Humiliated Putin will annex occupied Ukrainian regions in major speech TOMORROW – as his troops face 'imminent defeat' in key town amid rampaging Kyiv counter-attack

Vladimir Putin will formally annex occupied regions of Ukraine to Russian in a major speech tomorrow, the Kremlin has confirmed, as he attempts to regain the initiative after his forces suffered a humiliating rout earlier this month.

Putin's speech comes after Russian-backed proxy governments in Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions held sham referendums earlier this week on whether to go ahead with the move.

Armed Russian soldiers taking ballot boxes door-to-door left the results in no doubt, and Ukraine along with its Western allies have vowed not to recognise the results.

But it still marks a turning point in the war because it will allow PUTIN TO SPIN THE LIE to his own people that any attack on those regions is an attack on Russia itself - paving the way for him to escalate, possibly as far as using nukes.

Ukraine has vowed to defy that threat is continuing to attack into those regions today, with a key town in Donetsk now all-but surrounded.

Lyman, which sits close to the Donets river, is being flanked from northwest and southeast, with Kyiv's troops having cut off all escape routes bar one.

Putin's forces are facing 'imminent defeat' in the town which is a key supply hub for troops in the region.

Taking the town would clear the way for Ukraine to attack into neighbouring Luhansk province - which is almost completely under Russian control.

Putin maintains that the ultimate goal of his 'special military operation' is the liberation of both Donetsk and Luhansk, and defeats there would make it impossible to spin the war as a success.

It comes off the back of a devastating Ukrainian counter-attack east out of Kharkiv earlier this month that returned thousands of square miles to Kyiv's control and buckled Russia's frontline.

“Any real person, once proven to be so wrong so many times, would at least shut the hell up”

Yes I noticed some pro-Putins have all but disappeared when it comes to Ukraine.

No matter what you think, I was asking before posting something else. I started to type, then I thought well maybe I should ask if she supports it.

Your views are a fairly unique combo for here.

Well quite some time ago I met Jimrob and his wife at a party in WA state. My ex and our kids came too.
It was held for freepers to meet them.

I handed Jim a check at the party and made him almost drop it because of how I did it.

“what we can do is enormous, and we should be doing it and we should be helping them to survive and they’re doing an amazing job,’

‘One thing I’d do rapidly is I’d get the oil flowing, because if you reduce the price of oil significantly, that war is going to end.’

The opposite of what Biden and the EU are doing...did you even bother reading these quotes?”

WOW!!

AND, yet you continue to miss the point that TRUMP SUPPORTS UKRAINE !
🤔🤔🤔

LOL - you clearly do not know what my “views” are. Maybe you misinterpreted me and I’m not so sure you didn’t do that deliberately.

Did you slip up? I know the Zelensky trolls here are furious because I figured out that some of them are Eastern Europeans pretending to be Americans and I’m not afraid to point it out.

When I commented that they were here to push today’s propaganda onslaught, you came back with your nonsensical Biden accusation. Oops? 😁

You do know that Biden is on the side of the Zelensky Fan Club, do you not?

Talk about “unique views.” LOL

Give me the names of those two countries, so I can look it up myself.

Your source, Slavyangrad.org, was a website that gave regular updates on the military conflict in Eastern Ukraine, with a pro-rebel point of view. It seems to have been inactive since 2018.

“The Slavic peoples in The Ukraine are not.”

Interesting statement, but NOT accurate:

Actually, the Russian people are closely related to their Belarusian and Ukrainian neighbors, and also fairly close to Poles and Slovenians, who speak other forms of Slavic.

The main ancestors of the Russians included Krivichians, Radimichians, Vyatichians, Severians, and the Ilmen Slavs (Il’menskie slavyane), all of whom were East Slavs. But it is also known that some families of ethnic Russians intermarried with Finnic and Uralic peoples and with Volga Tatars centuries ago. Geneticists found that some Russians are related to the Merya and Muromian peoples that inhabit the north-central part of the European side of Russia.

We can genetically divide the Russian people into two main types: Northern Russians and Southern Russians.

We can genetically divide the Russian people into two main types: Northern Russians and Southern Russians.

