A Ukrainian artillery commander said there's a 'competition' between brigades to see who can kill the most Russians

A Ukrainian artillery commander said that brigades compete to see who can kill the most Russian soldiers as they attempt to cross a heavy-artillery zone in Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine.

Fighting has been raging around the small city in the Donetsk oblast as Russian forces have been repeatedly attempting to capture it despite suffering heavy personnel and equipment losses.

"I'll even reveal a secret," Arty Green, a Ukrainian artillery commander, told Ukrainian media in an interview published on Monday in Forbes. "There's a competition between our brigades. We strike one target, then we see a neighboring brigade doing the same, then another one."

Forbes reported that as Russian forces try to reach the north of the city, they must cross miles of roads and fields exposed to Ukrainian artillery fire.

"Each column that advances along this direction is within firing range from several of our brigades," Green said. "They are within striking distance of mortars and brigade-level tactical artillery."

Zelensky has been very quiet since William Burns visited last week. Why is that?

How does this even qualify as a secret?

Asked and answered on the other thread...Zelensky hasn't been quiet at all but busy all weekend, as usual.

Zelensky meets Swiss president in Kyiv

President Volodymyr Zelensky and his Swiss counterpart Alain Berset met in Kyiv on Nov. 25, discussing the use of frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine and Switzerland's role in implementing Zelensky's peace formula, among other things.

"It is a powerful message for Ukrainians all over the world that you have decided to visit Ukraine on a special day in our history for all our families - the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor," Zelensky told Berset, as cited by Ukraine's Presidential Office.

Zelenskiy Says Ukraine 'Cannot Be Broken,' Citing Russian Invasion, 1932-33 Famine

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy declared that Ukraine “cannot be broken” as he cited his country’s fight against the Russian invasion and marked the anniversary of the famine regarded by Ukrainians to be a deliberate act perpetrated by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.

"Ukrainians went through very terrible things...Once they wanted to destroy us with hunger -- now, with darkness and cold," Zelenskiy said on November 26 in a video message.

"We cannot be broken," he declared.

Arty Green, a Ukrainian artillery commander,

Does this translate into “I’m a green Arty commander?”

Artillery with no harm to the environment. Amazing.

5.56mm

An artillery commander named “Arty?” Sure he is? Couldn’t it be “Boomer?” sort of poetic

Zelensky’s wife sure was starving and cold as she stumbled through Paris with a purse full of US taxpayer cash falling into stores and being forced to buy designer fashions and jewelry.

As she exhaustingly exited her last exclusive shop she found the strength to ask her generous with other people’s money spouse “Vlod, I would feel more energetic if we could request others to share those frozen assets so that we may not starve”.

He replied “why of course my darlink, we cannot be broken”.

Oh the pity. He is so full of shat.

And? So??
Putain’s hordes have murdered and tortured and raped and deported thousands of Ukrainians and turned their cities into rubble.
Putain is coordinating with Emperor Xi and the insane Mullahs against us, Israel and other allies.

Cry me a river Russkies. Good hunting Ukies.
