Expect the cheery posts about Russia losing to dry up when Russia wins ( when Trump stops it and Russia gets to keep what it has ).

Your hostity towards the Ukrainian defenders is truly nauseating.

Demagogue grifter Trump has already backed off from his obviously insane campaign promises.

Update:

We moved to the industrial area of the city in west side.. 

Sadly we are losing ground but still holding.

Lost 2 colombian and 5 ukranian in last 3 days in my squad. 

Orcs got the east side of the city with heavy loses. 

We are waiting for supplies and new soldiers to join us. 

Having close combat most of the time. 

Sadly i heard that many groups couldnt evacuated in the south and become POWs. Some groups evacuated safely.

We dont have arty support for the last few days.. but have drones. 

Their tanks cannot enter the city yet but lot of infantry inside.

The best of luck to you and your unit. It sounds really tough. I am sure you could all use a break from the front to get a rest and get cleaned up. Hope this can happen sometime soon.

Where do these strange media items come from saying that Putin wants all of Ukraine? They might have had some veracity at the start, but after two years and barely taking the east, it's IMO a nonsense to say that the plan is to take it all. It's just not logistically possible to do so, IMO.

 

I suspect the western propaganda mill is at work.

 

Ah....so you didn't bother watching the video then. He actually says that Putin does not want all of Ukraine.

He said that land is not what Putin wants .....but you would know that had you watched it.

An interesting video showing a Russian soldier poking through a pile of abandoned food, including rotten bread and tinned pickled cucumber soup. It was dumped a few kilometres from the front lines by Russian supply troops, who refused to take it any further because of Ukrainian drone attacks.  Meanwhile, as the soldier makes very clear, he, and his fellow frontline fighters, are going hungry.  While we mainly see the "glamorous" attacks, showing tanks and fighting vehicles being destroyed, the day to day destruction of simple supply trucks by these drones also has a big detrimental effect on Russian morale.  Given that the advances in the first days of the invasion petered out due to poor supply logistics, it would seem the Russians haven't learnt any lessons at all and still can't effectively keep their army supplied and fed.

Except they are winning in the east and hungry soldiers don't win anything.

I did a survival course and we did a week without food, and it was all I could do to get up and walk every day.

I suspect the vdo is relevant to a very small part of the war.

So you feel the need to comment on it without watching.

If you read my post I didn't comment on the VDO.

You actually might find it interesting since it mostly agrees with your viewpoint.
