Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025

[bannork]

Mobile internet services in Moscow were significantly disrupted on Monday, just as military aircraft flew over the city in rehearsal for the upcoming Victory Day parade. According to HotNews.ro, Russian authorities warned citizens that similar outages could continue throughout the week due to heightened security measures.

The disruptions, affecting Russia’s largest telecom providers and other online services, coincided with early morning flyovers conducted in preparation for the May 9 celebrations—a politically important holiday marking the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.

Putin will be recognized as the Hitler and the Russian people will be recognized as standing by & doing absolutely nothing as they watched him wreak havoc on the world - under their name (The Russians did it). They will not be trusted anywhere on this planet for decades. They cannot wash their hands of his destroying, maiming, raping & killing a million innocent men, women, children & elderly on both sides as well as leaving them homeless. The Russian people are as guilty as Putin and it will take decades for them to cleanse the world of the Russian Stereotype they are creating by standing by & doing absolutely nothing to fix it. Compare that to the American people who (against all odds) stood up to our government to bring an end to an un-justified Viet Nam war.

Do you know what we celebrate on May 9? We celebrate the advent of a great era of peace that lasted for decades. Before May 9, 1945, men went to war in their millions every 30-40 years. And after the end of World War II, an era of peace was established. This peace was based on the fact that only two powers in the world were allowed to accumulate strategic stockpiles of nuclear weapons and they were neutralized by mutual targeting and fear of mutual destruction.
It was the happiest era in the life of mankind because billions of men enjoyed life and did not go to war to die.
If this era does not return, then every second of you will die for the ambitions of your politicians - either in the war for Mexico or in the war for Greenland.
Today, by supporting the sweet wet dreams of leaders like Putin and Kim about the restoration of the USSR, you are taking a step towards peace. And this means that you will not die in some endless war of ambitions of some politician, but will live a happy and long life. 
Let's celebrate May 9th together. Don't forget to hang portraits of Putin and Kim on your wall. This is our step towards peace in Ukraine war.

I gotta give it to you comrade.

You're a master satirist.

Vladimir Putin has reportedly been forced to cancel the upcoming Victory Day parade in Crimea, just days after a Ukrainian sea drone destroyed a Russian fighter jet worth €41 million.

The celebration was scheduled to take place on May 9 in the city of Sevastopol, but it has now been called off due to security concerns, according to Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-installed governor of the annexed region, as reported by the Kyiv Independent.

Throughout the war, Kyiv has dealt significant blows to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, prompting Moscow to withdraw much of its naval presence from the region.

Details emerging of Ukraine's Sidewinder-armed drone boat that shot down a SU-30. A reminder that when the USSR fell apart under the weight of its own oppression, the brains behind Soviet defence lay in Ukraine.

Do you know why the Chinese leader came to Moscow? He came to show support for the results of World War II. If you are against the results of World War II, then you are for World War III - during which people in military uniforms will most likely knock on your door.

Now it is far time to remember who owns Ukraine as the result of World War II. Z guys enjoy reminding it every 9th of May.

Now it is far time to remember whose Ukraine is based on the results of World War II. Z guys enjoy reminding it every 9th of May.

What  your dictator hero Putin has done is to rewrite history of WW2 to dishonestly link it to his genocidal war of choice on Ukraine. There are two completely different wars. In this war, Putin is on the side of barbaric aggression. In WW2 Russia was with the allies in defending itself against the genocidal Nazis.

As far as Xi, yes of course China was an enemy of axis member Japan so in that simple minded sense it makes sense to commenarate the WW2 victory.

But yet again, the Putin Z fascist propaganda line to link their role in WW2 to their role against Ukraine is a MASSIVE LIE.

China is finding commercial benefits now allying with Russia but it's obvious that China is all about their own self interest and if Russia is weakened they're not above aggressive actions in lands now in Russian hands.

I get it. You're pushing Putin propaganda here. You have that right but it's all lies.

