Russian forces are fighting street-to-street battles with Ukrainian troops in the outskirts of the eastern Ukrainian town of Selydove as Moscow's forces push to gain control over the whole of the Donbas region, according to pro-Russian bloggers.

Russian forces, which President Vladimir Putin ordered into Ukraine in February 2022, advanced in September at their fastest rate since March 2022, according to open source data, despite Ukraine taking a part of Russia's Kursk region.

The thrust of the Russian advance over recent months has been in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region, over which Putin says he wants to gain full control.

In recent weeks, Russia has surrounded towns in Donetsk region and then slowly constricted them until Ukrainian units are forced to withdraw.

Boy are you cheap! :)

We are only 38 trillion in debt...send another trillion!!

They’re about to win!!

Even though the average age of their soldiers is 111 and the average training time before being sent to die (er, fight) is 2 hours and forty minutes.

Stop the massacre.

Dont give NATO and the military complex and the one worlders what they want... a world war.

Give a handgun to every household. The Soviets never considered invading the US> 300million guns-that’s why.

Come on guys Ukraine is worth anything. Our bankruptcy, why even a little nuclear war.

Sarcasm.

A Princeton study estimated 95,000,000 dead and 365,000,000 wounded in the FIRST FEW HOURS in a nuclear exchange between Russia and USA alone, not counting other nations.

Putin isn’t going to negotiate unless he is stopped and beaten. If not stopped, he will end the war when he has the land he wants for a buffer.

Yeah... that’s why the USSR never invaded America. Not because they were on the other side of the world or something.

The distance between mainland Russia and mainland Alaska is 55 miles.

Russia is having problems getting 50 miles into Ukraine, and that's where they can walk over on land. How would Russia possibly manage to get their troops 55 miles over water? Much less a significant number of them? With support? And logistics?
