Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress]

[DaRude]

As you probably hear, local ceasefire in Russian occupied Oleshky continue, people are being evacuated, humanitarian aid is delivered. All would be good, but meanwhile in other regions of Ukraine Russian attacks is getting even more cynical, they intensified attacks on civilian objects and killed almost 30 people over last day. Most horrible attack happened in Dnipro train station where at least 14 people were killed

Care to entertain us with your hypothesis on why there is a humanitarian crisis for civilians in Oleshky in the first place? Other cities under Russia's control further from the front line oddly don't seem to have issues with food or water and civilians are living there just fine.

Oleshky sits in a place that happens to have bunches of Russians and Ukrainians living there at the same time. Neither Russia nor Ukraine can attack Oleshky because of this.

Ukraine is moving Ukrainians out by one bridge and many boats across the Dnipro River - the ones who are willing to leave - with the idea that the boats can bring in Ukrainian troops on the return trip to pick up more civilians. However, Oleshky is completely controlled by Russian forces, currently.

But Ukraine has the high ground, the strategic ground, Kherson, on the other side of the Dnipro River. So, except for the fact that there are a whole bunch of Ukrainian civilians in Oleshky, Ukraine would have been attacking already.

Russia, on the other hand, is looking for methods for bringing supplies too Oleshky. But Ukraine won't allow that. Ukraine wants only evacuation. So, a little agreement was reached between Ukraine and Russia, to not attack each other while evacuation is in progress.

The reason why Russia agrees to this is that the November and December cold weather is moving in. Russia can get supplies from the South and East, and once the civilians are gone, and Ukrainian troops have moved in, Russia can attack and wipe out the Ukrainian troops.

Nobody really knows what the outcome will be in Oleshky. But it will probably follow what is happening throughout Ukraine right now... approximately 2 million dead, rookie troops with improper training, and Ukraine falling and failing all over the place.

Oleshky has been under Russian control for almost 5 years now. It makes no sense for Russia to attack it.

All evacuations are happening through deep inside Russia, no one is going across Dnieper either by bridge or by boats.


Russia has troops pretty much everywhere along the frontline. Russia is also mostly on the offensive and somehow doesn't have issues supplying it's troops along the full 1.200km frontline. Here in Oleshky, everyone knows who caused the humanitarian crisis for civilians on the Russian side. Civilians are being attacked and suffering due to lack of food and water. It's one thing for Russia to supply their military force on the frontline and another to supply a besieged civilian population. So everyone should welcome this move, military can fight but civilian suffering should be minimized.

Trying to supply your contingent by boats over Dnieper would be suicidal unless you have enough forces to secure huge bridgehead. Which Ukraine just doesn't have. But Ukrainian command did try some dumb stuff before just for PR and to post few pictures.

Kherson is the high ground. Ukraine still holds it. Their idea is to reinforce it at the same time they are moving their civilians out of Oleshky.

Certainly Russia can come in with their air force and bomb the daylights out of Kherson. But they don't want to kill civilians for a place that is not strategically beneficial for them, except that it is high ground.

What is high ground? It's a place where you can fire down into lowlands much easier. Sure, it is PR for Ukraine to fire down into Oleshky, once the civilians are gone. But as I said, Russia simply has to wait for the cold weather. And ultimately they will take out the Ukrainian forces that move into Oleshky from across the river.

And like we both indicated, Ukraine is a cornered rat. They will fight fiercely... and die. But there is a glimmer of light for them that suggests this just might be the thing that works.

Ukraine is already New Russia, and they know it. So, they will try anything, hoping they just might get lucky this time. Besides, the PR just might work.

AFAIK, Ruzzia is using the truce to move troops in Oleshky. The "control" may be as good as the control in other "controlled" areas.

Mostly on the offensive. What do you think about something called operation Vivaldi?

Do you think that there may be something similar happening right now in a different direction?

