Nov 11 (Reuters) - Ukraine's top military commander, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said on Tuesday that the army's situation has "significantly worsened" in parts of southeastern Zaporizhzhia region amid fierce fighting with Russian forces.

"The situation has significantly worsened in the Oleksandrivka and Huliapole directions, where, using its numerical superiority in personnel and materiel, the enemy advanced in fierce fighting and captured three settlements," Syrskyi wrote on Telegram.

Zelensky took units from other regions to try to stabilize the situation in Pokrovsk and unblock the surrounded troops

They should have pulled out of Pokrovsk weeks ago but since Zelensky told Trump Russia wasn’t winning he would make him look bad if they did

Zelensky is a liar and/or delusional with lots of crazy out of touch statements lately

The front in the Zaporizhzhia direction is collapsing

Russian forces have broken through Ukrainian defenses in eastern Zaporizhzhia Oblast and advanced toward Huliaipole, according to OSINT channels.

Military analysts warn that if this pace continues, the city could be encircled or captured within two weeks.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have confirmed difficulties in the area. Ukrainian troops withdrew from several positions near five settlements in the Huliaipole sector, said Southern Defense Forces spokesman Vladyslav Voloshyn

“Ukrainian investigators today accused a key ally of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of orchestrating a US$100 million ($170m) corruption scheme, as a major standoff over graft in the war-torn country escalates.
The accusations against Timur Mindich are the latest episode in a sweeping corruption scandal involving claims of massive embezzlement from the energy sector, even as the country’s infrastructure is battered by Russian attacks.
Mindich co-owns the media production company Kvartal 95, founded by Zelenskyy, who was a star comedian before running for office.”

Slav vs. Slav, about to enter it's fourth year of carnage.

What a stupid waste, while Western Europe is overrun by Islam.

I wonder if the authorities have located Timur Mindich yet?

They might try the Bidens’ place in Delaware.

And the EU wants to drag Poland into it, so more Slavs are killed off.

Both diluting and demoralizing their own Western EU population, and occupying Russia with a lengthy war on its border - are part of the Davos/British Empire/Globalist plan.

Russian PROPAGAAAAAAÀAAADAHHHHHHJH. Oh wait, this is Ukrainian brass.

Americans, particularly ignorant Zeeper cheer-whores should occasionally try non-western, non-clown, non-swamp owned media. Those who are not trapped in the echo chamber have known about this and the Provosk situation for a while.

The situation in Ukraine is dire. It will not be a nice place, at all, this winter.

One thing I cannot understand or believe, is nearly nobody on pur side sees that Russia is using this to suck western resources, gear and funds into their kill-box. I’ve heard Russian military VIPs actually BRAG about it, publicly.

Remember the Bradleys all the Zeeps were jerking themselves over? The F-16s that were coming to the rescue? The M1 tanks? All the Euro stuff?

WHERE IS ALL... MORONS? The same place where all the hundreds of billions went. Down the fkn toilet, for nothing. Good thing we listened to shitheads like Keane, Hoffman and Lindsey. They, literally should be dragged when this is done.

America and Europe has become dumb and soft from “fighting” 3rd world rag heads in the Mideast for 3 decades. All we ever had to do there is throw a bunch of money and fancy gear around - and call any objectors/detractors “5th columnists.”

Now we’re surprised to none of it not works any longer.

But Zelensky can play piano with his genitals, that is a record among world leaders. Very unusual talent.

“Slav vs. Slav, about to enter it’s fourth year of carnage.”

A civil war between brothers. We should have never gotten involved except for humanitarian relief.

That would be an excellent place to start!

Realistically, without U.S. arms and financial backing:

Ukraine would probably collapse or be forced into surrender/cease-fire by mid-to-late 2023.

A puppet regime in Kyiv or partition (with western Ukraine possibly holding out guerrilla-style) might emerge.

“Any loan or lease of military equipment to Ukraine would still be subject to all applicable laws concerning the return of such equipment.”
I don’t think we’re getting back the Abrams on display in Red square.

Servant of the People (TV Series 2015–2019)

After a Ukrainian high-school teacher’s tirade against government corruption goes viral on social media, he finds himself elected the country’s new president.

Starring Volodymyr Zelenskyy a.k.a. Wolodymyr Selenski

Also star of a Paramount Pictures production directed by SEAN PENN named SUPERPOWER.

Gee..... it almost seems like Hollywood had a hand in ensuring there was a war so they could get good footage for Sean Penn.
