Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress]

[LTU_btc]

Seems that Avdiivka is undergoing a front reshaping, basically Ukraine has to move from the eastern part of the city due to the risk of encirclement. Unfortunately, the lack of support from the allies has made impossible to hold this city. The Zenit strong point has been evacuated and troops inside the city are progressively retreating to  better positions.

This battle will be in history books about how to make the enemy pay ten times the value of a target.

Ukrainian forces fully withdraw from Avdiivka. Seems that sending 3rd Assault Brigade there helped to minimize losses while leaving city and prevent from encirclement. Some public Ukrainians justifying that's not significant loss. IMO, it's bullshit. We should admit that it's painful and significant loss, same like Bakhmut. They were keeping Avdiivka from 2014, it was strong fortification and tou literally was able to see Donetsk from Avdiivka. Without lack of ammunition, probably they would be able to keep control of this city, after all, Russian losses here is probably bigger than was in Bakhmut
But there is at least some good news, Ukrainians report about 3 Russian fighter jets shot down near to Avdiivka - two Su-34 and one Su-35. Though, Russian Fighterbomber denies information about both Su-34, but confirmed Su-35.

I guess that helped them bomb civilian areas on Donetsk with Western cluster munitions and anti-personel mines.

Yeah, too bad they used all their ammo trying to kill civilians in order to win some media victories.  Win in the minds of some real degenerates at least.  Certainly not in the minds of decent people who've served in professional militaries.

The pounding these assholes are receiving in Avdiivka has been a long wait, but it's living up to my hopes.  My only regret is that the Ziocon leaders who command the Ukrainian slav forces left a month or two ago.

[paxmao]

Navalny has died in the artic "strict regime" prison he was sent. A mafia state using mafia methods.

From what I hear, the Ziocons sent the Azov Nazis (called '3rd assault brigade' in the polite mainstream media circles) into Avdivka.  Probably with the fondest hopes that their swastika tattooed skin would disappear into worm-dirt.  Anyway, the Azov bullet-stopper guys took one look at the situation and tried to make tracks in the Westward direction.  Fast!  But it was bad timing because the Russians basically closed the door.

I cannot shake the feeling that there is a little more coordination between Zelenski('s handlers) and Putin than meets the eye.

This is the co-founder of the Wagner Group of Mercenaries. Firstly notice that Wagner is a chosen icon for Hitler and German Nazis. Second notice the Nazi tattoos all over the guy. Thirdly notice that Putin is absolutely fine with Nazis, as long as they are his Nazis. This has never ever been an ideological war in that sense.

Perhaps you can try scrubbing those.
...

Every country has at least some tiny fraction of genuine dyed-in-the-wool nazis.  So what? ...

Missing the point totally, on purpose I assume. This person founded the Wagner Group which Putler happily uses in Africa and other places as well as during the invasion of Bakhmut. As said, Putin is ok with Nazis, as long as they are his Nazis and the invasion of Ukraine is not due to "ideological discrepancies".

It's interesting that Carlson asked during the interview with Putin if they're going to release Navalny and a few days later the man suddenly died. Coincidence? Probably the same coincidence as Prigozhin's plane falling out of the sky
Russia is a totalitarian regime where you get poisoned, sent to prison and murdered for opposing the leader, and you can even get hit with a missile if you misbehave.

It's also interesting how hard it is to have a job in the army when you're a Russian commander. The Black Sea fleet lost its commanding officer because a ship was struck by a drone and sunk. Pretty much the same situation as we had with Moskva, where a commander was removed from his position when a ship got hit with a missile. They put another man in the chair, 2 ships were sunk by drones a matter of weeks and the commander was relieved.

Maybe Putler forgot about the guy and Tucker reminded him of the guy. It came close to incitation to murder from a certain point of view I guess.

RE commanders, well they had 6 quite useful ships that could be the plan B for a prolonged closure of the Kerch bridge. They have two now. It is honestly a good reason to send the guy to some administrative office in Kamchatka for not planning a escort of shorts.

I said that here several years ago.  The various deep states, including the Russian ones, will happily use 'nazis' when they are useful, and often they are.  Ukraine, under control of the Ziocons, found the nazi's in Ukraine to be numerous and useful enough to be the driving force behind the whole nation-state and with the potential to de-Slav the whole place.  I have to hand it to the ziocons in that they used this resource to great effect.

