They congratulated Putin with portraits of Bandera.
Pranks on Russian officials are becoming increasingly popular online, because they don’t even try to check information about who they are communicating with and why they need to follow orders from unknown people. Our correspondents looked into why fear of power dominates critical thinking among Russians.
$60 Billion more for Ukraine. What a F’ing joke.
Whenever some fool purposely misspells a name or word, such as Trump's name, a country, etc., I don't waste my time going there.
So tonight I wasted some time, first and last.
Please, grow up, get out of your mother's basement, Denys Davydov, and quit the BS.
HAHAHAHA that was very funny! Thanks for a good laugh.
All correct, but senile & corrupt Biden wants $60,000,000,000 sent to Ukraine, money which US Treasury does not have, and will be added to the national debt. This is insanity, pure and simple.
Ruzzian
Alternative/ substitute spelling of Russian (adj. & noun] Ruzzians (plural)
Etymology: Ruzzian
This neologism followed the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ruzzian blends of Russian + Z, using the Russian Z SYMBOL as substitute in Russian propaganda against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
At worse, just consider it as a etymology parody for Russian.

The Kremlin is increasingly dragging its state into the war against Ukraine and is preparing to replenish the thinning ranks of the Russian army. It continues to lie about the successes of the so-called “Strategic Defense Forces” and to conceal its intentions to throw into the war in Ukraine everyone who can be reached by the tentacles of mobilization. The Russian State Duma is feverishly preparing the ground for large-scale mobilization. And it is possible that it will be all-Russian.
Victory in this war was supposed to be Putin’s personal triumph, and this war will be waged by the Kremlin’s top brass for as long as possible, without sparing anyone of those who will be sent to die because of the sole decision of the Russian ruler. A new wave of mobilization - phantom or reality?

Russian soldier reveals horrific losses in battle against Ukraine

A Russian soldier has been overheard in a phone call to his wife describing the hellish conditions he and his unit are facing on the front lines, describing horrific losses in failed assaults on Ukrainian positions and a crippling lack of basic supplies, according to Kyiv Post media outlet.
It is noted that, in the intercepted call published by Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate, the man describes losing 100 men “in a few days.”
“The assault failed. Everyone was killed,” he says.
The soldier’s location is not disclosed but Russia has been suffering extremely heavy losses in its so far failed attempts to take the town of Avdiivka.
The Russian military in fighting around Avdiivka likely suffered its worst combat losses since mid-February, and by some measures suffered one of Moscow’s worst battlefield defeats of the war thus far.
“Everything that we occupied, Ukrainians have already recaptured,” the soldier says.
He then goes on to complain that the Russian military command hasn’t delivered food or water to its troops in weeks.
“We haven’t had food delivered to us for three weeks. We haven’t had food delivered to us for three weeks,” he says.
“Today is already the seventh day since we have been brought water.”
He then says he is so weak that he can no longer wear his heavy bulletproof vest.
“F**k it! I’m already taking off my bulletproof vest, I don’t have the strength to wear it. What’s the difference, it is senseless. The wounded soldiers are not taken out anyway,” he says.
“And the dead are lying in the field, they are not taken away because it is impossible to take them away.”
The soldier’s comments echo other reports from Russian sources coming from Avdiivka – last week a Russian volunteer pleaded for followers to donate body bags for Kremlin soldiers assaulting Avdiivka, saying that there’s “a horrible deficit.”
Ukrainian soldiers defending the front-line city of Avdiivka are bracing for a new “massive attack,” after Russian forces threw their might at it earlier this month but failed to break though.
“Ukraine wins every battle and the Russians are always in retreat, but the front line never moves”
Quote of the day. This should be a meme.
Funding to the Ukraine is being cut, the Ukrainians are running out of ammo and soldiers, they never had adequate arms or air cover, so it makes sense that, with problems securing funds, NOW the Ukraine is WINNING WINNING WINNING!
They want the grift to continue Biden needs his ‘offshore account’ location.
All the propaganda began to be excused about 2 months ago with the Ukrainians saying, “Well Russia was incompetent but after they trained against us, NOW they are willing.”
Sad but the Ukraine has been losing for a long time now. Their ‘leaders’ won’t stop posturing about war until there are not enough left to fake a photo op.
Great job !!!
Even though I despise Biden , Russia and Putin deserve what they are getting
Putin is a murderer. He has his hands all over the Middle East
If it wasn’t for the USA , Israel would be eradicated
I guess that’s what some Russian lovers on this site want
The pro Russian lovers on freerepublic. They disgust me

