Ukraine's top commander said on Sunday Russian forces aimed to capture the town of Chasiv Yar by May 9, setting the stage for an important battle for control of high ground in the east where Russia is focusing its assaults. The fall of the town west of the shattered city of Bakhmut by the date Moscow marks the Soviet victory in World War Two would indicate growing Russian battlefield momentum as Kyiv faces a slowdown in Western military aid.
Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, who warned this weekend that the situation in the east had deteriorated, said Russia was focusing its efforts west of occupied Bakhmut to try to capture Chasiv Yar before moving towards the city of Kramatorsk. Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region lies 5-10 kilometres (3-6 miles) from Bakhmut, the devastated city captured by Russian forces in May last year after months of bloody fighting.
Kyiv's brigades were holding back the assaults near Chasiv Yar for now and had been reinforced with ammunition, drones and electronic warfare devices, he said in a statement on the Telegram messenger. "The threat remains relevant, taking into account the fact that the higher Russian military leadership has set its troops the task of capturing Chasiv Yar by May 9," he said, without elaborating.

Nice of Rooters to catch up. This has been known for weeks.

Maybe we can print a sufficient quantity of money to literally bury and immobilize Russian tank columns in $100 bills.
An unconditional surrender is only thing that will prevent anymore loss of territory for Ukraine.
MR, you should start a GoFundMe page for YouCraynee to help them out.
Ukraine Giving Up on Crimea and the Donbas Opens a Geopolitical Pandora’s Box.
https://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/30931
Did you think that Russians were going to give up their military base in Crimea that it has operated since both the US Constitution was written there?
Donbass would still be part of of Ukraine if the Minsk Accords had been implemented. But, we and NATO encouraged Ukraine to renege on the agreement.
Part of Donbass would still be part of Ukraine if Boris Johnson hadn't killed a peace deal worked out between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey in March of 2022.
It's too late now. THERE IS NO SCENARIO WHERE Crimea or Donbass EVER be part of Ukraine again...Even if, God forbid, we got involved directly, which there is absolutely no public will for.
Kyiv Post?
LOL.
…..Marioupol, Bakmut, Avidika, Chasov Yar, etc, etc, etc. Today’s Russian Federation is not the old Soviet Union, as we are witnessing.
But then with our decline in leadership like Clinton, Obama, and now old vegetable head it is of no surprise.

Or, as the Russian UN spokesman said, “ Unconditional Capitulation” , it has a much better ring to it.
Seems like we are finally hearing more and more of that “ possibility “ ( eventuality), even from the corrupted western media. Prepare for another Biden Afghanistan debacle II.
Lay off the vodka, K, the fact that English is your second language is showing.

Two foreigners duking it out.
“Even if, God forbid, we got involved directly, which there is absolutely no public will for.’
I’m gonna Have to go ahead and disagree with you here. Even as badly as Biden has degraded our military, I think we can still put a major hurt on Russia. You are right about the public will, aside from a few foreigners and cranks here, we don’t want it.
And then lots more. Not just money, but I’m packing up leftovers from dinner to feed them too.
The longer the Russians take, the fewer Ukrainians left alive.
Prepare for another Biden Afghanistan debacle II
Yep, but much worse.
More credible than Sputnik or RT, and LOT more credible than the anonymous utoob videos that are posted here by the hate-Ukraine brigade. Try reading it instead of knee-jerk-dismissing it having read only the headline.
That’s the Ruskies’ m.o. To go slowly taking one town after another and grinding down the Uke military machine into dust at the same time.
