Russian forces have continued to advance in the northern Ukrainian region of Sumy, bringing the regional capital within range of their drones and artillery, according to Ukrainian officials and analysts.

A spokesman for the Ukrainian military in the area, Ivan Shevtsov, said that in addition to trying to advance towards Sumy city, Russian forces were constantly shelling the area and more evacuations of civilians were taking place.

“At the moment, the territory that the enemy has already occupied is about 15 kilometers along the front line and about 6-7 kilometers deep,” Shevtsov said. He added that the Russians were trying to advance towards the town of Yunakivka, within a few kilometers of their current positions.

For its part, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed Tuesday that its forces had captured the village of Andriivka as they broadened the front, according to the official TASS news agency.

All metrics in every sector show Russiagoing broke, economy, unpayable debt, population, productivity, demographics, manufacturing….if they continue with this war, they will cease to exist as a nation.

Abel Reyna will convict all those dirty biker gangs!!!

[kiryandil]

And here comes the case for America’s involvement in war given to US by a Bush/Rove Texan.

He was ALL IN on Abel Reyna convicting the "biker gangs" at Twin Peaks.

He would spam every Waco thread with his BS.

“Vlad isn’t stopping until he regains fully his five ethnic Russian provinces, “

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That’s an invented Russian propaganda.

Those four regions are ethnically Ukrainian, NOT Russian.
Only Crimea has a majority of Russians.

The Russians are just stealing territory which isn’t theirs, while committing arson, rape, bombings, terrorism - hand in hand with their very close allies : Islamic Iran and Communist North Korea.

Here is the chart proving clear Ukraine ethnic majority in the four stolen regions by Russia:

The trouble is that Lindsey Graham and blumenthal are telling Zelensky that the legislative branch is going to one-up Trump and pass sanctions on Russia that will turn everything around. Zelensky has always been a puppet of the US Deep State, and Graham is telling them that the Deep State still owns the legislative branch.

We really, really need for Patel and Bongino to get through all the stuff in that hidden room and find Dennis Montgomery’s evidence of who all James Clapper and John Brennan spied on through “The Hammer” looking for extortion material - particularly on judges and justices but also, I would imagine, on whatever politicians they didn’t already have extortion material on through Epstein. They also need to focus the Epstein investigation on who got the bribery tapes that Epstein made, and how those tapes were used. Was it just Mossad, or was it also the CIA who had and used those tapes? And how many in the legislative branch of the US Fedgov were extorted that way? THAT is what we need to know - and to prosecute.

In addition, I believe that Biden’s records of how John Brennan’s company sanitized Obama’s passport file need to be exposed and prosecuted. That whole coup of 2008 needs to be prosecuted. The FBI ‘files on the extraction of Loretta Fuddy to fake her death at the time when Dennis Montgomery was presenting his evidence that he had breached the Hawaii Dept of Health database on behalf of Clapper and Brennan’s plan to upload a new, perverted database on behalf of Obama (which are well-supported by the records request responses I received showing the same thing)... need to be recovered as well and that whole mess needs to be exposed.

Basically, Bondi, patel, and Bongino need to get the evidence of the 2008 coup and the following subversion of all the branches and agencies of government - at federal, state, and local levels - together and ready to present to Pete Hegseth, so that the US government can be declared to be overtaken by hostile forces and the perpetrators given military tribunals.

Given all that is at stake in the world right now - when we’ve got a US Senator praising Zelensky for a terrorist attack on another country using civilian vehicles to attack military installations - this needs to happen much faster than I’ve previously been willing to give them the time for investigation. They need to pull in Musk and his team to go through Montgomery’s terabytes of encrypted data, and they need to have that team also orchestrate AI to go through all the evidence looking for specific prosecutable things, so this can be geared up to meet our existential need.

It wants us to respond to its trolling.

It’s how it gets off on Free Republic.

Might be, but I think it is important to counter them. You never know when an argument might hit the target. 🙂👍

It cost nothing to exercise your right to engage in free speech. 😁

Wait for it.

Maybe you’ll grow up one day.

You are a victim of western MSM. The Russian Donbass extending to Odessa ( next on Vlads chopping block?) has been ethnic Russian for centuries.

Katherine the Great founded Odessa and invested in the Donbass, believing anything else is a fool’s game.

The best answer to this war is what NATO did to Yugoslavia, carve them up. Poland, Russia, Romania, and Hungary each get their historic territories returned to them from an imposter nation called “Ukraine”.

The corrupted, immoral little green a goblin can rule over what is left, if he isn’t hung up on a lamppost by his people for what he has done to them.

In any case, carry on, Private.

At this point, one must wonder, objectively, if a good relationship with Russia wouldn’t be far more productive than one with the fallen Muzloid/Marxist s**thole the EU is becoming. Our relationship with the EU is in the toilet now anyway, and their self-inflicted devolution is upon them.

They do nothing for us but suck on us, like leeches on every front. Trillions now since the Marshall Plan. Oh and they tried to take out Trump, our elected President, then blame RUSSIA... so there’s that.

Fk these people to hell.

[Williams]

Your comments seem well reasoned of late.

I thought it’s been announced they are coming to discuss weapon supplies.

Trump will never put us on the ground in that war.

I just suspect that with Putin’s delays, Trump has given Ukraine a go ahead to do whatever they’ve been holding back on at our request.

Zelensky’s plane is flying to the US - Yermak is on board
————-
He is going on a trip to apologize ( no apologizing for this stunt) for his bombing of the strategic Russian nuclear weapons bases, without advising Trump. He is doing his best to drag us into war.

He will , as usual, return with his tail between his legs. I fully expect his “ tune” will change, and strange how he is once again leaving his country while Ukraine waits for Russia’s response….he never seems to be in country during Vlad’s retaliatory strikes.

I've been saying all along that Russia should/would take Odessa, for any number of reasons - not the least of which using it as a bargaining chip... if they don't jusy keep it.

Strange, Ukraine gets their Independence from Soviet Russia, but when the Russian Donbass wants their independence from Ukraine and their Neo- Nazis, the Victoria Nuland types start bombing them…..nauseating hypocrisy.

"Russian forces advance in northern Ukraine, within range of major city of Sumy"

...and predictably, immediately open fire indiscriminately on the the supposed Russian civilians that they are supposedly trying to liberate.

5 salvo loads of notoriously inaccurate Russian Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS - probably Grads) were fired randomly into the edge of Sumy City on June 3rd, 2025.

So begins the demolition of yet another urban area, where the people simply wanted to be free of Russian oppression. When/if Russia gets close enough to jump their tube Artillery within range, the usual demolition of the civilian housing stock and infrastructure will undoubtedly commence in earnest, in full and open violation of the Laws of War, to which Russia is signatory, as per SOP.

June 3rd, Sumy City.
