Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday declared victory in the eastern Ukrainian region of Luhansk, one day after Ukrainian forces withdrew from their last remaining bulwark of resistance in the province.
Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Putin in a televised meeting Monday that Russian forces had taken control of Luhansk, which together with the neighboring Donetsk province makes up Ukraine’s industrial heartland of Donbas.
Shoigu told Putin that “the operation” was completed on Sunday after Russian troops overran the city of Lysychansk, the last stronghold of Ukrainian forces in Luhansk.

Guess Ukraine doesn’t need that $40 billion after all.
Was the $40 billion ever going to get to Ukraine? It is probably being laundered into the foreign bank accounts of many U.S. crooked politicians including “The Big Guy.”
Asking price: $750 Billion
But will the big guy return his 10%? That is the question, (of course, we all know the answer to that one.)
Congrats, Vald. Enjoy your rubble.
Is that what they're calling "running like little girls, dumping their heavy weapons, armored vehicles and their entire stock of Javelins for the Luhansk militia" these days?
Well, on to Donetsk province, and "second verse, same as the first".
Bakhmut gonna get it in the backside...
Videos from Uganda suggest that a lot of that equipment went there they just discovered gold you know
Zelensky gets the blame and ends up clipped and a new more radical government gets installed in Ukraine...all backed by the hookers in Washington DC.
No offense to hookers everywhere. The street walkers are far more honorable than the scum in Washington DC.
At least a street walker works.
Vlad needs to eat Odessa next, it is the only way to end this war. A landlocked Ukraine becomes just another insignificant nation that learned a hard lesson about becoming a US Neo Con puppet.
That said, post war Ukraine if not fully demilitarized will result in Ukie war II and three….much like the US Gulf War I and II…
100% correct FRiend.
Soon enough there will be a human rights “crisis” in Uganda and we will be obligated to intervene. It will be the next “current thing” after coronavirus, January 6th hearings, Ukraine, and saving the polar bears from your automobile.
Did you put them out of business with your breathless hourly posts?
Independence Day
A just resolution would be a return to the status quo before the 2014 coup d’etat.
Slavyansk and Kramatorsk gonna get it special delivery
Putin has taken what he wants, protecting ethnic Russians, I’m OK with that. But the Ukes have lost, many common folk Ukes have died, German Union rep said yesterday the German economy will collapse w/o Russian Natural Gas. EU is capitulating on Russian oil buys based on ruble.
Uke Prez should be hung by his people like the Italians did Mussolini for getting them into an unwinnable war.
So, which is Mssr. Putin today?
Pyotr Bolshoi (Peter the Great),
or,
Ivan the Terrible?
