President Vladimir Putin vowed Wednesday to push back Ukrainian forces to reduce the threat of attacks on Russian territory as he met with activists running his campaign ahead of the March presidential election that he’s all but certain to win.

Anyone else notice that the Ukrainian successes are all basically guerilla warfare successes and not battlefield successes?
“Putin Vows to Make Military Gains in Ukraine...”
No need to ‘vow’, today’s Ukraine War map does his talking.
Russia lost the Battle of the Black Sea to a country without a navy.
Great comment fellow American…
Wait till you see the outcome….I posted the planned Russian “ dead zone” much talked about in non Western press….not a small “DMZ”, but when Vlad finally secures his ethnic Russian provinces, the “ Dead Zone” will extend from his provinces West “ up to the Dniepner “ if “ required “…..the collective west shot them selves in the foot- again.
What dictates the Russian Federation’s Dead Zone? The range of the West’s missiles…longer range supplied missiles- the wider the Dead Zone. He will not tolerate the Ukie Nazis to bomb the Russian Donbass cities ever again.
So, when the war ends ( they all do), we hopefully will see Ukraine’s new border on the East as the Dniepner, a huge 180-500 KM Dead Zone up to the Donbass…..of course Romania and Hungary announced a few days ago, “ if” Russia wins, they want their historic lands back…..which then reduces Ukraine into a tiny nation- just like St Zelensky- a tiny, corrupted man.
Sit back and watch the show.
It's either unconditionally surrender and accept the fact those in the area Russia liberated don't want to go back to being part of Ukraine or lose more and more territory.
And, unconditional surrender means Ukraine must remain neutral and abandon any association with NATO.
Russian calls home from the “Special military operation.”
“Honey I’m in Ukraine.”
“Did you take Kyiv?”
“No.”
“Did you take Odessa?”
“No.”
“Did you take Kharkiv?”
“No.”
“Well what DID you take?”
“A toilet, a hairdryer and a laptop.”
Where’s Gerasimov?
Much rage I detect in Zepperville
FREEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!
Mercouris discusses this well known “ buffer zone”. I posted about it a year or so ago when the Russian military and their Congress had meetings about it. The military wants a “ Dead” zone, the lawmakers prefer to say “ Buffer “ Zone…it pays to read the real news, not senile Joe’s MSM.

What Zaluzhnyi doink?
"Dying for The Narrative."
Taking chunks of land by the day now.
I’d call it terrorism, given that the military and not civilians are behind them.
The Rus are not making battle field successes either.
Its basically a static front. WWI style.
imho this works to the advantage of Rus.
All they really need to do is freeze the front in place. that’s the place where the new frontier becomes. they have achieved their initial war aims.
its pretty clear that the ukes don’t have the manpower or the munitions to take back the lands the Rus now occupy. But the technology has shifted in favor of defense warfare at which the ukes are quite good. So the Rus can’t take much more ground—under current circumstances.
