They have tried for 5 weeks to take Bakhmut with heavy losses,and havent really made and gains to write home about
Even if Bakhmut falls it will mean nothing to Ukraine but a political victory to show to Kremlin for Wagner group
Never heard of that person. I am going by this site which has always been accurate https://liveuamap.com/#
He gives pretty good updates daily from Ukraine,and i guess they get their updates from the same sources as your link
Seems Orbán has changed his tune over the last few days
So its all down to Erdogan and his political gains now
Reason why Orban changed his mind is probably because he wont get money from the EU
If Russia lose enough military resources taking Bakhmut then it would be a strategic defeat.
Poor sods alright. But they just all f**k off back to Russia and save their skins.
At this stage you have to use a video game analogy. Ukraine started with bronze star guys. russia had bronze and some silver. russia has pretty much lost all it's silvers and bronze now just using fresh troops. Ukraine now is just creating more an more gold star troops. Talking like a RTS game. You cant win against that quality of troops vs none at all.
At Bakhmut and Avdiyivka directions Russian army shelled Serebryanka, Spirne, Yakovlivka, Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Opytne, Klischiyivka, Andriyivka, Kurdumivka, Vesele, Avdiyivka, Vodyane, Pervomayske, Krasnohorivka, Kurakhove, Maryinka and Novomykhaylivka of Donetsk region, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the morning report
Yep. Deserting and heading home would be the right (and honourable) thing to do considering the wrongness of their cause.
They face execution at the hand of Russian blocking units ,it's death from Ukrainans, hypothermia,or fellow Russians .
Was going to post a video from bakhmut showing a Russian advance while a Ukrainan drone with thermal imaging picked them up over head just as artillery starts anilating them
Exactly,the losses are not sustainable if this continues
Seems like Vladimir Putin is well aware about the threat his private armies pose to him personally. Military supplies between Eastern China (Ussuri river crossing) and Russia have been blocked, despite being fully paid for,with huge stockpiles on the Chinese side. Body Armour, heavy plates, Helmets, quad copters, Gloves, Optic's, Radios etc. This blockage was imposed by the Russian side. Reason given? Only persons with Kremlin clearance (ie Putin) are allowed to import anything of a military nature into the territory of the Russian Federation. So he is working on a further layer of personal protection re Private Armys.
I don't see any immediate threat for Bakhmut. Ukraine still control 3 roads/junctions into the city. With frontal assaults failing, the only way for Russia to take the city will be to cut the supply routes in order to force Ukraine to withdraw.
A bit like Stalingrad, which wasn't really necessary for the Germans to trake in order the close the Volga - their stated goal. They could have closed it from wherever they happened to reach it (as it happened, just north of Stalingrad at first), but Hitler wanted that extra poke in the eye to Stalin for the sake of prestige, and it cost him dearly.
Only for Ukraine, no telling where the Orcs would be by now, East Germany? Finland? Sweden? Hitting London with rockets? Impossible scenario??? Maybe, but if that were ever to happen, these people who seem to be happy to comment whenever are Ruzzians are perceived as advancing might have good cause to change their opinion.
Yes, but its some situation where the terrors they face on the front line are ranked less than the terrors they face going home to Russia, or even trying to go home.
Poor oul Putin is loved in Russia.
Astana is Kazakhstan in fact - they basically made a vulgar comment about him.
From tonights match between Uraguay and Portugal.
This is interesting.
Seems a foreign aircraft bombed a military base used by Wagner forces in the central African republic......
Who could do such a thing....
If say the gloves are off now, when it comes to the Wagner group. The head cnut openly admitted he was interfering in US elections and trying to cause strife. Would not o be surprised if his asserts all over the globe start going up in smoke.
It's obvious Bakhmut is at it's most precarious stage yet. But I don't think it's ready to fall yet. If the Russians are losing piles of soldiers multiple times higher then Ukraine, then it's worth holding at all costs.
Unless they make progress north and south and threaten to encircle I can't see them pulling back. It would be in Ukraines interest to hold until the real cold snaps hit. Russians will be dying even faster.
And when the ground freezes over don't be surprised if Ukraine use vehicles and armour in a counter attack to retake lost ground.
I'd also expect Russia to start using armour again themselves all across the front line. They've smartly decided to hold back in this regard so they're clearly learning from some mistakes.
But one thing is now certain. The rumoured November attack by Russia was true. They've gone all out across the Donbass and even Luhansk line yet made minimal gains. Disasterous mobilisation that will soon need another to keep this **** show going. Hopefully Ukraine are still training 10k soldiers abroad every month.
Was it the C word 😁
Yep - "Communist", they hate that !
Not sure why, they don't even know what one is !!!
lol I was thinking more fight outside the kabab shop at 3am C word.
Clown?
“CAN go unpunished…”
Thats nice of them ☺️
I'm sure Vlad the lad will issue a decree, he loves his decrees, so he does
I think Bakhmut could possibly be Putin's way of pulling Prigozhin's teeth by effectively getting Ukraine to run down the strength of the Wagner forces and hence his power.
