Ukraine War Maps Reveal Russian Advances Along Whole Front Line
Newsweek ^ | May 27, 2024 | Isabel van Brugen

Posted on 05/27/2024 1:26:05 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Russian forces have advanced along the front line in Ukraine, battlefield maps published by a U.S. think tank show, as Ukraine warns that Moscow is preparing for a major offensive in the east.

Maps released by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a U.S.-based think tank, on Sunday, show that Russian forces have made progress in Ukraine's Luhansk and Donetsk regions, which together comprise the Donbas.

The Kremlin has been pushing for the total capture of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions since Russia's initial invasion of eastern Ukraine in 2014.

Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry by email for comment.

In the Luhansk region, Russian forces advanced northwest of the city of Svatove, and geolocated footage published on Sunday indicates that they recently advanced into the rural settlement of Ivanivka, northwest of Svatove, the ISW said.

While the Russian Ministry of Defense has claimed that Russian forces seized Ivanivka, the ISW said it hasn't observed confirmation of this.

Near the city of Bakhmut in Ukraine's Donetsk region, the ISW observed that Russian forces had recently made small advances southwest of the captured fortress city of Avdiivka amid continued fighting in the area.

I just did a search for ceasefire Ukraine.

There is a Reuters report of such a thing, quoting unnamed Russian sources. There are no clips of Putin saying this.

Nothing can be believed unless there are direct quotes.

ISW maps show Russian “advances” to be mere pinpricks.

Exactly. Victoria Nuland's sister-in-law has been very reluctant to update maps of the front at ISW. She's hating life right now.

You understand that the Russian re-invasion near Kharkiv has moved about 6 to 7 miles from the border, at the cost of thousands BILLIONS of Russian soldier's lives.

fixed it, using the neocon Ukie nutter-cheerleader translation machine.

Ukraine either surrenders or, ultimately, ceases to exist.

Those are the only options.

So how many Russians have died in the attacks near Kharkiv?

Russians who didn't die

LOL!

You can always be counted on to post fantasies from Nuland's Institute For Grifting On War, free.

Does your tongue stick to the windows when they're freezing?

Ukraine knows that they cannot surrender.

Too bad you can’t come up with an actual argument. I thought you were smarter than that. Are you losing your edge as you age?

I dumbed it down, because I didn’t want to distract you while you were cleaning that window.

Rooters "reporters" Guy Faulconbridge and Andrew Osborn.

A pair of real beauties, those two.

You'll note that Guy Faulconbridge is one of the favorites of marcusSPAMmaximus, the biggest pro-Ukie troll on Free Republic.

He's busy trolling about some ATACM missile attack in Luhansk right now.

Tell your zElenskyy that the front is at Chasov Yar and in Khakov oblast, marcus.

Maybe the light will come on over his head about Kharkov - but it won't be because of the Kharkov electrical generating stations...

Why not?

Russia has zero desire to rule over parts of the Ukraine with Ukrainian nationalists in them.

It's the paranoia and hatred stirred up by the West toward Russia, which has a political agenda behind it, that is making peace impossible.

My opinions are always rooted in reality.

You and your fellow Zeepers have consistently been wrong.

“Maps released by the Institute for the Study of War show that Russian forces have made progress in Ukraine’s Luhansk and Donetsk regions, which together comprise the Donbas.”

I like the part of the report where they APOLOGIZE for being so wrong in the past.

Just kidding!!!!

But I do wonder if the Zeepers will now start claiming that ISW is controlled by Putin.

“By Isabel van Poutin, no less.”

Hmmm, perhaps Russia has taken control of ISW.

Consider: Poutin >> Pootin >> Putin

Could be a crappy attempt by one of Putin’s many daughters to hide her real name...

“Ukraine knows that they cannot surrender.”

Ukraine’s current LEADERSHIP knows that they cannot surrender, or they’ll face trial in Moscow. A new government can surrender and end this war tomorrow.
