Food security in the world has been shaken by Russia's actions

Near Avdeevka, Russia lost from 16,000 of its soldiers, according to information from Russian sources,

Source?

In about another month, the occupiers will be exhausted with their big offensive since October last year. After this, the move will be for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Next move? Wake up, there are no AFU left! You don't even have enough troops to control the territory you already control! Your own command announced there will be some hard decisions on which city to defend and which to leave to the Russians.

As for the destruction of “another stupid boat,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces are destroying all Russian warships that are used in the war against Ukraine. But in Russia, apparently, only stupid warships remain among the newest ones, since the sunken corvette Sergei Kotov became part of the Black Sea Fleet only in July 2022, that is, already during this war. Let me remind you that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were the first to sink the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Moskva.

I don't get your useless boat mania but ok, I will play your game and make you look retarded again.

1. This ship was a patrol boat. From Wikipedia:

Ships of this design are designed to perform patrol duty, suppress smuggling and pirate activities, and search for and provide assistance to victims of maritime disasters. In wartime, also for the protection of ships and vessels during sea passage, as well as naval bases and water areas.

In other words, it could not attack Ukraine and do any harm. It was not built to attack anything or launch missiles.

I am reporting the source of the Russian losses I mentioned near Avdeevka. This is a Russian propagandist and Ukrainophobe Andrei Morozov with the call sign Murz, who fought in the Donbass against Ukraine since 2014, called for genocide and mass murder of Ukrainians. After he mentioned the number of Russian losses near Avdeevka as 16,000 people, he wrote that he was forced to delete a message about this, after which he shot himself.

Does the Ukrainian Armed Forces have no soldiers left? Then the Russian occupiers should rejoice and quickly capture Kyiv, as well as the rest of Ukraine. If not in a few days, then at least by the end of the month, we expect a joyful message from you that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been completely destroyed and demilitarized, and the population of Ukraine joyfully greets their liberators from Bandera.
But from open sources you can find information that out of the million-strong army of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, only 300,000 have so far been at the front, and the mobilization reserve is several million more.

Are you outraged that I called the destroyed ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet a corvette, and not a patrol boat? I would like to bring to your attention that patrol ships are divided into two types: corvettes /short range/ and frigates /long range/.
This is directly written about in the same Wikipedia:
“Corvette is a class of surface combat ships designed for patrol and convoy service, anti-submarine and air defense of naval bases (naval bases). The main tasks of modern corvettes are anti-submarine defense of a ship formation (convoy) or a coastal facility (naval base, port, etc.) P.)...
In the USSR Navy, the class of corvettes was not distinguished: from the standpoint of the Soviet classification, corvettes correspond to a subclass of anti-submarine ships - patrol ships (near zone, as opposed to a frigate - a far zone patrol ship)."
https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82

Corvette "Sergey Kotov" could not attack Ukraine and cause any harm? What was a warship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet doing in the territorial waters of Ukraine then? One of his tasks was to guard the so-called Crimean Bridge, illegally built by Russia to the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea. At the time of destruction, "Sergey Kotov" was located off the southern coast of the Crimean Peninsula and 25 kilometers from the Crimean Bridge. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are soon going to destroy the Crimean Bridge, along which the Russians have been supplying the southern front in Ukraine with manpower and equipment for three years now, so systematic preparations and destruction of possible obstacles to this are underway.
If the Russian warship is not intended to harm anyone, nominate its creators for a peace prize.

In about another month, the occupiers will be exhausted with their big offensive since October last year. After this, the move will be for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Next move? Wake up, there are no AFU left! You don't even have enough troops to control the territory you already control! Your own command announced there will be some hard decisions on which city to defend and which to leave to the Russians.

The Russian army continued to advance after the 110th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdrew from the ruins of Avdeevka due to a lack of ammunition. The Russians captured three to five kilometers of new territory beyond Avdeevka, their largest advance in a year.

But the prospect that Russian troops will break through the defensive lines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, penetrate into the unprotected rear and reach large cities is no longer visible. After the 47th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, together with other units, fought back and even counterattacked in some areas.

But in order to prevent the aggressor from going further, the 47th Brigade spent 10% of its armored vehicles, including M1 Abrams tanks, M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and Assault Breacher engineering vehicles.

