Slowly learning who is who. DPR is the separatist militia, distinct from Russia. 'til now Lancaster has been on the separatist side of town. Now he's with the loyalists, and the Azov militia has been gone since March 29 from this district.

They claim that none of the warring forces coming through here have treated anyone badly, though people have been killed. The Russians gave them bread, which they hadn't seen in weeks.

The beach is mined.

1,000 Ukie Marines just surrendered in Mariupol. The Donbass provinces will now be targeted. Just learning?
The Donbass provinces are ethnic Russian, and declared their Independence from Ukraine in 2015. The Ukies signed the Minsk agreements to allow them their Independence, but then started shelling them for 8 years…one of the reasons Vlad went into Ukraine.
Zelensky knows this, and permitted the Azov territorial army ( Neo Nazi’s) to go to war with them, he did nothing to stop the Donbass shelling and bombing.
Vlad will secure their Independence, then go to the negotiating table.

Vlad can now mop up, and finally secure the Independent Donbass provinces.

Should not take to much longer, with that, his stated objectives will be met.
Let’s hope they can finally get to the negotiating table.

Looks like the battle for Eastern Ukraine is going to come down to hordes of Russian manpower and vehicles versus hordes of High Tech Western weaponry. Russia has spent the last few weeks pumping into troops and the West has been burying the Ukrainians with Stingers and other high tech hardware. Lets face it, this is a war between NATO and Russia in all but name, we’re arming the Ukrainians, we’re training them, we’re giving them intelligence and satellite imagery. All they are doing is pushing the fire button.

***You mean like North & South Korea? They never did end that conflict. Technically a state of war still exists. And now that the Norks are developing Nukes it is a real issue.

I think it is likely that Ukraine will develop their own nukes as well. They have 15 nuke power plants, the learnings from Chernobyl, plenty of nuke engineers, the nuke materials and now they have the motivation. These 2 invasions would never have happened if the Ukes had kept their nukes and walked away from the Budapest Agreement.

It is in the Ukes’ best interest not to sign any more treaties. As soon as they sign sovereignty away, they are the invaders when they come in and take it back.

Don’t be to sure.Kadyrov and Ivan’s have loads of video of Javelins and stingers they have captured. In fact, Kadyrov was thanking Senile Joe for all the booty, and asking for more.
Of course, western MSM will not mention that. Having worked in Moscow training Vlad for three years, I can access Russian videos. Propaganda you might say? Well, go to Serbian, Bulgarian and a Indian news sources, they confirm much is being captured , and much is being destroyed as they enter the country near Poland.
Do you have any idea the distance the arms have to travel across Ukraine to reach Donbass? Even our DOD stated Vlad is using 50-70 cruise missiles a DAY accurately hitting the Ukies arms and shipment centers.
Kadyrov is on record with some convincing video showing all the booty he has captured around Mariupol.
Fact: don’t believe western MSM, dig deeper and access Bulgarian ( NATO) news sources, Serbian and Indian news, they are painting a very different picture.

Riafan.ru for much more accurate war maps and daily updates.
If you don’t read Russian, use google translater, but you are out of luck listening to the real time video.
You decide…..Sorry, Vlad is winning.

They were Soviet nukes they inherited when the Ukies claimed their Independence in 1991. The US and EU convinced them to get rid of them for security guarantees, how did that work out?

As shallow as the Azov fanbois. Even more insipid than the pootie puffers.

Once the battle is over — and Russia will likely prevail — the fun really begins: Insurrection and partisan and guerilla warfare. Russia will not prevail in that conflict.

Here’s also the Drone footage of the ‘Azovstal complex’ in Mariupol, - the last remaining zone of resistance, where the Azov Ukraine|ian NationalGurd regiment is making its last stand against the #Russia|n and DNR forces.

It’s a very large complex.

Putain is a monster. He is no friend of ours.
Ukraine deserves its freedom
Joe Bidet is dragging his feet with aid because he wants Putain to broker an agreements with Iran for him.

As to the complex - We are talking almost 12 square km, 47 large workshops, 81 other large administrative buildings, the place goes down 9 levels, with a widespread tunnel network, etc.

The whole of the Utube interviews are conducted with a Russian/DPR bias as are the people interviewed.

They make no bones about their hatred of the Ukrainian people and government wanting to be part of the DPR and Russia.

Pro-Pootie propaganda.

The Donbass provinces are ethnic Russian…

While 75% of Donetsk Oblast and 69% of Luhnask Oblasts speak Russian, only 39% and 38% of the respective oblasts are ethnically Russian; they are majority Ukrainian.

and declared their Independence from Ukraine in 2015.

Independence was declared by a Russian supported militia group that had occupied the eastern part of Donbass.

Ukies signed the Minsk agreements to allow them their Independence

The Minsk agreements called for autonomy in a Donbass reintegrated into Ukraine, not independence. Prior to this, in 1994 Russia had signed an agreement to recognize the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. Russia violated this agreement when it invaded Crimea and supported an armed revolt among the ethnic Russian minority in Donbass.

Let us not fool ourselves, Russia's invasion is not about protecting the ethnic Russians, it is about reacquiring territories lost to the old Russian state. Putin, like many other Russians, has been clear that he does not recognize Ukraine as a legitimate state.
