Putin who congratulated his defense minister on the capture this is positive for two reasons first it means the fighting will move away from donet and second by breaking into this area which the enemy has been fortifying since 2014 we will allow our troops to reach a much wider operational
Area located only 5 km west of donet marinka was heavily fortified by Ukrainian troops during the 2014 war in dbas yet following moscow’s claim of its capture a Ukrainian Army spokesperson said Monday fighting for the town was still ongoing Ukrainian forces also claimed to have shot down five Russian aircrafts on

Russia on Monday said its forces now fully controlled the town of Maryinka in eastern Ukraine, which President Vladimir Putin hailed as a “success” that would mean less shelling on the nearby Russian-held city of Donetsk. “Our assault units have today completely liberated the settlement of Maryinka,” Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told Putin in a meeting shown on state television.

Calling a victory over a dystopian landscape is not a win
20 months for a town of once 9000 people… it will take like 500 years to take the rest then.
What "town"?
Kiev will soon look like this and hopefully London, Paris,Berlin etc..too.
Its the land that matters . Society can be rebuit in few years .
Zelenskyy should pickup his little tin cup and go begging for aid from his handlers. It's really getting serious.
Russians are urban fighters, so you can't complete with us here.
They captured…a pile of rubble.
0:08 Must be scraping the bottom of the barrel if these whales are army material.
Seizes? Lol. They reduced it to a pile of rubble, and are sitting on the pile.
It's a fixer upper
That was like 10 months ago, they almost captured the town now
west is so delusional of truth
Z
They said the same every month, and then repeat, when it's probed to be untrue they will repeat next month.
2 brilliant and regal leaders of Ruzzian Imperial Horde.
WHAT TOWN????
Excepy they did not…
How can they say liberated, it’s a pile of smoking concrete
They had 8 years to fortify the positions + with western equipment and still lost to the russians with soviet era armor
Down with terroRussia!
Westernoids losing hard, you love to see it.
Donetsk Republic won
A tiny town after 2 years. So much for being the second largest army in the world.
Exposes the Rusian peace living model..
Small town after 2 years and ten thousands of casualties. Hmmm I guess that's a huge win for second largest army in the world
Do we believe them?
It's not the first time they announce this and frankly, where is the town?…
Maryinka liberated 💪🏻
Captured some pile or rubble after using thousands as cannon fodder and Ukrainians retreating gradually and temporarily while slaughtering the cannon fodder? 😭
You're late to the party: Marinka was effectually liberated two days ago. Or were you waiting for the Uki recognition? They still claim Soledar is under their control…..
But, but, awe “they don’t love us anymore”.
Taking over a desolate landscape! Some victory.
Non vi accorgete che questo è un canale gestito dagli Americani e Inglesi propagandistici. L'UCRAINA non esiste più.
💯
All businesses are closed it's a bad sign if you want to buy souvenirs !
Was fortified since 2014 by the west . Not anymore.
Liberates ☝🏻
