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.

I think Russia has concluded that they must now in light of MI6/CIA operations occupy and reclainm all of Ukraine right up the Polish border. As long as Ukraine exists the west will cynically use the population as a hostage army to fight Russia.
The Russians are now under no illusions. The west will use Ukraine until they defeat all of it.
Trump has told the French and British to get out of Ukraine along with the US.
Your idea of Russian propoganda starts with the ideas of American and British propoganda designed to create a hostile Ukrainian government and all the manufactured BS turn Ukraine into a battering ram for NATO, using hostage Ukrainians.
Cynical are NATO and the West. Blood money has supported the EU for 250 years. This will change and the EU will have to abandon it’s socialism and get their people back to work in farming and manufacturing in order to live and eat. For too long the EU has starved Africans by imposition of unequal trade deals after the installation of leaders handpicked by the west - usually after attending wester colleges in the US or Britian.
Vald isn’t stopping until the Polish Border. That’s the new reality.
In 2014, there was the Crimean Status vote after Putin took and occupied Crimea by force.
The same thing happened in Donetsk and Luhansk with supposedly "Ukrainian separatists".
That's three oblasts. Those are referendums after being invaded and occupied by force.
I believe that's what is the most likely response.
Meanwhile the CCP will win S. Korea at the ballot box and they will invade Taiwan.
Add to that the potential for war in the Middle East and civil war in the West.
The globalists were compromised long ago by foreign interests. This is the result.
“Katherine the Great founded Odessa”
...by simply renaming the pre-existing Mongol-established port city of Khadjibey.
Delta7 merely parroted Putin’s stated goals of the Special Military Operation.

Most here never even listened to Vlad’s speech on day one, preferring to listen to western tripe. Rock solid, hasn’t changed.
Lucky for the EU and Ukraine that Vlad is still classifying this civil war as an “ SMO” and not declaring war. The brain dead here have no idea what happens when Vlad and the Duma declare war…..Full mobilization of their 1.4 million man army and increasing it, the state nationalizes every sector, much like the US after Pearl Harbor….Britain and the EU then become legitimate targets…a few non nuclear Oreshniks on London, Brussels, Paris, all those supplying Ukraine go bang into the night.

Simply put, Russia is a nation of laws,
It is true at this point, that the globalists are more of a threat than Russia.

Wow, there may not be any good examples of a nation of laws remaining, but to call the mother of mafia run government a nation of laws is...sorry I cant finish. I am starting to laugh to hard.
So begins the demolition of yet another urban area, where the people simply wanted to be free of Russian oppression.

So begins the demolition of yet another urban area, where the people simply wanted to be free of Ukrainian oppression.Just ask the people of Donetsk, that were getting bombed by Ukraine since 2014.
Where, other than the uninhabitable places, is there dirt that has not been fought over, endlessly.
As I said... "The EU + Britain + US Neocons = The Globalists".
And that's ignoring the likelyhood that the Globalists have been highly infiltrated by the CCP and the Jihadists.
“Those were his stated goals from day one, very simple.”
LOL!
Putin tried to take Kiev on Day One.
He failed. Now Russia is going broke.
Wait till they find out Putin has raid their pension funds to pay for his two-week war.
It is always encouraging to read what makes common sense.

and they will invade Taiwan.

Not yet, have you not been following? China’s past two maneuvers have concentrated on isolating Taiwan. Circling Taiwan with their Navy, and imposing a no fly zone gives Taiwan about 30 days before they are strangled.
My distant relative in Taiwan states the people do not want war with China, they are very happy trading ( billions in commerce) and doing the majority of their business with them. She further states the majority of people have no stomach for war- only their leaders are talking war- sound familiar?
Yes!
China’s past two maneuvers have concentrated on isolating Taiwan.
Hegseth and others are saying they are rehearsing for an invasion. Have you not been following?
You’re a better man than I. I’m just a grouchy infanty vet who’d rather smash my way through the libtards and commies lol.
I have to agree with you, the Soviet Union was not and the problem is that everyone tries to make the argument that Russia is the same as the Soviet Union which is just not true.
If the Soviet Union were still in control they would have never allowed Ukraine to break free or any of the other satellite nations, and they didn't.
/ But if Russia was like the Soviet Union, they would have never gone to the International Community to seek a peaceful resolution to the threat Russia considered NATO expansion into Ukraine presented to Russia.
Has Russia ignored some agreements they have signed on to?
Yes, but always in retaliation for broken promises they have verbally received & believed that they would be honored.
They keep bringing up up things that the Soviet Union did to Ukraine, to build the narrative that Russia will do the same, even though Russia has not done the same, but it's an age old tactic to tie the two as being the same in every aspect, even though Stalin was from Georgia, not Russia, and it was he that crated the Soviet Union.
Russia has been treated differently than we have treated defeated enemies, following hostilities.
Russia was an ally in WWII, while an ally we had in WWII, China, was abandoned to fall into communist control.
Apparently, these people have no clue when it comes to reality. Reality is that China is in the process of taking South Korea via the ballot box with the theft of the election, after leveling lawfare against the sitting president there.
What happened in Ukraine pails in comparison of what is transpiring in South Korea, but they are oblivious that China is in the process of seizing the entire Korean Peninsula, with their sights set on far more that is within what they consider as originally parts of China under the One China Policy that democrats have basically agreed to recognize. Those nations include Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia the Philippines ad others I probably fail to mention, because China actually seeks world domination. They are in competition with the elites who think they should be the one who rule the world.
Russia actually sought to become closely aligned with the west, because China has always been a major concern for Russia, but the Soviet Union embraced them because they were much stronger than Russia is by itself.
Russia’s negotiating statement, full transcript.

Sounds reasonable to me., insuring Peace. Russia has been tricked so many times by the West, an agreement with teethe should stop that from happening in the future.
There is only one province with an ethnic Russian majority, Crimea, and Russia already had it. Zelensky offered no NATO and Putin turned him down. "Neo-Nazi" is just a euphemism for Ukrainian nationalism, not real Nazis. De-Nazification is the plan to erase the Ukrainian national identity and subsume it into Russian. And that is why Ukraine will continue to resist, very simple.
