Following the Russian collapse after being caught sleeping I’ve finally figured out what the Z they use on vehicles stands for. Zzzzzzzzz
Putin has two choices 1.) continue to be routed, which will be hugely embarrassing, until Ukraine reach all their objectives.
2.) state he is pulling his troops out because [insert BS reason re Nazi’s etc] objective has been completed.
The latter I think gives himself his best chance to survive as 🤴of Russia.
Yes all their equipment,ammo,tanks,armoured vehicles
And also a major railway hub
Quite a reward
hmmm I dunno now. The lads retreating may be fairly peeved and want to take some kind of revenge. Imagine thousands of troops returning to the Kremlin. Could get real ugly real fast.
Thats harsh and cynical… possibly correct 😅
I don't see any Ukraine or Russian sources suggesting this. Right now everything seems to be localised to the Kharkiv region.
these lads will be heading to Kupiansk.
I would say russia moved alot of their troops to kherson because they thought thats where Ukraine would make the big attack but now they dont have enough troops left in the north to defend the Ukrainian blitzkrieg
Honestly rogber i think any command from Putin or his inner circle to go nuclear in London or any other NATO city would be completely ignored by his generals and would mean Putin and his cronies strung up by their necks. An attack on London would basically mean an attack on Moscow in retaliation resulting in millions of dead Russians who would be family and friends of those same Russian generals. Basically it ain't happening.
Now would a chemical or tactical nuke in Ukraine be an option to a humiliated Putin, well that's a totally different question and not something i see as completely out of the realms of possibilities to a defeated Russia.
I think his final option is to declare a war as opposed to a "Special Operation", how he can throw numbers and the kitchen sink at it.
There's a lot of talk of bluff and counter bluff from the Ukrainians. They were making big dramatic announcements but perhaps designed to deceive the Russians of their real plans.
That depends on local Ukrainian commanders I'd guess, if it comes to pass.
Same Russian soldiers haven't exactly covered themselves in glory as regards how they've behaved towards civilian populations. You live by the sword and die by it. How has Russia treated Ukrainian prisoners of war?
He's strongly nationalistic, so he wouldn't be close to my idea of an ideal replacement.
I'm not sure there's much left of the kitchen sink to be throwing about.
Leading story in the Russian state run media today is about the construction of a ferris wheel in Moscow.
Russian colonel captured, wounds being treated.
Mr Lotsabuttons openly threatened the rest of the panel of commentators on state TV to stop with the criticisms of Russias poor performance in the face of Ukraines advance and appearing to panic - on Russian TV, in front of the country - with a not even remotely subtle reference to Stalin having said that those who panic should be shot.
'let me remind you that l. V. Stalin called for the ones who panic to be shot'
I wouldn't be surprised if he starts having serious problems getting anyone on the panel from now on. A few ill chosen words and the FSB will come knocking, and it will be the last sound you here before plumetting from the top floor of a building, even if you live at ground level.
You wouldn't catch me going on that panel, I'd be looking at the options for getting out of the country as fast as possible.
It’s hard to keep up with all the good news
Something bit me. 🤐
Is that the same wheel that’s about to come off? 😀😂
I do, every Russian soldier should be killed animals they are, if Ukrainian soldiers want to take Some losses in doing that well then let them at it.
If this is true,the Ukrainian army advance in an incredible speed,and russian forces are possibly routin
How do you see that panning out… do the inexperienced “soldiers” hop on the nearest ox and ride into battle?

Rumors flying around that Lysychansk has been targeted for counteroffensive, with later reporting that it has been recaptured.
All unconfirmed but hard to believe that many, after the past 72 hours manoeuvres, will think that its possibly true.
Anyone ever played at toppling dominos?
His kitchen sink has more holes than an Amsterdam brothel. The games up for the botox dwarf.
No wonder russian forces have trouble with communications,lol
Russian corruption strikes again
I'm sorry but that's just not right. The minute we lower ourselves to the level of the Russian's we are done for. Are some of them animals and scum yes they are but a lot are just piss poor lads who know no better and come from places of pure poverty. Many will not even know what they are fighting for and are just desperate for a wage. I don't think people know just the level of poverty in vast parts of Russia and how poorly Putin has left parts of it to rot.
If Ukraine abandon's all decency towards Russian soldiers then Putin will use that propaganda to his own gain and stir up national pride. Thankfully it looks like Zelensky knows this and hasn't been stupid enough to suggest what you want.
Russian ministry of lies and misinformation
I never said there were, I said it was quite possible and you were the one speculating not I.
Kill em , kill them all .
So that no child born in Russia in the next century will ever want to set foot inside of Ukraine for fear of being turned into fertilizer
