It appears they have swung south to encircle Bakhmut.
If not supported by enough reserves that is a stupid move.
Tanks in force must be deployed to drive as far west as they can get as fast as they can move.
The flanks are vulnerable at this point and we shall see if Zelenskys bait boys will have the ability to redirect artillery at those flanks.
For some GD reason the Russians enjoy slugging it out at every point they can instead of taking full advantage of an opportunity.
Hopefully this is it, and the Ukrainians can look forward to at least a cease fire...eventually.
They have over run that.
If the money does not get to the troops then how did the Ukrainians push the Russians back from Kiev and Kharkov? How did the Ukrainians retake Kherson? How did the Moskva get sunk? Maybe you should read more than just Moscow’s propaganda?
Out of the country.
That would be great if they can liberate Slavyansk!
Watch what their families do. In Iran, the first sign that the regime of the Shah was about to fall was the mass exodus of the families of high government officials.
For some GD reason the Russians enjoy slugging it out at every point they can instead of taking full advantage of an opportunity.
Because their goal isn’t really turf beyond the Donbass area. It was to degrade and destroy the Uke military and denazify. Always was. Therefore, wherever Ukes want to stand and fight is a good place to hit them.
I hope you enjoy World War III.
I want nothing to do with it.
You want World War III. You want to appease the 23-year dictator.
“for one man’s ego>..” Vladimir Putin? Last I checked - this all began with his full-scale invasion of Ukraine...
“Let the Globalist gnashing of teeth begin.”
Along with the teeth of all the Ukrainian cheerleaders here.
Side note: Appears there is more than an handful of FReepers that never got over the end of the Cold War and all that hate they built up from 1945 thru 1989 never subsided. They appear to relish and rejoice from the idea that thousands of Russians are dying en masse along with tens of thousands of Ukrainians.
But hey, that’s all good as long those “f***ing Russians” are dying, too. Heck, I suspect they haven’t shed a tear or give two wooden nickels about all the dead civilians either.
Pathetic and embarrassing.
Side note: Fellow FReepers, please stop using “an” instead of “a” before a consonant and follow the rule below. We are supposed to be smarter than our libtard adversaries. See below:
A vs. an
The rule is: Use “an” before a word beginning with a vowel sound (not letter). It doesn’t matter how the word is spelled. It just matters how it is pronounced. Use “a” before a word with a consonant sound as well as y and w sounds. Which means it is not unusual to find “a” before a word starting with a vowel or an before a word starting with a consonant.
So, we say “an” MBA, “an” hour … but “a” BA, “a” horologist. You say either “an” historical event or “a” historical event, according to whether you pronounce the h. If the h- is sounded (you make the “ha” sound), then a is the proper form.

Lil’ Kim just resurfaced, after a 96 day hiding, to tell his country to “prepare for war”.
I think that’s your answer.
I read that after Stalin’s death they found hundreds of uncashed paychecks for his position as General Secretary. In a sick way he was clear on what his priorities were.
You know it is a balanced article when one side is described as “valiantly”.
Some of the Western press were pretty high on Pol Pot too. At first he was regarded as a humble-living ascetic.
“people are willing to die for one man’s ego.”
Sad a lot of good people on both sides are dying for powerful corrupt people on both sides.
That is the obvious truth. Why would Russia want to conquer territories beyond their aligned ethnic Russian allies? If the goal is to destroy the Ukrainian military, they are drawing them east now to do just that.
It is not smart for Russia to expand a military reach into areas whose people will be forever hostile to a Russian presence.
The ignorance in this entire conflict is to think Ukraine is one united people. This is the fraud perpetrated by the globalists and neocons as an excuse to target and destroy Russia which has been their TRUE goal from the outset.
In Western Ukraine, the ethnic Polish people would welcome Poland’s annexation of that region just as those in the Donbas have welcomed assimilation into Russia.
Ukrainians are being slaughtered to pursue the globalists’ dreams of destroying Russia and plundering its resources. Ukrainians are just pawns and expendable cannon fodder to these lunatics. That is why no rational peace deal can be permitted by the globalist tyrants.
No deal allowing Russia to survive can be tolerated by such irrational, globalist warmongers.
Just wait until Steiner launches his attack
For some GD reason the Russians enjoy slugging it out at every point they can instead of taking full advantage of an opportunity.The reason is to destroy everything that makes a modern civilization possible. Once it became clear that the Ukrainian people would fight, the goal became ridding the conquered territories of the Ukrainian people.
They could send one to me, along with a spam can of ammo!
I figure that would be a partial payback for my taxes buying them all the stuff we’ve sent over.
