Ironic, because the Balt’s battle with ethnic displacement was with Russian subhumans being bussed in.

is that the 22nd town that fell today? everything seems to be crumbling

Yeah but imagine how much MORAL HIGH GROUND we will have once hohols are done massacring all those ethnic Russians!

almost certainly, further driving the message to people in Eastern Ukraine that when things become tough Russians will just run away and let them get murdered

you lost 127,000 square kilometers lol

LOL ziggers have to filter their own thread

the great kherson counteroffensive consisted of the russians falling back while the hohols advanced, and then enveloping the spearheads and destroying them entirely, it's basically the oldest trick in the book

nah they made some progress today. it was a distraction to get russia to move 20k+ soldiers there away from the north then blow the bridges and keep them engaged

But like, what are we supposed to do? Pretend this isn't happening? Construct a reality bubble for ourselves? Come on. Russia can still win, but today has been loss after loss.

You missed the most embarrassing thing they do all the time and I bet you don't know what it is.

SHUT THE FUCK UP LIBERASHKA, ZALUPA HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN YET, UNFORTUNATELY THE SMALLER VILLAGE ON OUTSKIRTS OF ZALUPA CALLED PIDZALUPNY TVOROZHETS HAS FALLEN INTO THE UKRAINIAN HANDS

what has changed about the strategic picture of ukraine vs russia? absolutely nothing. the relative size, artillery, etc. of the militaries are the same. peremogas do not have strategic relevance

Fuck Nazis. Heil Hitler.

> Be Rashit Army
> Need 5 months to capture some pro-Russia donbass village.
meanwhile, AFU successfully captures Balakliya in two days. and probably Izyum in one week

>/uhg/ troon infiltrator here still

we'll see in the coming days whether this will have any adequate reaction, but given ''we did it to spare civilians!111'' verbal diarrhea I'm not too hopeful

>Ukraine has confirmed that most of the country will freeze to death this winter due to no gas. A Ukrainian general also confirmed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have already died.
They're talking about civs not soldiers.
Honestly I have no idea what's gonna happen in winter.
I think putin and everyone with common sense are expecting western support to dry and zelensky being unable to feed his army and they're not taking seriously the possibility of war beyond winter.

This is true, but what makes things interesting is the fact that Hohols also possess this Eastern Slavic ability.

what has changed is that Ukrainians just took a 25000 city you absolute retard, and we're explaining the political and moral ramifications of that for three thread straight
what do you think they'll do to people there now?
what do you think the reaction will be of pro-Russian people in Ukraine?

god bless america

So assume Ukraine retake Izium, it will be very hard for Russia to take Slovanks right? They can even retake DNR territory.

You understand that posts like this just look like cope right? It's difficult to read them any other way.
