Ukrainian women soldiers’ preparation process continues in Zaporizhzhia to take part in various roles on the frontline.
While the war between Russia and Ukraine continues, the 128th Carpathian Mountain Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian army, with over 60,000 women participating, is carrying out military operations.
Training events were organized for women, including military press officers, healthcare specialists, and psychologists, among others.
Women, who encountered various obstacles in conditions similar to those on the front line, were evaluated by working on different war scenarios.

A video reportedly shows the moment Ukrainian soldiers captured a Russian soldier who was “sleeping” in his dugout.
It is reported to be in the direction of Bakhmut.

It looks like the counter-offensive is really picking up speed and traction based on links like those here at comment #12.
“It looks like the counter-offensive is really picking up speed and traction based on links like those here at comment #12.”
Yes indeed.
We have much to be grateful for our answered prayers.
“Nice try to make it look like you didn’t screw up, mama. LOL What a shyster you are.”
You just violated JR’s recently posted rules.
I am calling a spade a spade. I don’t spend my time getting posts removed and posting selective excerpts from JR to censor other people.
By the way, when something has ended, just let it go instead of trying to cause a fracas.
Don’t post to me again.
“””There’s nothing to punish Russia for. Ever Russian deserving of punishment for transgression against us is getting it—in the afterlife. They’re all dead already.””””
How can you think all of them are dead? Putin himself is believed to have worked with terrorists murdering civilians and American GIs in Europe by supplying them the weapons for their attacks.
Interesting thought. HOWEVER, totally incorrect.
You are the one posting vile stuff about punishing Russia and reducing it to the rump state Muscovy. the Pecksniff of free republic.
"It is vitally important for this forum multiple conservative views. I believe & have often said: “I respect your freedom to hold your own or differing opinion."
OK, perhaps now you do, but it is an indisputable fact that prior to getting bagged bashing the "abuse" button for posts that were not abusive but simply ran counter to your points of view, you did not materially respect those who are against helping fund the war between Russia and Ukraine. You were particularly censorious towards those - including me - who detest Zelensky.
That being said, I'm glad you backed off on having so many comments on your threads removed. After all, this being an American political forum, it is (ideally) part of what Sam Adams called, "The animating contest of freedom." It would truly suck, and be pointless too, if it was allowed to devolve into a place where those who opposed particular agendas and points of view were censored or silenced. So thanks for now helping keep the Free Speech here flowing freely.
Yes, political discussions on serious issues often get heated - just the passionate nature of the beast, but as Harry Truman said. . .
Looks military age to me. Why is he in Switzerland, having fun attending parties and concerts and making mad bling on social media when he should be in a UA uniform, fighting for his country? Am I missing something here?
“Don’t post to me again.”
Ditto. You’re not worth it, anyway.
You said that you were neutral. That implies that you have no objections.
What tense was my post?
I’m done arguing for today, I have reading to do.
“You are the one posting vile stuff about punishing Russia and reducing it to the rump state Muscovy. the Pecksniff of free republic.”
Ronald Reagan would roll over in his grave hearing stuff like that.

A totally false analogy as Russia and the USSR are not the same thing. Punishing Russia and shrinking it to a rump state like that bunch wants would require the USA to fight them. Reagan was not going to open hostilities. His policy was to force the Soviet Union to collapse without fighting.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred eighth day of the war.
Day 508: Jul 16
Today Ukrainians conducted a series of massive strikes, combining aerial and marine kamikaze drones and Storm Shadow missiles.
The most powerful explosion happened in the Luhansk region. Today in the morning, residents of Luhansk reported hearing multiple explosions. Many people reported that the explosions were so powerful that the impulse resembled an earthquake.
A former commander of the LPR forces, colonel Marochko, claimed that Ukrainians conducted a strike on Luhansk City using Western cluster munitions. However, FIRST of all, it turned out that the explosion happened in the small village of Yuvileine, it’s just that the huge plumes of smoke could be seen tens of kilometers away. And SECONDLY, even though the Ukrainian Defense Ministry confirmed that Ukrainians have already received Western cluster munitions, judging by the explosion, it is unlikely that Ukrainians used them.
It is more likely that in response to such events, Russians are using information operations to set the local and general population against Ukraine and its allies by claiming that they used devastating weapons to target civilians.
The real target of the strike turned out to be a COAL MINE in the village of Yuvileine, and many analysts are saying that it was targeted by Storm Shadow missiles. Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainians destroyed a huge warehouse with Russian rockets.
The coal mine was a perfect location for storing rockets because it is not located on the surface and because it is located right next to the railways, which allows for easy transportation. Unfortunately for Russians, these transportation routes were closely monitored.
The SECOND target of the Storm Shadow missile strike became Mariupol. Local residents reported hearing multiple explosions. Ukrainian Mariupol Mayoral Advisor Petro Andrushchenko added that Russian air defense got triggered not only in Mariupol itself but also near Nikolske and Mangush, which are located around 15 km northwest of Mariupol.
The THIRD target of the Storm Shadow missile strike became Berdyansk. Local residents reported hearing explosions in the southeastern part of the town and north of the town. Both Berdyansk and Mariupol are some of the most important Russian logistical hubs, with a lot of warehouses and industrial areas that are constantly being used for stationing troops and storing ammunition and equipment.
But the most comprehensive strike happened in Crimea. Russian sources reported that there were several waves of attacks.
The FIRST wave happened at 1 am. In order to complicate interception, Ukrainian aerial drones targeted various objects at the same time: the airfield, the oil depot, and the Black Sea Fleet.
The SECOND wave happened at 5 am, and it was even more diverse because apart from launching 9 aerial drones, Ukrainians also launched 2 marine drones. Russian sources reported that interception proved to be very challenging, and they had to engage all of their resources to prevent dire implications.
Russians tried to use regular air defense, which did not work efficiently against such targets. That is why they used stationary as well as mobile Electronic Warfare Systems and multiple units with small arms. Marine drones are even more challenging targets due to their mobility.
The most effective weapon against them was a machine gun. This time Russians got lucky because, even according to the Russians sources, the drones got shot down in the last seconds, less than 100 meters away from the Black Sea Fleet.
In the meantime, Russian forces lost another important officer. Today Ukrainian officer confirmed that Ukrainian forces liquidated the commander of the Russian 96th Reconnaissance Brigade, colonel Maksim Kharlamov.
Ukrainian Intelligence reported that this brigade was created in 2015 specifically in preparation for the invasion of Ukraine, and the activities of exactly this brigade inflicted a lot of damage to the Ukrainian forces. That is why this commander was considered to be in the top 10 of the most important targets.

Yes, they are the same thing. Both are predatory aggressive regimes corrupt, bent on widening their borders, totalitarian and completely evil. It's the character and personality of the nation that describes it and not the slogans. Whether it is Czarism, Communism or Putin's oligarchy it is ail the same just different slogans. Russia is the most dangerous country in the world today and the one that will have to be dealt with in the future and it not going to end well.
Reagan wanted to liberate the Russian people, not destroy them as some here want. There’s a big difference between revenge and justice. You say Russia with have to be dealt with. What does that mean? Are you wishing that the USA fight Russia?
No I don't want to fight Russia that is why I will strongly help out those who do. Russia or at least Putin are hell bent on extending borders and returning to “greater Russia”(his words not mine). He will not give that up unless he is decisively defeated or better yet overthrown and his country dissolved into pieces. They have been a problem for over 100 years. It is time for them to not be a problem.
