The Kremlin said on Friday that what it calls Russia's "special operation" in Ukraine could end in the "foreseeable future" since its aims were being achieved and work was being carried out by both the Russian military and Russian peace negotiators.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also said Moscow understood that some countries that had tried to adopt a balanced position had been subjected to pressure to vote on Thursday to suspend Russia from the U.N. Human Rights Council.

Putin’s spokespeople are losing it:

Video:

Maria Zakharova declared that the reason for war was Ukrainians didn’t want to share borscht with her. Also she is apparently absolutely drunk.

The Kremlin is starting to understand the inevitable. They lost. Not just militarily- it will take a generation for the world to respect Russia again. Despite the deceit and corruption in goverments - the world does not approve of warfare against civilians.

Tucker Carlson was complicit in The Steal.

Can’t wait until the rest of Hunter Biden’s wiped emails and photos are recovered so we’ll see another Bow Tie Pudge Boy Tucker on-air panic attack like last time.

It will take way more than a generation for the world to respect Russia. Sweden is abandoning two centuries of neutrality and will join NATO in response to Putin’s butchery in Ukraine. Likewise Finland, inventor of Finlandization, will be joining NATO in the coming weeks. All thanks to the blundering mass murder of Putinist Russia.

There is not much left of the Ukrainian Army and Air Force that Russia can destroy. Brief by Austrian General Staff. See chart at 6:28. No wonder Zelensky is asking for heavy weapons. All but one TB2 UAV destroyerd. 30,000 personnel destroyed. 112 of 152 aircraft destroyed. 1,587 of 2,416 tanks or armored vehicles destroyed.

Wagner group mercenaries are getting their asses kicked in Luhansk. They’re finding out Ukraine isn’t Syria.

doubt it. maybe more like 3-6 months to take the whole Donbass regions.. video with terrain map at link.. it was always expected to be slow going there..
.
DPR units with support of Russian forces are advancing and securing their rears to the east of the town of Maryinka, where fierce street fighting continues.

On April 6, the Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed that DPR units finished the mop up operation in the village of Sladkoye. The 11th regiment of the DPR broke through fierce resistance of the AFU and took control over the village.

Meanwhile, units of the Russian army entered the village of Novomikhailovka to the south of the town of Maryinka.

Positional battles continue to the north of Avdiivka. After DPR forces took control over the village of Novobakhmutovka, they are strengthening their positions there. Several streets are still under the AFU control.

Ukrainian soldiers attempted a counterattack on the village of Verhnetoretskoe with 6 tanks and infantry, but were repelled. Advance of DPR forces at the Avdiivka—Konstantinovka highway is expected.

One of the main strongholds of the AFU in the region is the town of Novgorodskoe to the west of Gorlovka. After years of war, Ukrainian forces have heavily fortified the area. Fierce clashes reached some streets of the town, but the DPR advance is slowed down by the AFU advantage in forces. The DPR assault is carried out with the air support of the Russian Aerospace forces.

The AFU are amassing in the Kramatorsk, Artemovsk (or Bakhmut), Druzhkovka area, while Russian forces are attempting to surround the AFU grouping from the north.
