Russian forces could be just weeks away from seizing control of the key Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine — as Ukrainian officials continued to appeal for more heavy weapons and ammunition from the West.
An unnamed senior US defense official told The Washington Post that the cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, which have seen some of the fiercest battles in recent weeks, could fall to Russia in the coming days.
Russia has been making steady gains in the strategically important Donbas region — comprised of Luhanks and Donetsk — by pounding the area with heavy artillery day after day and inflicting heavy casualties on the outnumbered and outgunned Ukrainian soldiers.

Sure. I remember when the Soviet Russian forces seized all of Ukraine in just three days.
Oh wait...
wait, what?
soviet union fell long ago when uke was part of it
That deranged, bloodthirsty thought process that occupies the paper thin skull of people like you is being stamped out.
Eliminated.
All of your repetitive, childish remarks are of no consequence and you will have nowhere to hide from reality.
Sure. As long we get back the more than 100 billion to prop up that Dem/WEF banking playground MASQUERADING As a country.
I think he’s a paid troll.
Free Republic is large enough and important enough, I believe, to get attention from the deep-state, intel agencies, and Democrats - with misinformation, trolls and agitators on particular issues. And Ukraine is an existential issue for the deep-state in DC.
What did Russia solve its Chinese tire problem?
“soviet union fell long ago when uke was part of it”
Putin brought back Soviet Russia as is illustrated by the Red Army being called the ‘Red Army’ again, the Red Army using the Soviet Red Banner as their battle flag, the use of Soviet iconography on government buildings, military uniforms, military medals, and etc.
Oleg Mikhailov, current member of the 8th Duma, introduced legislation this year to make the Red Banner the national flag of Soviet Russia and to replace the State Anthem of the Russian Federation with the State Anthem of the Soviet Union.
Soviet Russia never went away, it just took a break.
These are the two regions Russia recognized in 2014. These are the two regions that the Ukraine has shelled with artillery for 7-8 years. These are the two regions Russia stated liberation by special operation was about. When they capture the entire region, and it is safe from continued Ukrainian shelling, this war can and will end.
Yes, there is a small cadre of hard-core vote fraud deniers on FR, too.
They work in concert.
But they stay far, far away from 2000 Mules, Catherine Engelbrecht, Gregg Phillips and True The Vote threads...

Now let’s see you eliminate me, Chinga85.
Just for giggles, we should insist on being paid back in Rubles.
I swear we have seen more trolls on this site since 2020 than the first 15 years that I have been here.
The very first thing I always check is what date the member joined.
If you have a dog I bet it bites you. I’ll just ignore you and let you eliminate yourself.
I should feel bad for you but I don’t. Everything coming your way you deserve.
The Russians will want to obtain and retain all pro-Russian (as of 2022) areas of Ukraine.
Boris Johnson and the DC neocons may have queered that deal by insisting on "no negotiations".
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that the Crimea land bridge and its railroads are open for business.
“Conditions have been created for the resumption of full-fledged traffic between Russia, Donbass, Ukraine, and Crimea on six railway sections,” Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said in a statement. “Automobile communication has been opened from the territory of Russia along the mainland to Crimea.”
And Kherson.
Bad news for Nikolaev and Odessa, where the Russians have thrown back a Ukrainian counteroffensive with heavy losses for the Orkrainians.
I wonder if they get paid by post or by response. I find it best to ignore.
“Yes, there is a small cadre of hard-core vote fraud deniers on FR, too.”
Agreed. Some of them just can’t allow themselves to imagine vote fraud on a third world level occurring in the USA.
“But they stay far, far away from 2000 Mules, Catherine Engelbrecht, Gregg Phillips and True The Vote threads...”
Hate to say but I avoid these topics because they’re so filled with hopium like how DJT will be magically installed as President this year and the Democrats will just quietly step aside for him. I also notice a lot of these folks discuss the ‘prophecies’ of various televangelists who advocate Jesus returning to earth and having angels march Trump into the White House.
Despite my disagreements with you about Russia/Ukraine I’d rather engage with you because at least you’re not bats#it crazy like some of the hopium addicts are.
No hryvnia for you!
