Civilians are greeting #Ukrainian liberators in #Balakliia
The Ukrainian flag is raised over the village of Volokhiv Yar, which was occupied for 6 months.
And now you’re rooting for hit squads. You people are seriously sick freaks.
There were numerous accounts early on of Russian plants/sympathizers marking building as targets for Russian aircraft/missiles. It’s just fine with me if the Ukes are taking out those guys. As much as anything tactical it looked like there might be a lot of grudge settling?
comments and photos on this site concur:
Things are going very well for the Liberal World Order the last couple days. Russia and the Allies are getting pushed back hard.
Your daily dose of Ukrainian propaganda from Hot Air.
The entire western world is under attack by their own governments and globalist goblins and some of their clueless victims are still cheering them on.
I want to re-emphasize some critical points: 1. Russia attacked Ukraine with a small force that was one-third the size of the defending Ukrainian force. Advantage Ukraine and yet, despite the fact that Russia was outnumbered, Russia steadily pushed Ukraine back, taking Mariupol, Kherson and Luhansk.
2. At no point did Russia declare any kind of timeline for accomplishing its stated mission of demilitarization and denazification.
3. The bulk of the fighting from the Russian side is being handled by the militias from the Donbas. Russia has committed only a small fraction of its troops.
4. Despite a massive influx of western military aid, Ukraine has been unable to force the Russians to retreat. Those who want to point to the current Ukrainian offensive as a stunning success are ignoring Ukraine’s massive losses in men and equipment during the past week. Capturing a couple of isolated, unihabited rural villages is not exactly a 21st Century version of Omar Bradley’s Operation Cobra, which was led by General Patton and broke out of hedge row country in Normandy.

You know how worried the Russian Government is about the progress of the operation in Ukraine? Putin and his top Generals spent a week on Russia’s east coast, i.e. the Pacific, conducting a 50,000 man joint force military exercise with China and Vietnam.

et me suggest an alternative explanation for Russia’s slow, methodical approach in Ukraine. Russia is committed to the demilitarization of Ukraine. Russia’s current campaign not only is destroying Ukraine’s army and the tanks, planes, helicopters and vehicles, but it also is forcing the United States and NATO to strip themselves of weapons that will not be quickly replaced in the near term. In other words, without risking a direct confrontation with NATO, Russia also is weakening NATO. And Putin does not have to turn Ukraine into a smoldering, nuclear wasteland with millions of dead Ukrainians. Seems like a reasonable approach to me.
The weakening of NATO also is being accelerated with economic weapons–i.e., cutting off the sale of gas and oil. Without gas and oil, Europe’s war industry is grinding to a halt. I do not know if this is part of the Russian plan for the Special Military Operation or just a happy serendipity that serves Russia’s interests. Regardless, the effect hurts NATO.
I do not pretend to know what plan Russia’s General Staff is following. What I do know is that none of the weapons supplied by the United States and NATO have changed the strategic goal of Russia to demilitarize Ukraine and eliminate a NATO threat on the western border. That means Russia’s ability to continue moving west is not eliminated and Ukraine’s prospects grow more bleak.

Big Russians fighting Little Russians. And both sides behave like Russians.
Over 1,000 square kilometers liberated since September 1st - more than Russia captured since June.
The last couple of days have been the deadliest for Russian forces since the start of the war.
This is bad juju. One of my dear cousins, while in the U.S.Army, was a shooter in the CIA’s Phoenix program in South Vietnam. He told me that eventually he realized that many of the people killed were not VC or VC sympathizers. They had been identified as such by people who held a grudge against them.
Thanks for posting that. True liberation. The civilians are enthusiastically greeting the Ukrainian soldiers.
So basically, they are genociding ethnic Russians, Einsatzgruppe style.
