Haha, more neocon porn!
I am not contesting anything; I am noting that with the Daily Mail, the hype very often is not backed up by sourcing sufficient to judge the accuracy of the story.

There is certainly nothing in the photo to identify the location. No buildings. no road signs. No mountains. And why the blurred out faces on the soldiers?
"Haha, more neocon porn!"
More bull, man….
"No buildings. no road signs. No mountains. And why the blurred out faces on the soldiers?"
Watch the video…….
Daily Mail is always good for a laugh!

even you and your fellow trolls can’t be dumb enough to believe this crap. Do they really pay you for this?
Here you go, Deutsche Welle: Ukraine forces in Kharkiv push through to Russian border — live updates

The Ukraine is losing up to 15,000 men per month to the war. The total Ukrainian casualties, dead and wounded, are likely already at 50,000. The weapons the U.S. and others provide, are not sufficient to sustain the war. The Ukraine has only 3 days reserves of diesel and gasoline left. The main parts of its forces are immobile and are getting surrounded by Russian forces. Their situation is hopeless.

Although barely any U.S. or European media mentioned this at all, the past week saw the destruction of the Kremenchug oil refinery, which the Associated Press—citing a Ukrainian official—conveyed was “not operational anyway”…..
…..So, no big deal! Right?
The oil tanks at Kremenchug had been damaged previously, but the facility—as one of the Ukraine’s only three functioning refineries at the start of the war, and one of only two large ones—has just lost its production section thanks to at least six Russian cruise missiles.
This size of refinery would take years and hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild.
Regional authorities say the gas will run out completely in a few days.
With the Lisichansk refinery also destroyed, and the Odessa refinery’s fuel tanks all well blown…..
…..the one avenue now for supplying the Ukraine (and its army) with ready fuel, is via tanker trains coming from Moldova.
As I’ve written before, these trains are loaded at the port of Giurgiulești, then moved over Soviet-gauge Moldovan track into the Ukraine.
Poland and Slovakia don’t use the same track, so sourcing from that direction is not an option, unless you want to transfer the fuel to a new train at the border—ridiculously time-consuming.
Russia has hit and possibly disabled one of two Odessa-region bridges used by these fuel trains.
In short, the “fuel line” into the Ukraine, is hanging on a thread, and fully at Russia’s mercy.
Send more Javelins!
The best part of that picture is the inescapable fact that at least some of those Ukrainian soldiers are standing on occupied Russian soil!
Heck yeah! Bringing the battle to the enemy!!!
Now for the invasion of Russia! The March to Moscow will force Russia to pull back from Ukraine to defend her capital (they can’t, Russians will not fight). Without American aid USSR couldn’t have defeated Nazi Germany. This make the Germans look like the whimps they were. You couldn’t beat Russia? Even Poland could beat Russia! Finland gave them a bloody nose in the winter war. Lets see Ukraine take a big slice out of Russia and the whole of the Black Sea. It can become an American Lake. Russia knocked out as a power, would be one less ally for China in our real war with real fighters.
Hyperbole much?
Ukraine is independent of Muscowy. That’s a victory.
In all fairness, I would just chalk that up to whoever runs Reuters’ Twitter feed not knowing how to differentiate between a firearm and a paintball gun: https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1526185858411405312