But, having gained a foothold in the village of Berdychi, several kilometers northwest of Avdievka, it inflicted many more losses than it suffered. The roads towards Berdychi are littered with the remains of Russian tanks, tracked combat vehicles and, especially, BTR-80 wheeled armored personnel carriers. Not to mention potentially hundreds of Russian infantry killed.

During two tense weeks after the fall of Avdeevka, the Russians marched from north to south, capturing Stepovoye, Lastochkino and Severnoye. But only because the retreating Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters decided not to defend these settlements and headed to the west: to Berdychi, Orlovka and Tonenky. Near these settlements there are natural fortifications in the form of lakes and canals; it is more difficult for the attacking side here.

In the Avdeevsky direction, the 47th separate mechanized brigade successfully defends Berdychi, repelling attacks from the enemy’s 15th and 30th separate motorized rifle brigades. The 3rd separate assault brigade repelled the enemy landing attack in the Orlovka area, where the 25th Airborne Brigade took up a defensive position. If the Russians can boast of anything as the Avdeevka campaign comes to an end, it is that they managed to penetrate and dig in in the south-eastern corner of Tonenkoye.

Five months after the start of the offensive, the Battle of Avdeevka ends. Analysts call such a victory a pyrrhic one, due to significant losses, at least 16 thousand killed and almost 800 armored vehicles.

Ukraine lost some armored vehicles, possibly Abrams, Bradleys and Assault Breachers assault vehicles in the street battles in Berdychi. But they could be among the last casualties of the current campaign. It is entirely possible to replace 10% of a brigade's tanks, five percent of its combat vehicles, and perhaps a third of its engineering vehicles. The reason this cannot be done quickly is the same reason why the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not receive American ammunition. Pro-Russian Republicans in Congress have continued to block further military support for Ukraine since October.
But the situation with the supply of ammunition to the Ukrainian Armed Forces is already improving, and the occupiers at the front probably sensed this.

Yes, the situation is complicated, it’s stupid to deny it. I hope that Ukraine’s other partners will help us withstand a new wave of “meat assaults” from Russia. Yes, there is a loss of equipment - this is war. But passing off the destruction of 2 Petriot air defense systems and 2 Abram tanks as a “super success of the 2nd Army of the World” looks sad, against the backdrop of more than 5,000 tanks and a dozen S400 complexes (or rather batteries) lost by the Russian Armed Forces!

But at this time I would like to note:
- The main method of “liberation” of Avdeevka by Russian terrorist troops was the use of heavy gliding bombs. Yes, it is virtually impossible to resist them. But the Ukrainian Armed Forces have found solutions - if we cannot resist these bombs, we will destroy... the aircraft that carry them. In February-March, more than 20 terrorist bombers were destroyed.
- At the same time, successful actions on the territory of Russia are carried out by the Russian liberation troops as part of the Legion "Freedom of Russia", "Siberian Battalion", "RDK", as well as the detachment of the People's Liberation Army of the Republic of Ichkeria that joined them. As a result of their successful offensive, some part of the Belgorod People's Republic has already been liberated, the forces of the border troops of the FSB of Russia, and the warehouses of the RF Armed Forces have been destroyed.
- Over the past 2 weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, together with the Main Intelligence Directorate and the SBU, have carried out several very successful operations to destroy the oil industry of the aggressor country. Refinery refineries and oil depots, which generated approximately 15% of all fuel in Russia, have been disabled. And this is the beginning. Russia’s vaunted “unparalleled air defense,” as expected, turned out to be fake and could not withstand ordinary drones.
There are still many interesting events ahead on the territory of the aggressor country

You are delusional. Ukraine is like a living corpse, a zombie controlled by the US, forced to fight till the last breath. Ukraine is facing a really hard choice atm: draft 500000 civilians and completely ruin it's economy or continue losing territories and troops. In any case, they are going to lose eventually.

Btw, here's a nice article I found for you. Perhaps it will help you to wake up:

MAKIV, Ukraine — Few men of fighting age are left in this village in southwest Ukraine, and those who remain fear they will be drafted at any moment.

Their neighbors are already hundreds of miles east in trenches on the front lines. Some have been killed or wounded. Several are missing. Others from this rural area — about 45 miles from the borders of Romania and Moldova — have fled abroad or found ways to avoid the war, either with legitimate exemptions or by hiding.

“It’s just a fact,” said Larysa Bodna, deputy director of the local school, which keeps a database of students whose parents are deployed. “Most of them are gone.”

