  1. The attacks have stalled sacrificing hundreds of elite ukrainian soldiers trying to take the same village (korenevo) for the past 5 days failing every time.

    While ukraine is doing their failed PR stunt in kursk, russia is capturing major towns like new york in ukraine in the last 24 hours.

    Ukraine is also close to losing pokrovsk which is a major logistics hub for the donbass front for ukraine. Losing pokrovsk also is a nightmare for ukraine because they will not have any defensive postitions (just open fields with no trenches).

    Ukraine has streched its thin numbers even thinner with the attack towards kursk, a last offensive battle of the bulge ww2 germany style. Their gamble of attacking kursk to divert and stall the russians in the south has not worked, looking at how they are still advancing there.

  2. My anonymous Starbucks sources in the Bay Area say that the Ukrainian plan is to drive on to Moscow, capture Putin and break him to justice

  3. The was the dumbest idea US ever had yet. Russia will crush it and then whoever stands left. Better stay home and fix the 35 trillion debt problem.

  4. It is not good to be ajournalist and funny of war at the same time,the whole world should know that American regime is putting the world into terrible situation!!!,Europe&Ukraine are equipments of American war with Russia!who is gaining?how can Europe use very expensive American gaz,?how Europe buy sophisticated weapons from America on loan e.g F16 and force to donate them to Ukraine for free!!,American regime just spread their propaganda using red/blood money from killing many people in African &Middle East.for good information, it is American incursion in kursk in Russia,don't deceive people!!!

  5. They won't be able to hold it for long. Meanwhile, they lost New York, Pokrovsk. Pokrovsk has a huge significance!

  6. Let me put this in perspective for you: Russia has 10,000,000 sq kilometers Ukraine hold 1,000 square kilometer of Russia. not even 1/10 of a percent. Meanwhile Russia controls 25 percent of Ukraine including Crimea. Its a symbolic PR stunt and can leave them vulnerable in them eastern Donbass. Adolf and Napoleon Tried to invade Russia. We all know what happened to them. The Clown-in-chief Zelensky is in over his head. Besides Russia aint doing to bad considering it's fighting 50 countries including Nato

  7. Does anyone find it amazing that the missions wasnt working and needed more$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, now all of a sudden near the election Ukraine is (advancing)? Wanna bet theyd start losing and need more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ if harris/walz get office. Why would harris change any policies when she has backed all the ones that have made your dollar of almost no value? Flip flops ok for feet , but not national leaders.

  8. The Fact that he Russian Soldiers are getting younger is a sign they are losing the War. Russia is never going to hold Donbas and Crimea. The Ukrainians are going to continue fighting until they win or lose.

  9. There are small amount of people live on this territories. The villages and small cities are evacuated . Men of this region will fight with bandits by hunting weapons. Brave people live in this region.

  10. Zelensky is a destroyer. What people have painstakingly built up is being destroyed. Energy lines like Nord Stream, dams, many bridges, air, rail and road infrastructure. This political clown must go quickly. The blood of hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainians is on his hands. He is addicted to power, fame and war.

  11. MILITARY VERIFIED- DEMOCRATS WILL ANNOUNCE MILITARY DRAFT IN FEBRUARY 2025 OF US CHILDREN 18-25 NOT ENROLLED IN COLLEGE FULL TIME. AS REPORTED ON ITELL INTEL ON YOUTUBE 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

  12. Звензек Радецки, Росийская Федерация в большом списке блондов и блэндов… Так что, как правило, росийцы, кто идет, выдали розказ самообойцы своими желтыми, як можно получить на мотоцикле , ach cężarowych? Дополнительная информация о желтых табличках с камуфляжными кулоидами. Кошмар был зачарован Владимиром Лениным. Я, как и я, смотрел телевизионную передачу в Москве, теперь готов к кламству. Для Ciebie to Prawda, 3 дня и конец специальной операции на Украине с большим успехом в Росийской Федерации. Wy Rosjanie naprawdę w to wierzycie, gdzie jest wasza głowa (???). А070

  13. They aren't reporting this is a push into a barely defended region in order to push the "We're winning guys! We just need a few billion more and we can finish this!" narrative..

  14. The best tactic Ukraine has so far is ambushing Russian equipment when it is traveling. The goal is to disable or capture more weapons than Russia can build or buy. This also makes it easier to capture soldiers with the least amount of harm. Remember; Russian soldiers are victims of Putin's madness too.

    Trying to break through fortified positions is costly to both opponents. When on the road, smaller drones can be used to damage vehicles just enough to disable them, with less chance of harming operators. Like the America Revolutionaries, Ukrainians must be craftier than the big bully.
