WORLDUkraine Forces Take Control of Key River Bank, Extending Advance in East {Oskil river - crossed over from Kupyiansk)
Wall Street Journal ^ | 19th September 2022 | Ian Lovett

...now control the eastern bank of the Oskil River in the Kharkiv region, while Moscow continues to launch attacks against civilian infrastructure in Ukraine following its military setbacks in the country’s east.

Strategic Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces posted a video on social media on Sunday that appeared to show an armored vehicle crossing the river, along with the message, “Ukraine controls the left bank.”

The claim suggests Ukraine’s push east is continuing after its forces seized about 3,500 square miles of territory in the northeastern Kharkiv region in a lightning offensive earlier this month that put Moscow on the back foot.

Ukrainian troops are now within about 20 miles of the Luhansk region, which Moscow captured months ago and whose seizure the Kremlin has repeatedly called one of its priorities for the war in Ukraine.

....Russian forces, meanwhile, established a new defensive line between the river and the town of Svatove in the Luhansk region over the weekend, according to the British ministry of defense. The ministry said Russia would likely defend the area aggressively after suffering a swift rout in the Kharkiv region, allowing Ukrainian forces to seize huge swaths of land in just a few days.

Battlefield setbacks have continued for Moscow. The British Ministry of Defense said Russia had lost at least four combat jets in Ukraine within the last 10 days, for a total loss of around 55 jets since the start of the invasion.

But again, you know you are right over the target when you have 2 or more personally attacking you and not the message.

I already responded to your 'purported' allegations on both counts (and find it amusing that instead of defending the first one you switched to another allegation).

Not only did you fail to attempt to defend either responses, you demonstrated a clear lack of reading comprehension and resorted to ad-hominem.

Thank you for proving your points so eloquently.

Validate it from multiple sources and look for denials from the Kremlin

Is this from the same fake media that was crowing that Trump spoke to an empty arena in Ohio on Saturday night? When in fact, the arena was so packed that the overflow crowd were forced to watch from the monitor outside?

I don't believe a darn thing the media tells me anymore about anything. That's sad.

If the Brooklyn Bridge is utilized by the military, it ceases to be a ‘civilian infrastructure’. If a dam, which provides power to electric run trains and those trains are utilized by the military, it ceases to be a ‘civilian infrastructure’, as does the dam which is providing any type power utilized by the military. I could go on and on, but again, I got firewood to collect for a donation fund for Germans.

According to the Western/US/EU/UK/NATO propaganda-ridden media. Most of the rest of the world knows otherwise. Proof in the pudding, Banderite:

87-90% of the world does not support the US-led economic sanctions (economic war) of Russia.

If the multiple sources are our own media, triangulation would be useless.

That said, in a sane world, your prescription would be perfect.

“Numerous photos and videos were posted on social media in late July showing dozens of small PFM-1 “petal” mines in Russian-occupied Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine. The posts were accompanied by comments expressing outrage and fear that the mines – hard to see on sidewalks or in the grass – would be deadly to civilians. But it remains unclear whether Ukraine or Russia was responsible for dispersing these controversial weapons.”

Damn, the Russians are shelling their own positions again? Yes, of course we believe they are… we’re that gullible.

Again... this from Comrade Cranked, who reveres communist medium "Monthly Review" as an authoritative publication. The irony is beyond thick. And as for "87%-90% not following US on Ukraine," similar numbers didn't support the Trump-era tariffs on Chinese goods... yet we did it anyway.

That article is bs.

It say 87% of the world’s population does not live in countries that support sanctions.

Firstly that is skewed as 40% of the world’s population live in India and China, both if whom are fence sitters.

Secondly, they don’t support sanctions but that does not mean they support your invasion of Ukraine.

So, comrade, you regard communist propaganda as "truth." The truth, little socialist minion, is that your beloved Mother Russia is getting its ass kicked in Ukraine, so much so that even THEIR media had no choice but to acknowledge it.

THEY admitted their recent failures... maybe you might want to try seeing the light as well.
