After several weeks of deadlock, Russia’s military appears to have found a way to advance in the Donbas – pounding it with such intense, unsophisticated artillery that Ukraine’s exhausted defenders are having to yield.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy rarely gives casualty figures but Ukraine’s president said last Sunday that “50 to 100 Ukrainian troops die on Donbas frontlines each day”, meaning perhaps 3,000 a month in the grisly war of attrition.
Wounded will typically be three or perhaps four times as much, a serious loss for a Donbas defence force estimated at 30,000 before the war began, although the numbers increased following Ukraine’s mass mobilisation.
“Russian forces have secured more terrain in the past week than efforts earlier in May,” reported the Institute for the Study of War on Tuesday, in particular approaching the frontline city of Sievierodonetsk and in villages nearby.

My pleasure.
Don’t let the bastards get you down. Don’t cower in front of the enemy. And always fight like hell as if your life and immortal soul depend upon it. Because it does.
Russia intended to take Kiev
WRONG.
if the war was going Russia’s way they would occupy Kiev
WRONG.
Perhaps the decision makers in Kiev aren’t fighting the war so that Ukrainians will have control when this is over. Who will sweep in and pick up the pieces?
“Freeper” NorseViking claimed two months ago that Kiev would fall within days. Other “Freepers” claim that the massive move on Kiev was just a classic feint.
Feints are an economy of force measure where you demonstrate in front of the enemy to tie down forces and obscure your intentions. Feints do not involve deep penetrations with armored columns 20 miles long. With feints you should not lose hundreds of vehicles like the Russians did at the approaches to Kiev.
Don’t worry, I’m still in there kicking.
In other words, you pulled it out of your ass and it’s a complete fabrication.
Your post makes no sense. But I’m sure you’re proud of it anyway.
Actually it make perfect sense but you’re either too arrogant to admit it, or too damn stupid recognize it.
Most the pity for you.
I have a sneaky suspicion you sit down when you urinate so as not to piss on the toilet seat. Here’s a news flash, Buckwheat: the toilet seat lifts up.
That’s free advice and your welcome.
I think you’re the one that’s “all bunged up and confused.” The post “Let’s to Russia” clearly disproved your contention that “Questioning the narrative and reports on Russia-Ukraine war coming from the Biden Administration and the media DOES NOT equate to being in Russia’s side.”
Here’s another one for you:
I want Putin to win…I use the word “liquidate” without the ominous meaning liberal media attaches to it. They videos of the liquidation are NOT war crimes. They are videos of explosives placed where Ukrainian soldiers were sheltering, but not surrendering.

Now, why do you Young Putineers always get so nasty? Can you not argue your side without all the vindictiveness? You gonna call me a fag next like Az Joe did? It’s weird how fixated the Young Putineers are on homosexuality BTW.
Give it up, dude. You’re worthless and weak.
See, you have no debate, just name calling.
I refuse to argue with an idiot like you because you will only drag me down to your level and beat me with experience.
(Hat tip to Mark Twain)
Have a nice day, Buttercup.
It’s so easy to out the Young Putineers.
We need rainbow flags to identify the Davos cheerleaders.
Yep called it - another bit of Poot Toot boosting by a supporter. Will you people ever stop?
Homo Vlad holds your arse in reserve
You betray yourself.
FYI...You know you have won the battle of wits the moment your opponent resorts to insults and vulgarity.
You lost before the battle began, Bitch Fist.
Most the pity. Sucks to be You.
May I suggest you brush the Cheetohs off your shirt, push away from the keyboard, take a shower, shave and put on a clean pair of underwear? It will bring you back to reality and give clarity to your bunged up mind.
That’s free advice, and you are welcome.
Cheers and salutations to you.
Gotta go now. There’s a beer on the bar with my name on it and my friends are laughing too loud at your pitiful and weak comment.
