This is going to piss off Dianna!
Also in the news, as the Ukies are retreating from the Donbass, they are destroying all grain stores, they just blew up tons of grain silos ( 3 million plus tons)…..I do believe they know the Donbass will get their Independence.
Your source is SouthFront?
From Wikipedia:
SouthFront (sometimes written South Front) is a multilingual website registered in Russia that “combines Kremlin talking points with detailed knowledge of military systems and ongoing conflicts... [and] attempts to appeal to military enthusiasts, veterans, and conspiracy theorists.”[1] According to the European Union’s EU vs Disinfo, SouthFront publishes news focused on “security issues, foreign policy, military analysis and reports on military hardware” while “loyally relaying whatever suits the Kremlin.”[2]
“as the Ukies are retreating from the Donbass”
LOL! Back in eary April, 60K Ukranians were cut off and surrounded I was told...Getting close to June....
It is fair to say Ukraine is giving up a small amount of territory for large amount of Russian corpses. The Russian Army losses are not sustainable. It takes a year to conscript and adequately train troops. 9 months if you rush it but send them out a bit unprepared.
The coalition of Putin friendly Fascist and Communist in Italy want Ukraine to give up 15% of their territory for temporary peace. Italy can give Russia Sicily instead.
Ukraine has captured large amounts of Russian tanks and weapons. Russia has captured Ukrainian weapons. Such is war.
I thought world proliferation of land mines was supposed to be bad? 🤪
“Also in the news, as the Ukies are retreating from the Donbass”
Thanks for posting and good to hear this this phase of the special military operation is now wrapping up.
Now that a good part of their territory is lost, perhaps Ukraine will be able to stand up to the Neocons and EU and try to negotiate an end to the operation.
“In fact, the Russian military and its allies captured several of them.”
Several. Out of thousands!
Orkrainians gonna Ork.

No, no, no. Only liberal MSM outlets with their anonymous sources, unverified claims, they saying they know what Russia wants and then when it doesn’t occur they say Russia failed in its aims, are reliable outlets! /sarc.
Also reported here:
Germany sent anti-tank missiles and mines to Ukraine to fight Russia’s invasion

This is going to piss off Dianna!
The Germans are writing checks their military cannot cash.
We need about 10,000 of these on our southern border...
Should also enclose places like CA & OR, New England, plus NYC, Philly, & NJ just for completeness...
Dear Ukrainians: Beware of Germans bearing military gifts.
I hadn't heard that, but they have been reported to have attempted to blow up a dam, that would have flooded a town. I thought they were the good guys?
Highly biased article. There is no “special military operation” in Ukraine. It is a Russian invasion of conquest, as anyone can plainly see. And just because Russians have captured some little mines ultimately doesn’t tell us much. The US has also sent thousands of claymore mines.
According to the Ukranian source that I see, Ukraine has hundreds of thousands of troops in training. They also have so much equipment from Europe and the US that they will be able to kit out these soldiers quite well. The troop total may exceed 1,000,000. I believe the pullbacks from the eastern regions are to regroup to stage a much bigger counterattack than we have yet seen.
Nothing is going to go well for Russia.
Those landmines can penetrate battleship armor?
