Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Easo]

Ehh, Russian numbers are too low, should be at least double. Adding in the deaths for the rebel forces, who each have few hundred killed (per both official and unnoficial sources) total number will be closer to 5k.
Ukraine is guaranteed to have lost over 10k (with the missile strikes on barracks and gathering places the most painful ones) and the disparity will only increase, as Russia is now targetting their artillery more and more - which is the main killer in war.

What was actually much more interesting was the Russia's announcement that they will be focusing on the Eastern Ukraine now - gotta do the minimal goal of "liberating" both rebel claimed regions - and that there were two plans, one for just Donbas and the second for whole Ukraine.
So a downgrade in aims, potentially.

P.S.
I give Shalcker 1-2 days until the next vacation.

We are striving to change that. Around next Sunday.

What's gonna happen then? I don't remember you having elections, or are there?

Provide one single credible source or admit you're lying.

I even posted a selfy from territorial defense unit in the school's gym a while back.
I also fail to see problem with that - there are no children in schools right now (duh...) and they need a place to gather, since barracks are being destroyed.

Europe could warm itself next winter by burning € bills and still not be close to what Shalcker is dreaming of.

Not the central and eastern part.

Subject to interpretation.

Not really, they started doing it on the second week.
We are not children here (I hope), it's one of the easiest and most effective propaganda tools - give food to hungry and scared people. Makes it much easier to control the local populace plus you can show that on TV for the world.

...had? Putin murdered 300 civilians in a theater there an hour ago. Why would you bomb civilians in a city that had fallen? Also, why would you bomb civilians?

MMOC needs an upvote/reaction system for posts. Haven't seen a more devastating Shillcker-slaying post for a while now!

[dextersmith]

Ah yeah cheering for the deaths and suffering of millions in Africa and the Middle East! clearly a true moral high ground.

But hey fuck Russia right?

It's tough to prioritize moral high ground when so many children and other civilians are being slaughtered. You're preaching moral high ground when you're endorsing an unprovoked illegal war and invasion? Where is your moral high ground or Russia's?

He's banned already for wishing violence on posters countering his genocide-defending posts. If you're lucky, he won't be around to reply to you any day, week, month or eternity soon.

[Shalcker]

Encirclement has failed so far, Ukraine forces counter attacked and took ground on the routes Russian troops were trying to push.

Name points so that we can track their status later.

[dextersmith]

You should blame Russia because the current situation is 100% their doing, you know. Threre wouldn't be a potential starvation if, you know, Russia didn't invade a sovereign and democratic country. Don't blame the bullied guy for refusing to die.

lol

Bully: Ouch! His face is hurting my fists!

What we absolutely do know is that there was pusback around western/north of Kiev and that for now encirclement of the city from that side is simply not happening. No matter what you say you cannot deny that.

That theater blast happened almost a week ago, if not more. There aren't that many theaters there.

Estimates are not based on any independently verified information as BBC article says; authorities making those claims fled the city.

Biden visiting troops in Poland. That Cancel Culture Pizza looks delicious compared to rations from 1978.




I also like the family style seating arrangement. Quite the contrast from Putler's dramatic long table.

I give Shalcker 1-2 days until the next vacation.

1-2 hours is more likely, the guy is raging hard, he's almost at CostinR levels.

Funny how he claims those are MoD numbers but doesn't share any links. Strange because unlike our turniplovers, I can still browse to Russian sites, he only has those. We have the www, he has the rww

I only said about Donbass forces being encircled; haven't seen any claims about Kiev routes being fully controlled.

Even around Kiev Ukrainian gains seem to be quite temporary though, and only one out of 5-8 "announced" counter-offensives seems to produce visible gains in last few days.

[Easo]

That landing ship is definitely gonna be written off. If I am to judge by the color it has fully burned out. Surprisingly - little damage on the port itself, especially the fuel storage:

Yeah, Russian MoD is claiming that. From Zvezda News telegram - https://t.me/zvezdanews/74408

Since I am reading pro-Russian sources then I can say that they believe in a bit less dead (again, due to missile strikes) and every equipment lost number should be divided by 2-3, read, basically what almost always should be done with claims in any war.
Plus the MoD's report counts ALL vehicles, even those not battle ready (broken down, in repairs, being modernized, etc.).

And the wobbling starts... Well, guess what - while the forces in Donbas have always been under the threat of encirclement even a month later Ukrainians are still managing to avoid it. There is very real chance it will turn into slow pushback until the river, without major collapse of the frontlines.

looks like Velyka Novosilka has been retaken in the south and somewhere around Petrivs'ke in the north have been cut off and driven the invaders back. cutting off the attempted encirclement. North of Kharkiv has also been taken back.

Russians are getting banged about round the northwest of Kyiv as well looks like Russians could get encircled.

Man, there are so many willing useful idiots around it's astounding. The brainworms in the western world need a good purging, does ivermectin work for this?

I've seen claims it was supposedly deliberately sunk to prevent ammunition explosion; but since we read similar Telegram channels you probably seen that.
No way to verify it of course.

Are they? I guess it's possible; either way their defeat seems like next priority target after Mariupol.

hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

[Mazza]

Unlike US, we're actually responsible for countries we conquer.

Cities captured by Russia get Russian humanitarian aid.

"Sorry we leveled your city, here is some food"? GTF out of here with that bullshit! On top of that Russian forces can barely keep their TROOPS supplied. How on earth do you expect us to believe that they can take care of any occupied civilians.

Well, it sure seems like the sanctions are hitting the right people, at least.

People are being slaughtered but this guy is absolutely terrified of not having a chauffeur and cleaning his own toilet.... billionaire struggling to pay bills ..... lol.

[Breccia]

Oh, so I guess it's okay then. Guys, it's okay, Shalcker said the 300 civilians died last week, so he doesn't have to explain anything about why Russia was bombing civilians. Which I asked him about. Twice. That's his response, you see it right there.

I've seen claims

Handwaved without a linked source. For all I know, you've only seen such claims because you're the one that made them.

hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

This is wild. "Haha, we are very smart because rather than letting our ship blow up, we deliberately sunk it! Great victory, tovarishch!"
