Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Maybe they are just saving it from being stolen by Russians when they get there. It is also probably bit far from frontlines as they are strolling around in crocs which on the other hand could be standard u-army issue who knows...

At Sieverodonetsk direction Russian army shelled Sieverodonetsk, Borivske, Ustynivka and Lysychnask, conducted airstrike near Myrna Dolyna, attempted to conduct assault actions near Metyolkine and Bilohorivka. Battles ongoing in central part of Sieverodonetsk, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the morning report

At Kurakhove direction Russian aviation conducted airstrike at Maryinka, also shelled Vidrodhzennia, Dolomytne, Toretsk, Novobakhmutivka, Avdiivka, Pisky, Mykilske, Vuhledar and other , - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the evening report

I'm expecting the Russians to grind to a halt in Severodonetsk. They are probably taking huge casualties.

Slow grinding gains in the East for the Russians, but the cost must be absolutely staggering. Id also wonder how the Russians ability to hold areas they seize and over extending their supply lines. Going to be a large frontier for them to defend and hold. Particularly when newer artillery pieces get involved.

Ukraine gained some ground back in Severodonetsk last night so I think this battle will rage for some time with the advantage of artillery fire from the high ground across the river in lysychansk with very good accuracy because of line of sight.Reports of high losses of wagner so hope that's true.The storming of the city was done with up to 7/1 advantage for the russians so losses must have been huge.It's probably back to 3/1 now.There is little strategic advantage to the war in gaining Severodonetsk for Russia.They are wasting time and energy there.The push southward from Izium is strategic and will probably be the next big push if Russia can organise it.

......and behind the scenes.

"No day without training! And all in order to drive the enemy from our land, so that no enemy passes by us."

Apparently being violently interrogated to get information about crimes committed against Russia

If the Irish senate were to announce that they would stop recognising the Nazi Holocaust as a genocide, there'd be uproar, and rightly so. These types of announcements are quite important in their symbolism and indications of allegiance, and the latest such one shows how far things have shifted since last Christmas when relations with Russia were relatively normal.

As for what the Russian embassy thinks, I don't care. F*ck them. They're little more than an espionage division. They're probably too busy twiddling their nipples thinking about all the extra nefarious spy stuff they could have done if they'd gotten the planning permission for the embassy expansion through.

Day in, day out, Russian television, never-ending talk about attacking other countries
