Major collapse of the Ukranian front South of Lysichansk today has left the city close to surrounded

There are 3 areas of Donbas left

1. Lysichansk-Severodonetsk - almost taken
2. Slovyansk-Kramatorsk - approached
3. Avdiivka etc near Donetsk - daily battles

Close to over now https://t.co/MEU38pTIfr— Cyberpunk Napoleon (@napoleon21st) June 22, 2022

Russia, rich in every metal and natural resource that you can imagine, plus abundant energy supplies and surplus fertilizer can’t make weapons and munitions? Really?

That is just lying.

The US alone has given the equivalent of 80% of what Russia spends on defense in an entire year. For what? And where does it end?

Or simple incompetence, like the 17 US intelligence agencies who can do little right besides satellite and electronic surveillance.

Your nose is growing, Speedster...How many times are you going to post propaganda like this? You and your ilk made similar predictions THREE months ago:

Tue, Mar 15, 2022

Russia forced to end war ‘within 10 days’ due to growing problems, says former General

Not too worry. Russians are about to run out of supplies and even faster get bored job of de-nazifying a thousand every day meeting little resistance. The genius of Brandon is in realizing that they cannot keep doing this forever.