You are either for the results of the Second World War or against. It's really that simple. I'm not trying to persuade you to give any answer and I'm not advocating any of the decisions. Although you know that as a Z guy I'm for the results of the Second World War.

Not clever, comrade.

A sleazy when did you stop beating your wife kind of ultimatum.

It's garbage and I pity you if you're not bright enough to know it.

Of course it's a good thing that the allies won in WW2 which of course included Russia.

Of course it would also be a good thing for Russia and their disgusting allies North Korea and Iran to LOSE this current war.

DUH!

Again the Russian parade is Putin propaganda show to link Russia's role in WW2 to Russia's role against Ukraine.

I'm aware that the majority of the Russian people have been sucked into buying that big lie.

But he's trying to sell it to the world and his brainwashing efforts in that regard are much more mixed.

I'll give you a little hint here. Although Ukraine belongs to the USSR as a result of World War II, and Russia in the UN is the USSR with a different name, officially Russia and the Russian Foreign Ministry recognize Ukraine as an independent state - so there is no contradiction with the results of World War II.

Try on your B.S. lies with people don't know better.

Putin's clear goal is to completely erase Ukraine as a sovereign nation.

Sure.
But there are Putin's dreams and there is a balance of power. Russia lost the Cold War. This loss has not been cancelled and it still works perfectly on the US side, preventing Putin from realizing his dreams in Ukraine. Although I am sure that you have not been told how Russia's loss in the Cold War works.

More B.S.

If the US exits and Europe fails to unite with enough help quickly enough, Ukraine remains at risk for total control by Russia.

It doesn't need to be literal full occupation.

A puppet government and murder and persecution of sticky Ukrainian nationalists would suffice.

[bannork]

The Ukrainian-affiliated Atesh partisan group has claimed responsibility for sabotaging military communications infrastructure in Russia’s Moscow Oblast on the eve of the country’s Victory Day celebrations.

In a statement posted to Telegram, the group said it carried out a sabotage operation in the village of Mogiltsy, approximately 45 kilometers northeast of Moscow, by destroying equipment at a local transformer substation which supported both electrical and telecommunications services for several Russian military facilities in the area.

The attack allegedly disrupted communications at multiple military units, including the 629th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment (Unit 51857), the 21st Separate Operational Purpose Brigade (Unit 3641), and military units 20007, 03523, and 51084.

In addition to the military means of influencing the situation, the United States has what I call the rudder pedals obtained as a trophy of victory in the Cold War.

Since 1991, all Russian big business has been under the jurisdiction of Western countries. Therefore, at any moment, you can squeeze the balls of Russian oligarchs with the help of sanctions and let them go only if they get certain actions from Putin. Lately, a lot has been written about the fact that certain sanctions are being introduced or lifted.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/03/trump-treasury-sanctions-putin-russia-rotenberg-ukraine.html

How does it work? In 2022, Putin slowly encircled Kyiv. Then the Russian oligarchs experienced a lot of problems due to sanctions. Then the oligarch Obramovich organized a meeting in a NATO country after which Putin quickly retreated thousands of kilometers.

Crazy conspiracy theory. I'm so not surprised.

A good way to cover up the fact that Putin failed to take Kiev. Period.

I didn't know that the fact that sanctions are working is a conspiracy theory justifying Putin. Thanks for explaining.

Everyone here claiming there isn't any corruption in Ukraine, well now even Zeleksey himself saying 100 billion vanished.

Its from an AP report. If you want to find the original source.

A very bold claim, especially since I don't even remember the subject of corruption ever coming up on this thread all the time I've been following it. 

 

Besides, Russia fares a lot worse in the Premier League of corruption tables... 

 

https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/corruption-rank?continent=europe

 

Maybe it was just an attempt to change the subject? 

 

Today is potentially the day we see Putin on live TV screaming like a girl and running for cover. 

 

What a sight to behold that would be.
