Soon.

Hanged Moskal

Tomorrow the paratroopers that took Gostomel airport will parade in Kiev.

Hanged Hohol

After the Russians left the airport? Yes, a glorious victory!

Hanged Moskal

They left like Moskva

Hanged Hohol

They left quietly in their armored vehicles, the APU entered an empty airport.

Butchered Banderite

When they’re particularly obnoxious, can we call them asshoholes?

Hanged Moskal

They left quietly in Heavens, followed by their generals. Except their bodies which were hanging from their “V” light armored vehicles.

Hanged Hohol

Hallucinations again?

Butchered Banderite

Jeez, you’re already on your 1000th Moskva post. Sounds pretty desperate to me.

jens holm

They were forced to leave. You seemes still not to understand modern Ukra defence warfare.

Hanged Hohol

I mean, the Russians were not defeated by the Ukrainian army, but quietly left.

Hanged Moskal

They quietly left forever. Their moms received some canned meat in exchange.

Hanged Hohol

Canned meat from the Ukrainian military that they sent to Ukrainian mothers.

jens holm

They were forced to.

They became isolated. Troops with no ammo, food, water and food and isolated from others retreat.

The perfect winning in defence warfare is not to fight but disconnect.

No more helicopters landed. There was no connection to land troops. Those were taxed hard by the Ukras and desorganized.

Pinching is kind of same thing. You try to isolate the hard parts of the enemy troops by cutting their connections. They almost always has to retreat but often loose a lot if they are not well prepared for it and fast.

You can bring in supply by helicopters, by parashutes or in the nighttime.

The military doctrines says, that unless its planned, its better to fight Yourself out even You loose a lot of equipment and soldiers.

As we see for the Ukras in East the Russians try to make a big and a small pinch. But the Ukras are very well prepared for that. Only Izium seemes to move in favout to the Russians.

But one is enough. Both will work harder there. The other three are stalemates.

FHTEX

It’s called “going gopher”, wait underground until Russian artillery shells entomb you.

jens holm

So funny. I looked up. More should do that. Wikki is perfect for it. It even has pictures of north american gophers.

ISIS are experts in this in the Homs desert. They sleep, drink tea, clean weapons and makes plans when the Russians bombarde them.

Never Forgive, Never Forget 2014

Modern Ukra defense warfare consists in sitting in a trench drunk and high, while doing selfies juggling live grenades.

For the really highly trained, it consists of sending cannon fodder conscripts into the front lines, while trying to read the manual and pinpoint artillery fire before the artillery scoots.

You are outmatched. This ain’t no hollywood movie. This ain’t no wishful thought. Never should have pissed off the bear by killing its cubs. Now piss in your pants in your trenches with your last breath. It’s a suitable end to your little fascist fifteen minutes of infamy.

No wonder people try to hide in trenches and drink too when they meet someone like You.

Hanged Hohol

At the same time, the DPR and LPR did not drink in their trenches.

Clyde

Nobody in their right mind wants to be in Kiev.

Hanged Moskal

No moskal wants to be in Kiev

https://youtu.be/5VRli1Ybah4

Clyde

Ukrotards don’t even want to be in Kiev. That’s why the country has been hemorrhaging people for two decades. The dream of any non-Banderpite, non-retarded Ukrainian, is to get out of the failed Ukrainian CIA project.

Hanged Hohol

This is not Kiev.

jens holm

I heard there are wheels on their coffins. They partly was mechanized.

Right on

Will they be joined by the Ghost of Kiev and Ukraine’s other fantasy heroes of the day?

Hanged Moskal

Ghost of Moskva and Russian Federation

Hanged Hohol

This is the wrong answer. The correct answer is they will join.

Dummy Perez

I see you have nothing else to do with your time? 🤡🤡🤡

Yes !! 347 Ukro-Nazis went to see Bandera today. If in doubt, ask Wali the Canadian Super Sniper who is in Toronto after escaping

It could probably be done on a weekly to bi-weekly frequency.

You missed some detail though. I’m not even talking about comparison to “”last two months” but last week. They are advancing toward Lyman, expanding around Izium to encircle the mountain peak next to dolyna. I think the smell of burnt orcranians must be strong in some of these areas of the front.

The time-frame required to roll up the twenty-km of fortifications built by the Ukrotards with their NATO owners in the last eight years will be the determinant of the tempo. Every day more Ukrotards go to meet Bandera, and those remaining get to count the days until it’s their turn to join the great OUN in the sky.

jens holm

So they are rewarded with a place with no Russians. Not bad. After all God has mercy and maybee a mercedes benz too.

God has solved the energy problems by solar power. .

Ethnic Cleansing Update

Orcrainians’ Operation Storm 2.0 turned into Operation Sprinkles and NATO is puzzled why it piddled. Still. orcrainians managed to kill a few old folks, not as many as in Ver. 1.0 but hey, the survivors can still brag to momma back home.

Clyde

It certainly has not gone the same way that the original US Operation Storm when their Croatian proxies ethnically cleansed the Krajina. Beginner’s luck?

mistiick

If you only watch map then yes. But understanding the battlefield shows some fun details. Popasnaya was a fortress town and with it captured defensive line was breached there. Only other fortress towns of same or similar importance are Avdiievka and Marinka. Things can start moving faster after certain tresholds.

