Russian Forces Take Heavily Fortified Town of Maryinka in Biggest Triumph Since Bakhmut
The year is ending on an upbeat note for the Russian Federation troops that have just conquered the heavily fortified town of Maryinka, in the outskirts of Donetsk city.
This is a major development, the biggest since Moscow troops regained the initiative, and also the greatest achievement since they gained control of Avdiivka (Bakhmut) in May.
By taking Maryinka, the Russians have significantly pushed back the Ukrainian artillery. For years, Kiev used Maryinka has a key launching pad for drone and artillery strikes against civilians in Donetsk.
Mariinka is... 1 km from what were the front lines at the beginning of the war. Congratulations Putin, you have sent hundreds of thousands of men to die to move your border six tenths of one mile to “liberate” a now flattened former city.
