DONETSK OBLAST, Ukraine — The ambulances hurtled into the parking lot one after the other, each carrying wounded troops directly from the nearby front line. One young man stared straight ahead, his face swollen, his neck and back dripping with blood. Others lay silently under foil blankets.
Some stumbled out the back doors and collapsed into wheelchairs as staff rushed to push them inside. Nearby, bloodied cots sat propped against a tent and other wounded soldiers lingered about, their faces grim, their heads, arms or legs bandaged as the sound of outgoing artillery boomed across the sky.
About 10 wounded soldiers arrived at this hospital in eastern Ukraine in less than an hour Sunday morning — the latest military casualties as Ukraine forces, outgunned by Russia in the country’s east, continue to lose territory at a critical moment in the war.
Soldiers also helped one civilian woman with leg wounds out of a military ambulance.
The Washington Post is withholding the name and precise location of the hospital out of concerns from staff that it could be targeted by Russian forces.
“Seventy people from my battalion were injured in the last week,” said a soldier and ambulance driver just outside the hospital gates who identified himself only as Vlad, 29. “I lost too many friends; it’s hard for me. I don’t know how many. ... It’s getting worse every day.”
The night before, he said, the shelling was so loud he hardly got any sleep. “It’s all artillery bombing down,” he said. “All the wounded are coming from shrapnel. Most guys in the trenches haven’t even seen the enemy face-to-face.”

The goofy wanna be Ukes go around calling everyone Orcs. Makes me laugh at them. They are official.
I think I’ve learned which so called Americans will try to get us to divert our attention to a situation halfway across the world when indeed we’re already being attacked from within by the same goblins that have orchestrated the war in Ukraine.
Once again with the inane comments that reflect your love of those kind, gentle, helpful, beloved Orcs who only kill civilians because they are known to be Nazis and take their children back to Mother Russia to be reared in a proper environment. Such saviors!
How are the Russians and Putin a threat to us?
Our border has been wide open for 2 years and we have ZERO idea of who is crossing it. We have no co trio over the fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, meth, etc etc coming over it.
There’s a scene in the movie, Traffic, where the snitch explains the process. Border Patrol finds one truck loaded with drugs, 10 more cross the border while they take pictures.
The meth and cocaine come from central/South America. Heroin and fentanyl from China and Asia. I don’t Russia in the equation
A d that’s exactly what they want you to believe. They being Schwab, Soros and the rest of the globalist puppet masters
A story on the FR said a third of the armaments sent to the Ukraine were already on the black market in Croatia
This gotta be fake; I’m sure I can still find a link to a story that says that a third is on the market in Albania.
Unless it is a different third, of course....
You need to stop lying. There is no more Soviet Union. I doubt Ukrainians would rather die. Speak for yourself.
Hence one of the many reasons Pres Trump took the trip to Vietnam, South Korea and India. Get those countries to take over what is made in China and starve the Beast.
Nope……Congress and the Globalists wouldn’t allow that.
I’ve been lurking on these Ukraine threads for the last few months and I’d guess the most rabid anti-Russian posters are old Cold Warriors, probably in their 80s age-wise, who are still stuck in the 60’s Cold War. They are still fighting the Soviets while the rest of the world has moved on.
It’s like the old WWII vets who hated all things Japanese to the day they died because the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. You’d never get one of them to admit that a Datsun, Toyota, or Honda was in any way superior to their Vega or Pinto. Admitting anything Japanese was good let alone buying from them was “un-American.”
Outside of FR, the most rabid Anti-Russia folks are leftists who never forgave Russia for ending their beloved Soviet Union, and think the Fascists now run Russia.
Citizens in Donbas and Luhansk have been hammered by Azov and Ukrop shelling far longer
Is that not newsworthy
Anyone care to compare death counts since it’s all the rage
More kook talk while Russia and China eat your lunch.
The US is providing arms to Ukraine under a Lend-Lease agreement. Chatter from some of my friends at the five side funny farm is the US wants to lease a naval base at Crimea which will allow the US a permanent presense in the Black Sea.
“Citizens in Donbas and Luhansk have been hammered by Azov and Ukrop shelling far longer”
True.
But I think the scale of the Russian artillery alone is newsworthy.
Who bombs more innocents
No question who’s the culprit in the east
Russia we’ll it’s Russia
But has anyone looked at us
It’s not pretty either
They don’t want to witness a repeat of the Holodomor, or be enslaved by Russia once again The Ukrainian SSR was slave to Russia and it was never envisioned that it would break up*.
*Anatoly Golitsyn has written that the Soviet Union’s demise was controlled, and there are plans to bring it back.
Perhaps we can also lease a base in Hong Kong as well once the British get it back. Taipei will do for now, though.
How do the British “get it back” when HK was just leased to them?
“What a bunch of immoral anti American jerks.”

The Ukrainians in Sievierodonetsk are anti-American?
Laughable. It’s been a Russian navy base since 1783. There isn’t enough force to push them out without hopefully getting DC nuked. We’d give up Norfolk sooner than they’d give up Crimea. Get serious for once.
