I thought Ukraine was winning western media 😅😅😅
Its ok… in comedian mind is always telling the world his joke abt winning……
Kyiv has very big problems. And the issue is not even in the breakthrough of Russian troops in one place or another, but in the fact that the pressure on his front is going on immediately along its large length. First of all, due to the total superiority in fire weapons (artillery and aviation). This leads to large losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) personnel and a drop in morale among recruits (who are in the majority). As a result, the UAF has many deserters, and many strongholds (according to local officers) simply have no one to defend (instead of 10-15 people, there are often 4-6). And sometimes there is no one at all (when the entire garrison of the stronghold retreats, and there is simply no one to replace it).
This is where RAF progress here comes from. If we look at the points, there are battles for the spoil heap of the Selidovskaya mine, which RAF are bypassing from the north and south, taking in pincers. And yesterday there was simply the most powerful artillery and air preparation in the Tsukurino area. Today an assault on this settlement is possible.
And also, the assault on Gornyak continues. Slowly but surely RAF are moving forward here.
There are battles in the area of Ostroy (completely occupied by RAF) and colony No. 82 (which RAF also completely occupied by the evening), which poses a threat to the UAF garrison in the area of Maksimilianovka.
In this way, powerful pressure is created on the entire front, which, in combination with the flanking (mechanized) and penetrating actions of RAF assault aircraft (in small groups of 4-5 people), breaks the UAF’s defenses and forces him to surrender line after line.
News has been coming from the Ugledar direction since the morning – the Russian Armed Forces (RAF), after a long warm-up, have begun to envelop the Ugledar military agglomeration. Since the idea of taking the city head-on has apparently been rejected by RAF General Staff, a decision has been made to envelop the city and a large area behind it by routes to Bogoyavlenka . There are two directions: n. Prichistovka – Bogoyavlenka and Vodyanoye – Bogoyavlenka. This strategic move will give Syrsky's headquarters the opportunity and time to make their move before the small group in the city is surrounded. They cannot leave the city for the field, and staying in the city means death.
FAB arrival in Zaporozhye. An Energy Sector target was hit. There are Problems with the electricity in the city.
Vuhledar stormed from 3sides operationally encircling the city. "Vuhledar Is Done"
Just getting a seat before all the krembots rushes in to earn a ruble by spewing inane and hateful nonsense
Stop sugar coating your report by saying falling debris instead of saying direct hit
What did the Ukrainian NATO think they will get when they signed up to be the US’ and UK’s butchers to bleed the Russians, wasn’t that the job, who didn’t hear about!!!😢😢😢
residents dont run away in pokrovsk, according to zelensky ukraine is strong and winning in front lines..😂😂😂
Glenn Greenwald w/Lee Fang – NY Times Pro-War exposed
The Grayzone
Zelensky is pushing to strike Moscow
The western media must apologize to the public for all the lies 😢
What are we talking about here,I seriously thought the Russians were running out of everything,better not have been lying all this time😢
do you people really think we can pay off Mr P with silver and gold bars
Seems that those Pokrovsk residents don’t believe in Zelensky’s “victory plan”
What happened to Kursk experiment? Seems like it didn't succeed in pulling Russia troops from Pokrovsk to defend it
Kursk has been a disaster for Ukraine and the western media should cover it as such.
What about civilians in Kursk?
Explain why some people decide to stay in Pokrovsk. Before the war there was a substantial ethnic russian population. There were also executions of ethnic russians.
I thought Ukraine was winning 🤔
A victory plan is in the works. Just trust the Masters, sorry, the Partners!
In pokrovsk and all the other cities in iraq. Afghanistan, gaza and so on. People pls there is no good way to fight a war. Its only bad and worse
Zelensky is a comedian 😅😅😅😅
If you were not promoted the forceful remoubal of Yakunovick from power in 2014 . Nobody would have to die at all ,now millions of didplaced people . One million deaths and the high possibility of hundred of millions desapearing along with
Europe and North America from the face of Earth .
It is incredible that European leaders do not realize that the United States is fomenting this war because it is far from their territories. The Americans are supporting and sustaining this war because no American is on the front lines, and solely with the intention of weakening Russia's strength. While all this is happening, Europe's economy is becoming increasingly fragile, thousands of Ukrainians are being exterminated, and Ukraine no longer exists as a nation.
Same channel same expert ,same journalist said the Russian is loosing tge ground ,they running out of weapons, running out of man ,amo ,etc etc , those morrons got Ukrainian blood on there hand there lies ,propaganda destroyed a country thousands lives gone , day by day a country that size decimated to ashes economy depend on charities, no port airport ,half of population fled list goes on and on .
This war needs to stop!
What about the civilians in gaza ❤
There's a thing called spell check, it would help with 'resdients'
Russians are dismantled and know that since Russia is ruled by an Autocratic leader all media house in Russia is being monitored no news to talk bad of a country
Remember how Russia was wining in khakiv but later they were driven away so wait tables will turn to Russians in pokrosk
Evil UK and USA, see what you have done, seperated two brothers for your evil designs, the good lord should definetly teach you a lesson, Amen.
Already Ukraine has failed and finished. Rest of news is western propaganda.