Ukraine desperately needs more troops, with its forces depleted by deaths, injuries and exhaustion. Despite Russia’s own enormous casualties, the invaders still far outnumber Ukraine’s defenders, an advantage that is helping Moscow advance on the battlefield. Ukraine’s parliament is debating a bill to expand the draft pool, in part by lowering the eligibility age to 25 from 27, but few decisions are being made in Kyiv that will quickly answer the army’s urgent needs.

Civilians here say that means military recruiters are grabbing everyone they can. In the west, the mobilization drive has steadily sown panic and resentment in small agricultural towns and villages like Makiv, where residents said soldiers working for draft offices roam the near-empty streets searching for any remaining men.

Locals use Telegram channels to warn of soldier sightings and share videos of troops forcing men into their vehicles — stoking rumors of kidnappings. Some men are now serving time in jail for refusing to sign up.

“People are being caught like dogs on the street,” said Olha Kametyuk, 35, whose husband, Valentin, 36, was drafted in June by soldiers who approached him and asked for his papers after he stopped for coffee on the main road outside Makiv. Despite a diagnosis of osteochondrosis, a joint disorder, he passed his medical exam in 10 minutes, she said, and deployed to the front, where he was wounded.

“The whole village was taken this way,” said Valentin’s mother, Natalya Koshparenko, 61.

Natalya Koshparenko, 61, outside her home in Makiv. Her son, Valentin, was drafted after stopping to buy a coffee last summer.

“Almost all our men have been scraped out,” said Serhii, 47, an infantry soldier from Makiv who was drafted in March 2022 and serves in Ukraine’s 115th brigade.

Home for a short break this month for the first time in a year, Serhii said he had already been stopped and questioned. So had his son, who is only 22 and not yet eligible to be drafted. The Washington Post is identifying Serhii only by his first name because of the risk of repercussions.

When the soldiers realized he was already serving, he said, they asked how he felt about men “‘who haven’t seen a single day of war” — which he said he regarded as a forced, hollow show of camaraderie. Serhii said he replied by saying it was them, not his fellow villagers, he resented most.

“You’re military and I’m a civilian, but I’m fighting and you’re not,” he said. The conversation, he noted, “ended immediately.”

Oleksii, 30, was fixing his car last year when soldiers approached and handed him a draft order. It was Valentine’s Day and the news broke his girlfriend, Elvira, who works in a small shop in Makiv and barely ate for weeks afterward. Oleksii accepted his fate, but his experience has served as a warning to others about the realities on the front.

After three concussions and shrapnel wounds, Oleksii recently returned home. Scrolling through his phone, he showed a photo of him with more than a dozen fellow troops. Only two are still alive, he said.

This month, villagers in Makiv buried another of their own — Ihor Dozorets, a contract soldier who was wounded so badly that his son, also a soldier, identified him only by a scar on his hand. “He wanted to come home,” Ihor’s sister, Inna Melnyk, 43, said through tears. “He was tired of it all. But what can we do?”

Vasyl Hrebeniuk, 70, said that even at his age — 10 years over the draft limit — soldiers have regularly stopped and questioned him in Makiv.

Six weeks ago, he watched soldiers bang on a neighbor’s door, complaining that the man who lived there had asked to go say goodbye to his wife and mother, then disappeared. One soldier said they “should have taken him immediately, put him in the bus and driven away,” Hrebeniuk recalled.

Scenarios like these have left Polina, 16, anxious about how much longer she has with her father — one of the few draft-eligible men left in the village.

Last summer, Polina and her friend Olha were relaxing at a table outside the village store when Olha’s dad called and asked her to buy something for him there. She brushed off his request, saying she was busy with friends. He walked to the store himself instead, and the teens watched in horror as soldiers surrounded him and handed him a summons on the way in.

Maya Proskurivska, 63, is hiding the truth about her son-in-law, Oleksandr, 41, from his children, who are 8 and 14. Sent to fight in the Donetsk region, he has been missing since December, she said, but the children think he is confirmed as a prisoner of war. These days, she said, “on our street, it’s hard to find a young man.”

“There are people hiding, sitting at home, not even willing to go to the store,” she said. “I saw a car today where the woman was driving and the husband was hiding behind tinted windows in the back.”

