Ukrainian forces are on the brink of recapturing the strategically important city of Kreminna in the east, according to a local official.
Serhiy Haidai, regional governor of the contested Luhansk region, which was annexed by Vladimir Putin after a sham referendum, tweeted Monday that the military command of the Russian forces “has left #kreminna, which the Ukrainian military is approaching…”
Haidi added that the fighting was already raging not far from the city.
In a Telegram post Tuesday, the official wrote: “the Russians understand that if they lose Kreminna, their entire line of defense will ‘fall.'”
In a Christmas Eve tweet, Haidai said that the Russian occupiers are akin to “rats on the run” who are fleeing ahead of the advancing Ukrainian soldiers.

What a nice way to write about Nazis.
How is it that Ivan has a “line of defense?” He’s the one who stated the fight. Maybe it should be more like “line of getting his axx kicked?”
Ukes are about to cutoff the ruskies.
“If this is the case, Z can send back the 45 billion we just gave him.”
Any aid money for Ukraine is held by New York banks and then paid out for supplies as they’re purchased or approved for export. The Democrats are also skimming the funds for The Big Guy.
In any case, Ukraine is not getting the kind of direct financial aid like Obama gave to Iran.
Fixed it.
No bias in reporting there, nope.
You know we didn’t just give him 45 billion.
We’ve only sent 20 billion, mostly in weapons. And that’s from the first $40b authorization. We haven’t touched the new $45 billion authorization.
I’m sure if the war ends, we’ll reconsider sending the rest.
But in the meantime, Russia knows that there’s another $65 billion in weapons headed to Ukraine over the next year.
There was a time when the NY Post was better than this.
And Lend Lease hasn’t been used yet.
And Putin has an election in March 2024…
“ In any case, Ukraine is not getting the kind of direct financial aid like Obama gave to Iran.”

It’s a good thing you’re auditing (to where and to whom it’s all going) these many TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in aid. That’s a big job. Damn House Republicans claiming many of the controls are lax or nonexistent. What do they know. ;-) /sarc
I agree and I think Zelensky does too. A big reason he spoke to Congress wasn’t to plead for new aid but to plead for the aid he’d been promised, that Congress had funded, and that has yet to be seen in Ukraine.
The Democrats are inarguably using the Ukraine war as a reason to run a grift. The FTX scandal likely netted them as much as one billion in graft that they’ve funneled into rigging election results.

It is a total BS. Ukie try to attack but Russian artillery minces them.
Ukes are about to cutoff the ruskies.

Yeah, right. The Ukies are now on their 8th mobilization, (18-60) old men. Do beware the Duma has not mobilized their military ( 1.5 million) , dream on.
Vlad has shown much restraint, pray he doesn’t mobilize his military, which he will not due to the threat of NATO getting stupid, really stupid.
Clarification : The armed forces of Ukraine have not captured Kremmenna or Svatovo. However, according to Russian military officers, the Ukrainians tried to capture the towns but lost around 1,000 men in the battle. As per Russian reports, all Ukrainian attacks have been repulsed. The reports of the “surrender” of the cities are fake, however, according to Russian channels, the AFU command has already reported to Zelensky about the “capture,” but it’s fake, and they have not captured any significant territory. Now, for a political victory, they attempted to capture the towns but suffered significant losses, and they may try another offensive in this area.
The previous post from “ military chronicle “:
The AFU rushed to report to Zelensky on the capture of Kremenna. This cost Kiev 1,000 soldiers and officers.
In late December, Ukrainian Telegram channels spread information that the Russian Armed Forces were retreating from Svatov, while Kreminna (60 km from Slovyansk) was practically cut off and it was a matter of time to block it.
The commander of the Russian Legion detachment, Sergei Fomchenkov (call sign Fomich), told Military Chronicle that President Vladimir Zelensky, according to his radio intercepts, had already been informed of the capture of Kreminna. This, according to Fomich, was due to the fact that the AFU had accumulated excessive forces in the area of the Kreminna-Svatovo line and no longer had any doubts about its success.
Thus, the AFU rushed to report the capture of the town and therefore sent new reserves there in the hope of capturing the settlement and “implementing the report.”
All attacks by units of the 14th and 92nd mechanised brigades of the AFU, supported by the 112th Territorial Defense Brigade, were repulsed.
The 80th and 95th Airborne Assault Brigades suffered heavy losses during the “probe” between Kremenna and Svatove. The 25th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade of the AFU and units of the 66th Mechanized Brigade also recorded a large number of casualties during the Kremenna rush.
Active movement by the AFU since the autumn has been hampered by bad weather, gunfire positions, and constant reconnaissance drone activity. Convoys with Ukrainian equipment are detected at a distance of 10-12 km, after which they are fired upon.
According to the Military Chronicle, the number of dead and seriously wounded soldiers in the AFU brigades in the Svatove-Kreminna area after reports of the shift of the front line and the capture of Kreminna came close to 1,000.
According to another Military Chronicle source in the Russian Legion detachment, the AFU has faced a shortage of heavy equipment in this area, and almost all combat sorties are carried out using lightly armoured MaxxPro, Cougar, and Sisu Pasi vehicles. The vehicles receive critical artillery damage and are destroyed along with the paratroopers.

Your Rashit paymasters also said they captured the Head of Nato land forces in a Maripol bunker, the same day he was in Turkey.
our resident Rashit is going to well..
You do realize that there have been two elections since 2014, don’t you?
“which was annexed by Vladimir Putin after a sham referendum”
Pretty much DISCREDITS this story, really no different than the US media calling Trump’s complaints about the election to be ‘lies’...tells us the journalist’s agenda, in both cases.
From her NY Post bio: she is “A native of Russia who grew up in the family of an army officer”.
