Original thread:
Ukraine geolocated just out Korenevo town, an important regional hub with all the roads and rail line going through it.
That’s 48km from Sudzha and well outside what ISW has on their map
”BBC says” sanitary zone is growing now into second Oblast
Interesting that this was mentioned on this thread previously.
I've always found liveuamap to be fairly accurate. If I was on Telegram I'd probably follow rybar.
Yes only yesterday, seems the Russians didn’t get memo about them Geneva conventions
I wonder what German response will be? Sell less machinery that can be used to make weapons to Russian factories??
Lol
Invite the Russian ambassador and embassy staff to the airbase for 'tea and refreshments'…
Are Ukraine fully in control of the furthest villages or are they just advance unit or units of Ukraine recon element/elements?Just go into village and let local population see them and leave and move onto next village and state we're in this village and local population state same and then gets reported back to Russian military but by time Russia responds that unit has moved onto next village further on, rinse and repeat and causes Russia to extend its military to multiple points. Which I say is Ukraines plan. It's really working a treat for Ukraine at moment. Very much causing Russia problems and headaches that they didn't think they would have to deal with. It's just very hard to know what's going on but that's a good thing as I say Russians are in the same predicament.
Interesting choice of facilities. Köln Wahn, the military part of Cologne/Bonn airport, is home of the Luftwaffe's Executive Air Wing as well as for Germany's fleet of A330 MRTTs, whilst Geilenkirchen is the home of NATO's Joint AWACS fleet. Köln-Wahn is actually pretty accessible for outsiders, since it also houses the air terminal for soldiers and their dependents heading off to overseas postings, which is open to the public. Geilenkirchen is more concerning, since it's in the middle of nowhere. Smells to me like it's definitely more than just your typical militant pacifists who are behind this…
Report of Ukrainians feeding Russian civilians in Sudzha
https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/sCBtjCnLiV So if they have the logistics in place to feed civilians then logistics must be in place for brigades involved
Them Russians if they were smart would use this opportunity to escape Putin’s repression and join the civilised world
Looks like Ukraine attacked "Four" ruskie airbases last night…

A sanitory zone.Maybe Putin will appeal to Donny Von for assistance?
Definitely ,are they all there?
(But would we want them?)
The Russians have barely laid a glove on the Ukrainians in the region since the day of the invasion. The longer they stay entrenched there, the much harder it will be to get them back out again.
Generally speaking (from a military pov) is Ukr better off fighting in Russia than at home?
The Russians have to attack and defenders normally have the advantage.
Why is Ukraine now waging a war in Russian territory?
Open a new front. Force Russian army to redeploy from South. Morale boost.
attack is the best form of defence?
depressing
Better than waging war in their own territory.
Would you rather have a bonfire in your garden or your neighbours?
NATO provoked them or something.
Historically Kursk is Ukraine
You see, taps side of head, it’s all part of the master plan hatched up by CIA back in 80s when they recruited a youngling called Putin in Berlin. These shadowy organisations then proceeded to help him rise through the murky criminal and political (same thing in Russia) ladders until he placed himself at top of the pile on New Year’s Eve at turn of the century
He then proceeded to deindustrialise Russia and turn it into an even more corrupt oil petro state
Finally during covid lockdowns the expertly vaccine delivered 5G antennas in his brain received an CIA (or is it IMF?) authenticated activation signal and Putin decided to start largest invasion in Europe since WW2 in process further harming the terrible Russian demographic situation by killing half a million Russian men, alienating Russia on every stage and making them a puppet of Chinese comrades
And now the war has come to Russia itself and instead of doing something about it he in a week removed the military from command, placed the KGB, removed the KGB, placed his body guard in charge
You see it’s all part of an elaborate 42D chess grand master strategy crafted for our man in Moscow
🤯
Exactly.
Set up another meat grinder, but this time on Russian territory. Makes it very hard for Russia not to rush in.
so Ukraine have captured sudzha which enables them to shut off the gas pipeline which transits 50% of russias gas supplies to Europe. hmmmmmmm- more gas price increases this winter?
It has indeed, and once they enter their houses, and close the doors, the transformation is astounding. Off come's all the outward trappings of Islam, and underneath you have western garb and mannerisms. For sure, a secular state cannot come fast enough for them. People are controlled pretty much in the same as Putin controls Russians, through fear and terror but in Iran, it's under the guise of religion. Same as you found, lovely intelligent friendly people, and it's a beautiful country to drive through. I spent some time in Teheran, but mainly in Mashhad, a very religious city, and travelled between Mashhad and Herat in Afghanistan many times.
It's not a war, it's a special military operation to deNazify Russia
The gas pipelines cross Ukraine anyway, they already had the ability to shut them off.
Maybe but sure we all have to do our bit and take the pain, in order to support Ukraine and it's citizens in their valiant struggle.
Defending a salient complicates things over defending a relatively straight front with internal lines of communication. If the Russians were more competent and able to move fast* they could pinch off the projection and crush the encircled Ukrainians.
*So probably not.
