Olga Semydyanova, dubbed the Breeder of Starokostiantyniv, mother of 48 children and regular consumer of Hiкoтинaмiдaдeнiндинyклeoтидфocфaт, was killed in a battle against Russian invaders.
She defended the country to the end, even when she knew that their battalion might not survive.
>Fierce urban combat continues in Mariupol. The DPR Armed Forces are slowly advancing through the city. The Chechen National Guard, on the other hand, takes Putin's wish for them to "take care of themselves" very seriously and masterfully avoids any participation in actual combat operations.
>To the west of Volnovakha, the DPR forces have established full control over the village of Stepnoye. The troops are slowly advancing towards the largest AFU defense and communications hub in the area located southwest of Donetsk - Kurakhovo.
>Fierce fighting with costly frontal attacks continues near Mariyinka and Avdeevka, without any significant success.
>Near Popasna, Severodonetsk and Lisichansk, the LPR forces continue to slowly squeeze the enemy out.
>Fighting continues near Kamianka, south of Izyum. The outcome of it is still unclear, but in Slavyaansk and Kramatorsk the enemy is urgently preparing to do a repeat of Volnovakha. It appears that the AFU has just as much confidence in our generals (in particular, their ability to smash the troops against heavily fortified enemy positions until manpower runs out) as they have in themselves.
They made a season that is war themed months ago, and now don't want to upset reddit but obviously can't just not release a season.

Because it's impossible for the Russians to accurately know enemy casualties. So even if they want to accurately give us those numbers, they can't. At best they have a general idea of how many enemy units they've knocked out.
The more I read about the Syrian War the more it becomes clear to me that Putin almost single handedly saved that country from total Libya style disaster with his military assistance, anti-aircraft etc. and CIA have been fucking seething about it ever since. CIA pumped hundreds of millions into Syria that killed >100,000 Syrian soldiers trying to collapse the Assad government and it was all for nothing.
Zelensky became a dictator and banned other political parties I'm not joking.

>Finally, news from the category "Don't know whether to laugh or cry":
>Konstantin Sivkov from Len-TV* declared that "the Donetsk grouping of the AFU is practically encircled already". Well, if such opinion is shared by former colleagues of Mr. Sivkov in the General Staff, then I'd like to remind our "top professionals", that in order to justify such a bold statement, the Russian Federation forces still need to cut off "only" three large transport highways that connect the "practically encircled" grouping with their rears: >1. Slavyansk-Barvenkovo-Lozovaya; >2. Gorlovka-Pokrovsk-Pavlograd; >3. Kurakhovo-Pokrovskoe-Zaporozhye. >("Yandex-maps" to the rescue, but if the brilliant General Staff does not know how to use them - I am ready to provide advisory services absolutely free of charge). >And, unfortunately, our units are yet to reach any of these arterial roads. *A pun on Den'-TV, a pro-Russian Youtube-channel that Strelkov sees as a den of armchair generals (Дeнь/Лeнь = day/laziness)
So, it happened AGAIN. We can blame Putin, we can blame Redditors, we can blame NATO, we can praise Zelenskyy's music video, DNR's effort but the truth is it's simply not enough. Javelins, NLAWs you name it, it all stinks.
Don't get me wrong, I still have full faith in AFU and Twitter, but MASSIVE reinforcements are desperately needed in the two weeks. Otherwise I'm not very optimistic about Kiev, or our chances in qualifying for the European Union for that matter. Not fighting like this. What do you think, /ugh/? Is NATO the problem? Or is it USA? Azov #IN or #OUT?
That level of zooming mildly reminds me of a us navy ad from the early 00s. Zoomed in on a base, then guard tower, then guard, then fly on his shirt, with overdone thermal effect and crosshairs... iirc, the next shot of the ad was a missile launch. One hell of a fly swat. Still doesn't compare to the shit the marines put in their ads. Join the marines and sword fight dragons.
More like surrender of Ukrainians. Especially instead of civilians throwing their lives away by uselessly throwing molotov cocktails at tanks. As instructed by their government that want Ukrainians dead and gone.
Anyone got a link to the rally Putin held with eng. subs that doesn't have retarded commentators spilling shit out of their mouth
Daniel Diaz
OMG look the clear my not Nazi government of Ukraine is ducked by Israel this means putin isn’t Jewish and literally propping israel up (along with the Chinese)
NATO had promised Russia they would only put in a no-fly zone without any further intervention, them betraying that promise and over stepping in Libya was another one of the many steps that led us to the current situation with so much mistrust
Rybar calculates losses by taking the crew of a destroyed object e.g. Tank = 3, Aircraft = 1 and cuts them in half with one assumed being losses, the other wounded. The only thing you can really take from this chart are the destroyed vehcles, which are claimed oficially and updated everyday by the MoD and maybe POWs.

Daily reminder, if we needed any, that everyone that tells you that this is about defending democracy against tyranny is either a duplicitous snake, dumb as a brick, or both.
>b-b-b-b-but they were all tied to Russia!! >I-It's just a coincidence that everyone Zelensky disagrees with is a FSB agent!