Joseph Day

And with the fall of popansnaya, would be a good time to get out of severodonesk, or be encircled

B A

donetsk is not orcranian anymore!!

i glanced at the map some more. They are now almost literally at the doorstep of severodonetsk. together with the other advances that is good progress.

I think a good softening up by TOS and air power does a lot of good. It is a good complement to mortars with a farther reach. As well as drones and also tanks with specialized tools suited for these dug in trenches.

Good but not satisfactory. The advance is too slow and cost in terms of manpower and equipment. If advance is too slow in a war means a failure b cause you give your opponent time to regroup and resuply. Yes ! this is a big war for rus since WW II and could be are still learning😥😥

No, it means that there is an unprecedented operation by the US and vassals to keep the military capacity of the failed Ukrainian CIA project intact for as long as possible while the Ukrainians hide in their fortifications, launching minor suicide attacks every now and again.

jens holm

There we go again. Ypu not even understand they hide themself well against missiles and artillery and therefore can fight back.

Also read Urio again.

Ukras by that also has time to prepare the next defence strongpoints better.

Clyde

They can’t fight back. They just wait to be rolled up. It’s a time-consuming process, but a process devoid of any form of counterattack by the armed forces of the failed Ukrainian CIA project.

jens holm

Mainly its not like that.

Антон

“The advance is too slow and cost in terms of manpower and equipment.”

Faster speed = more victims. Now resistance is being destroyed with artillery and air strikes. If reconnaissance spots some survivors, they should await new round of strikes. Then ground troops take a land. You can call it slow, but every day hundreds of ukros teleports to hell to Bandera with loss rate 10:1 and more. The end of the Don group of Kiev regime will be the end of their regular army. Even one million recruits with no officers, without tanks, APCs, and IFVs, war planes etc is just a cannon fodder. 1-2 cruise missiles to barracks kills 1 company of nazis as it was in Yavorov where they lost ~250 people, many wounded and even more demoralized among mercenaries. We have several thousands of such missiles + ballistic ones for “Iskander”. Why not use them for destroying the most fortified region from afar with minimal losses?

Urio

Yes i agree but we see strikes for days without taking a ground. In a war that is nonsense. What you say is ok but must be done in speed.

jens holm

Thats Right. Thats why the Ukras gets similar or better long distance equipment.

jens holm

The Ukras grow potatoes just behind their frontzone, Thats why they deny to do advances

Ukraine ha no lack of soldiers. Many of the reserves are second class like most of the Russians.

They might need soldiers for the advanced stuff. It seemes the Ukras has changed. Thye now do like to learn.

Clyde

Anders Brevik II, there is no evidence to support your assertions about the Ukrainians, Those who can, flee the country, like they have for years and years.

Putin bitches tears taste like heaven

Phase two!! Phase two!! 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤡

Clyde

Phase whatever, thousands of square km of territory lost to the failed Ukrainian CIA project, millions of refugees, tens of thousands of dead Ukrainian servicemen, missiles raining down across the territory, a traumatized population, unfathomable debt loads. But you’re doing a great job with the emojis.

Michigan Man

Maybe the real Anders Bering Brevik will soon be released from prison, in order to kill russians in Ukraine. He killed commies camouflaged as ‘social-democrats’ in Skandinavia, he is good in waepons and explosives. Me, I would release him immediately and allow him to lead a skandinavian foreign legion in Ukraine, to fight the ruskie invaders there. Why waste money on prison guards and all that, when you can free him, and watch him doing great things ? More men of his determination and whole Europe would long be free of satanist illuminati and communist infiltrators and politicians.

No lack of soldiers and as of late, the dead Ukros are pensioners and adolescents = Volkstum a la 1945. They were allowed 10 rounds for their whole trainning you Shit Head.

Assad Defeated Zionists

Just wait another week or saw. Once those American, Canadian and German howitzers arrive to the front Ruskie conscripts will fold like dominoes, and there will be plenty more Ruskie generals roasted extra crispy.

opereta

The Howitzers are utterly destroyed Imbecile !! And Ukraine needed 3.000 and not 100 you Moron. Transport by road takes fuel and bridges. The US can’t supply neither.

Michigan Man

Yes, and as known US military together with Ukraine government is planning for large counter-offensive in July-August of this year. Which will include swarms of drones and several thousand pieces of artillery. Full use of white-phosphorous ammunition guaranteed. There are currently several very large US military convoys reported going through Germany, each one more than 20 km long. So the US is really taking off the gloves now and pulling out the the big stick. And one can be sure that also low-level neutron bombs and thermobarics plus the good old MAOB (which US used in Iraq and Afghanistan) will be seen in action during that offensive.

So all the small gains the russians after horrific losses in material and men have made, will be rolled back and large parts of Donbass same as southern regions including Kherson and Mariupol will be re-taken. And Putin knows that.

