Putin Abruptly Replaces Top Commander on Critical Ukraine Frontline
Newsweek ^ | 12/13/2024 | James Bickerton

The Kremlin has appointed Lieutenant General Andrei Ivanayev as commander of the Vostok Battalion group of forces, which is leading the assault in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, according to state affiliated media.

The popular Ukrainian military Telegram channel Country Politics, which has more than 290,000 followers, reported Ivanayev's appointment on Friday suggesting it was tied to a visit by Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov to the region.

Over the past year, Russian forces have made grueling but steady advances in the Donbas, which President Putin formally annexed as part of Russia in September 2022 though his troops only partially control it. However this has taken place at a massive cost to Russia.

Three years into his war, soviet war against Nazi germany lasted just over 3 1/2 years

The Russians lost 27 million in WW II. Including the DPR, LPR, Checens and Wagner group, total Russian causalities, according to the BBC/Mediazona, is 120,000.

The meat grinder, slow approach saves Russian lives.

Russian Derangement Syndrome makes one a babbling idiot.

Yes, retaliatory for Ukraine using long-term missiles and hitting Russian territory.

The Russians could, if they wanted to: 1) Take out the entire electric grid in Ukraine or 2) start destroying government buildings in Kiev.

The most certainly have been holding back.

Poor Mucus, he can't Lie fast enough AND keep the speed up on his Special Ukraine Sock!

US General Milley said the "3 days to Kyiv" before anyone else.

Gen. Milley says Kyiv could fall within 72 hours

Why Gen. Milley’s Ukraine War Prediction Missed by a Mile

Sergei Shoigu laid out the plan in September 2022.

You must not have been paying attention.

Even Marxist Maximum knows General twinkle toes Milley stated that tripe, Milley was just as ill informed as Maximum. He states that falsehood just to get a response….laughable.

He is a product of buying into senile Joe’s false Ukie narrative…as we have been witnessing…..but then there are many. Post war analysis will uncover all their lies, and omissions.

You are kidding right? Entire might,? Not even a sliver. If the entire might of the US and NATO was directed towards Russia, it would be over and not in Putins favor .

Not Regardless, however, I will answer your question about Plan(s).

Because of so much Disinformational Propaganda by Zeepers and both sides of the Ukraine war, I cannot confirm the actual Russian Battle Plan or it's modifications, if any.

Very Fortunately this is not an issue for me because I Don't Care.

I have, however, been able to sift the information and sources about the US/NATO/Globalist/EU/UN Battle Plan.

That Battle Plan has been quite successful since 1998, with the exception of the constantly declining trust of the US Citizenry (and the rest of the world) in the US Government, Mainstream Media, and American Prog Liberal Socialists (with the exception of the Trump 45 Administration.

Regarding this Battle Plan, I Do Care, because the targets of attack are Legacy Constitutional America, Legacy America Supporting Citizens, Christian Values, and American Patriots.

I do Pray for the Defeat of this Battle Plan.

What’s the risk, Ukraine is winnnniiiiing.

Perfect response, for the first time in a long time we don’t have service members fighting in a war for another country. Ukraine is not asking for them, but you know this and your comment is juvenile

Both can be valid, trying to restore the basic values of this country, and I believe Trump and his team will work towards this, and the defeat of an invading country and the instability it produces.