Now, if the Russians want to prove that the are not as well another group of useful idiots and tools (as they proved to be under the Bolshevik revolution), now would be the time to do it.  Putin seems to have not allowed the 'oligarchs' to totally guide the nation's policy (which is likely why he receives the treatment he does in the mainstream media.)  Hopefully the Russian people will hold his and his successor's feet to the fire and make sure that the nation doesn't experience a regression.

With China it's kind of difficult to know who is playing who.  To be sure China was built up by 'capitalist' money flowing in their direction, and probably with the intent of riding them as a horse when the West was collapsed from exhaustion and shot dead, but there are signs that the Chinese are fairly aware of how the game is played.

Oh, here we go again with shelling Dontesk for 8 years. It's strange that after such long constant shelling this city looks better than cities attacked by Russia like Avdiivka or Bakhmut. Or probably it can't even called as cities anymore as there just ruins of city remains.
Killed civilians - I'm wondering how many Ukrainian civilians were killed during 2 years of war. But offcourse, you won't see this.

It is important and it is not in some other aspects. Territory wise, real value, what is left... that is not really valuable.

 However, it seems that Ruzzia has found a way to make an "industrial" style of war - I put 10k bodies, one ship, four irreplaceable planes, two fuel depots and refineries, 300 tanks and I get another 5 square kilometres of Ukrainian of land. Putin seems to be ok with this rate of "conversion", but it seems to me veeery expensive.

The town was an interesting strategic point for Ukraine in terms of communications, logistics, resistance,... however it is not for Ruzzia, it is just part of a "buffer" around  donesk.

If it weren't for the news today, it would have been great to hear that 3 planes have been hit. Quite dissuasive.

Cluster munitions and petal mines don't cause a lot of damage to core infrastructure.  They are used mostly to kill people.  It's the decision maker's choice, via targeting, whether to kill civilians or soldiers.  The Zionazis thought it made more sense in their twisted logic to kill civilians.  Then the Russian soldiers came in an mowed them over.

One of the reasons I have a great deal of respect for the Russian leadership and military is that they have been quite sensitive to civilian casualties over the course of this thing as best I can tell.  Yes, they can crater almost area at will, but when they do so it is almost always areas where the civilians are long gone.  Unless, of course, the Zionazis are holding the civilians as human shields.  Even under these conditions the Russians do seem to modify their tactics out of deference to innocent human life.

It certainly doesn't look like that if you read western media, but this war seems to have way less civilian deaths compared to soldier deaths than any USA war since WW2.

I read/watch a little but almost completely for entertainment value and to keep an eye on the evolution of their techniques.  It's pretty black-pill-ing to have to concede that yes, such a large number of people  actually do buy that kind of propaganda, but it is what it is.  It's caused adjustments in how and where I live my life.

[BADecker]

As tvbcof said above, "That's not really a war; it's a total ultra-violent genocide of a whole type of people." But in this instance, it's Ukrainians, and especially Ukrainian soldiers.

Some will think that this is simply a Ukrainian strategic maneuver. But I wonder if Zelensky's generals are finally forcing him into it.


Major Victory For Russian Army As Ukraine Forces Flee Eastern City


https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/major-victory-russian-army-ukraine-forces-flee-eastern-city
Shortly after midnight Saturday in Ukraine, the country's newly-installed top commander, General Oleksandr Syrsky, announced that he had ordered troops to evacuate the city. Surrounded in three directions by the Russian army, Ukrainian soldiers in the city found themselves in a rapidly-tightening noose.

"Based on the operational situation around Avdiivka, in order to avoid encirclement and preserve the lives and health of servicemen, I decided to withdraw our units from the city and move to defense on more favorable lines," said Syrsky in a Facebook post.

What actually seems to have happened is more that Syrsky('s handlers) had every intention of fighting the combination of hapless Slavic conscripts and tattoo'd neo-nazis to the death in Avdivka.  The ziocon 'commanders' had left the area months ago and were commanding via network communications which ended up having 'technical issues'.

The plan went awry when the highest ranking on-the-ground people (lower officers and higher NCOs) started negotiating directly with the Russians so save their and their charges' skins.  Only after seeing what was happening and being powerless to stop it did 'Syrsky' have a change of heart and ordered a retreat (in the mainstream Western media at least, and it was obviously just for PR reasons.)

The people who saved so many Ukrainian lives are already under investigation by the zioncons in 'Ukraine', and will probably find a vacation in Siberia to be much happier and healthier environment than going 'back home' I would suspect.

