Ukraine Holds Chasiv Yar amid Russia's 'Disastrous' Canal Crossing—Reports
Newsweek ^ | 6/5/2024 | Isabel van Brugen

Posted on 06/05/2024 10:04:54 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Ukrainian forces held their ground in the strategically important eastern Ukrainian town of Chasiv Yar as Russian troops are reported to have failed an attempt to cross a canal in the area.

The town, which had a pre-war population of more than 12,000, and is dissected by a canal, is located some 7 miles from the war-torn city of Bakhmut which was seized by Russian forces last May. The town in the Donetsk region has been the focus of Moscow's military since March.

Well yeah.
Swizzi land is only good for laundering stolen gold and other wealth, not brokering peace.

Unlike a lot of topics the war in Ukraine is being documented in real time by the people fighting the war. Cell phone cameras, and drones with cameras have changed the situation with respect to news about war.

If you look you will be able to find videos showing what happened during the combat near Chasiv Yar.

Perhaps the Russians don't realize that in a war of attrition you want to attrit the other side, not your own men.

Russia seems to sacrifice a lot of men and equipment for very little gains.

“How many times do the Russians have to tell dilwits like you that they’re meat-grindering the Ucrazian troops, not trying to take territory?”

LOL! Yeah sure.(roll eyes)

They could kill a lot more Ukrainians if they broke through their lines and flanked and trapped them then destroyed them and then had an open highball express lane to Kiev.

Once they conquered Ukraine the real slaughter of Ukrainians would begin as blood debts would need to be paid for all the hundred of thousands of dead Russians Putrid ordered into meat charges.

Try to keep up.

The TV is “reporting” on it, that alone should make you question what you see.

That's great news. No need for NATO troops. No need for peace summit. Ukraine is winning!

Tell Russia to leave Ukraine. It’s not their country.

Find an article by Isabel van Brugen that tells us what's actually happening on the Ukrainian side.

You won't.

You don't seem to understand that this marcus is a MAJOR troll - one whose like I've never seen on Free Republic.

He would post pro-Russia articles if he could get the same yucks that he gets by posting pro-Ukraine articles, and taunting and one-lining his "opponents".

It's literally all about the "yucks" with him.

He doesn't actually care about the "news" that he's posting - just the diversion of stirring the ant nest.

If you would check his posting history, he had a long spell of posting articles about the "implosion" of FoxNews after their 2020 Arizona election call of Arizona.

He beat that horse for MONTHS.

He didn't get a whole lot of traffic or yucks on those article posts, so he moved on to his new Ukraine troll.

I'm just curious as to what his new troll will be after the Ukraine Project collapses finally, and all the young men on both sides stop getting killed for nothing.

Tell The Ukraine to stop killing its own young men.

You mean like Preston or MorePerfectUnion or others who attack marcus and others for posting legitimate sourced news articles? Others who post articles from the opposite point of view and cancel out opposing views on those threads? Yeah, we've never seen the likes of that here.

What you dont seem to grasp is I am here for the various sources of non-MSM news. I make my own decisions about what may be real and what is propaganda and whats a mix of both. I couldnt care if the poster is getting 'yucks' or not. I appreciate the effort in posting the news. As far as marcus 'taunting', so far as I can tell he only replies to those others that attack him for posting the thread. Why should he be 'shamed' for posting an article?

As far as his history, he hasnt insulted me personally, so why would I care or waste time looking up his posting history? I am here for my own info and enjoyment. I have a life that extends far beyond the internet. Some here should try it.

So, you didn't bother to verify that he's an actual troll.

Four solid months of attacks against FoxNews [November 2020 through March 2021].

For the yucks.

If you'll examine the early history of his Ukraine article posts, you won't see that.

HE started in with the mockery and one-liner trolling.

Those people finally responded, and now they're taking it to him with very large brickbats.

Too freaking bad for him.