[The Y-DNA (paternal) haplogroup R1a and its offshoots are very common among Russian men. Studies have found the ethnic Russian frequency of R1a ranges from a low of 19.8 percent to as high as 62.7 percent, depending on the study and the geographic region being studied, with an average of 46.7% of Russian men carrying R1a. Northern Russian men carry R1a at a lower frequency (33.4%) than other Russian men (49%).

R1a spread throughout many areas of eastern Europe with the migration of members of the Indo-Europeans originating from the Ukrainian-Russian steppe. Some specific subgroups of R1a found among ethnic Russians in the “Russia-Slavic DNA Project” include R1a1, R1a1a, R1a1a1g, and R1a1a1g2.

Among Russian men, the Y-DNA haplogroup R1b ranges in frequency from 0 to 14 percent, and is found on average among 5.8%. The “Russia-Slavic DNA Project” includes men who have the sub-types R1b1a2 and R1b1a2a1a1b.

1. The Y-DNA haplogroup I is found between zero and 26.8 percent among Russian men. Their average frequency is 17.6% when all regions of Russia are taken into account, but a little higher (23.5%) when the scope is limited to central and southern Russia. Some members of the “Russia-Slavic DNA Project” carry the sub-types I2a and I2a2.

2. The Y-DNA haplogroup N is also common among Russian men, at frequencies between 5.4 percent and 53.7 percent. Their average frequency is 21.6% when all regions of Russia are taken into account, but only 10% when the scope is limited to central and southern Russia. N haplogroups are often signals of Finnic ancestry so the higher frequency of them in more northerly Russians is accounted for by intermarriage with their nearby Finnic neighbors. N1c1 is a sub-type that’s found in Russia.

3. E1b1b Y-DNA haplogroups (ultimately originating in northeastern Africa) are not very common among Russian men, but some do have them, and the “Russia-Slavic DNA Project” has men who specifically carry E1b1b1 and E1b1b1a1b.

4. Some Russians carry U4 mtDNA haplogroups; these are common among northwestern and central Siberian peoples, including Kets, the Finnic-speaking Veps (Vepsians) of northwestern Russia, as well as among the Chuvash and Mari peoples of the Volga-Ural region.

Bosnia and Herzegovina called for respecting the DPR and LPR decision

Milorad Dodik, a member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the Serb people, said that the decision of the DPR and LNR to hold referendums is an autonomous decision to which the residents of the Republics are entitled.

“We will respect their choice and the way of integration they choose. Of course, these regions are predominantly populated by Russian people, so we are sympathetic to their desire and believe that it is objective their expression and desire to join Russia,” Dodik said.

The politician also noted that it is also time for Republika Srpska to think about a referendum on joining Serbia.

I have a dog rescued from the street in your state.
I sure am happy he is here.

It’s very sad to be a dog in Texas, I think.
One of my friends here pulls Texas dogs north and they are adopted.

Something about Texas -maybe the strong Hispanic culture?
Just not a nice place, imo.

“Rejected out of your hand.”

“There are two ways to be fooled.
One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” - Soren Kierkegaard

I don’t believe for a moment these Putin contrarians are fooled. Rather, posting untruth gives them power of a salary.

“Putin”

Putin is the boogie man... the boogie man..the big bad boogie man. Let Europe deal with that.

Biden is the one we all should be concerned with.

The sooner you and your ilk understand that the better off we all will be.

But then, when you and your ilk support that SOB...

I have no idea what you’re going on about and I really don’t care. Probably some yankee crap.

I also have no idea why you have such a white-hot anger at me, but I have my suspicions. I have done nothing to you to draw your vicious hostility. You’re acting just like the Zelensky-bots. Is there a software glitch? Or are you a Zelensky fan girl too? Again, I really don’t care beyond a mild curiosity as to why you appear to be so fixated on me.

You leftists are an angry, strange lot and there’s just no rationalizing with you.

I hope whatever is bothering you gets better. Life is too short to go around full of hate and anger.

Exactly.

And I’m tired of that diapered dictator-wannabe giving our hard-earned money to that grifter in Ukraine.

What about our freakin’ borders??

Just for starters.
