Ukrainian armoured vehicles have smashed through a gap in Russian defences on the Zaporizhzhia front, it has been reported.

Eight-wheeled Stryker and tracked Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles were seen behind Russian tank traps and dragon's teeth near Verbove - suggesting a potential Ukrainian tactical breakthrough in the area.

Russia analyst for The Institute for the Study of War, George Barros, said the news could mean Kyiv was preparing for another big push.

“You mean for more US tax dollar funding.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There are Dollars and Euros in this war, and a lot of Ukrainian blood. They are the ones doing the fighting with boots on the ground. They are the ones depleting Russia’s army. Russia has already paid 169 billion dollars for its botched Ukraine invasion! For Russia small economy that is a MASSIVE amount.

Ukrainians are showing the world that a border MEANS something.
They show the word that they don’t accept INVADERS taking their land and homes. They fight, no matter what. With or without Western help.

In America though... we have opened our borders. We let the invaders in, willingly.

Maybe it’s time to follow Ukraine’s example?
Thank you Ukraine for showing us the way to go.

Battle of Passchendaele Day 107.

They have made it 15km, so another five km they will be thru the first minefield.

I haven’t heard anyone, for quite some while, say that Russian forces are about to finally begin their big push. Instead, news indicates that Russia may be incapable of further significant offensive actions.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Exactly!
Russia is strictly incapable of taking more of Ukraine right now. Thats why they dug in with endless trenches, and two million mines... They just pray to not lose too much of what they have already stolen.

However... Ukraine has already taken back over 50% of the land area Russian initially had manage to take.
SO.. it doesn’t look good for Russia at all.

They will be forced to do another highly unpopular Russian mobilization again, drafting thousands more of poor Russians to end their lives for the Kremlin’s big “Lebensraum” agenda.

“Ukraine has already taken back over 50% of the land area Russian initially had manage to take”

That was land that Russia voluntarily vacated after they advanced on it. It’s not much of a victory to take over empty land.

“They fight, no matter what. With or without Western help.”

Wrong. They will stop fighting the very day that western help ends, which is why they endlessly beg for more money and weapons.

every Ukrainian knows, however bad things are now,

they would be infinitely worse if Russia ever gains control

so, there will be no surrender ... book it

fortunately, there will be no cut-off of Western aid, either

enjoy them sanctions, Russia ...

It’s over.

Breakthroughs across the front, Russia out of mobile reserves, Russians surrendering.

It’s over.

The only real “breakthrough” this week is Poland telling Ukarine to suck it.

Silly Zeeper, playing pretend while trying to wish a happy ending into reality. Go back to the kitchen and get super ready. That’s what old women do.

“there will be no surrender”
Over 10 million have already surrendered… by fleeing the country, never to return.

Russia is thriving under sanctions, the west has cut its own throat by imposing them; freeze and starve for Ukraine

Sad

No one knows what doink means. Is it a word used by your video gamer friends?

That's what his mommie calls his little...you know...thingy.
