Russia's invasion of Ukraine appears to have ground to a halt with no significant territory captured despite a weekend of heavy fighting, with Kyiv's men claiming to have taken out dozens of helicopters and recaptured a city this morning - sparking hopes that the unlikeliest of victories may be on the cards.
Putin's men renewed their bombardments on Mariupol, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv this morning as his forces also tried to surround Kyiv in preparation for an assault, but have not significantly advanced their frontline since the city of Kherson and nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia were captured last week.
Meanwhile the Ukrainian armed forces claimed to have destroyed up to 30 Russian helicopters that had been moved to Chornobaivka airport, near Kherson, overnight and to have retaken the city of Chuhuiv, near Kharkiv, killing two Russian commanders - Lt. Col. Dmitry Safronov, and Lt Col. Denis Glebov - in the process.
Russia also tacitly acknowledged the loss of two other commanders - Colonel Konstantin Zizevsky and Lieutenant Colonel Denis Glebov - whose funerals were held in Russia at the weekend.
Video also emerged which appeared to show Ukrainian defence forces based in Odessa, the country's largest port, exchanging fire with ships overnight - one of which suffers a hit. Ukraine's ministry of defence has since claimed the vessel was destroyed.

US intelligence believes Russia has committed 95 per cent of the invasion force it had assembled on Ukraine's border to the fight, meaning significant reinforcements to push its attacks forward are unlikely to come soon - and could simply run into many of the same logistical problems that plagued the early assault.

The same fox news that was practically first in line to declare a biden victory? That fox news?
Must be true then...
Straw man argument.
Come back when the Daily Mail provides real evidence on this.
And I would expect them to do the same with covering Biden in an expose.
Point is, you are trying to justify lyung which makes you a liar.
You a Conservative? Pffft.
I don't know how, or if, he voted before, but he is and always will be a reliable democrat voter from now on!
Yeah I hear you. I’ll never forget how happy the were on election every time Biden pulled ahead. My wife had the tv on in the bedroom and I heard that blurb.
So where are all the bodies?. The grounds frozen over there. Are they blasting holes and dumping corpses in?
And yet there are odiots here who say we should suspend our desire for evidence from the media to back up their claims during wartime.
Other than opium and a few hand woven rugs and some semiprecious stones hand extracted from the dirt, how much truck did Afghanistan have to isolate from the rest of the world?
*lying
Being an ex in KGB thuggery, is akin to Jar Heads never thinking of themselves as being an ex.
And remember, it’s about the Daily Mail’s reporting being true or not, it’s not about me.
But you deflected to me and used a veiled Ad Hominem attack (”To the Man,”) a libtard tactic, making you a libtard.
who is it?
Crenshaw?
The Russians have a "cauldron" surrounding 60,000 Ukrainian troops and their neo-Nazi Azov battalion buddies in Eastern Ukraine. They have at least three more "cauldrons" formed in Ukraine. Cities are encircled. They have a stranglehold on Ukraine.
They a mass surrender and/or negotiated settlement to avoid the loss of life on both sides.
Yes, yes it is.
I disagree with you.
Troll.
Total nonsense
Mariupol is part of DPR
Russians don’t control Mariupol and are bombing it to the ground so it will not be part of Russian territory when the deal is finalized.
The Uke army is holed up in the cities imbedded with the people
Why?
Cause they know Putin fears the PR of going hard on the cities
Which is why they offered exits to civilians. Who were discouraged from leaving
I know I know
If you read beyond the globalist propaganda media you can find something to counter that you’re posting
Course it may be propaganda too
And maybe glean the truth somewhere in between
Russians are parked all around Kiev for five days now
Where’s this grand Uke Army or Air Force moving them out?
It’s not
Not there or any other hot zone
This is now a PR game as much as a war....
Globalist run the western media no question
But they don’t control the ground ...
Well see
Rather than attack me personally which you guys do....let’s see how it goes
If I’m wrong I’ll admit it and you can have sport with me
I tired of the propaganda and the tone
Fair question. There were early reports of mobile crematoriums following the Russian columns. Putin did NOT want coverage of flag covered coffins flying back into Russia.
He learned well from "our" press' wall to wall coverage of our war dead.
Dead Russian soldiers urned [sic] their fate.
Ukraine doesn’t have a chance militarily in the long term. A stalled 40 mile long Russian convoy (if true) is telling though. The Ruskies are not the world beaters we thought they were.
The 40 mile Russian convoy is not “stalled”. It’s abandoned.