Anyway, a lot of innocent Ukrainian Slavic lives were (and are being) saved by on-the-ground in-charges.  Some of the spared may actually be useful in the next phase of this thing when actual Ukrainians attempt to preserve some of the Western areas of the rump-state against the Poles and NATO invasions forces.  With a fair degree of assistance from the Russians and White-Russians I would expect.

You are not using the right sources of information. Since Bucha, the same style of striking civilian infrastructure has been going on during all the campaign. Not only that, but also there are quite a few videos of murderous intentional killing of civilian with drones.

Re munitions used... Ruzzia's favourite is the FAB 500, which is dropped from quite far away, has very low accuracy and is intended to destroy anything in a radious of 30 to 50 meters.  As you may understand, I do not respect psychopaths, which seem to be the basic requisite to be a commanding rank in the Ruzzian army.

But what is relevant now is what will Syrskyi has in mind on regard to defence and even possible limited but good value offensives.

Confirmed, 2 su-34 and one Su-35 have been removed from the list of planes in the Ruzzian "Aerospatial" forces.

[tvbcof]

You are not using the right sources of information.

True that.  As a Westerner I'm supposed to be listening to Western propaganda and believing it, but I'm not.  I didn't learn well in pubic education.  So, guilty as charged.

Since Bucha, the same style of striking civilian infrastructure has been going on during all the campaign. Not only that, but also there are quite a few videos of murderous intentional killing of civilian with drones.

Bucha where the Russians bombed the civilians with food rations (as is their obligation under international law), then when they left the Zionazi security forces summarily executed anyone who ate it.

The Russians pulverize areas at the contact area where they are about to go in.  This is a slow moving war and as such, any civilians who are collateral damage in these types of operations are either so suborn that they are begging to exit the gene pool, or are held as human shields.  Ukraine controls these areas so they are responsible for what happens to civilians who shouldn't really be there in the first place.

Pin-point strikes are not uncommon outside the front, and I would not deny that strikes can go wrong via electromagnetic or other defenses, but it doesn't seem very common.  Generally speaking the ones caught on cam seem remarkably accurate, and it's a total waste of resource for them not to be as accurate as possible.  Looks to me as though a lot of the collateral damage is attributable to anti-missile defenses.

Also if a hundred or two Western mercs and/or NATO specialists take up residence in civilian areas so as to enjoy the morning breakfast buffet, it's pretty obviously a threat to nearby civilians.  Again, the zionazi leadership of Ukraine who makes these decisions and they deserve the credit/blame for their decisions.  Everyone knows the minimum Russian capabilities by this point.

Again, you need to check your information. Airstrikes, including the use of FAB are being used daily against nearly all the localities - with civilians - along the shore of the dnipro river. In Bucha, there was clear evidence of war crimes, including kidnapping of civilians, rape, torture and a number of crimes. It is evident the psychopathic nature of the orders from the higher command to the last petty officer.

The Zionazi leadership of Ukraine controls the civilians in these high activity areas.  Either they get them out (as do responsible leaderships), or they don't (as do thug states who use civilians as human shields.)

I mean it's not like the Zionazis don't have the money to hire some busses considering the $100,000,000,000.00 or so of my tax dollars that they were given.

I still cannot understand what has made you so narrow-minded and hateful over the years to the point where all you do is babble about exceptionally low-IQ racist conspiracy theories. If you have Bitcoin wealth as you claim, you could be doing any number of things in a country that is paradise to people who can afford to not have to work there. Its a stunningly beautiful place, filled with friendly people, cheap liquor, and opportunity for adventure. Great times await. But no, you sit there hunkered down at your computer and concoct twisted genocide fanfiction, just hoping to get a reaction like this one I guess. What made you that way? I'm truly curious.

Also, I think its worth pointing out that you did not pay $100 billion in taxes, LOL.

When Chinese ballistic missiles start taking out the caches of weapons that the U.S. is busy burying on the islands as we speak, then you might understand what I'm talking about and why I didn't just keep my mouth shut like 'normal' people would.  I actually care about the people here, to at least some reasonable degree, and am not at all looking forward to seeing them become the next Ukrainians, but it looks to me as though that's what's in the cards.  I noticed that one of them died in the tunnels under Gaza the other day to my complete lack of surprise.

