Technically yes, but it is outside of where the DNR has controlled. The DNR/LNR only control 1/3rd of the land they claim, a very small section near the border. The full 3/3rd is a big chunk of Ukraine, and it includes this city which is also an important port.

They wanted the port really bad in 2014, but the Ukrainians pushed the Ukrainians back to their present “borders”.

Yeah, there is no invasion, there is no bombing, there is no gigantic army moving in from 3 directions.

He’s obsessed with Ukraine- truly obsessed. He’s convinced no country has ever invaded another one unless provoked- until now. Not sure where that leaves Hitler- but he says this is the worst thing ever...

I’m not a fan of Putin- but it seems to me China is a larger threat by a long shot.

He’s not to be trusted BTW. He went off the rails with Covid and showed his true colors.

Oh well, so much for Ukraine joining NATO. Looks like Putin will have it settled on the ground within a day or two.

Agree. But Germany wants us to shed our blood and treasure for their d@mned energy.

“Is that a SECURITY BREECH?“

How? The Russians know if that are firing artillery, and trust me, the Ukrainians know if they are receiving artillery fire.

For artillery, it is much better to give than to receive. Been there, done that, I tried to become one with a t-wall during a nasty mortar attack on FOB Warhorse back in ‘11.

Just read the same. This is spiraling out of control quickly.

Thanks for responding to something I didn’t say. I don’t want American soldiers to be fighting the Ruskies, but I believe Tsar Vladimir wants to reconstitute the Russian Empire (with the possible exception of Alaska). Is there any point at which other nations should fight back, militarily or otherwise?

Is there a Ukraine wargame thread?

I would go to Odessa first, from Crimea, and work up to Donetsk through Mariupol.
