New Ukraine positions near Kherson could signal spring offensive – report
The Guardian ^ | April 23, 2023 | Emma Graham-Harrison

Ukraine’s military has set up positions on the eastern side of the Dnipro River near Kherson city, the Institute for the Study of War cites Russian military bloggers as saying.

Infiltrating the area could be a first step towards trying to dislodge Russian forces from positions they are using to shell and shoot at Kherson. The constant attacks have made it impossible for residents to return to normal life months after Ukrainian troops liberated the city from occupation.

Ukrainian military forays across the river could also mark the first tentative steps towards launching a long-awaited spring offensive to reclaim more territory.

“This is the first time ISW has observed reliable geolocated imagery of Ukrainian positions on the east bank along with multi-sourced Russian reports of an enduring Ukrainian presence there,” the thinktank said in an update.

The Russian military bloggers said Ukrainian forces had established stable supply lines to their positions and “regularly conduct sorties in the area”, the ISW said.

The reported positions were in marshy areas of islets and tributaries near the settlements of Oleshky and Dachi, the report said. Russia still holds those settlements.

A Ukrainian military spokesperson for the southern region declined to comment on reports that Ukrainian troops had achieved a foothold across the river.

The destruction of the Ukraine will discredit Bidog and the neocon endless warmongers. It will cause a shakeup in the Joint Chiefs and possibly rid the armed services of the perverted wokism, racism, and anti intellectual social theories that best it. It might make Bidog unpopular enough that the demonrats refuse to cheat for him.

Those are not an insignificant result.

It is not rage. It is Benthamite calculus. The most good for the most people. If Russia takes Ukraine the deep state is wounded. It is possible that that wound can made fatal. They are openly planning to murder BILLIONS OF PEOPLE by starvation to setup their evil world government. You cannot support them in any thing they do. They are only 10 or 15 years away from the take over, maybe less.

You cannot support Bidog, you cannot make common cause with him in any thing he does. If he supports it, you must oppose it.

I am sorry you cannot see that.
You cannot say you have not been warned.

Putin is in referenced twice in the comment for good measure.

All the people he killed going into Ukraine.

All the people he’ll kill getting out of Ukraine.

I find the death and suffering of Ukrainians so that Biden looks bad an unacceptable price.

But thats just me.

So let’s be clear you are claiming children kidnapped off the streets are stopping the Russian army plus the vaunted Wagner mercenaries?

Just what I thought as well. Of course to be fair the Babushkas with pickle jars are formidable.

I strongly suspect you are a propagandist trying to persuade people who are anti Biden.

Your argument is simplistic and just about crazy.

That we should abandon anything in the world Biden would defend.

I bet Taiwan is on the top of your list.

I am not a propagandist.

The argument is not simplistic. It is simply true. We are seeing the rise of a global evil so all encompassing, so malicious and so powerful that it is breathtaking. It is using the war in Ukraine to justify its existence, legitimize power and hide its evil.

Pick ANY ISSUE Biden is objectively more evil than Putin or Xi. As I say in every one of these post. Just the normalization perversity, pedophilia and sexual deviancy in the Biden administration should prove that.

For example: Putin invaded another country - Biden encouraged invaders to invade his own country which is worse? Biden is worse.

We are at war with the left. They are openly talking about killing people that do not agree with them. They are planning economic policies that will starve BILLIONS of people to death. They want to kill at least 1/2 the earth’s population to save the planet. They mean what they say.

You are not saving or protecting anybody by supporting Biden in this war. The left will just kill them in 5 years anyway.

You cannot make common cause with Hell. The Biden administration is of Hell. It is evil almost beyond imagination. They are openly calling evil good and good evil. Josef Mengele would be repulsed way the Biden administration is advocating sexually mutilating children. How can you support evil like that.

They are setting in place the machinery to murder anyone who will not agree with them. They’re going to make the holocaust look like
a picnic. Because of the perversion encouraged by Biden and his demonic handlers the United States is rapidly becoming the Great Whore of Babylon. If we do not turn we will be utterly destroyed. That is a terrible thing to know.

Biden is the worst of all possible traits in a president. He is incompetent (Led by others), greedy, corrupt, vindictive, venal, petty, self-centered, prideful, oblivious, most importantly, useful to his handlers. He is a servant of Satan.

Go ahead, refuse to believe it. You are setting yourself up to take the mark of the beast by defending supposedly innocent people. We either defeat the global-homo-pedo-enviro-mafia, at whatever the cost or we fall into a darkness from which there is no return.

If Biden (A euphemism) for the hard left in North America and Europe) is for them you cannot support them. If you support Ukraine you are supporting the deaths of billions of people.

You have been warned. There is no greater evil than the political left in Europe and North America.
