British military says Russia at risk of losing Luhansk
UPI, via MSN.com ^ | September 17, 2022 | Matt Bernardini

Russia will continue to defend the Luhansk region in Eastern Ukraine, but it is unclear whether its forces have sufficient reserves or adequate morale to prevail, British defense officials said Saturday.

Ukraine continues its counteroffensive in the north-east, while Russian troops have established a defensive line along the Luhansk border, according to the British Ministry of Defense.

"Any substantial loss of territory in Luhansk will unambiguously undermine Russia's strategy," the MOD said.

The report comes a day after Ukrainian authorities discovered more than 440 bodies in a mass grave in Izium. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a video address late Friday that torture chambers were found in the Kharkiv region, which Ukrainian forces have liberated.

"There is already clear evidence of torture, humiliating treatment of people," Zelenskiy said, calling for an international response. "Moreover, there is evidence that Russian soldiers, whose positions were not far from this place, shot at the buried just for fun."

“The Russians are about to lose Luhansk now. “

And Ukraine is about to lose half its territory, not a bad trade...

Sure Russia is going to lose BUT only if you send four easy payments of 10 billion dollars RIGHT NOW to the Ukraine! So don’t wait and act now! And Zelensky will send you a free sports watch

***********************&***************************

Should be “four easy payments of 9.99 billion dollars…to Ukraine”.

I doubt it because they are still taking territory and reducing troops on the other side.

Once again an unsourced declaration from MSN. Whatever leftist outfit that is. I guess they called and said “hey British military, are Russians losing Luhansk”?

"British Military," is that the little country with an 80,000 man army, whose newest and best aircraft carrier broke down in sight of England and had to be towed back into port?

"BRITISH MILITARY"

I think the British military should focus on the home front, and figuring out how to keep Granny from freezing to death this winter.

But, but, what happened to a free green, greasy tee shirt reminiscent of the one Zel wears all of the time?

They are fed propaganda from Ukraine and us and they run with it
It’s a large propaganda effort unlike anything I’ve sure ever seen in 65 years

And it’s effective

Some occasionally sane posters here gone nuts believing it

Easy to do when you control 95% of the media and information flow through our tech oligarchs when the latter aren’t flooding election fraud with zuckbucks

Ukraine’s ability to stand up to Russia has little to do with the money we gave them in the past 6 months and more to do with President Trump arming and training them years ago and his foresight to see this war coming.

But nobody will admit this.

Those who support the primarily left-wimg superstate, the EU, which have falsely castigated Orban, won’t like Orban saying this.
