❗️🇬🇧🇺🇦The offensive of the allied forces near Popasna: the situation as of 21.00 on May 19, 2022
10 days after the fall of one of the most powerful fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass in Popasna , the allied forces broke through the enemy’s defenses in several directions at once. The Ukrainian front began to crumble.
The network has already aptly dubbed what happened the “opened flower of Popasna”: and if you look at the map, this is true. If near Zaporizhia , Liman and Izyum , successes at the front stopped, then in the west of the Lugansk People’s Republic, the enemy’s lines are formed one after another.
▪️After the cleansing of Popasnaya, the Wagner PMC assault groups continued their offensive in the direction of Soledar to the west. Having connected the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the defense units in Tripoli , the “musicians” opened the way to Vladimirovka for the allies along the front.
Russian units of the Airborne Forces managed to go around Tripoli and take Vladimirovka by the morning of May 19. By evening , Tripoli fell: the advanced groups of the “orchestra” entered there.
The highway Bakhmut (Artemovsk) - Lisichansk is blocked by the fire of the allied forces. Soledar is three kilometers away.
In order to establish full control over the main supply route for the AFU grouping in the Lisichansk-Severodonetsk-Rubizhnoye agglomeration, the allied forces will have to take fortified positions on the commanding heights north of Vladimirovka and Tripoli.
After that, the only way to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be the Lisichansk-Seversk road, shot through from the eastern bank of the Seversky Donets.
▪️Another direction of the Wagner PMC offensive is south, towards Troitsky . If in 2015 this fortified area could not be taken during the battles for Debaltseve , then on May 19, 2022, the settlement fell.
▪️Units of the RF Armed Forces are advancing north of Popasnaya . Fierce fighting began in the south of Kamyshevakhi . Having rounded the fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the west, Russian units took the small village of Viktorovka , occupied the railway station of Kamyshevakh and continued their advance to the north. Kamyshevakha was taken into a semicircle, and the RF Armed Forces were able to move north and enter Vrubovka , where a sweep is now underway.
▪️By the end of May 19, the road to Soledar was cut by the RF Armed Forces from the side of Popasnaya, the road to Lisichansk was cut by the People’s Militia of the LPR in Toshkovka . “Lugansk” attack enemy positions in Gorsky and Zolotoy from Toshkovka and Orekhovo , and the RF Armed Forces grinds the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south of Kamyshevakhi .
The Armed Forces of Ukraine can still break out of the encirclement along the country roads from Gorskoye and move across the fields in the direction of Lisichansk. Now, in the crucible of battle, the last reserves at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being ground: territorial defense detachments from western Ukraine, units deployed from under Izyum, and the remnants of the 24th Ombre that had previously retreated from Popasna.
In the event of a full-fledged closure of the Popasnensky Cauldron, from five to eight thousand Ukrainian servicemen will be surrounded.

The Russian-Allied Offensive from Popasnaya, SitRep as of May 19, 2022
1—Within a mere ten days after the fall of Popasnay—the most important and most fortified stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass—the Allied forces have breached the Ukrainian defences in multiple directions along four separate vectors fanning out of Popasnaya to the north, northwest, west, and south. The Ukrainian front is crumbling.

