Russians on the north flank are getting slaughtered by Ukrainian artillery tonight. Massive losses.

I’m not a propagandist, but this was a retreat from a hill on the West edge of the city. Russkies still control 80% of Bakhmut.

Which took the Russians months to take, and now they gave it up in days.

And 30,000 KIA Russian mercs all for nothing. That is a hell of a plan for victory! “Retreat to victory”, “Retreat to victory”! The Russians are about to realize what “Fuck around and find out” is all about.

The Russians retreated...and then wiped out more than 500 of Ukrainian invaders.

Only to dim wit like you is that a win for Ukraine.

"Ukrainian invaders."

Interesting thought process. What exactly were they invading?

Yevgeny Prigozhin says the regular Russian army are running like rats from Bakhmut. Fake Tsar Putin’s army is pathetic, because no conscript wants to be in Ukraine.

No Russian wants to die in Mad Vlad’s vanity war.

Ukraine is FINISHED and Blackrock is taking over | Redacted with Clayton Morris

It's happening! Ukraine's President Zelensky has met with executives from BlackRock to auction off Ukraine for profit. He solicited this in a recent speech and now it is happening. In case you were wondering who would be enriched by this war: big business. Not you.

Ukraine invaded itself. I guess they literally believe this so they can claim those who opposed the war are “pro-war” and those that support the war like themselves are “anti-war.”

Oh, so that's who Putin was trying to help by invading Ukraine and starting this war.

No wonder you are so far out kooky. You believe these dopes “Redacted” video where they claim BlackRock owns 30% of Ukraine. BlackRock is super evil, but they do not own 30% of Ukraine.
