Ukraine Troops Retreat From Popasna, Luhansk Governor Confirms
USNEWS ^

Posted on 05/11/2022 10:24:58 PM PDT by ganeemead

A recent sitrep showed something remarkable i.e. RF forces taking the town of Papasna. That drives a wedge straight through the main defensive line of the ukie forces in the western side of Donbas. Russians might possible could drive straight through and spread out behind the ukies, not sure but it looks like that might be the idea.

I've read that the defences are in depth.

Read about Kursk some time. Same part of the world, too.

You didn’t post the date of the article which is 5 days ago. So where is this breakthrough since then?

Article says they did not take Popasna.
The head of Russia's republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, had said on Sunday his troops had taken control of most of Popasna.

Check the link for the Saker. It answers your questions and more. Or you can just blindly believe whatever the mainstream media or Daily Mail tells you.

War of attrition. Spectators who expect quick breakthroughs will be disappointed.

Thanks for pointing out that ganeemead not only changed the headline, failed to post the date of the article, but also added a link to the article text field that is not from the article. Who else do you think I should believe?

Are you for real? You posted links from Newsweek and State run France 24 when it suited you.
Btw, why do you hate Jewish people?
A Network of the Kremlin’s Obedient Followers
The Saker of the Vineyard is a blog by a retired Swiss Red Cross officer, residing in Florida and defending Russia against an enigmatic Empire. The Saker has become a franchise for an international network of pro-Kremlin outlets, with branches in German, Italy, Latin America, and Russia. A Saker is a sort of falcon, falco cherrug, endemic to the steppes of Eurasia. The name of the blog is an anagram of the blogger’s name.

The Saker connects Russian nationalist groups and outlets with North American anti-Semite groups; Russian communists with French and Italian right-wing activist. Devote Christians with aggressive thugs. It’s a successful franchise in disinformation.

The weakness of Russia’s logistics limits the potential for follow through. The main significance may be interdiction of the road that runs north and south and parallel to the front. Such a line of communication would otherwise be of considerable value to Ukraine’s forces.

The Saker has a ready answer to anyone suggesting that the above claim is a racist, anti-Semite remark:

I don’t care.