2—After the mop-up of Popasnaya, units of PMC Wagner continued the offensive in the northwestern direction, along the railway lines toward the settlement Druzhba and onward to Soledar. The forward advance of the Wagner units pinned and blockaded the Ukrainian Army and territorial defence troops in Tripolye and opened the path for the Russian elite VDV (paratrooper) units to progress to Vladimirovka.
3—Where it took several days to move beyond Druzhba, the settlements of Tripolye and Vladimirovka fell in rapid succession on May 19, 2022. First success came from the VDV units that bypassed Tripolye and secured Vladimirovka by the morning of May 19. The Wagner troops took control of Tripolye by the evening on the same day. Finally, advance units of the Allied offensive are reported to have taken Novaya Kamenka, putting them essentially on the outskirts of Soledar.
4—A key section of the Soledar-Lisichansk lifeline supplying the Ukrainian troops in the northeastern corner of the forming Donbass cauldron is now under barrage fire control of the Allied troops. The Ukrainian military grouping in the Severodonetsk-Lisichansk urban agglomeration is in operational encirclement. To secure the rapid success of the offensive, the Allied troops have to take control over reinforced position on the strategic heights neighbouring Vladimirovka and Tripolye to the north. After this objective is achieved, the only supply line remaining to the trapped Ukrainian troops will run along the Lisichansk-Seversk path—a route that is already under artillery fire control by the Russian forces from the north bank of the Seversky Donets river that weaves through the area.
5—The second direction of the offensive being conducted by the Wagner units is to the south, in the direction of Troitskoye, and, from there, to the Svetlodarsk arc and the city of Svetlodarsk itself. As of the end of May 19, 2022, Troitskoye fell to the advancing Allied forces. This objective could not be achieved by the Donbass armies in the Battle for Debaltsevo in 2015, which left the Ukrainian army in control of the key defensive Svetlodarsk arc wedged between the DNR stronghold of Gorlovka and the LNR administrative border with its sister Republic. Just like the Ukrainian salient in Debaltsevo (eliminated as a result of the Donbass armies victory in the Battle of Debaltsevo), the Ukrainian presence Svetlodarsk arc, in the years that followed, created a clear and present danger of Ukrainian forces splitting the communication lines between the Republics in a future offensive.
6—The offensive to the north of Popasnaya, in the direction of Kamyshevakha and Vrubovka, is an area of responsibility that was assigned to regular Russian units. The intention here is to secure Vrubovka with a view to securing an additional zone of control over the Lisichansk-Soledar Ukrainian supply line, as well as to close the lid on the mini-cauldron containing the Ukrainian stronghold in the area of Zolotoye-Gorskoye. The early reports of Vrubovka having been taken were premature. However, by the end of May 19, 2022, Kamyshevakha had been taken into a semi-circle by the Russian units, with heavy fighting ongoing in its southern part. The Allied units that bypassed Kamyshevakha from the west took co0ntrol of the small village of Viktorovka and the Kamyshevakha railroad station, and then proceeded to Vrubovka. The mop-up operations in Vrubovka are now underway.

7—To the east and northeast of the Zolotoye-Gorskoye stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the units of the LNR People’s Militia advanced along two lines of the offensive, seeking to take control of and Orekhovo and Toshkovka. While Orekhovo was reported to have been taken some days ago, the battle for Toshkovka is currently still ongoing, despite early reports of the fall of the Ukrainian defences in the settlement. Success in this sector will cut off the direct lines of retreat to Lisichansk for the Ukrainian grouping in the Zolotoye-Gorskoye area. The Ukrainian units could still break out of the forming mini-cauldron by using rural and bypass roads and then moving through the fields to Lisichansk, but any such retreat would simply bring them to yet another trap.
8—The Allied forces are grinding out the last remaining reserves available to the Ukrainian army in the area: the territorial defence reinforcements brought in from Western Ukraine and the remnants of the 24th Ukrainian brigade, which was crushed and retreated from Popasnaya with significant losses. As of the end of May 19, 2022, the Allied forces had established artillery fire control over the Soledar-Lisichansk supply line and are close to cutting off the communications between Zolotoye-Gorskoye and Lisichansk. The only direction of the offensive where success has been limited is the attack to the west on Pilipchatino—along the main route from Popasnaya to Artyomovsk (Bakhmut)—the reports of early success in which were premature.
9—Altogether, between 5,000 and 8,000 Ukrainian troops may be trapped in the Zolotoye-Gorskoye mini-cauldron once it is close shut. The estimates of the total Ukrainian military presence in the Severodonetsk-Popasnaya corner of the Donbass operational cauldron range between 15,000 and 20,000, according to various reports and estimates.

Ukraine’s 4 star general for the last two weeks has been begging Zelensky to give approval to withdraw the troops. Zelensky has said no.
Severodonetsk Cauldron Update:
The supply of the Ukrainian grouping in Severodonetsk has been cut off—the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has asked for permission to withdraw the troops.
Zaluzhny reported to Zelensky about the beginning of street fighting in the next few days in Severodonetsk and asked the president to give the green light to the withdrawal of troops from the city so as not to repeat the fate of Azovstal.

Can you tell me why we are in this?
Thanks
C’mon Man!
Riddle me this- then why are the Ukes desperately blowing up bridges to stop the “Russian advance”?
It is almost time for Zelensky to draft twelve year old boys and send them to the front....
:-(
To the Biden/Soros crowd, that means you tremble at the sight of Putin’s rippling biceps and want to smooch him on the lips or some such nonsense.
They sure are an obsessed, projecting lot.
Did the $$$ ever go to the weapons or to our overlords.
We are being vultures
The Duran video I linked above talked about the mass surrenders that are taking place and lots of reports on telegram channels about that, too.
Everyone expected this to happen; but not so quickly.
“You losers in the “Pro-Ukraine AgitProp Brigade” are regularly posting blatant Propaganda from the Daily Mail and you have the temerity to accuse anyone else of the same crime?”
Come on, Sparky. Show me where I’ve posted ANY propaganda link. I don’t do that. I have NEVER started a thread. I read the propaganda from both sides. The difference is that you guys accept as FACT anything from a Russian source (and the Russians mastered propaganda a hundred years ago, at least; compared to the Russians, everyone else is a piker when it comes to propaganda). You don’t even realize you are being used as useful idiots.