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the six hundred fifth day of the war.
Day 605: Oct 21
Today, there are a lot of new developments in the Kherson region.
Here, after fooling Russian forces by forcing them to focus on the wrong direction and subsequently penetrating Russian defenses from the other side, Ukrainians decided to expand the scale of their operation by creating a second bridgehead – and this operation turned out to be even more successful than the previous one.
But first of all, before conducting a landing operation on Krynky, a lot of fights took place around the first Ukrainian bridgehead on the eastern bank of the river. After losing 2 villages, Russian forces received an order to eliminate the bridgehead at all costs and started attacking Poima and Pishchanivka.
Ukrainian fighters were on the lookout for the moving forces and were destroying them on the approach. One of the videos shows the destruction of a truck fully loaded with ammunition for the Russian assault units. Another video shows how Ukrainian drone operators hunted down a car that was pulling a mortar system closer to Poima. Nonetheless, the clashes eventually took place, and Russian sources reported that Russians returned control over the villages.
However, today, some Russian sources reported that the fighting in Pishchanivka is still ongoing. So far, the situation around these 2 villages is not fully clear, however, what is certain is that Ukrainians had enough time to entrench themselves in the residential areas on the islands, just like they did near the Antonivsky bridge.
Russian sources reported that despite continuous airstrikes, Ukrainians maintain a permanent presence. And this is not surprising because Ukrainians have secured a continuous 20 km line of residential areas along the Dnipro River, which allows them to conduct rotation, evacuation, and supply forces with ammunition significantly easier.
While Russian forces were fighting near Pishchanivka, Ukrainians attacked Krynky. Ukrainian fighters recently released footage purported to show how two Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups crossed the Dnipro River and started slowly moving toward the settlement. Later, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians overwhelmed the Russian troops in the area, gained a foothold in the village, and are fighting to take full control of Krynky.
It seems like the Ukrainian commanders also took lessons from the first landing operation several days ago because the assault units used a slightly different tactic. Instead of focusing on taking control of the settlement and waiting there to meet the Russian counterattack, Ukrainians moved further out of the village and, according to Russian sources, advanced by almost two kilometers south and entrenched in the tree lines.
This was a very clever move because it gave more room for maneuvering and, more importantly, created a buffer zone necessary to safely conduct rotation, evacuation, and transfer new forces and light equipment across the Dnipro River to support positions on the east bank.
When Russian forces conducted a counterattack, they struggled to advance deeper into the settlement because of the Ukrainian positions in the tree lines. It seems like, at some point, the counterattack became too costly, and Russians started mostly relying on aviation.
Despite Russian resistance, Ukrainians managed to hold the bridgehead and continue their operations. The Institute for the Study of War assessed the situation and concluded that Ukrainian forces have been able to adequately supply and reinforce the groups conducting these operations.
Moreover, Russian sources reported that due to the unfavorable weather conditions, their ability to use aviation effectively decreased. Given the lack of manpower, and the means to compensate for the lack of manpower in this region, Ukrainians may have plenty of opportunities for advancement.
Even though many Russian sources have been raising the alarm about the imminent massive landing operation and a sudden counteroffensive in the Kherson region, some military analysts claimed that a milder objective of Ukrainian forces may be to force Russians to move as many troops here as possible, thereby undermining their defensive operation near Tokmak or offensive operation near Avdiivka.
However, if Russians refuse to increase the number of forces for the protection of the eastern bank of the river, then a massive landing operation may become a possibility.
