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.

lol. You have no idea how mentally deranged you are. Seek help/ Along with Bobl. Hold handsies when you skip into the therapist.
Crimea is never going back after years of abuse by Kiev of its “ own citizens”
Likely now, ditto for DPR and LPR
Kherson and Zaporizhzhia also will join Russia
Kharkiv? Tbd
Odessa MAY be the golden bridge Russia lets Ukraine keep ( will be negotiated with the military leadership, not Zelensky) but only if de-nazified and no threat
“lol. You have no idea how mentally deranged you are. Seek help/ Along with Bobl.”
You’re the one with an OBSESSION, pal, as I haven’t even posted here.
Russia would have to take Odessa first, and it doesn’t look like it is going to. Russia may not be able to hold Kherson.
No, Russia is the loser. They gained the territorues but lost Russia in the process.
Mother Russia is as bad off now as when there was a Soviet Union.
A correct translation of “Ivan the Terrible” is more like “Ivan the Awesome” He was one of the few Tsars that gave a hoot about Russia—Most just saw the nation as a cash cow to milk for money to enjoy a lavish lifestyle. Not that Old Ivan couldn’t be terrible (and was)to real or imagined enemies. He created the “Black Horse” secret police and Russia hasn’t been without such an arm from that point on. Still, with our FBI we can’t really throw stones.
The National Endowment of Democracy will once again, "secure the Ukraine election".
This headline seems to be trying to make it a “Mission Accomplished” moment when there’s no indication AFAIK that Russian forces intend to completely withdraw from Ukraine.
The ones who were part of the Luhansk operations are just going to get rotated out with other soldiers.
Posting messages from Russian hawks complaining about Putin not being bloodthirsty or ruthless enough is not the ‘own’ you seem to think it is.
ROFLOL!
Ya right. Just keep with that fantasy.
None the less Bob seek help. Aside from Ukraine vs Russia, I kind of remember you making intelligent posts here at FR in the past.
Here is my litmus test. You are vaxxed or not? Me -never.
The post by Russian war criminal Igor Girkin clearly and logically lays out why Putin is not winning and is on the road to strategic failure.
Girkin is preparing for his “I told you so” moment when Putin loses Kherson and Zaporizhzhia while also failing to take the remainder of Donetsk.
The handwriting is on the wall and everyone but Putin can read it.
Whenever I shoot someone a litmus test, I will tell you (them) my results up front.
It looks like July 4th isn't a holiday for the Putin propaganda crew. I see you are hard at work cheering for a murderous tyrant.
Give them the darn planes now that Joe Dementia
denied Ukies. That is over 30 Su Migs and watch
the Russians lose. Also give them 3 dozen Himars
and 50 TB2 drones and the Russian Howetzers will
be pulverized
You need to update your talking points. That hasn't been on the talking points list for weeks now. The real Russian propaganda team realized that they have more Nazis in LNR and DPR than anywhere else in the world.
May not be the same actual poster. Russian propaganda teams are skilled at taking over social media accounts.