Another report on the NATO command group in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, from @Legitimniy (also a Ukrainian “insider”-type Telegram channel).
Our source reports that the West is increasingly willing to control the entire Ukrainian crisis. Therefore, the Pentagon wants to introduce compulsory military control over the Ukrainian armed forces.
It is planned to deploy a special group of officers of the US armed forces in the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense. They will not only be advisers, but also have the authority to directly issue orders to Ukrainian units and formations, as well as cancel orders from the higher command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard. In case of refusal, Washington plans to delay funding and arms supplies to Kyiv.
The source adds that the Pentagon is extremely dissatisfied with the current level of military planning, as well as the organization of hostilities on the part of the Ukrainian command (it is one thing to sit in defence in cities, and quite another to go into the fields on a counteroffensive). This opinion is shared by the State Department and the Biden government.
Therefore, it is planned to deploy a group of high-ranking American military men with very broad powers in Ukraine. Formally, they will be advisers, but at the same time they will have the right to give orders to the Ukrainian forces, as well as cancel orders of the Ukrainian higher command.
But, according to our source, the Ukrainian General Staff is against such an appointment. They believe that the US military does not understand how to counter the Russians. And all the advice previously issued by the Pentagon ha led to failures at the front. That is, each side blames the other behind the scenes. So far, this whole story remains purely behind the scenes and a secret.
It is time to be rid of them.
They do not say an opinion on what it going on.
We have no place there outside of money laundering.
They know it.
Dishonest people who are aware of their action will never find favor in their life.
Lies, all lies. Ukraine is driving the Russians back to the streets of Moscow.
“But this raises another question. Ukraine is constantly recieving weapons and billion-dollar aid from the West… Where are they?”
Most likely sold to Africa.
The Ukes are being surrounded slowly. The troops know they are done for and they are done fighting.
They can’t get weapons because they are cut off and because the weapons are being destroyed or taken by Russians.
Face it, you have bought all the MSM lies.

The Importance of Severodonetsk: The conflict between the civilian and the military leadership of the Ukrainian regime.
[GB: The following is a selection of posts from the @Rezident_UA Ukrainian “insider” channel, which demonstrates the tug of war over the fate of Severodonetsk in the Ukrainian leadership—a contest in which Zelensky and NATO advisers inevitably prevailed.]
1—Our source in Zelensky’s administration said that a meeting was held in the Office of the President regarding the operational encirclement of Severodonetsk and the possible encirclement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Zaluzhny again asked for an order to withdraw troops to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, so as not to repeat the situation with Azovstal. The political leadership insists on keeping the city, which should become a new symbol of resistance and displace the surrender of Azovstal fighters in the information field.
2—Colleagues, we previously wrote that a group of advisers from NATO responsible for planning military operations has for a long time been operating in the Ukrainian General Staff. Recently, a strong confrontation has begun, due to the attitude of US generals towards our troops as cannon fodder, which is sent to slaughter on the eastern front. On this issue Zaluzhny disagreed with the political leadership of the country, which supports the opinion of NATO advisers.
3—Our source in Zelensky’s administration said that Zelensky met with Zaluzhny and ordered him to hold Severodonetsk at any cost. Ukraine now needs a new symbol of courage / heroism / resistance to Russian troops to keep the Eastern Front after the surrender of the defenders of Azovstal. Planners in Zelensky’s administration believe that the the Battle for Donbass depends on the fate of Severodonetsk.
“It looks like Ukrainian forces are collapsing in the Donbas.”
It’s rather clear. There are sides that are simply reporting on the war, and they say just what you’re saying.
The Donbas fighting will likely be over in a few days, but the REAL QUESTION is where does Russia go next? Odessa, or maybe West. Going to get interesting!
Oh crap! Here we go again.
I missed the whole day. Was up in a worse sh@t hole than the Peshekee today If you can imagine that.
You wouldnt believe dumb asses would build house up on the side of mountains like than and then scramble when a forest fire breaks out.
Must be all Californians. They tink dey are up dar eh?
C’Mon Man!
Don’t forget to hate Exxon/Mobile in the morning and praise you local windmill.
They announced a week ago that they were pulling out because the city had basically been destroyed and was indefensible they’re going to the suburbs to just murder the Russians. This is been in the news for a while you must be out of the loop or only watching Russian news
