Putin's forces are humiliated in footage from one of the biggest recent assaults of the Ukraine war that ended in huge losses: Russia says it is ready for peace talks as it faces losing '1.8 MILLION troops'

This is the moment Vladimir Putin's forces were left humiliated when one of his biggest recent assaults of his war on Ukraine ended in substantial losses.

The Russian leader had ordered his troops to capture more territory in the Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine, but the push near Kurakhove resulted in mass death and destruction.

The failed assault led to the reported deaths of 40 invaders, and left 37 more injured.

Russia is carrying out intense attacks in multiple sections of the eastern front, but in a Ukraine victory, troops managed to fend off 29 attacks in Kurakhove alone, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces, Dmytro Hutsuliak revealed in its latest update.

Ukrainian paratroopers destroyed six Russian tanks and seven advancing armoured combat vehicles as they were hit by kamikaze drones, it said.

The Russian attack group was also targeted by anti-tank gunners, said Ukraine's 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade - also known as the Taurian Brigade.

The Russian army launched the attack from several directions simultaneously early Wednesday morning, the brigade said, while sharing the footage of the assault.

The brutal attack reportedly involved some 57 armoured vehicles, 11 tanks, 12 motorcycles, and 200 assault vehicles.

Russia is inside the city, having sustained less than 20% losses. Mission success. Crossing 4 km across open fields in daylight and securing several blocks in a new town is success.

“The War should be called the Ridiculous Propaganda War.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

According to Putin’s propaganda there is no war!
Only a slight special operation, that has eliminated (dead, or seriously wounded) more than half a million Russians in only 2 years.

Comparing self-sacrificing, honorable, moral and ethical General Washington, Commander of the Continental Army, President and Founding Father to your corrupt, grifter globohomo hero, Zelensky shows that you are nothing but a UKE propagandist.

The Ukraine has no General Washington. The Ukraine has their own Benedict Arnold for their leader, betraying his nation for personal gain.

The RevMom returns!
Great News. Peace will come in the near future for YouCraynee/Ruzzian War.
When Trump takes office the YouCrayne Gravy Train will stop.
At least from American Tax Payers footing YouCrayne’s Bills.
Pooty Poo will keep the Territory that he claims as his.
And Trump will insure Putin that Ukraine does not become a member of NATO.
Get you party balloons ready!

The Kremlin warmongering Neocon forever-war Elites are pushing for endless wars all over the world. They are invading and annexing parts of nations which aren’t theirs all over the planet: Moldova, Georgia, Crimea, Ukraine... and they have even resurrected old fashioned colonialism with Russian troops sent to Africa, sucking up the African gold as we speak...

Russia is supporting the worst ultra-Islamic nation in human history : IRAN. Russia even made an alliance with IRAN and North Korea (and more or less secretly supported by china)!

No wonder Trump supported the massive Billion$$ deal to help Ukraine and Israel with US military support!

Trump has already said that Russia’s demands to end the war in Ukraine are totally unacceptable!
Putin must secretly pray for Kamala Harris, and her winning the presidential election.

Anyone with half a brain could figure out that Ukraine could never win a war with Russia.

I don’t doubt the war is a meat grinder for a second. The Russians have absolutely wasted a generation of young men for basically nothing. As have the Ukrainians, albeit on a much smaller scale.

My point was the propaganda nature of the headline (“1.8 million casualties!”) when that was a projection randomly thrown into the article. The actual story was about a skirmish where there were ~50 dead and 50 wounded.

To rephrase, my comment is on how stupid the reporting is on this war, from both sides.

Send 50,000 French Surrender Monkeys to help YouCrayne.
That will teach Pooty Poo a lesson.

After trying to clean up her act on the President Trump threads and religious threads, the Copy And Paste Queen of Ukrainian Propaganda has reverted back to her true self: Gushing globalist, warmongering propaganda like a fire hose gushes water.

Oh yeah, that’s just disgusting. The lengths these Biden people go to to lionize that mincing little grifter would be humorous if the whole thing weren’t so blatantly egregious.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

One of the many reasons so many supports Trump is based on his forceful anti-Russia/Iran/China policies while he was President.
Thus, Trump is the one who got me into supporting Ukraine from the very start.

Trump initiated the whole process of resisting Russia and helping Ukraine. Obama had refused to do so (he only sent pillows and blankets). Remember?

Are you against Trump’s pro-Ukraine actions he did when he was President? If Trump gave his support is because he knows it’s vital for America’s interests.

As short reminder:

Trump’s administration maintained a consistent policy of non-recognition of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, reaffirming support for Ukraine’s territorial claims.

Furthermore, Donald Trump’s administration took several actions that helped Ukraine against Russian aggression:

First, they provided lethal aid, including anti-tank missiles like the Javelin, which bolstered Ukraine’s defense capabilities.

Second, the Trump-administration imposed sanctions on Russian individuals and entities, aiming to weaken Russia’s economy and limit its ability to fund military operations.

Third, the Trump-administration increased military training and support for Ukrainian forces, enhancing their readiness and effectiveness.

Fourth, Trump’s administration supported NATO’s “Enhanced Forward Presence” in Eastern Europe, demonstrating a commitment to regional security.

Fifth, the Trump-administration approved sales of advanced defense equipment to Ukraine, improving its military technology.

Sixth, Trump’s administration advocated for increased NATO defense spending, which indirectly benefited Ukraine by strengthening the alliance’s collective defense posture.

Seventh, the Trump-administration promoted energy independence initiatives in Europe, reducing the region’s reliance on Russian energy supplies.

Eighth, Trump’s administration engaged in diplomatic efforts to support Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in international forums.

Ninth, the Trump-administration provided economic aid and development assistance to Ukraine, helping stabilize its economy amid the conflict.

There are 30 more Trump-pro-Ukraine points... I’ll send them here soon.

Exactly.

The Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to free this country from British bondage.

Maybe mommy could tell us about Martha Washington’s many shopping trips to Paris.

“ Most US weaponry costs for Ukraine stays in America.
It goes to the American workers, American industry, and the renovation of the entire American army. We get rid of a lot of old stuff (going to Ukraine) and getting new replacements.

America has also sent a lot of outdated ammo to Ukraine. That ammo was planned to be decommissioned for very high costs.
Instead, it’s being “sold” to Ukraine - crippling Americas worse enemy alliance (Iran-Russia-North Korea) in the process.

It’s not a win-win situation.
It’s a win-win-win situation for America.”
*********************************************

Wow! We should increase our Ukraine expenses TEN-FOLD or even TWENTY-FOLD.

Yep. The only thing keeping them from comparing their “Saint” Zelensky to Jesus Christ is they know they’d be booted off this site.

The Ukraine did some of that, and when their handlers in NATO realized they could not win, their attention turned to negotiating, in order to have something left to try to force regime change in Russia in the future. It may be that Ukraine's neighbors divide up what's left of NATO's proxy.
