Collapse: The Ukrainians lost 3 stronghold cities in Donbass - A time of crisis for thousands of soldiers!
War news 24/7 ^ | 18 mar 22 | Vassilis Kapoulas

Today could be a milestone day as the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost three major strongholds in the Donbass region and all indications are that the area is beginning to be completely handed over to the Russian Army.

See below in the maps how the situation in the region is developing, which is now very critical and irreversible for the Ukrainian Army.

The Ukrainians lost 3 cities

Russian forces occupy the city of Chuhuiv near Kharkov, the Americans have confirmed that the Ukrainians have lost the city of Izuym, something that has been revealed by WarNews247 for days. Finally, the Ukrainian Army lost the city of Rubizhne.

The city of Rubezhnoe is one of the three cities in Donbass that was the backbone of Ukraine's defense. The loss is a huge blow... The town of Chuguyev is located in southeastern Kharkiv along a major highway. It is a strategic point that connects the Russian forces in Kharkov with the forces in Donbas.

Note here that there is unconfirmed information that the Russian Army is also controlling the city of Marinka with the Ukrainian forces having retreated towards Uglyadar.

The Americans note about the city of Izyum that "it is a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and now the danger of their encirclement is visible".

Thanks for what seems to be a rare clear view these days; I’m not trusting what anybody says about anything these days, but you seem to have some objectivity here. Good luck keeping it, and do continue to contribute!

time will tell if it is propaganda or fact.

The only fact is Ukraine is being turned into ruble, I keep hearing war, war, war, not negotiations, peace. Something stinks.
All I need to know is Soros, a globalist, has repeatedly said he is financing the Ukies. Don’t get sucked in, this war agenda makes the Covid scam look like a cheap novel.

Just a thought on Eastern Europe and NATO; do you think it conceivable that some of the countries formerly under the Soviet thumb would form an alliance of their own, independent of NATO, having their own reasons for distrusting Russia and not wanting to be dependent on Western Europe’s comparative wishy-washiness? I’ve never heard it suggested.

In fact, it’s not. What you are saying is a widespread delusion, based on the fact that the Western governments have their operators under a liberal ticket in Russia who are telling them these lies to keep funding.

Regarding this Ukraine thing the original reaction of the majority Russians was WTF, but then the Western leaders came out with condemnation, promising to throw them into a stone age, the online services and banking started to disappear and all the anger was redirected to the source of trouble.

Today about 80-85% support this thing due to this instant of miscommunication and I think the russian perception of the West is damaged for a couple generations to come.

The UK is nurturing such alliance with Poland as a senior sidekick. I think it is now dead in the water as Germany and France are mulling the EU army.

If it was me, I wouldn’t be wasting much men and resources defending the breakaway areas.

True, another truth, Yavoriv, Delyatyn, Mykolaiv and Zhytomy all sites used as NATO/ US training areas have been destroyed by Ivan’s cruise missiles. They were also sites used to train the influx of foreign fighters.

Vlad is doing what he said he would do. It is called “ demilitarization “, read his speech. Vlad, like Trump are powerful leaders, they do what they say they will do.

The Donbass provinces are on the verge of encirclement, per Ukraine MOD, when that happens they retreat to the Dniepner, that is when I suspect Zelensky will call uncle, and finally go to the table. If not, Vlad is in position to take Kiev, which has been a non issue until he secures the east and southern provinces…..there is no instant gratification in war.

Xi is also observing the situation in the Ukraine. If he has any intention to attack Russia, now is the time while Russian Army is perceived to be weak. He may never have another chance to conquer his neighbor and thereby become #1 in the communist world. No honor among Commies.

I think Ze is deciding nothing and don’t have any control.

Zelenski has totally lost control. The Azov Nazis are perpetrating a reign of terror in Mariupol against civilians.

Testimony of Mariupol residents: Azov Batallion executed civilians trying to escape the city.

More witnesses from Mariupol saying that Azov Batallion executed civilians trying to find a way out of the city.

Another testimony of the massacres and criminal behaviour of Azov Batallion in Mariupol.

More witnesses of Azov crimes. Azov Batallion nazis shelled civilian buildings.

Azov Batallion fighters keep civilians hostages in a house.

There's tons more where those came from.

Freedom from the psychopathic globohomo digital dicktaters is a victory.

Check back with me in a few years when you and I end up on the wrong side of the Digital Curtain.

And if you don't understand what I'm talking about - ask a cancelled Canadian trucker.

I know that was a really really really long time ago, so you'll have to search your memory about how that went down.

“Ukraine is losing badly”

When their propagandists masturbate furiously over unconfirmed news about taking some 2nd rate town, you know the reds really fucked up.

Tells us a lot about the caliber of Russian “allies” - the very same Muslim extremist terrorists Russia was gassing out of theaters a couple of decades ago - are now allies...

One of our most loyal allies is a country that we nuked twice.

Impossible! The Atlantic and various Soros fluffers here say Russia is losing, badly. And oh yeah, Putin Bad! Ukraine good!

(They’re both rotten, corrupt countries. Ukraine tried to take out Trump. I don’t care about either, bur it would be cool if both lose and all the Biden (Mitt, Linda, McCstain...) corruption finally came out.)

Thank you for map. The MSM war cheerleaders need a visual as none Of the cheerleaders I have talked know what the Ukrainian Seperatists are. A primary reason he invaded Ukraine.
Pray for the Russian and Ukrainian people.