His only chance now is to eighter withdraw before the counter-offensive starts, or go full World War 3. Also I have heard that Germany might hand over half a dozen of its newest classes of Submarines to Ukraine, so that these submarines can hunt down russian ships in international waters, and maybe turkey will be so nice to let them slip into the black see. Which will mean the end of the russian Black sea fleet. And of course no re-supplying or ammunition to the russian forcres in Latakia Syria anymore.

By July also the trainings-programms on NATO weapons of several hundred thousands of new ukrainian servicemen within US bases and Blackwater in Germany and Poland will be completed by the recruits. https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-05-02-usa-nato-gearing-up-for-counterattack-against-russian-forces-in-july-or-august.html

And if Ukrainians are clever, they will secure and save their oil depots, ammunition depots, ukrainian training-camps, airfield hangars etc. by putting at least 2 dozens of russian prisoners of war at them. So each time asshole Putin orders these facilities being destroyed by supersonic or regular missile-strike, this dumbass will supersonically destroy his own russian orc-poopers.

Afterwards of course ukrainians and western media should release the photos and scenes of the aftermath and the russian prisoners body-parts and identification cards, showing the russians what Mr. Putin had done, so that all the russian mothers can watch on TV and internet the dead and dismembered bodies of their sons, which had already being taken prisoner, and were on road to survive Putin’s stupid war, but then were killed as dumbass Putin decided it was good idea to deliberatly shoot large missiles into little Ukraine and massacre his own helpless poor russian slave soldiers there.

That will have large impact on the russian military strategy as every time they shoot missiles they will be fucking themselves in the ass reall hard, and will therefore be forced to be a man, and go in on foot and do the man to man fight, instead of being able to cowardly fight this war from the distance.And as we could see in Mariupol, even with the Ukrainians being full encircled and without re-supplyment, russian forces are not able to win a direct face-to face fight – so that even today Mariupol isn t conquered.

Michiganman, that is the point of wieuw of the Mossad The Mossad do like you say.

James

They are about 50 km from Kramatorsk from the north and 80 km from the east. Once Kramatorsk falls, and it will, Dnipro will follow, then Odessa. That will be about one-third of Ukraine gone forever. Remember, that territory is never coming back, ever.

Still fighting in Rubizhne? That village was taken weeks ago by the LPR or wasn’t it?

This war is fucking retarded. By engaging with Ukraine you made the east the west’s problem with all these refugees. As a Nationalist of my country I can say that their coming here like the fucking plague and their given priority over my own people, houses are being revamped and B&B,s and hotels made available for them on top of being given, let’s say, social security numbers, and a sum of money while many of my own are homeless on the streets, something that could of been remedied had my government had done what they are now doing for the fucking Ukrainians. Try to put up a ruckus and they play the race card and discrimination. What the fuck does your country want with that shithole? And don’t say because their nazis or some shit. And why do you drive them westward?

Their going to up the crime rate in my country and change the social environment of my culture in time. People here at the moment are looking at the short term, not the long, not the big picture. Their just, ohh let’s help the Ukrainians, if they need the clothes off our backs give them, want free bjs, sure let’s line the local women up for a free suck. I want my current government ousted and new one elected who see things my way, and that of other nationalists and then we can begin deporting these soon to be leaches back to the east.

Michigan Man

I fully agree with your comment. Apart from one single, but important point. You wrote: ” ….. and new one elected who see things my way, and….”.

There’s the error ! No, not elected ! The whole so-called democracy thing is a scam. All our current so-called western governments are not ours, they are jewish ! It is jews behind it all. That’s why they keep acting against us and our interests. That’s why they do this whole multi-culti open-border stuff, pumping milions of foreigners from everywhere into our countries. They want to erase us as a people and race.

Therefore FORGET ELECTIONS !!! So-called democratic elections are nothing but a big jewish fraud. Look at the US , look at Europe it’s jewish initiated fraud. No my friend, if we want things to change we ourselves need to stand up, take up weapons and oust and kill the government, all the traitors, the so-called politicians, and their collaborateurs. We will likely have heavy losses in the process but if we really want to change things that’s the price. It is same as in Afganistan. The Taliban fought the US forces hardcore, with suicide-attacks, ambushes and everything. And that we too need to do. We need to fight and likely die and sacrifice ourselves, in the name of God and our people, to free our country from the satanic jews, their collaborateurs and all their corrupt stooges. That’s our holy duty, that’s the real holy war. And if we, before it starts could manage to wake up also the muslims, and make it clear to them that they need to wage that holy war side by side with us – resp. god-fearing christians and god-fearing muslims fighting the eternal disgusting satanic children of the devil, resp. the jews , then that will be the holy moment, this whole world will really start to change for the better.

Then they would be your countries problem, you started, it’s only right you take responsibility for your dumbass actions.

Justaguy

Sound to me like it’s your dumbass country that is inviting them in (how about enforcing your borders?), and encouraging this to last longer than it might if there was no such encouragement and support. I would wage if everyone had to stay in UA and fight or stay and put pressure their own government to come to it’s senses and end this, but instead they flee to suck off the labor and milk of your country.

technikalf

You are right, on this map with 1: couple of millions ratio you can´t see as much, but in reality make Russia, DPR and LNR big progress on daily basis.
