Russian forces are concentrating in the eastern, northwestern, and western outskirts of Kyiv for an assault on the capital in the coming 24-96 hours. The Russians are bringing up supplies and reinforcements as well as conducting artillery, air, and missile attacks to weaken defenses and intimidate defenders in advance of such an assault. It is too soon to gauge the likely effectiveness of any Russian attempt to complete the encirclement of Kyiv or to seize the city at this time. If Russian troops have been able to resupply, reorganize, and plan deliberate and coordinated simultaneous operations along the several axes of advance around and into the capital, they may be more successful in this operation than they have in previous undertakings. Operations near Kyiv in the past 72 hours have not offered enough evidence to evaluate that likelihood.
Russian troops in southern Ukraine continue to divide their efforts between attacks westward toward Mykolayiv and Odesa, attacks northward toward Zaporizhya, and attacks eastward toward Mariupol and Donbas. Failure to focus on any single line of advance has likely hindered Russian operations and will probably continue to do so. Russian troops in Kherson Oblast appear to be feeling their way around Mykolayiv, likely seeking to find a route across the Southern Bug River that would allow them to bypass Mykolayiv itself and resume their advance on Odesa. Those heading toward Zaporizhya currently lack the combat power likely necessary to encircle or take that large city. They could, however, set conditions for successful operations against Zaporizhya once reinforcements arrive following the fall of Mariupol and the opening of a wide land route westward from Donbas.

Straight on: fuck off Left: fuck off again Right: fuck off to Russia
Since Durov left, it's a propaganda\repression pool shithole sifted by the cops for "extremists". Just like Any Forums is FBI honeytrap for CP, VK is honeytrap for wrongthink. UI is irrelevant to new owners.
What hope do they even have of capturing Keev anymore? There are probably a million armed partisans there already and 20 nlaws around every corner. All they can do is flatten it

Why do people keep calling it a war? It's not a war, it's a special military operation. Russia isn't using even a fraction of its 2+ million army, but contractors. Not even half of the nominal Ukrainian army is currently mobilized, and it never will be, most of 'their' effort being conducted by nationalistic groups, released criminals, and special shock troops and mercenaries sent in covertly by NATO. Most of the local population is indifferent or supports Russians, but the Kiev government is threatening with execution anyone (and the families of anyone) that collaborates with or defect to the Russians. Still, many civilians are not cooperating and are instead providing intel to the Russians and even blocking Ukrainian officials (especially recruiters) from entering into their villages.
The US military-industrial complex doesn't care at all for Ukrainian civilians and is holding them hostage in a conflict they do not want, in order to further the western imperialistic plans, which is to, after robbing Ukraine dry, keep armed terrorist groups there waging an insurgency war, including with the use of bio-weapons to generate mass civilian casualties (which will be blamed on Russia). They hope the conflict will bankrupt Russia, alongside the western sanctions, by forcing them to fight a long, costly war of occupation. Their strategy is similar to what they did in WW2, terror-bombing Europe and Japan, then funding their reconstruction, according to US interests and as US puppets, with the Marshall Plan.

>The World Bank approved a $723 million package of loans and grants for Ukraine This is why Ukraine continues delaying negotiations.

I've noticed over the years that Russians seem to have two beliefs or attitudes in common:
1) Extreme paranoia, everyone is out to get them at all times. America, "the West", Europe, Germany, UK, China. Well the latter's true. But you get the idea.
2) Russia can only survive by being a great power. But the Russian conception of a great power has no room for anything save expanding outwards endlessly. To be "great", you must have dominion over other peoples. And you see this with everyone, from Dugin to Putin, Zhirinovsky to Zyuganov. Even Navalny is a bit like this although he's more cautious with his words.
I've always wondered where the second belief comes from. Germany is a great power despite being effectively demilitarised.

>population kept in dark by state media, encouraged to believe in conspiracy theorys, and the death of truth. suddenly everything is more expensive and harder to find >businesses forced to deal with sudden loss of supply chain and payment methods without explanation >cops get truth hidden from them, forced to beat up and arrest innocent protesters (some of them even got baited into invading ukraine apparently lol) >soldiers have orders hidden from them, terrible communication infrastructure >fsb supposedly write trumped up reports on tactical scenarios to please generals >generals kept in dark from what putin's endgame is does anyone in russia even know what the fuck is going on??? is this what a post truth world looks like? how do they even function?

not a single argument, just parroting more of the same western propaganda and stupid monkey "memes". You guys really are glowniggers, and not good ones.
