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.

Meanwhile, Ukraine sits in darkness, and Vlad continues gobbling up territory.

……I am awaiting Vlad’s response to the US’s long range missile attack into Russia two days ago…..turning off the Ukies electricity is most likely NOT his full response. Vlad still holds all the cards.

In Ukraine, the lights are turned off in an emergency: half the country was turned off due to a retaliatory strike

On December 13, the Russian army launched another retaliatory strike against Ukraine, including energy facilities. Emergency restrictions have been tightened in the country — half of the country has fallen under them.

"The volume of restrictions has been increased today," Ukrenergo reports. The operator explained that the Russian army struck at the power facilities of Ukraine. Previously, it was planned that one-time outages would extend to two queues of consumers out of six, but now three queues have already fallen under them, the TOK telegram channel reports.

Ternopil regional military administration reported that half of the region was left without electricity. DTEK has published new shutdown schedules: the strongest may be in the Kiev region, where in some hours there will be four queues of consumers out of six at once without electricity.

Mother Russia caught the clap in Syria and fled home for treatment. Except...... the imported antibiotics aren’t available any more. Nobody will accept worthless Rubles in payment.

The closer it gets to January 20th, the more unhinged the Putin loyalists become.

Three years into his war, (the) soviet war against Nazi Germany lasted just over 3 1/2 years.

With the entire Might of the United States Of America Allied with The Soviet Union.

This war has the entire Might of Democrat Deep Swamp Of America, Prog Socialist EU Tyranny, Money Grubbing NATO, Globalist Pedo Blue Helmet UN, and Muslim Terrorist Migrants, Allied with Nazi Ukraine.

Your commendation of Putin is noted.