The Chinese have developed a herd management system which the Technocrats and other totalitarians like so the outcome of the upcoming conflict is not hard to predict.  The only wild-card is whether the Chinese can be 'trusted' to stay on-board and in their place, or if they will attempt to take over the global machine outright and not honer God's choice of people.  If the Chinese show the same military professionalism as have the Russians in Ukraine, I'll say so, but I am very doubtful that that would be the case.  Both Russia and China (and the U.S.) are to prone to authoritarianism and I wouldn't want to live there...or in any country under their firm grip.

A fair number of Ukrainians do have the basic aptitude, education, and experience to see what is happening to them and why.  The same cannot be said for most of the people here for whatever set of reasons.  I'll have more sympathy for the islanders than I have for the Ukrainians who really should have known better and stopped their 'troubles' before things got to the point where they are today.

More and more people and analysts are coming out with the reasons why Ukraine will lose, or has lost already. Actually, losing will help the local people of Ukraine win.


Sen. Ron Johnson and Elon Musk explain why Ukraine will lose the war in X discussion about Ukraine spending bill


https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-02-18-johnson-musk-why-ukraine-will-lose-war-spending-bill.html
In a Spaces discussion on the social media platform X hosted by venture capitalist David Sacks, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) and Elon Musk talked candidly about why they oppose the war in Ukraine – and why Ukraine’s chances of winning the war are so abysmal.

They were joined by Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

Sen. Johnson said: "We all have to understand that Vladimir Putin will not lose this war.” With four times the population of Ukraine and a far bigger industrial base, he believes Ukraine doesn’t stand a chance.

"Russia can produce 4.5 million artillery shells per year. We're not even up to 1 million per year. The average age of a Ukrainian soldier right now is 43 years old," he noted.

He added that around 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed, so those who say they are concerned about the Ukrainian people should also want the war to end. The country faces almost total destruction if the war continues. Of course, Russians are also dying, as are civilians on both sides.

Anyone who expects a victory for Ukraine, according to Senator Johnson, is “living in a fantasy world.”

Elon Musk agreed with Senator Johnson. "As you said, there's no way Putin is going to lose. If he backs off, he will be assassinated. And for those who want regime change in Russia, they should think about who is the person that could take out Putin, and is that person likely to be a peacenik? Probably not" he said.

He also responded to previous charges that he is a Putin apologist, pointing out how his businesses have indirectly worked to undermine Russia. For example, he said that SpaceX has been instrumental in taking clients from Russia’s space launch business, while the Starlink internet service they have provided to Ukraine has been vital for the country’s communications.

They made it clear that they don’t think the $95 billion spending package containing $60 billion for Ukraine that recently passed a Senate vote will do much to change the situation. According to Sen. Johnson, the money will just needlessly add “fuel to the flames of a bloody stalemate.”

Ruzzia is loosing planes on a daily basis now. Reports of another 2 today. I guess the FAB bombs are going to become too expensive to use. My guess, the French Patriot, on truck, deployable in 30 minutes seems to be doing this work.

Again, you need to check your information. Airstrikes, including the use of FAB are being used daily against nearly all the localities - with civilians - along the shore of the dnipro river.  ...

Kherson is not "a human shield", it is a relatively large city, populated by a lot of people. If you drop an inherently inaccurate bomb from 70 km away and blast a building chances are it will be 10 grannies, 10 babies, 10 women and 10 men... none of them military, the ones that die. And that is everyday.

It has nothing to do with the government, it is terrorism from the Ruzzian mafia state, but given how Ruzzia has spent their own soldiers in meat attacks for a meaningless place such as Avdiivka, it is no wonder they kill Ukrainians indiscriminately as a base "strategy".

[tvbcof]

Kherson is not "a human shield", it is a relatively large city, populated by a lot of people.

When Russia left Kherson they took with them whichever civilians wish to leave and be under their protection.  IIRC, from the reports I heard, they were actually given land well inside of Russia if they wanted it.  At least that was the potentially untruthful propaganda the Russians put out and I have no way to verify it.  I was able to verify to my satisfaction that there were plenty of people heading East across the Dnieper as the Russians were leaving.

If you drop an inherently inaccurate bomb from 70 km away and blast a building chances are it will be 10 grannies, 10 babies, 10 women and 10 men... none of them military, the ones that die. And that is everyday.
...

Here in 2024, if you use inaccurate bombs and other munitions, or mis-use accurate munitions, you will run out of ammunition and have little to show for it.  And you will probably lose.

There is one side in this thing which has run out of ammunition and is losing in spite of being sent a shit-load of it and even more money.  The other side is not running out of ammunition and is winning handily.