You are so backward, always focusing on little happenings to try to bring fear to Russians, while hiding the truth from the people of the West.

What do you think about Russia firing a Bulava missile from the sea of Okhotsk? Why hasn't there been any confirmation of this in western media? Does Russia have to use the nukes that this missile can carry to prove to the West and their media that such really happened?


RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR SIGNAL: A BULAVA MISSILE FIRED FROM BENEATH THE SEA OF OKHOTSK


https://www.linkedin.com/posts/russias-nuclear-signal-a-bulava-missile-ugcPost-7521614138603884544-MPz3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAABuG4EBGoGJX-VaX1Cs9xFysGE1CQfqFog
On 28 October 2026, Russia released footage of the Pacific Fleet's Generalissimus Suvorov, a Borei-A-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, launching an RSM-56 Bulava missile from beneath the Sea of Okhotsk.

According to Russia's Ministry of Defence, the missile's warheads reached the designated Chizha test range in the Arkhangelsk region, near the Kanin Peninsula. Russian authorities described the launch as part of the crew's scheduled combat training.

The reported trajectory covered approximately 5,500–6,000 kilometres across Russia a demonstration of the reach of Moscow's sea-based nuclear deterrent.

1?? A submarine is a survivable nuclear platform.

Unlike fixed land-based missile sites, ballistic missile submarines can operate while concealed underwater. Their ability to remain undetected makes them a critical component of a nuclear second-strike capability: the ability to retaliate even after an adversary's first strike.

2?? One submarine represents substantial firepower.

The Borei-A-class Generalissimus Suvorov can carry up to 16 Bulava submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The Bulava has an estimated maximum range of approximately 8,300 kilometres, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

The missile is designed to carry multiple independently targetable nuclear warheads. This does not mean that every missile carries its maximum possible warhead load in every deployment.

3?? Geography is part of the strategic message.

The Sea of Okhotsk lies in Russia's Far East, north of Japan. The designated test range is in northwestern Russia, demonstrating the ability to launch from the Pacific region towards a target thousands of kilometres away.

This is not simply about the missile. It is also about the survivability, readiness and reach of Russia's strategic nuclear forces.

4?? Routine training can still communicate strategic intent.

Russia says the launch followed its combat training plan. That explanation should be taken into account, rather than automatically treating the event as a direct threat or an imminent escalation.

Nevertheless, demonstrating that a submarine can launch a strategic missile from a submerged position sends a reminder of Russia's nuclear capabilities at a time of continuing tensions between Moscow and Western countries.

?? The important distinction: Russia has reported a successful test, but its claims about the warheads reaching the designated area have not been independently verified by the reporting cited below.

Offcourse you're implying that Ukraine is responsible for it. First of all, you're really comparing frontline city with cities which are far away from it? Yeah yeah, people there are living fine. But you ignore that biggest city in region Donetsk which is occupied since 2014 have huge water supply issues:
https://mezha.net/eng/news/denis_pushilin_admitted/
Don't know, maybe it's your definition of fine living.
Also, Ukraine probably is responsible that all roads from Oleshky were heavily mined, what made movement of civilians from and to the city almost impossible. Also, Russia previously rejected Ukraine's requests to open roads to supply aid.

17 Bus loads decided to go to Ukraine controlled territory and 4 to Russia

It says a lot. Wondering why all these people don't want to be liberated by Russia?

AFAIK, Ruzzia is using the truce to move troops in Oleshky. The "control" may be as good as the control in other "controlled" areas.

I read about it and I expected something similar from them. They're either going to force Dnipro river or intensify shelling of Kherson.

Pretending that it's a real story for a moment, and the Ukrainian side is famous for making up shit like this out of whole cloth, an answer would be completely obvious:  The people there could have left in the Russian direction any time they wanted for the last number of years.

