Yes
If the Ukrainians had some ham, they could have ham and eggs.
If they had eggs.
You know, they need actual artillery shells to shell the major Russian supply lines. Which they don't have much of.
But he's still alive.
Progress has been costly and staggered, but Ukrainian forces announced they had pushed through key Russian defensive lines with the capture of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region this week.
"Having entrenched on the flanks of Robotyne, we are opening the way to Tokmak and, eventually, Melitopol and the administrative border with Crimea," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said during an earlier visit to Paris.
Tokmak appears to be the key ...

Putin used elbow to smoke cigarettes or drink vodka? That is lot of talent.

Slava Spam!
I'm trying to be objective here. Hate to say it but Ukraine will run out of troops before they reach Crimea.
Well, I’ll have the Spam, eggs, sausage and Spam, that’s not got much Spam in it.
Redacted sent a journalist to interview Russians. I hope you take the time to watch this clip to understand another side of the story instead of spouting state run propaganda. Perhaps when you realize the humanity side of things, you will stop larping. Innocent lives are being destroyed.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred fifty third day of the war.
Day 553: Aug 30
Today, there are a lot of important updates.
FIRST of all, when it comes to the most successful Ukrainian strike, more information became available about the level of destruction of the Russian bases. Today, local Russian residents released more footage from the Russian strategic airfield in the Pskov region, which clearly shows a burning airlifter IL-76. The narrator also mentioned that the second aircraft was burning simultaneously as well. If yesterday Russian sources claimed that Ukrainians damaged 4 aircraft, then today some sources mentioned that 6 aircraft IL-76 were actually damaged.
The spokesman for Ukrainian Intelligence commented on the situation and confirmed that Ukrainian forces indeed conducted a major attack with the goal of destroying some of the most advanced and precious strategic aircraft. He also said that 4 aircraft were completely destroyed and cannot be repaired, while the number of damaged aircraft is still being determined.
Recently released satellite footage helped in determining the extent of the damage. Judging by the black marks on the fuselage of the aircraft and several firefighting vehicles, there are at least 2 more aircraft damaged. However, the weather was cloudy, and most of the airfield could not be seen, so it is quite possible that the level of losses is much higher, especially given that Ukrainians struck the airfield in several waves, targeting different parts of the airfield.
The Russian media sources discussed this event in disbelief, claiming that it is impossible to cross more than 700 km without being detected, which is why they concluded that the attack was conducted by the Baltic states on behalf of Ukraine and claimed that they needed to be wiped out.
Others said that the Russian air defense could not be so weak along the border with enemies, so the drones must have crossed the territory of Belarus with the prior approval of Lukashenko. Both versions are extremely unlikely, especially given that Ukrainian drones are targeting Russian bases around Moscow on a regular basis.
By the way, that is why Russians started introducing some changes to these bases. Recently released satellite footage shows some of the Russian strategic bombers Tu-22m3 with atypical camouflage. The analysts concluded that Russians just glued the camo to confuse Ukrainian drones that are equipped with aiming systems based on visual identification of targets by size.
The camouflage supposedly does not allow for the identification of the sizes properly, causing the drones to miss their targets. The method is very dubious, but it is still a testament to the fact that Ukrainian drones destroyed a noticeable number of bombers.
The strikes also continue today. The first target of the strike became the Bryansk region. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians attempted to destroy a connection tower but that the Russian air defense shot down all drones. The footage, however, indicates that some drones reached their destination.
But the biggest news comes from the Tokmak direction. Just several days ago, we were talking about how Ukrainians reached the second line of defense, and today, Ukrainian fighters from the 82nd and 47th Brigades have already breached it. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians basically ignored the region, where Russians deployed thousands of troops over the last few days and conducted a powerful attack in the direction of Verbove.
Geolocated footage shows how Russians are shelling the northern part of Verbove, which indicates that Ukrainians are already storming the settlement. Such a development indicates that Russians lost control over 6 km of trenches virtually in one day. And these trenches were supposed to be the main and the most powerful fortifications that were supposed to stop the Ukrainian advancement completely.
Right now, Ukrainians are trying to consolidate control over as many fortifications as possible. If Ukrainians manage to hold the ground and repel Russian counterattacks, the second line of defense will collapse completely.

Thanks for this post.
Yay! Ukraine is winning. Good, they don’t need us anymore.
These daily threads have been promoting monetized YouTube videos whose combined income has been well over a million USD. The profitability of monetized YouTube and Twiiter links is now well documented. She doesn't care because, at the minimum, her copy-paste promotion proves her confirmation bias. Understand, she has a specific perspective. She posted to her own thread 11 days ago....
"The ‘PUTIN-Biden-Clinton-Obama’ cartel did used Ukraine as a FRONT to stage their money-laundering by using Russian agents embedded BY PUTIN in the Ukraine government: Ukrainian deep-state!So you see Putin is in charge of Russia, has been in charge of the deep state in Ukraine (per the 20 August 2023 testimony), in charge of the United States via the Biden administration, including other Democrats such as Obama and Clinton, and of course our very own deep state....President Zelensky is still trying to remove Ukraine CORRUPT “deep state created by Putin!”

Since being responded to by the same kind of copy-paste documentation of her nutty view, she has pretended to answer her own comment as if proof that Z has weeded out corruption since 20 August 2023.
Live action role playing indeed. And ever loyal to the Swiss resident pilot who headlines for her every day.
Trust but verify.
Check the link for another thread of her very own, and her original assertion.
Imagine Barbarossa or Normandy invasion showing such results over a year and a half.
For whatever reason the west has slow played western aircraft and certain weapons, still the results are staggering for the Ukrainians, and devastating for the Russias
Launching waves of missiles and drones and mobilizing even more manpower seems to be russias only plan
How that will effect Russias internal situation is anyone’s guess, but it can’t be good
I think it is summed up by the picture of Russians on the beach in Crimea watching in disbelief as explosion happen around them

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 31, 2023:
- The Western media is trying to spin Ukrainian gains within the security or “gray zone” ahead of Russia’s first of several defense lines as a “turning point” in the offensive;
- Ukraine’s offensive potential has been exhausted with the West struggling to find arms and ammunition to replace Ukrainian losses;
- The West is even struggling to pull together large numbers of antiquated and inappropriate equipment like the post-WW2 Leopard 1 tank;
- Meanwhile Ukraine continues conducting drone strikes in Russia, achieving questionable PR value and little else;
- A recent Ukrainian drone strike on an airport hosting Il-76 strategic airlift aircraft damaged 2. To put that in context, Russia operates over 100 of these aircraft and has production capacity to build up to 12 annually;
- Ukraine’s sponsors are unable to sustain the conflict “for as long as it takes,” and only for as long as they have arms and ammunition to supply Ukraine in sufficient quantities;
“Perhaps when you realize the humanity side of things”
I would suggest speaking to expatriate Russians.
