Russia takes Vuhledar: Eastern town strategic for artillery positions

After months of intense fighting, Russia has captured the strategic town of Vuhledar in Eastern Ukraine. Vuhledar’s high-ground position offers a crucial advantage for Russian artillery operations. The town, located in the Donetsk region, was fiercely defended by Ukrainian forces for over two years. However, Ukraine made the tactical decision to retreat in order to reduce casualties.

  1. Russia is winning in Ukraine, good thing for Russia that War in the Middle East is taking some attention and pressure away from Russo- Ukrainian War

  4. Unfortunately, and the fire of lying does not change the reality on the ground, there is no point in giving the floor to Oluchrinian spokespersons who have no other objective than to dramatize the fact on the ground.

  5. I think the next game changer would have to see Boris Johnson, Biden, Hodges, Petreus, Bearbok, Von De Leyen, Macron, Scholz, Tusk, Starmer, Zelensky, Stoltenberg, Graham and their kids on the frontline.

  10. It took Russia 2 years to take a tiny village after countless casualties and embarrassments at the hand of a country with 1/4th the population and much smaller. Ukraine land mass is 3.5% of Russia and Russia fans calling this the victory of all victories after losing half a million casualties in a war that should have been won by Russia in less than a week!

  15. Last month we were told that the Ukrainians were already half way to Kursk and will be in Moscow before Christmas

  21. so Russia continues with its invasion and destruction of a sovereign country of Ukraine, and then the clown at the UN along with Mr Lavrov talks about Israel’s actions in Lebanon against Hezbollah (yet the two conflicts are miles apart in terms of what and why) …

  23. Two juice leader competing who can beg more money from christian countrys(they cleary hate christian more than anyone but love their money and support )

  30. It’s always the same with the media. They say very single small town will be the turning point for russia but the front have been fairly stagnant for the past 2 years

  32. All these wars are planned, wanted and carried out by men. Ask mothers what they think…ah no! I forgot! Fascism does not ask mothers.

  33. So what is Kamala’s plan? Continue successful Biden policies? Policies of slow and painful defeat?

  36. Zelensky last hope to defeat the Russian is long range missiles supply from West. The most ridiculous is the Zelensky's sense of understanding the reality of war. The West has supplied all kind of wonder weapons to Zelensky regime but all failed. Now he is fooling around the long range missiles to keep his hope alive. I am sorry to say but reality is that nothing can stop the Russian from advancing toward West. The sooner he ( Zelensky) understand the reality better for the Ukraine.

  39. God ☦️ bless President Putin, and the Russian Federation. Victory to Russia over the Satanic West. Yes to Traditional Family Values, no to LGBT Propaganda which destroys people body and soul.
    Слава Теве Вожи ☦️ Амин

  41. Most people are unaware that the Ukrainian government was bombing Donetsk, Lugansk and Donbass for 8 years straight before putin had enough. Human rights watch has it reported.