Threats to the locals are increasing, especially since Ukrainians tend to target anything which moves, so the motivation for civilians to leave is getting stronger.  Not to mention it is a likely future fighting zone.  The ratio, if it has any basis in reality, makes perfect sense.  Russia, who controlled the area, is not genocidal so it's not a surprise that their are people who have deeper roots in Ukraine and would want to go that direction are still around in some numbers.

As I pointed out, it's a non-story whether true or false and no matter who put it out.  Of course that doesn't mean that analytically challenged mouth-breathers won't try to make a mountain out of a mole-hill on various forums.

As for drones, I remember back in the grenade-in-tin-can days when the Ukroids first got something they could fly into a room and injure the occupants, they were delighting in hunting civilians for no discernible tactical reason.  The strongest hypothesis I could see were programing to just kill as many people as possible.  Not much different to reports from soldiers in the 2nd Iraq operation.  It seems like a pretty common directive when Zionists (nazi-flavored or otherwise) are puppeteering goy-on-goy violence.

As a matter of fact only 3 half-empty buses went to Russia from Oleshko.
The third Russian refinery struck in three days, 4th-largest this time the Kstovo oil refinery.
A new record for the first time in the war Russia lost over 50k soldiers in a month. 54200 killed or wounded and no net ground gained.
Something for the history books, so much fuckery from imperial Muscovy.

A new record for the first time in the war Russia lost over 50k soldiers in a month. 54200 killed or wounded and no net ground gained.

How could Russia be losing 50,000 troops a month when its entire force grouping in the Donbas numbers around 700,000? If that were the case, there would be no one left in the trenches within a year.

According to Meduza (a project associated with Khodorkovsky)—though I suspect these figures are inflated, given that Meduza’s own map of combat operations is demonstrably fake — the total number of fatalities among the combined forces of the Russian Federation, the LPR, and the DPR since the start of the "Special Military Operation" is just over 200,000. This is based on open-source data that I have been able to find.

At the same time, the number of Ukrainian combatants killed is also just over 200,000, according to the open-source data I have been able to find.

However, by 2026, Russia is inflicting significantly more damage on the Ukrainian economy than Ukraine is on the Russian economy. The maritime delivery of weaponry to Ukraine has been completely halted, as has the export of grain by sea.

Russia has begun systematically striking the bridges across the Dnieper. In my view, completely destroying the bridges across the Dnieper is not yet a practical or expedient move.

Satellite imagery taken at night shows Ukraine plunged into darkness, with the only illuminated areas being Kyiv and a few other major cities. In other words, Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been almost entirely knocked out. The country is on the verge of being plunged into total darkness, especially since Patriot missile defense systems are no longer being supplied to Ukraine — Trump has blocked those shipments.

This is why "peace initiatives" — such as the one involving Oleshky — have emerged; Russia is exerting intense pressure on Ukraine to agree to a peace deal.

[paxmao]

This is Ukraine not "causing damage"....

Why Russia cannot defend their refineries, plants and data centers? Is this part of the 3 day plan?

I think that Ruzzia can no longer consider that size and distance are protection enough.

This is just the last month, much more to come:

Things have changed over the last two decades. It was Ukraine that started the war in 2014 by doing the things that Russia is doing now. Russia didn't even want to fight a war, but had to by 2022, just for self-protection.

But Russia only did what they did as a police action. Ukraine - mostly Zelensky - turned it into a real war. Z doesn't want to stop. There is nothing else that Russia can do but fight for her lands... including the Black Sea Corridor... hers because the West and Ukraine broke the Minsk Agreements.

They might be sorry in some ways now, but Crimea and the rest of the Black Sea Corridor actually wanted Russia to come in and help them with their freedom from Ukraine.

I'm sure it was not 100% of those people. But it was a significant number of them. And Russia wanted to anyway, to protect itself from the West that broke its agreements with Russia.

You really need to research more.

Oleshky has been under Russian control for almost 5 years now. It makes no sense for Russia to attack it.