The young men cleaning her yard acknowledged that they fear the draft. But Artem said he also resents men from eastern Ukraine who came west for refuge instead of staying to fight. “They came here to hide, and our guys have to die there,” he said. Artem’s father, who was drafted, is now fighting near the eastern city of Lyman.

Down the road from Makiv, in the small city of Kamyanets-Podilsky, a growing gallery honoring the dead fills a main square. Each photo shows the face of a local man or woman killed fighting for Ukraine.

MAKIV, Ukraine — Few men of fighting age are left in this village in southwest Ukraine, and those who remain fear they will be drafted at any moment.

Do not forget that this is the third year of a rather bloody and brutal war. Ukraine was attacked by enemy forces that were many times superior in everything, and above all in human resources. I can neither confirm nor deny the facts presented in the article that are happening in this village of Makiv in southwestern Ukraine. Events may be distorted, but somewhere there may well be excesses with mobilization. Approximately the same state of affairs is occurring in the occupied territory of Donbass and Luhansk region. They have been writing there for a long time that there is practically no male population left. The Russians have already forcibly mobilized absolutely everyone they can and the populated areas are practically empty. But not all is well with human resources in Russia itself. During the war, the irretrievable losses of Russians range from 350 thousand people according to the United States to 433 thousand according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and about 505 thousand according to the data reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense to the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Patrushev.

But the Russian occupiers, immediately after the elections in the Russian Federation, plan to mobilize another 300 thousand people in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Criminal order No. 124 of 03/06/2024 “On additional conscription of citizens for military service by mobilization” on illegal conscription into the ranks of the Russian Federation has already been issued and comes into force on March 25. They will continue to be thrown as “live meat” in front of the Russian troops and thus clear the occupied areas of the Russian-speaking population, which they came, as it were, to defend from the mythical “Banderaites.”

Thanks for admitting it. In fact, most Ukrainian trolls claim Russia is fighting using sticks and stones. 

I can neither confirm nor deny the facts presented in the article that are happening in this village of Makiv in southwestern Ukraine. Events may be distorted, but somewhere there may well be excesses with mobilization.

Western media have no reason to distort facts in Russia's favour. 

Approximately the same state of affairs is occurring in the occupied territory of Donbass and Luhansk region. They have been writing there for a long time that there is practically no male population left. The Russians have already forcibly mobilized absolutely everyone they can and the populated areas are practically empty.

I'm not sure, I haven't heard of such a fact, frankly. But if you check out some videos on Youtube, something like "life in Mariupol" or "Crimea today" you can see quite a lot of men in the streets there.

But not all is well with human resources in Russia itself. During the war, the irretrievable losses of Russians range from 350 thousand people according to the United States to 433 thousand according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Ok, let me tell you something: do you know how Ukraine is counting Russian casualties? I'll give an example: imagine there's an APC driving somewhere in the vicinity of the frontline, it gets hit by a drone, for example. Now the most interesting part: this APC can carry (for example) 12 troops plus the driver. So, AFU automatically add 13 KIA and marks APC destroyed. In reality this APC may have been empty (except for the driver obviously) who got wounded. APC itself may have been towed to the Russia-controlled territory and fixed. That's why there were lots of tanks which were "destroyed" 3-4 times by the AFU. You see the difference, right?   

and about 505 thousand according to the data reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense to the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Patrushev.

Source? I presume Ukrainian media, right?

In my opinion, it is no longer a secret that many Western politicians and media have been bought by Russia. Therefore, what some politicians say there and the media write may also not correspond to reality.
I have used and will continue to use the official information of my country, Ukraine. It is in Russia that all news information is completely distorted. There you can’t even say the word “war” out loud, which has been going on for three years now between Ukraine and Russia. For this you can go to prison for a long time. Having attacked Ukraine for the tenth year, everyone there is trying to convince their citizens that it was Ukraine that attacked Russia, and Russia, it turns out, is only defending itself.

Regarding how the Ukrainian Armed Forces calculate the losses of the Russian occupiers, I would like to know the source of your words on this matter.

[Argoo]

Following Russia's attack on Ukraine, the Russian Black Sea Fleet attempted to impede Ukrainian exports by sea, effectively blockading Ukraine's Black Sea ports. From July 2022 to July 2023, the “grain deal” was in force - an agreement concluded through the mediation of the UN and Turkey on Russian security guarantees for the export of Ukrainian agricultural products. However, then the Russian Federation withdrew from this deal.

