“the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out an incredible landing operation in this region. Ukrainian forces landed seven boats, each carrying about six to seven soldiers”
I’m majorly impressed. Why, that’s around 40 or 50 guys.
“the Ukrainian defense lines advanced to a depth of 800 meters.”
A whole 800 meters!!! Wow! We’re really getting our moneys worth.
I guess Joffre and Haig retailed this kind of blather in WWI.

Poland has taken it upon itself to become the bulwark against security threats emanating from Russia and its allies, making a serious effort to boost its military capabilities in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. With recent statistics showing that these efforts have resulted in Warsaw now being in command of NATO’s seventh-largest army – and the fifth-largest among the Alliance’s European members – Poland is clearly taking matters seriously, but what further steps are necessary to ensure effective deterrence?

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred thirty eighth day of the war.
Day 538: Aug 15
Today there are a lot of updates from the Kherson region.
Here, after Ukrainian forces established a bridgehead on the eastern bank of the river, they slowly started pushing Russians from the village of Kozachi Laheri. What helped Ukrainians to capitalize on their recent gains so rapidly was the information that they got from the captured commander of the battalion that was responsible for holding this region. Recently released footage showed a conversation between a Ukrainian fighter and the Russian battalion commander major Tomov.
Major Tomov said that his battalion fully consisted of mobilized soldiers and that he was mobilized last fall as well. He said that his troops were untrained, which is why their battalion was doing some logistical tasks in the rear when suddenly, less than 2 weeks ago, they got deployed to the zero line.
When hit with reality, the soldiers got demoralized and refused to follow many orders. That is why he very often had to go to each position and check on everything personally, which is exactly how he got captured. Moreover, it turned out that as a result of the concentrated work of Ukrainian artillery and drone crews, the battalion lost 25% of its personnel just in the first 9 days, and after the Ukrainian attack, Russian losses exceeded 30%.
But the most important information that Ukrainians got was the disposition of Russian observation posts, command posts, defensive positions, and regular patrol routes. Ukrainians got all the details marked on the map and immediately initiated the second wave of attacks. Geolocated footage shows that Ukrainian drone operators quickly verified the received information by tracking down Russian troops, and after Ukrainian artillery crews received the coordinates, they unleased precise and devastating fire on the western side of the village and pushed Russians to the eastern side.
Russian sources claimed that despite the challenging situation on the ground, Russian forces prevented Ukrainians from entering the settlement. However, some analysts still alluded to the fact that the fighting is taking place inside the village itself. It was reported that Ukrainian forces were moving on the river relatively freely, and just like they evacuated captured Russians to the Ukrainian rear, they also reinforced the region on the way back. In order to hold the newly captured positions, Ukrainians deployed fighters from the 126 Brigade while special forces reportedly continued moving forward.
If Ukrainians manage to take Kozachi Laheri and start moving towards Oleshy, then a significant portion of the river will be completely out of Russian control, giving Ukrainians unlimited ability to reinforce their assault units. And Russian forces would only be able to counterattack along 2 corridors because there is a huge sand desert national part in the middle.
The analysts concluded that Ukrainian success is, to a large extent, a result of powerful intelligence because the moment experienced Russian airborne forces were removed from the front and inexperienced mobilized soldiers assumed responsibility, Ukrainians immediately focused on destroying them. The lack of experience of these troops and lack of familiarity with the region played a key role, and the whole battalion incurred substantial losses in less than 10 days, got demoralized, and was easy to break.
Interestingly, Russian forces recently tried to conduct a similar operation on a much smaller scale, possibly to shift the Ukrainian focus away from this region and force to devote resources to stabilizing the situation rather than developing the bridgehead. Unfortunately for Russians, Ukrainian drone operators were closely monitoring the region and destroyed Russian boats with kamikaze drones already on the approach.

Pray that Free Republic might some day be free of pro-war propagandists who put the needs of a Nazi-infested, child trafficking and money-laundering craphole 5,000 miles from the US ahead of the needs of the United States Of America and of Americans.
Pray that "elite" scumbags like Victoria Nuland, Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Syndicate, Robert Kagan, the Deep State, the WEF, George Soros and the leftist/globalist filth who provoked and now prolong this war for their own nefarious, self-enriching reasons meet their Waterloo soon.
=thumbs up=
These threads should be called “PREY for the Globalist Warmongers.”
Pray for the Ukrainians to overthrow their lawless, treasonous dictator !
The continual focus on a beloved Ukrainian "pilot" creating YouTube "content" from Switzerland and profiting well from clicks and donate and merch suggests daily that the "information war" is healthy and full of life, so unlike the men dying at the front.
Indeed, as you write, "F’ Ukraine and Russia it's a European problem period."
This is among the reasons the warn porn is disseminated, masked with the prayers of the Church of Nice. The Biden-Blinken-Nuland foreign policy must continue to be pressed here on a conservative forum. In spite of ....
...the rapidly growing US debt, as of this day about $32,705,260,234,623.00Bankrupting the nation is the large goal, becoming a reality.

Internal security is as critical for a state as external security. Internal security is ensured through law enforcement. In countries where public order cannot be maintained, internal threats can drag the country into chaos. Political power holders should encourage the police to enforce the law. Crises can arise if the self-interests of political power holders override the law. It is a known fact that countries often experience public order problems, especially in times of war. Both political opposition and the depressions caused by war play a role in these problems. If those in power use the law enforcement agencies to use violence against the people, tensions increase. Therefore, in such situations, the political power mechanism needs to react calmly.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was followed by public order problems. The growing social opposition in Russia has created many crises for the Kremlin to resolve. The Moscow government has tried to resolve the crises with harsh measures. Rather than solving the crises, Moscow’s authoritarian measures exacerbated them. Moscow’s directives are implemented directly through the police force. This has led to growing dissatisfaction among the police. Police officers who do not want to confront the Russian people, who are the victims of Russia’s war policy, prefer to resign. In recent days, the increasing number of police resignations has come to the agenda as an issue that has attracted attention. Now, if you are ready, let’s examine the police resignations in Russia together.
In a statement made by Russian officials, it was stated that Russia is facing a critical shortage of police officers. It was announced that 5000 law enforcement officers resigned last July alone.
