat and assumed more reliable positions on the hills around this settlement while simultaneously destroying the enemy with fire. In the end, the settlement was declared a grey zone, and as you already noticed, so far, whenever the village becomes a grey zone, it is CONFIRMED to be under full Ukrainian control the next day. It is possible that Russians will still decide to launch an even bigger counterattack and retake Piatykhatky, however, right now, it looks like the Ukrainian attack was successful.
Such a development automatically collapses Russian defensive positions along the gully in front of Stepove and Shcherbaky and gives significantly more freedom in the fields. This puts Russians in Zherebianky in a very inconvenient situation because all the pressure now falls on this settlement.
Here, Ukrainians can open at least 3 axes of advance: from the forest, northern gully, and southern gully. On the one hand, unlike Pitykhatky, this village is located on the highlands, giving Russians an advantage. But on the other hand, this village is 5 times smaller than Pitykhatky, making it more vulnerable to artillery devastation and comprehensive attacks from multiple directions.

Who is "Yuri Podolyaka"?
There is is his telegram channel https://t.me/yurasumy/9332, his Twitter page, partial YouTube archive in English, and that he was one of the Russian war correspondents who met with Putin on June 13. There is some some wiki styled information about him.
Given his meeting with Putin and other war reporters, he is one of the top (supposedly) independent Russian bloggers. He is a propagandist putting his own spin over state approved narratives. While posing as representing Ukrainian interests, he serves as controlled opposition in the Russian media for domestic consumption.
“The round table discuss my post before reply?”
No discussion necessary. I was doing the laundry. Then, the uninformed remark. Please do not take this as criticism. There is so much information regarding Russia & how it views the world: NATO specifically.
That is why we are blessed to have Free Republic to share information not just to verbally accost another Freeeper.
“Regarding post #15. Naturally there is no link. Just a screenshot, accepted at face value without any criticism or evaluation.
Who is “Yuri Podolyaka”?”
WOW!
Once again thank you for sharing such pertinent information regarding which sources are trustworthy & deserving of respect.
Have a blessed night.
Hmmmm…I wonder what happened to Posts 17 and 31? I sure hope people aren’t having their posts censored. 🤔
“accept the apology”
Accept whatever helps you.
I only suggested you might assume you would project my advice as a criticism! LOL
People often make ‘false’ assumptions because the way they treat others is what others will do to them!
Absolutely not the case! But, I don’t really mind how you want to interpret if it helps you. However, maybe, you will think twice next time in making silly assumptions.
Someone made the silly assumption that I made a silly assumption.
When the silly assumption was that I was posting about Vladimir Putin, when I was clearly posting about “Shortshanks” zElenskyy, who uses his troops like Longshanks used his Irish troops against the Scots all those years ago.
Forlorn Hope in large numbers
I’m not sure how long they can stand this lopsided casualty exchange via the air bombardment mostly from forces they rarely see
They don’t lack bravery no question of that but most are kids now
“Shortshanks” had to be putin as
putie is clearly shorter than President Zelenskyy.
In addition, putie is clearly wanting to attack &/or any non-NATO affiliated European nation, i.e. Finland, Switzerland Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Malta and Sweden.
Hope that helps
CORRCTION:
“Shortshanks” had to be putin as putie is clearly shorter than President Zelenskyy.
In addition, putie is clearly wanting to attack &/or is actively assessing any non-NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization[ affiliated European nations, i.e. Finland, Switzerland Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Malta and Sweden.
Hope that helps
As linMcHlp shared:
Russian writer and propagandist Maksim Kalashnikov malfunctioned while visiting “liberated” Donbas territories, specifically Toshkivka in the Severodonetsk district. He says this is now scorched earth and the military campaign should not have been run like this.

What does it take for a state to be successful and effective? First of all, the people must live in prosperity! If people living in a country have difficulty in meeting their basic needs, it is a weak and failed country!
A country in a bad economic situation weakens its military and political power. Likewise, the economy of countries that lose political and military power also suffers.
The Russian economy has been deteriorating for a long time. However, after the recent operations of the Ukrainian army, the Russian economy has been severely damaged! According to the experts, this deterioration of the Russian economy will affect the course of the war! Also Putin’s political career depends on the Russian economy! All the operations carried out by the Ukrainian army continue to damage Russia’s economy! So why is the Russian economy suffering more in recent days? What are the achievements of the Ukrainian army in the war zone? What could be the consequences of the Russian economy’s downturn? Let’s analyze it together!
The operations of the Ukrainian army are hurting Russia in many ways! The Russian army suffers a lot of losses in these operations. Russia’s military capacity is decreasing day by day.
As a result of the Ukrainian army’s successes in the war zone, the Russian army suffered a huge loss! Many top generals of the Russian army were killed! The Russian army is not capable of winning this war! And no one is afraid of the Russian army anymore! Russia has suffered a huge loss of face!
Russia claimed to have the strongest army in the world. But when the war started, it turned out that Russia was wrong! The Ukrainian army managed to establish a very serious superiority over Russia!
Especially in the last days, as a result of the great offensive launched by the Ukrainian army, the Russian army is suffering a huge defeat! The Ukrainian army is advancing on all fronts. Ukrainian soldiers are capturing Russian trenches one by one. Many villages and towns are being liberated every day. No one expected the Ukrainian army to advance so fast. The Ukrainian army has launched a historic operation!
The first impact of this operation was on the Russian stock market! Now everyone knows that Russia cannot win this war. Investors also now think that Russia will lose this war. So investors started to move their wealth out of Russia. As a result, the Russian economy has suffered a huge decline! Billions of dollars worth of Russian rubles were transferred to different countries. The Russian economy suffered a lot of damage in the process!
2. Only Russian officers are sent to Russia for treatment after injuries
