Putin has a son in law named ........... Zelensky 🤣
Last time they take advice off the ra
things are really heating up on the eastern front, how long before Russia mobilizes its country fully?
It would be another disaster for them if they did that. Untrained demoralised soldiers with poor equipment and poor leadership would be massacred on a WW1 scale.
Another failed bridging attempt? https://twitter.com/MateuszSobiera3/status/1527591936198119424?s=20&t=OijS-0pYor2mIrUaKfBpDA
Just a tip for you. If you put an enter at the end of your link, this twitter post will show up.
But maybe you prefer just to post a link?
..
If the Russians are still trying to cross the Donets then is it reasonable to assume that Ukraine have no significant presence on the eastern bank?
And the railway from Belgorod to Izyum is still secure and out of range (> 20km) of Ukrainian artillery?
Excellent read. Interesting to hear that the word "de-Nazification" has fallen out of favour with the regime. It was introduced by the media on the hoof and almost by accident, but it has failed to gain traction with the Russian public and has been quietly shelved.
More Russian gains
I believe that's new footage (it was released a few days ago actually) of the previous bridging attempt.
Sorry for the daily mail link, but it's from the original crossing attempts. I can't recall, but I think they made 3 attempts, the video posted a few posts up is from the same battle and not one that took place in the past few days.
These gains have been obvious for days but many people in denial imo.
This is where the 3rd attempt was made to cross the Donets, you can see the 3 pylons

It's 15 km west of where the 2 previous attempts were.

Those first '2' attempts were at the exact same point in the river and the 2nd was an attempt to rescue their stranded men/equipment on the southern bank.
It's more that if they keep it up they could cut off and surround sievierodonetsk. That's the main objective.
They maybe mixing up pictures, but they hardly posted the photos back on May 13th/15th based on a video that was just released today of a new bridging attempt by Russia. I'm just going by the pic of 3 electric pylons posted back on May 13th with the same 3 pylons present in the video posted earlier today stating it's a more recent river crossing attempt (which to me looks like the same infamous crossing attempts)
war crimes evidence
Russians stroppy President plans to bomb the Ukraine back to the stone age before leaving. Maximum financial damages so the west picks up the tab. Thats my take in it. Russia did the same thing with every war they started. I hope every red cent of Russian assets are sent to rebuild Ukraine.
Its not a sure thing but it's worrying. Hopefully they'll get pushed back but if they can meet up with the north then it's not going to be good.
I am no military strategist but the following strategy stated by a boardie earlier made perfect sense to me and is as follows:- allow Ru army to advance - in a line/ along a road , if possible or at least in a group. This will stretch the Ru advance group over a longer front. The Ru see to repeat its offensive strategy at each offensive attempt.
On the other hand, the Ukr anians- both army / civilians/etc - seem to be much more mobile, more motivated and getting increasingly better armed, increasingly improved real time/almost real time intelligence. And because of this saying that the Ru have taken over this town and that town needs to be seen in the above context.
Also, I assume the RU do not know / only have a vague idea of what type of weapons. , their numbers, continual supply re weapons supply to Ukraine. And therefor RU has to do a lot of guessing re what to expect when it wants to dig in / defend and especially to go on the offensive.
Id say within 3 months hopefully,time is not with Russia,its with Ukraine
The longer the war,the more Russia will suffer
The Ukrainians need to get in ra mode and start bombing.
From making trenches in radioactive dust to fortify positions with ammonium nitrate
No wonder Russia suffers from braindrain
I think all their IQ have left the country
Its the same tactics used around Kiyv
You let the russians in and ambush them and their supply lines,untill they run out of resources
Its easier to defend than attack,and you lose less of your own troops this way
Problem in Donbas is that Russia have shorter supply lines,but Ukraine have artillery that outranges most of russias now.
And Russia only have limited air superiority in Donbas,but Ukraine have recived more advanced air defences from NATO.
In the long run,no army is able to keep up with this and Russia doesnt have unlimited manpower and equipment,unless they mobilise for war,and that wont happen.
US refused Ukraine long range missiles for a reason,if you bring the fight to russian soil,Putin will have an excuse to mobilise
Are you mixing up Rubizhne with somewhere else? I don't see the advance or railhub around there.

Important to remember Ukraine towns often share names between Oblasts; I assume he was referring to Rubizhne in Kharkiv Oblast which is a much smaller town compared to Rubizhne in Luhansk Oblast.
Am curious as to how the Ukr army approaches the achieving the maximum ‘damage’ where the RU army is trying the het up a river crossing - especially where using a Bailey bridge.
Apart from doing a reconisence to spot where it is being put in place, I assume that theUKr wait until the bridge is complete, then wait until a certain number of vehicles have crossed, then isolate them by blowing up bridge - hopefully with a good number of vehicles on bridge at the time and taking them out- proceed to bombard all tanks at far side of river and finally watch tanks , which had crossed , to see where are they ‘ wandering to’ and pick off as ‘appropriate’ . They probably will be driving around like lost bees - their fuel supply, support facilities, backup, etc, completely cut off from them
Not good. The major supply route to Severodonetsk looks to be in danger. Unless they can counter-attack to keep the road safe, they're either going to need to withdraw from the Severodonetsk, or allow it to be encircled.
I am surprised that Russia even move that amount of armoured vehicles and personell over a floating bridge with no air support and artillery support as cover for the attacking troops.
It seems like desperation from the Russians at this stage
