Zelensky: Russian offensive in Donbas could ‘make the region uninhabited’
Breitbart ^ | 05/26/2022 | Chole Folmar

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a presidential address given Thursday that violence by Russian troops in the Donbas region of Ukraine could eventually “make the region uninhabited.”

“The current offensive of the occupiers in Donbas can make the region uninhabited. They want to burn Popasna, Bakhmut, Lyman, Lysychansk and Severodonetsk to ashes. Like Volnovakha, like Mariupol,” Zelensky warned.

He added: “All this, including the deportation of our people and the mass killings of civilians, is an obvious policy of genocide pursued by Russia.”

He could be right. There’s places in France that’s still uninhabitable because of all the ordinance spent.
They’re called “red zones” iirc.

What did money received for a desperate war effort have to do with the devastation caused by Russia?

They need the arms to kill as many Russian pigs as possible.

And they can get all the money from Europe for arms as the Europeans have mooched off of the U.S. long enough, Ukraine is their backyard, the U.S. is 30 trillion in debt, $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities, we are dealing with rising crime, an unsecured border, and Americans are tired of funding wars and unending interventionism.

“Zelensky: Russian offensive in Donbas could ‘make the region uninhabited’”

Why should he care, it’s lost to him.

As it is, in the liberated areas, the refugees are now returning from Russia and Russia is rebuilding them.

But if the Neocons keep their crap up, he’ll find Russia not interested in helping to rebuild, after Russia levels Kiev.

“Russian troops in the Donbas region of Ukraine could eventually “make the region uninhabited.”

The Russian army will keep killing until the Ukrainians tire of dying. And then succumb to their inevitable fate.

No matter how much the children wish otherwise, this will be the outcome.

Old theme: Russia is losing and has lost 100,000 troops and 1000 generals.

New theme: Russia advancing and taking ground but turning the place into a zombie land!!!!

The Ukrainian government has been shelling Donbas for eight years. No wonder it's a disaster.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the situation at the frontlines in the Donbas is dire. “Bakhmut, Popasna, Severodonetsk — it’s in these directions that the occupiers have concentrated their efforts. They’re slaughtering people there and trying to destroy all life. No one has ever caused so much damage to the Donbas as Russian soldiers are inflicting right now,” Zelensky said, summarizing the 89th day of the war. “Russia has effectively thrown the entire remaining might of its army at this offensive,” he added, the next day.

Presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych has described the course of the war even more grimly, warning that the Russian military has outpaced Ukraine’s Armed Forces. “The Russian side managed to build up its reserves sooner,” he told Mark Feygin in a YouTube broadcast on May 25, detailing Russia’s apparent plans to create “a new Mariupol” by encircling Ukraine’s troops in the Donbas:

“They’re trying to break through here, from Vrubivka, and to cut off the road in the area of Berestove. That’s one of the main goals — to disrupt the supply links between Bakhmut and Lysychansk. If you look at Siversk, you’ll see a little ‘pocket’ along the railway that they’re trying to close, from Siversk to Berestove. So, there’s a little ‘pocket’ forming, which Yampil, Siversk, Popasna, Vrubivka… And they’re closing it, and Lysychansk and Severodonetsk remain surrounded. That’s their main goal right now — to create a ‘new Mariupol.’

“Continuous artillery and air strikes, almost nonstop ground attacks by the enemy. They have superiority in artillery and aviation. To put it mildly, we’re barely afloat.”

In addition to the encirclement of the Donbas, Arestovych also predicts that Russia will increase its pressure along the Kherson-Zaporizhia line, north of Crimea. Further north, Russia could even mount another assault on Kyiv itself. Vadim Skibitsky, the spokesman for Ukraine’s Intelligence Main Directorate, has corroborated these concerns, saying that Russia is moving troops from Crimea to the Kherson region and occupied parts of Zaporizhia. “They’re preparing the necessary engineering structures and planning not just one or two but three lines of defense. It’s these military indicators that suggest Russia’s intentions to seize and hold these territories,” explained Skibitsky.

In an interview with Ukrayinska Pravda, the commander of Ukraine’s “Svoboda” volunteer battalion, Petro Kuzyk, said Russian troops likely plan to capture Severodonetsk by the same means they used to take the city of Rubizhne in mid-May, essentially by wiping it off the face of the Earth with a constant barrage of artillery. “On average,” explained Kuzyk, “they fire between 20 and 50 shots for every one of our shells”:

“They hammer our positions with artillery, and their infantry advances under artillery cover, sometimes together with tanks. As a rule, their infantry suffers losses, retreats, and then the artillery goes back to work, before another two or three infantry assaults.

“Using these massive artillery bombardments, the Russians are able to advance, since they are destroying our positions, our trenches, and our buildings, step by step… And they’re under orders to level Ukrainian cities.”

“New theme: Russia advancing and taking ground but turning the place into a zombie land!!!!”

It’s the Orc’s new plan: Use concentrated artillery to elimate all living things in a selected area, then rush infantry in.
