Think again... Taking that town cuts the only supply route open for units west of Donetsk. It also a big ATO supply base.

KIEV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Friday that Ukrainian forces had attacked and destroyed part of a column of Russian military vehicles on Ukrainian territory, a step that, if confirmed, would represent a significant escalation of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia.
Poroshenko told British Prime Minister David Cameron that “the majority” of a column of Russian military vehicles “had been destroyed by the Ukrainian artillery at night,” his office said in a statement. The announcement came as NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Friday that the defense alliance had seen an “incursion” into Ukraine the previous night.

“Pound sand, Putinista. Your hero and his team are losing.”
lol...
Thanx for proving my point, and so quickly, too!
As I said, your hysterical hypocrisy does your cause no favors.
My cause is liberty. Your cause is Putin. You’re a Putinista troll.
The girl with cat is more likely fleeing from Russians who are raping, looting and killing Ukrainians.
“My cause is liberty.”
Through ethnic cleansing??
By attacking people that want independence??
Like I said. Hypocrite.
Just how long do Freepers have to put up with this tcrlaf reposting this lie about Ukrainians being Nazis? It has been shown to be a lie many times here.
Freep this Russian bootlicking liar.
Oh yeah, I get it. Ukraine is attacking Russia and ethnically cleansing it. Everyone’s always picking on poor lil Russia! LOL. You a buffoon.
The road between Mariupol and Donetsk doesn't go anywhere near Amvrosiyevka.
It's physically impossible to cut off UK units WEST of Donetsk by taking the town of Amvrosiyevka which is to the SOUTHEAST of Donetsk.
And more than like the town town of Amvrosiyevka will fall back to UK like all the rest of the towns.
Other than all that...good post.
LOL.
You wouldn’t get liberty if it was given to you. Here you are in the U.S. cheering for Russia and Putin who not only oppress their neighbors but people of Russia where it is death or prison to even speak against Putin and his gov’t of thugs.
I guess we’ll put up with it until Jim Robinson says otherwise because it’s his site. He can have pro-Putin phony conservatives on it if he wants.
“Here you are in the U.S. cheering for Russia and Putin”
More fallaciuous arguments?
REALLY?
Those Putinistas do not care about their lies being apparent for those paying attention. They are working on fooling those who don’t yet know what is going on. They post articles and invade threads with putting up circlejerks scratching each other’s backs and talking about Kerry, Obama, Soros, homonazijunta of Kyiv and evil protestants.
Meanwhile in the real world their favorite Russian shit is supported only by these 10 countries:
Armenia, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, North Korea, Nicaragua, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.
No one else!
In addition to the 2004 and 2010 elections map, you also need to look at 1991, 1994 and 2014 presidential map
What it shows is that in 1991 the only ones voting for a pro-democratic pro-Ukrainian candidate Chornovil was Galicia.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_presidential_election,_1991
In 1994, that candidate, relatively speaking, was Kravchuk, and the Ukrainian “nationalists” had now spread to Kiev and Cherkasy.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_presidential_election,_1994
1999 election was an anomaly, Galicia voted against the commie and voted same as some other regions in the east.
2004 and 2010 elections show that the Ukrainian “facsists” made further progress to Sumy, Poltava, Kirovohrad. (In 2010, had it not been for political infighting and the financial crisis, it would have been greater, but oh well, live and learn. Maybe the guys in charge learned something.)
No need to comment on the 2014 elections where Poroshenko won throughout the country. Pro-Russian candidate, Dobkin, in the middle of a war against Russia, did not do well.
It still might too early to call pro-Russian candidates and parties dead, but when you have Russian troops crossing the border and kill Ukrainians there, the number of Ukrainian “nationalists” (as Russia calls them, but it’s just common sense patriotism), it should increase in the south and east of the country.
Good point. In most of the world, the Putinista FReeper worldview is limited to oligarchy’s of dictatorships.
Think again... Taking that town cuts the only supply route open for units west of Donetsk. It also a big ATO supply base.
That’s pretty damn funny, coming from the guy that won’t admit that the person running Ukraine’s War effort is himself a Nazi, (parubiy), and that there are actual Nazi militia units in the field.
They are stinking up the place and it is sad. Save Free Republic from the Russkies!
And they have been fooling some who don’t know what is going on. There was a freeper on a thread the other day that didn’t know there was an election in Ukraine and said it was false that Ukraine had an election saying it was an illegal coup and most Ukrainians considered the current govt illegal.
Same with this BS about the majority in eastern Ukraine supporting the rebels. When out of millions of people in eastern Ukraine the rebels numbered less than a thousand who lived in Ukraine. And the low info here have been repeating this lie.
It is thread after thread of repeated lies and nobody does anything about it.
Anytime you try to discuss Ukraine these Russkies flood the thread with utter crap to kill the thread and spread their lies.
They’re like the politically correct on campus who drown out conservative thought there. On this site, they drown out American conservative thought and belief to replace it with allegiance to Putin and his warped brand of conservatism, mostly idolatry and Russian chauvinism.
