It has always been the Russian government's position that the entire purpose of this operation was to secure the Donbass region and the Donbass region alone. All other objectives are secondary. Along the way, we discovered that there were biolabs that were producing chemical weapons, and they got shut down. We have been attacking Kiev and other regions and cities within Ukraine as part of a general de-nazificiation strategy, to lure out and destroy azov. That objective has been mostly achieved. We never intended to take Kiev or any region other than Donbass and there is no evidence that that was ever the objective.
It is frankly pathetic the amount of shills on here who repeat blatant falsehoods about the overwhelming success of the current operation and strategy. We may have said in the past or shown by our actions that we wanted to take Kiev. Russian tactics look disjointed and attrition-like, but that is to the untrained eye. People that know about military tactics know that such actions are intended to confuse and bewilder the enemy. Whilst we engaged the enemy on their territory, they were distracted and we could focus on Donbass, our only military objective.
Now that we have succeeded in de-nazification plank of the campaign, we can now focus on securing Donbass region, which is our only actual objective.
Russia is not engaged in failed nation building like America in Iraq or Afghanistan. Building a liberated Ukraine from scratch with so many nationalists would be very difficult anyway: it is not something we ever wanted.
tl;dr shills are COPEING because Russian victory is in sight, and that victory is securing parts of the Donbass region.

I've been thinking of getting a kot. Not sure if i want to leave it alone for 9 hours a day though. Makes me feel bad for the poor thing. Would make it less lonely around here though
I love in-fighting so much Both this and the supposedly commander that got ran over by a tank or something I don't like when /chug/ in-fights though :(((
They act like putin is playing EU4 and trying to conquer provinces, and that troops magically replenish with no consequence. It's so out of touch with reality.

Chugchuds.... Putinpals.... How the fuck are you coping with this!?
I imagine it like in Stellaris. After you defeat the main force, you are free to roam the enemy territory and pickup the smaller fleets. Only stopping points are planets (cities) which must be properly bombarded before you can send xenomorphs (chechens).
Apparently Russia plays with pacific civic so they can't use indiscriminate bombardment (150%army damage 50% pops damage). Thus conquering planets takes a long time and Russia is in danger of War Exhaustion. Moreover other empires in the gallactic community have more time to conspire against you. I can write about this all day.

That is actually something I totally believe. My grandfather also told me story where they shot their own company commander in the back during a skirmish in '44 because he was too glory hungry.
They have cells all across Ukraine but Mariupol was their headquarters where the vast majority of them were

What do you mean, meme fren? Mongs are saying because Kiev hasn't fallen that Vlad is losing? I read a comment saying bombing the redditörs was a sign of desperation. The bee bee cee had some war analyst on Tuesday being imposed the "Russia is losing" thing on the podcast, it was weird because he hesitated on agreeing with the talking cunt
Hey So basically I'm just gonna not support ukraine I Know..... UGH I know... It's just that I'm not gonna support them is all AHAHAHAHRHAHAHA HARAHARHARH.
This. It's funny how they cherry-pick from the report. Russia destroyed 2/3 of armour and 5/6 of anything flying. Moreover, the East is heavily defended since Ukraine was planning to attack DNR on 28th of Feb and expected the same response from Russia as it was in the Past (limited forces mainly on DNR region). That's why it was critical that Russia gained South on both sides of Dnepr. Even Mariupol was encircled, mainly thanks to South's forces. Pushing Ukraine from DNR lands is more important than Kiev. They'll announce government in exile anyway.
Who cares about filtertards, they're as bad as western media.

I haven't really been paying attention lately, but it was always my assumption that the goal in ukraine was to take the donbass, maybe take everything east of the dniper river so they have a natural defense on their western border, and level ukraine's military and industrial infrastructure. It seems that russia has more or less achieved all those goals already and the only thing left is cleaning up the ukrainian forces that they've kettled east of the dnieper.
This'll probably be wrapped up by the end of next month, and western ukraine will be devestated economically by all the damage to infrastructure, as well as losing their ports, as well as losing all the manpower from refugees who aren't coming back.. Part of the peace talks will probably involve international observerrs to prevent western ukraine from militarizing again or recieving arms shipments from the west.
So russia gains a lot of territory, ukraine as a political and economic entity ceases to exist, and western ukraine becomes moldova 2.0 except more irrational.
Paradox has ruined the way people think about war on Carolinian Cotton Collection forums. There is not a single war in human history that fought for map painting.

