Russian forces have taken four border villages in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, a local official said Tuesday, days after Russian President Vladimir Putin said he had issued an order to establish a buffer zone along the border.
Meanwhile, a Russian bombing campaign that had escalated in recent days slowed overnight as far fewer Russian drones targeted Ukrainian towns and cities.
Moscow's invasion has shown no signs of stopping despite months of intense U.S.-led efforts to secure a ceasefire and get traction for peace talks. Since Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Turkey earlier this month for their first direct talks in three years, a large prisoner exchange has been the only tangible outcome, but negotiations have brought no significant breakthrough.
Between Friday and Sunday, Russia launched around 900 drones at Ukraine, officials said, amid a spate of large-scale bombardments. On Sunday night, Russia launched its biggest drone attack of the 3-year war against Ukraine, firing 355 drones.
From Monday to Tuesday, Russia fired 60 drones at Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said Tuesday. Russia’s Ministry of Defense claimed its air defenses downed 99 Ukrainian drones overnight over seven Russian regions.

“Russia Seizes Ukrainian Border Villages as Its Massive Bombing Campaign Slows”
New York Times Headline:
“Russia out of Missiles as its Massive Bombing Campaign Slows”
Thanks, Janet!
Sorry Bob, I don’t read the Slimes, I ran out of rubber gloves.
The next 60 to 90 days maybe more will be very telling, we are on the verge of the Ukraine war spreading.
The Europeans appear to be hell bent on going to war with Russia, refusing to accept that Ukraine is losing and has no ability to turn this around.
Invading the Kursk Region and attempting to shoot down Putin’s helicopter with drones IMO will turn out to be disastrous decisions.
I fear the Europeans are pushing for major war expansion as a way to suck the USA into the war, they keep poking the Russian Bear, the latest being removing any limitation on attacks inside of Russia with their weapons.
I think what the Europeans are trying to do is to provoke the Russians into hitting a NATO Country, triggering article 5 and sucking us into a war with Russia.
LOL!
I’m just posting hypothetical Western headlines to show Freepers how much they’re trying trick us.
Damn nazis, having Patriots, SU-27s, F-16s etc. they tried to shoot down Putin's helicopter with drones. Must be their nazi drone thing.
Even when I post from The Bee.
Damn green goblin nazi warmonger. Thank God President Putin is showing great restraint.
“The latest War update from the Presstitutes has more objective information and less Narrative.”
Ignoring reality has its consequences.
“...attempting to shoot down Putin’s helicopter”
Has it been established that Putin was in that helicopter?
Just curious.
That quote of the Presstitutes' text indicates that the Presstitutes no longer agree with the FR's Zeepers position that Russia is losing the War and is on the verge of collapse.
I wonder why the Presstitutes changed their Narrative?
Russia’s war is totally dependent on oil. Knock out the refineries and the war machine comes to a halt. We all know he’s out of modern MBTs, missiles, no Black Sea navy, no Air Force. All that’s left is museum quality armor from WWII, and conscripts.
….yeah, you area victim of western MSM, washing machine chips, out of artillery and ammo, using shovels, Ghost of Kiev aerial victories, Vlad’s cancer, etc, etc, etc.
Try weening yourself from the western narrative and seek other sources.
Since it was reported by Russian media you take it 100% as a sure thing, my point is the report was true what would be accomplished if Putin was killed??
Probably enraging the Russian people and his replacement would likely be more willing to escalate the situation
“Try weening yourself from the western narrative and seek other sources.”
Russia is going broke. You cannot deny that Putin has robbed the pension fund selling off liquid assets like their gold.
He only planned for a two-week war.
“Russia’s war is totally dependent on oil.”
Plus robbing their national pension fund.
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets-economy/090516/10-countries-most-natural-resources.asp
Russia’s natural resources reserves are worth $75 trillion by Statista’s estimate.
This amount incorporates, among other things, coal, oil, natural gas, gold, timber, and rare earth metals. …
Russia is the richest nation in the world and throw in only a 17 percent debt to GDP, and the US? 130 percent debt to GDP……a third grader can see how this plays out. Argue with the numbers, not me.
What's holding you up, are you French or something?
