No comment.
Or else officially make a declaration of war, and go on a full all-out war footing, full military mobilization, and as the 3 muppeteers said, bring the army up to full strength of 5 million soldiers. A very risky maneuver for Putin, even if it would make Kadyrov and Prigozhin happy.
I would be thinking more around 30-40k but again only my opinion.
The battle for the Donbas at the start of the summer was particularly brutal for Ukraine.
I'd be somewhere around the 20k +
They haven't been fighting full on drawn out battles where 20,000 -30,000 are going toe to toe in every fight, most of the predictions of bloody battles that would take years to clear out the Russians hasn't happened,we keep seeing disorganized retreats , we've seen the Russian bodies literally piling up all over ukraine from streets to rubbish dumps,
Yes they are taking casualties but I don't think they are anywhere near what the Russians have lost and will continue to lose
Some surrendered, one lad came out and opened fire, all bets are off, time to put the rest of the possible escapees to sleep
Ive seen this full video, all the russians are lying down as can be seen, but just as they all lie flat on their stomachs, an idiot orc comes out all guns blazing and succeeds in injuring one of the Ukrainian soldiers.
When one of them comes out all guns blazing, all bets are off.
This looked like a planned attempt by the orcs to try and shoot their way out of being captured and who wants the bother of trying to look after and keep an eye in a large group of enemy soldiers you have an inkling may be looking for the right moment to execute their escape, killing you along with it.
Once the hero opened fire he signed all their death warrants - good riddance
this lad goes in on the Germans !
Not sure Id believe that.
But that’s only my opinion.
We might have found where those missing generals ended up? 🤭
The front line is too long for a war. I’m sure that’s what you meant.
More intrigue-
Because they've lost so much trying to take it. It's centre of media attention for a month now and if Ukraine holds it and they stop attacking it's a major victory and morale booster for Ukraine. It would signal Russia no longer have the capability to hold it.
Obviously it's not smart but Russia has decided it must take ukraine or at least everything East of the Dnipro. The only smart choice is leaving Ukraine and cutting their losses but for someone like Putin that could be the end.
The only place I could see Russia holding onto in Ukraine with relative success is Crimea but if Ukraine retook all of Kherson oblast right across to Mariupol I'm not so sure they would even hold Crimea considering all supply routes would be under fire.
Anyway back to reality I think Putin will throw another couple of hundred thousand Russians at the frontlines over the next year just to keep the line roughly where it is and I expect further Ukrainian counter attacks pushing them back ever closer to the 2014 lines.
the front-line is too long and unmanageable for a SMO, they need to retreat to more manageable frontiers, possibly just the Donbas and Crimea
I think it's down to the fact that they know metiplol is at risk of being cut off and taken by the Ukrainans,if metiplol can be cut off like Kherson denying the Russians there supplies and reenforcements ,the land bridge to Crimea is completely cut off ,and puts the the Russians in an even worse position,and allows Ukraine to bring more artillery to the fore and potentially being able to target vital infrastructure in Crimea ,
They will keep falling back until they can find something to defend that would be difficult to attack, but we had predictions of Kherson being the bloodiest battle since WW2 and all we got a was another retreat
If today's reports of Russia retreating from certain towns in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts are true, why is that happening? Is it too costly for them to defend them and do they believe they can deny them to Ukraine via artillery even if they're not manned. It seems strange to be giving them up without a fight and exacting a high toll from Ukraine for them.
I skipped through the video. One angry judge (not sure if real) and one spoofer who was obviously out of his depth at times. Then he tries to claim that Poland will invade West Ukraine. More chance of my great grand mother rising from the dead.
So far all your posts have been countered and exposed as nonsense with practically no response from you. As a result you’re flip flopping like a fish out of water. It’s not working. While you attempt to throw **** af the fan and it’s blowing back at you.
To be honest I thought it would be higher than that but not as high as 100k.
13,000 Ukrainian soldiers KIA ...
This might upset some
Are you still spouting nonsense that nobody is actually taking seriously
Ritter discussing the situation with judge Napolitano. Disagree with several points Ritter makes but by and large strategic military assessment seems reasonable enough to me. He doesn't seem to like Ukraine very much so have to take some things with a pinch of salt.
Very different to the opinion expressed here. While shocking I find it more logical than a lot of western commentary, i.e. Putin dying, Russia running out of ammunition, Russia blew up their own pipelines, etc.
Bakhmut is a kill zone, not sure why it’s taking Russia so long to realise that.
No, I didn't think it was one way. However, certainly prior to the invasion the incident escalation seemed have been predominantly centered in the Russian backed Donbas region, at least that's what the OSCE shows. Maybe Russia was bombing the separatists or they were bombing themselves.
Meanwhile in Zaporizhzhia.
Another retreat!!!
Bakhmut holds ..
Maybe don't write off Bakhmut just yet:
macron is in town
Strange he mentioned only the US and France...does he not know about all the other Country's involved?
Viktor yanukovic former president of Ukraine aka Putin puppet had hundreds of millions in swiss banks accounts , billons stashed elsewhere belongings to Ukraine ,
I thought it would be circa 80bn instead of €8bn. According to the book byCatherine Belton -Putin’s People- there was a constant stream of ‘black cash’ being salted away in various Swiss banksZ
Biden: Washington and Paris are facing the Russian threat to Europe
Biden: We are determined, with France, to confront the Russian war in Ukraine