Yesterday the Putinbots were celebrating the fall of Mariupol.
Today their own Putinbot map shows the frontline has barely changed at all. It's hilarious. They make up victories because they have non.
Meanwhile Ukechads are celebrating the imminent liberation of Kherson.
How long have you been away, pastabro? It got liberated yesterday, Azov got slaughtered. I think all that remains now is a part of the port installations.

you have to wonder about the intelligence of the shills here, why do they keep insisting that there was any other objective besides securing a small part of Donbass?

Over a month in they have only taken some rural villages in the Donbas (northern Luhansk and southern Donetsk). No major Donbas cities have been taken. No kotel has been formed.
Everywhere else Russia is losing territory. Ukraine has of course lost some military infrastructure and equipment. But NATO is giving Ukraine effectively infinite supplies. It will be easy to rebuild.
The Russian advance has stopped. Their retreat has begun (aka PHASE TWO!)

They'll take anything at this point. They'll ignore they're strengthening the east and that they can go for the rest later, they're more in an optics NOW kinda mindset like how they shilled mariupol would be lifted from the siege in a counter attack
Samuel White
Ukraine's minimum (and very achievable) war goals are retaking the Donbas and Crimea and NATO membership.
I think considering the way the war is going Russia will be also forced to pay massive reparations. And Putin will be deposed (hopefully killed).
My dream stretch goals are the return of the historic Ukrainian Rostov and Krasnodar regions. Unlikely but a man can dream.
What Ukraine cannot recover is manpower. They have no army left, and now Russia can just walk into Donbass and take whatever they want. The Ukrainian army cannot leave Kiev or Kharkov, or else the Russians will simply walk in, but they no longer have the men to defend other areas as well. It's unironic 4D chess, and Ukraine got checkmated.
You are also free to come to my house and get stabbed.
Austin King
I am 80% it was confirmed by Ukraine, though I think the justification and story changed. The prevailing story might have been that SBU sought to arrest him, and when he resisted arrest, he ended up dying.
Brandon Scott
Agreed. It was likely always the goal to take the southern part of Ukraine only, it is just easier to make a deal with ukraine, if they had control of the whole country and capital. 2nd phase is properly just a half truth.
Why didn't they blur out the cat's face too? Now everybody will know what the cat looks like.

To join NATO hohols had to regain their territorial integrity, so they started an assault on Donbass, but Putin recognize Donbass republics as an independent states and now he can legally defend them if they asked for help. I like how retards in the west call this invasion illegal, but it's really clever and within the international law.
Caleb Adams
That claim is as fake as Jews claiming a piece of land they owned 5 thousand years ago

AFAIU if they don't get concessions with the NATO membership, then they will be left with no choice but to Zelensky may just watch Kyiv and Kharkiv get razed and giggle in his miami villa
Please point to the part of my post that suggests, even for a moment, that Russia is losing or retreating. Oh yeah, that too : Russia will not be retreating from around Kiev, Kharkov and Nikolaev. I don't know why shills somehow believe they will.

How many of you niggers got vaxxed? Serious question tiem. Looks like there are some all out fuck this world kind of faggots everywhere and wondering if it might be because you know you're fucked either way.
Let me get this straight What basically russia did was attack a bunch of points rather than focus on a single one so they could weaken ukrainian military, therefore now being able to do whatever they want around Ukraine?
Western officials say many things. Credibility is close to zero as recent history has shown. A tweet is worth as much as my farts.

I want this war to be over as fast as possible. Noone is winning anything in it besides some rich faggots and (((them))). But Russia really blundered. Will they win? kinda. probably.
But it will take time and a lot of young guys will die a senseless death in what is esecially a european civil war.

Carson Roberts
i mean, we're probably getting disinformation from the russians in terms of their plans right now anyways. They may be saying this right before they make a push into the west, who knows. I mean, they were mocking the western headlines about the russian invasion right up until they invaded, so they're clearly taking the position of putting out false information to confuse and decieve.
James Brown
Guys, why don't we write a little triumph song for our war hero Vladimir Zelensky? In gratitude for his victory over the Russian hordes, in awe before his unmatched courage on the battlefield and his wisdom as the leader and teacher of the Ukrainian people. I would do it myself, but I'm the second worst poet in the history of failure. Please help.
Vladimir Zelensky, mounter of a thousand hens, father of a million children, , , something like that...please help putting it into the right words. Add whatever you feel improves it. I know some of you have talent with that.
far as I know he was a very unremarkable position in his KGB days, bought West German newspapers and chatted up randos on the street then he worked as an aide for the Governor of St. Petersburg THEN he was appointed Director of FSB, but only lasted there for a year then he was a Secretary of the Security Council for 5 months and 4 months after that Yeltsin appointed him to be acting President
