Russian troops dealt a powerful blow to the military training ground of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Selidovo and buried a bunch of soldiers
▪️According to Russian telegram channels, during the strike there could have been up to 1,500 Ukrainian military personnel at the training ground who arrived for training and further transfer to Avdeevka. ▪️Ukrainian journalist Igor Mosiychuk, without giving specifics, confirmed the arrival in Selidovo. ▪️There has not yet been an official statement from representatives of the political authorities of Ukraine or the military leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Some reports say hit by cluster rounds and iskander missiles
The city has been blocked off
How many Ukrainians have to die to protect Democrat party crimes?
This is the fault of budget negotiations! /sarc
Huge casualties for the Ukrainian army in Selidovo!
The Ukrainian Army concentrated reserves for a counterattack on Avdeevka, but they were hit with Iskander missiles.
Russian reconnaissance worked brilliantly and the concentrating units of the AFU were struck by Iskanders. The enemy’s losses have not yet been calculated, but they are enormous. The missiles hit right where they needed to be. The corpses and seriously wounded are transported to Dnepropetrovsk and Pokrovsk in dozens.
There were two strikes. First, with cluster munitions over a large area, which covered the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers densely clustered on the site. Each Iskanders missile carries up to 500 kg of “load”.
For reference. The Iskander cassette warhead carries 54 fragmentation warheads of non-contact detonation, triggered at a height of about 10 m above the ground.
The second strike was delivered an hour later again with cluster munitions, when a mass evacuation of survivors began at the point and a lot of medical personnel had accumulated to provide assistance to the wounded. Moreover, both blows landed extremely accurately. Hence the huge number of casualties.
You can, of course, say that this is not entirely humane. And yes, it is not. But the fact is that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been practicing such “tactics” of strikes for many months. And any such “game” can always be “played” together.
Russians were not the first to start “fighting like this.” There is no place to complain here.

More Kremlin propaganda.
Ukraine is big winning! Ukraine is strong!!
This is it for Pooty-Poot. Russia lose war! Bread lines come back!
You keep hearing the Ukes need a PR victory to bolster their chances of getting additional U.S. funding. The Zaluzhnyi replacement commander is just the guy to feed what reserves the Ukes have into this hopeless battle. The “bloody arithmetic” of this war tells us the sooner the Uke military is bled out, the quicker this ends. DC won’t allow anything else as long as there is still Uke cannon fodder to be massacred. Such a needless tragedy. Putin, again, offered negotiations to deaf ears.
Imposerous!! Zeepers tell us only Russian soldiers die and tanks and ammo destroyed.
Pretty smart to strike before Congress sends Ukraine billions of dollars
“- When they killed Berkut on the Maidan, I was silent.
-When they burned people in the House of Trade Unions, I was silent.
-When they said that everyone in Donbass is a Moskal [a derogatory word for "Russian"] and they all need to be killed, I was silent

100’s Ukrainian troops about to be trapped in the southern part of Avdiivka
They could have withdrawn by now
Ukraine just sent one of their best reserves , 3rd Brigade, with western equipment to the area
Selidovo: Ukraine began to admit losses.
According to comments on Ukrainian telegram pages, they write about 200 dead and over 300 wounded.

Trump’s fault for encouraging Russia to attack NATO nations.
I don’t recall ever hearing about Iskander missiles cluster with clusters being used before this
The Russians were just ready to close the cauldron when Syrskyi, “the butcher” began sending in more reserves to be lost. Such stupidity. Or is it stupidity? Syrskyi is a Russian. His Russian parents, brother and son back in Russia maybe got to him.
Ow.
War is about killing people and destroying things. That will never change. What’s happening to Ukraine is terrible. It could have been avoided.
Yup—this is not a good way to complete your military training.