Russia has troops pretty much everywhere along the frontline. Russia is also mostly on the offensive

Trying to supply your contingent by boats over Dnieper would be suicidal unless you have enough forces to secure huge bridgehead. Which Ukraine just doesn't have. But Ukrainian command did try some dumb stuff before just for PR and to post few pictures.

AFAIK, Ruzzia is using the truce to move troops in Oleshky. The "control" may be as good as the control in other "controlled" areas.

Mostly on the offensive. What do you think about something called operation Vivaldi?

Do you think that there may be something similar happening right now in a different direction?

So if Russia is moving troops just now as you claim, that means that Ukraine prevented Russia from doing that safely before. And that answers who caused hunger and humanitarian crisis for the civilians there. Look at the city's population at the time it went under Russia's control look at how many went to Ukraine now, and you can guess were the rest have went.

All Ukraine can do is to slowly retreat. But that is not good for morale or propagandists. So once in a while Ukraine's sponsors demand to see progress thus Ukraine's military throw their elite units on these suicide missions with little military objectives and maximum PR points. Like the idiotic Kursk offensive.

If you want random number generated numbers you can try reading montaga bot posts. But if you can read yourself, and have some minimal critical thinking skills, these numbers from pro Ukrainian sources should tell you everything you need to know about how well this iteration of the Ukrainian offensive is going  

Oct. 26, 2026, update:  Based on data from Ukraine’s DeepState OSINT group, in the past four weeks (Sept. 29–Oct. 26, 2026), Russia gained a net of 18 square miles of Ukrainian territory (about 4/5th the area of Manhattan Island). In comparison, during the previous four-week period (Sept. 1–29, 2026), Russia lost a net of 18 square miles of Ukraine’s territory, according to DeepState’s data.

In Petro Pavlivska Borshchahivka...
doctors begged to enter the place, but the population invaded,
among forty, this one was 14yo, maybe he will be fine...



  All were in serious or extremely serious condition:
 some had fractures in their vertebrae and others had died.

On 2 November, a conflict broke out in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, in the Kyiv region, near a private house where members of the Ukrainian National Guard were staying. Local residents and relatives of the servicemen alleged that people were being unlawfully detained, that medical staff were being prevented from gaining access, and that violence may have taken place. A crowd gathered outside the building and attempted to force the gate open. The police and National Guard command arrived at the scene, and law enforcement officials denied reports of dozens of hostages and a fatality.

The fake medic has been detained, the company she claims to represent does not exist for several years already, the "ambulance" purchased 3 days prior.

Lets wait and see if true that General Gerasimov has halted the offensive in Kramatorsk–Sloviansk,  Donbas region because fuel  to be send to Moscow?

There is no such news in Russia, is that strange considering that you can't even call an aggressive war a war because that is forbidden? If you are interested in how many Russians fled Russia from 2022 to today, why don't you look for reports from other countries about it?

Estimates say at least 300 000 Russians have fled to other countries, but to brainwashed Russians this is just a fairy tale, just like the hundreds of thousands who lost their lives attacking Ukraine.

Russian cowards have again attacked hospitals, schools, shopping centers and killed dozens of civilians. In the meantime, Russian media reports only about successful attacks on military targets.

Dozens of people were killed when Russia dropped at least nine bombs on a school building in southeastern Ukraine where they had taken shelter, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday, describing it as “one of the deadliest attacks of this war.”

At least 33 people have been confirmed dead and another 50 are still unaccounted for after the attack on the building in Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region, which local governor Mykhailo Semikin said was being used as a shelter and a humanitarian aid distribution center.

 -Yes, you are not wrong to mention the genocide of the Slav people... they are dying on the orders of third parties, by plans orchestrated by third parties, and I see it as a great sadness.
 How can these blood brothers kill each other?
 Just as it has been happening in the Middle East for decades, see Bayer who did not to send glyphosate to poison their lands... a great genocide of the people of the Middle East, also orchestrated by third parties...