After this, Kyiv was able to create a new relatively safe sea corridor in the western part of the Black Sea. To do this, the Ukrainian armed forces liberated Zmeiny Island and sank several Russian warships with their missiles and surface drones, including the cruiser Moskva, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

On February 6, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal said that over the past six months, his country has exported almost 20 million tons of cargo through the Black Sea, of which 70 percent were agricultural products of Ukrainian farmers. In just these six months, more than 660 cargo ships sailed to destinations in 32 countries. According to him, in January 2024 the monthly pre-war level of exports by sea was reached.
We can say that Russia’s plans to blockade Ukrainian agricultural products in the Black Sea failed miserably.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet suffered further losses. On Sunday, April 21, in annexed Sevastopol, after a Ukrainian missile attack, the rescue ship “Kommuna” of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which was moored at berth No. 14 on the northern shore of Sevastopol Bay, caught fire. It is quite possible that it was not the target of the Ukrainian missile, but the real target was the Yamal BDK, which was standing nearby, but due to its smooth trajectory, the missile caught on the high side of the Commune.

  This is the oldest ship in the Russian fleet, which managed to take part in two previous world wars. In 1913, the ship was launched and on July 15, 1915, it became part of the Russian Imperial Navy under the name Volkhov. The vessel's displacement is 3100 tons, length - 96 meters, width - 18.57 m, height - 8.40 m, draft - 3.65 m. In February 1918, the Volkhov was captured by German troops in Reval (now Tallinn), and later transferred to socialist Russia. Before and during World War II, the Commune recovered dozens of sunken submarines, ships and vessels in the Baltic Sea. The importance of this vessel was appreciated by Forbes, stating that without the Commune, the remaining submarines of the Black Sea Fleet will have to sail without support. A fire was recorded on it, but the extent of damage is still being determined.

Despite the systematic destruction, Russia continues to retain a large number of Black Sea Fleet ships in occupied Crimea. But these are secondary ships; the most valuable assets are located in Novorossiysk on Russian territory. Large landing ships, support vessels, minesweepers, and everything that the Russian Federation is ready to sacrifice in order to maintain its combat functionality remain in Crimea for repairs.

Muahahaha.... this is shameful you realize that? A 1913 ship? 114 years old? I bet it costs less than the rocket which hit it...

Muahahaha.... this is shameful you realize that? A 1913 ship? 114 years old? I bet it costs less than the rocket which hit it...  

If you haven’t understood yet, then I can explain that the Russian Black Sea Fleet has lost a unique rescue vessel, which is the “Commune”. Without this ship as a whole, the Russian submarine fleet has no right to go to sea, since there is no mechanism for rescuing the crew and the submarine if it crashes. Going out to sea, Russian sailors will understand that any problem on a submarine is practically death for them, since no one will get them. And this applies not only to submarines, but also to ships if they suffer the same fate as the cruiser Moskva.

The Russians modernized the vessel in 2016 to perform deep-sea work, including the recovery of submarines and sunken cargo, and had the most advanced equipment on board. Its indisputable value for Russia lies in the fact that it is the only rescue ship of its class in the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Therefore, it does not matter its cost in rubles or dollars. The important thing is that without it, the Russians will be even more afraid to go to sea, while Ukraine has improved its surface drones and created a small and formidable Kronos submarine, armed with six torpedoes and capable of sinking the remnants of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

Gone are the days when Russia tried to block Ukrainian commercial shipping with the help of its Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine is methodically and purposefully drowning the maritime greatness and pride of Russia.

Thus, on the night of May 19, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked Russian-occupied Sevastopol with ATACMS missiles, and that as a result of the attack, the Russian small missile ship Cyclone was sunk.
  "Cyclone" is a new Russian rocket ship of Project 22800. It was built at the Zaliv shipyard in occupied Kerch, laid down in 2016, launched in 2020. In July 2023, the occupiers in Kerch “solemnly” accepted him into the Russian Navy.

Small missile boats of Project 22800 "Karakurt" are designed to perform tasks both as part of detachments and groups of warships, and independently. They are armed with the Kalibr complex with high-precision long-range cruise missiles designed to destroy sea and coastal targets, as well as the Pantsir-M anti-aircraft missile and gun system.

As noted by the head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine, Dmitry Pletenchuk, the Russian occupiers could have lost their last cruise missile carrier in Crimea.
