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.

“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…”
I’m pretty sure Putin fully understands he needs Odessa now. We should not underestimate the Ruskies, unlike our crazy, stupid, idiotic Western leaders who are disintegrating before our eyes. Special message for them all: that light you see at the other end of the tunnel is a speeding train barreling down on your butts.
Pootie has to celebrate something, in the last month of June the Russian army took +0.3% of Ukraine’s territory.
Good. Now go home.
You guys really don’t understand how military aid works, do you?
It’s cute you think we send them cash.
“None the less Bob seek help.”
For what, we seem to disagree on something, why should I be the one seeking help, considering that YOU called me out without me even being on this thread. Very odd...
Does this mean Eastern Ukraine won’t get to have gay parades and tranny story time for kids?
How sad
There was never any chance Russia would not prevail. And now its happened.
Stupid comment since neither of those things took place in eastern Ukraine. Whats really sad is that because of Putin's invasion, many of the children are homeless, and many have lost their parents.
I think both Odessa and Kharkov are sure things. I wonder what the “planned tasks” are for “East” and “West”???
Russia Minister of Defense reports Ukraine casualties and euipment losses for last two weeks in report given to Putin.
Putin listened to Shoigu’s report on the progress of the operation in the Donbass and Ukraine.

▪️The united groups “East” and “West” will carry out their tasks according to the previous plan.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Zircon is capable of flying at nine times the speed of sound and has a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles). Putin has emphasized that its deployment will significantly boost the capability of Russia’s military.
Zircon is intended to arm Russian cruisers, frigates and submarines and could be used against both enemy ships and ground targets. It is one of several hypersonic missiles under development in Russia.
Russian officials have boasted about Zircon’s capability, saying that it’s impossible to intercept with existing anti-missile systems.
A “cauldron” with 20,000 Ukrainian troops encircled!

Situation at #Seversk acc to news from the last few hours. The Rus are about 7km away.
Although they might first move on the marked towns to the south to cut the road to Bakhmut instead of a direct frontal attack
Odessa is a beautiful historic city. Even cancerous Vlad knows this so is playing nice with Odessa. On the practical side, Odessa is broker and the seaport that ships out Ukrainian wheat and other grains. Ukraine is the major sunflower grower, to grind these seeds into cooking oil. Americans are unfamiliar with sunflower oil, but this is the standard cooking oil used all over Western Europe./
I saw this a few decades back. Sunflower oil being used in all the European kitchens.
…idiotic Western leaders who are disintegrating before our eyes. Special message for them all: that light you see at the other end of the tunnel is a speeding train barreling down on your butts.

Well said. I have lost all hope for the US, they were sucked in and deceived by Biden’s vax hoax, and now are being sucked in and deceived by Biden’s Ukie war. When will they wise up?
From a new AP story:
‘Hell on earth’: Ukrainian soldiers describe eastern front
Both the lieutenant and the soldier under his command expressed confidence that Ukraine would take back all occupied territories and defeat Russia. They insisted morale remained high. Other soldiers, most with no combat experience before the invasion, shared more pessimistic accounts while insisting on anonymity or using only their first names to discuss their experiences.
Oleksiy, a member of the Ukrainian army who started fighting against the Moscow-backed separatists in 2016, had just returned from the front with a heavy limp. He said he was wounded on the battlefield in Zolote, a town the Russians also have since occupied.
“On the TV, they are showing beautiful pictures of the front lines, the solidarity, the army, but the reality is very different” he said, adding he does not think the delivery of more Western weapons would change the course of the war.
His battalion started running out of ammunition within a few weeks, Oleksiy said. At one point, the relentless shelling kept the soldiers from standing up in the trenches, he said, exhaustion visible on his lined face.
A senior presidential aide reported last month that 100 to 200 Ukrainian troops were dying every day, but the country has not provided the total number killed in action. Oleksiy claimed his unit lost 150 men during its first three days of fighting, many from a loss of blood.
Due to the relentless bombardments, wounded soldiers were only evacuated at night, and sometimes they had to wait up to two days, he said.
“The commanders don’t care if you are psychologically broken. If you have a working heart, if you have arms and legs, you have to go back in,” he added.

History repeats. Comparison with the Nazi’s, ( many in the Ukie military) the leader Zelensky ( Hitler) keeps sending troops into the Russian meat grinder on the Eastern Front, Zelensky ( Hitler) says no surrender , stand fast, Zelensky ( Hitler) mobilizes the civilian population ( grandmas, Volksturm, Hitler Youth) to fight the “ invaders”, Zelensky’s ( Hitler) economy and cities in ruin,….even as the Russians enter Berlin. Does anyone else se the historic similarities?