The Russian census identified that there were more than 5,864,000 Ukrainians and Ukrainian citizens living in Russia in 2015, representing over 4.01% of the total population of the Russian Federation and comprising the eighth-largest ethnic group.

" More than 1.4 mln Ukrainians have received Russian passports since 2019 — Russian ministry
 Alexander Gorovoy stressed that the work to grant residents of Ukraine Russian citizenship under a simplified procedure continues
MOSCOW, February 2. /TASS/. More than 1.4 mln Ukrainians have received Russian passports since 2019 under a simplified procedure, according to First Deputy Interior Minister Alexander Gorovoy."

"More than 1.4 mln people have been granted Russian Federation citizenship since 2019. No other country has such privileges for Ukrainian citizens. Western countries only provided a minimum period of support in accommodating arriving Ukrainian citizens, without offering them any alternatives to refugee status," he said in an interview with the Shchit I Mech newspaper.

Gorovoy said that the work to grant residents of Ukraine Russian citizenship under a simplified procedure continues.

"With the beginning of the special military operation, we opened offices for receiving and issuing documents on citizenship issues right on the territory of the republics, as well as the liberated territories of the Zaporozhye, Kharkov and Kherson regions," he added.

According to Gorovoy, an unprecedentedly convenient migration regime has been created for citizens who arrived from the territory of Ukraine and exceptional humanitarian measures are being taken with respect to them. For example, their applications for temporary asylum take just three working days to be processed."""


Well, I prefer to analyze impartial sources, where I realize that the author is passing the data without pulling to one side or the other, well, he recounts the atrocities committed by both sides, without restraint... and despite all this, the Russians do not torture their own citizens and/or soldiers, unlike the side of the lunatic's personnel "Stepan Andriiovych Bandera">(Stepan Bandera was a fascist who aimed to make of Ukraine a one-party fascist dictatorship without national minorities. During World War II, his followers killed many Poles and Jews. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Bandera )  in the case of this next one, The author even pulls to the Ukrainian side, but shows the bad side of both sides, and I believe they did not include the atrocities that the Bandera people did in Kursk>

  More than 12,654 civilian men, women, girls, and boys have been killed, and over 29,392 injured since 24 February 2022, as verified by HRMMU. Eighty-four per cent of the casualties have occurred in territory controlled by the government of Ukraine, and 16 per cent in territory occupied by the Russian Federation....

...Since 2022, Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) have been subjected to widespread and systematic acts of torture, including sexual violence. Ninety-five per cent of released Ukrainian POWs interviewed by HRMMU have provided accounts of torture or ill-treatment during interrogation and throughout their time in Russian captivity. Approximately half of the Russian POWs interviewed by HRMMU have also described acts of torture or ill-treatment, mostly during the initial stages of captivity before reaching places of internment....

 Well, if there were no such clashes, the world would be a better place, but it is noted that Russia is a great mother, even for the Ukrainians, who are actually the Slavic people, who have been massacred, and not Russians and Ukrainians, when your vision sees this atrocity, maybe you think better about what Europe has been doing and or trying to do for centuries.

# Now, in the case of hospitals and schools attacked, you just forget to mention that, the population was evacuated and their residences, as well as hospitals and schools, serve as
depots for armaments and refuge for soldiers, so the people killed in these cases do not apply to the citizen, and or apply when they take off their uniforms... but of course hitting schools with legitimate citizens is not a good option, but even correct, however, there are reasons, both you and I, we know that bombed hotels and or schools and hospitals and markets, house the hired mercenaries, so unfortunately this is part of the conflict and forgets to mention that "Ukraine", It does worse in hitting areas where there are no traces of military and really on purpose kill civilians to generate panic, just as the Russians are ending the energy infrastructure of the Ukrainians, but again I say, who is interested in this massacre / genocide of the Slavic people?

> but at the same time, I would like to believe that you
 have no admiration for stepan Bandera, would you?
