KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine’s army has pulled out from the village of Urozhaine in the eastern Donetsk region, an official said Thursday, surrendering another front-line position as Russian forces blast Ukrainian defenses in a relentless onslaught.
The village was reduced to rubble which “made it impossible to hold the positions there,” Nazar Voloshyn, a spokesperson for local ground forces, told The Associated Press in a written message. He did not say when the pullout occurred.
Russia seized Urozhaine in the early days of the war that began after Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor in February 2022. Ukrainian troops recaptured it almost a year ago. Russia´s Defense Ministry had claimed its army retook the village several days ago.

The front keeps going west. Thoughts?
Kyiv in 3 days!
They are following our culture wars strategy....
Thoughts?
It’s so over I don’t even follow the news on it anymore.
LOL!!
Another bit of Ukraine genocidally erased by invading Russian Nazis. Typical to see the finger painters among us find joy and entertainment in misery and death of others.
The Uke regime might just see the writing on the wall. With Trump in power the war might be over in short order. They best firm up a new border, go for a ceasefire and negotiate a settlement.
If they gamble on a dem win and installed next January, much more territory could be lost, including the whole country.
With a Ruskie win of new territory and the US drastically reducing NATO funding, the Euro war mongers will be frantically trying to upgrade their military and have to spend oodles of their own money to do it. This is something that should have been done decades ago.
My take from within the propaganda and censorship bubble imposed by the Biden Regime is that the Russian Army has ground down the Ukrainians to the point of collapse. The only way now that the Ukraine could survive is with western troops. There is massive, pent up anger in the West and particularly in Europe and for regular citizens the prospect of being drafted and sent to die by the hundreds of thousands, perhaps even by the millions will spark revolutions.
Damn, I want one of those.
If we were not giving away our entire munitions supply/equipment and $ we don’t have to give to Little George Zelensky I wouldn’t care one way or the other. Let the nazi Ukes and Ivan throat punch each other into oblivion.
Without massive aid from the U.S. and NATO the poor Ukrainians would have lost over a year ago. The moment aid and money from the west dries up the Ukraine will be forced to surrender.
The game changer was the FAB bombs. They can take out a building in one shot. The same building would take a week for artillery to demolish. The FAB and Russia’s advantage in artillery and manpower are too much for a fading Ukrainian military.
Russian forces blast Ukrainian defenses in a relentless onslaught.... The article is mostly bunk, stating the Russia Full Scale Invasion in Feb 2022....
Russia fought the first year of this war with 60,000 combat arms soldiers and 130,000 support troops. The second year saw Russia train 650,000 soldiers, and withstand the NATO planned and directed Assault on Crimea, which never broke the first actual line of defense. The third year has seen Russian forces train another 570,000 men and in the 28th month they finally reached 500,000 men in Ukraine. Today they have reduced the pre-war AFU of 800,000 active and 400,000 reserves/police battalions/national guards, to a force of less than 600,000 standing strong.
In December 2023 the FAB 500s broke the seige lines and NATO built defenses. In June 2024 the FAB 3000s have terrorized the Ukrainian ground forces becasue by December 2023 the AFU air defense umbrella was mostly destroyed.
July 2024 marked the beginning of the end of the war. The Trump ticket and RNC policy will end the war in Ukraine. Zelinski is not going to be president if Ukraine wants to negotiate their surrender.
It took Russia two years to train and equip an army that continues to grow at a rate of 300,000 every six months.
Even Ukraine’s commanding general has expressed his opinion that the war is lost, and the head of the Security Services (CIA types) has stated Ukriane cannot stop Russia and both fear total defeat.
The Russian Army learns slowly but it does learn and they do not give up easily. The Russian military is now battle tested and has ramped up its doctrine, tactics and technology to the point that I believe it is the strongest military on land. Aside from its nuclear submarine fleet the Russian navy really isn’t a factor.
One thing you never hear mentioned is that if NATO and America join the war against Russia then China will then enter the war. There is no way that China will permit a western dominated Russia increasing their encirclement. If there’s one thing China has plenty of, it is young men, money and munitions.
