The first half of the week in the east of Ukraine was marked by further advances of forces of Russia, DPR and LPR in the region of Donbass.
The most active military developments are taking place around Izum in the south of Kharkiv Region, in the area of the Seveorodnetsk-Lysichansk agglomeration in the Luhansk Region and in the eastern countryside of Donetsk city in the Donetsk Region.
In Kharkiv, Russian units have mostly finished the regrouping around the provincial capital establishing fortified positions in its countryside. According to reports, regrouping was ongoing amid limited direct clashes with Kyiv’s forces. Most of the fighting there has been taking place in the format of artillery duels. The general situation in the countryside of Kharkiv could be described as prolonged positional battles.
Meanwhile, intense fighting caused by the active offensive operations of the Russian Armed Forces is ongoing in the area south of Izum. Russian ground units are advancing towards the Barvenkovo-Slavyansk highway amid intense artillery and air strikes on positions of Kyiv’s forces.
Clashes have been ongoing in the entire area around Izum. In particular, as of May 10, Russian troops took control of Bolshaya Kamyshevakha, and engaged Kyiv’s units in a new round of clashes around Novaya Dmitrovka.
The Kyiv government had to involve its free forces in an attempt to contain the Russian advance there and thus took a hit in another sector of the area of operations. On May 7, Russian-led forces took control of the key area of Popasnaya. As of May 10, the Russian military created a threat of encirclement of the entire grouping of Kyiv’s forces in the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk area.
Positions of Kyiv’s troops in Zolotoe already found themselves almost cut off from their counterparts in Bahmut and Slavyansk. Now, Russian units and people’s militia of the Donbass have been developing an advance from the area of Popasnaya.
Likely, the Kyiv government will try to leave a part of the grouping remaining in the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk sector as cover for its withdrawing troops. Therefore, the town of Bahmut will become the next key strongpoint of Kyiv’s troops.
As to Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, the Kyiv leadership will encourage radical formations to take civilians there as hostages in an attempt to repeat the Mariupol scenario. Thus, Russian forces will once again need to carry out a complex operation to rescue civilians in urban conditions amid intense fighting.
The the north of Donetsk, in the Avdiivka district, DPR units and Russian troops took control of Novoselovka, Verhnetoreckoe, Novobahmutovka and blocked Avdiivka from the northeastern direction. Nonetheless, Kyiv’s forces are still able to keep control of Avdiivka itself using well-fortified positions there. This sector will fall with the fall of the rest of Kyiv’s defense to the north of it.
In the area of Mariinka, to the southwest of Donetsk, positional battles are ongoing and the frontline remains stable.
In the Ugledar region, the advancing grouping of Russian and DPR forces achieved a tactical breakthrough encircling Ugledar from the eastern flank. Now, the fate of this town is predetermined and it will likely be liberated when the Russians intensify operations in the sector to the west of Donetsk.
The frontline remains stable in the directions of Gulyai-Pole, Zaporozhye, as well as near Krivoy Rog and Nikolaev.
In Mariupol, the garrison of Kyiv’s forces that hides in the Azovstal plant and mostly consists of radicals are about to meet its long-expected fate. The lack of resources and Russian advances already forced the radicals to release a large number of civilians that were hostages.
As developments of the recent days demonstrate, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have been successfully using their advantage in fire power to eliminate manpower and equipment of Kyiv’s forces in the region of Donbass. In its own turn, pro-Kyiv troops are in fact locked in their fortified positions in the region and are unable to organize a fast and successful regrouping and withdrawal under the conditions of the Russian advantages in firepower and air power.
How big will the final chunk of territory be that is removed from the authority of the Kiev Klown Kabal west of Kramatorsk?
Won’t matter to the sub human uKRAPitrash slugs — as they’ll never live to see it !
I LOVE THE SMELL OF BURNT UKRAINIAN IN THE MORNING !
Go and jump. Brainless cockroaches
nice roach Tillie has brain?
try brewing quality arabica coffee in the morning; much better than burnt orcranian.
I’m on the Russian side, I think they are absolutely right and justified in starting this war but talking this way about ”the smell of burnt Ukrainian” is barbaric, inhumane, wrong. Sorry, but not even the Russian soldiers think this way. Ok, there are cruel, racist extremists out there, like Azov and the rest, who should get their rightful punishment but hating Ukrainians in general is out of place. Most of them are normal people who are suffering because their rulers (most of whom are Jews, by the way) pushed them in this horrible war.
My Russian wife’s mother is half Ukrainian, for many Russians they see it as brother fighting brother. The tragedy for Ukraine is a lesson for us all, when institutions breakdown and corruption runs freely, these whores will sell their mothers and they have, they given up their souls to the American devils. All those creatures that were hiding under the stones have surfaced and are the cause of misery for ordinary Ukrainians. Russian cleansing will clean the parts it can save, the west of Kyiv will become a cesspool for all Russian haters, they will not evolve, they will become Europe’s Afghanistan.
It is the war of the Bidens and when they fall the slaughter ends.
Indeed. Will we ever know what promises the Ukrainian oligarchy received from the USA-Nato in return for turning UA into a killing field.
Lighten up gentle sir, it’s just jesting around a little bit with some recreational trolling, and is actually a reference to some Vietnam movie where some american grunt’s memorable line in screenplay is a sarcastic “I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.”
How about burnt AshkeNazis?
Don’t be an asshole.
Bit off track, have a watch of this and pass it around please = https://brandnewtube.com/watch/d3as8acFsnJT3OW
How many inches Russians have advanced in the last week?
Certainly more than the length of your tiny little sub human uKRAPian dick.
Okay, so they are advancing a dick length each week. That’s really fast and impressive.
Keep trying to down play everything that’s happening you fragile no lifer troll. We are all laughing at you.
No, you did not understand him. He clearly meant that only Ukrainians advance by a dick length every day. Into their comrades’ buttocks, of course. That is why they were naked, after all.
Everyone who does not have their grey cerebral matter supplanted by brown faecal matter would easily understand it.
Condolences on your being the rare brown exception, though.
Begone softcock!
More than your 2″ pencil dick thats for sure
2 inches per week. That’s fast.
more than your shribbled up tic tac,to say the very least.
On the above map about 1/10th which is about all that is needed as these little bits are covered in the remains of the UAF A few more battles and it will break their backs. That simple. The loss at Popasnaya and now Uglidar will go, they will be encircled and already are to the point little gets in or out. Just meat grinding now and the Russians like it that way. They are fighting their war now.
It’s slow going when you have to dig so many graves for the dead, the enemy just leaves behind.
They leave the dead bodies to leave the ukrainian families with ‘missing in action’, therefore unable these families to grieve the dead and overall in order not to pay the families for the ‘dead heroes’. That is the ukrainian way, canon folder for the fools and billions of dollars for the corrupted. Slava corrupted puppy mafia state of Ukraine.
Mafia/crypto, same thing.
How many US-Ukrinazi troops have died to hold ground that is untenable? Instead of chasing Will ‘o the Wisps the Russians are repeating Gorlice-Tarnow (1915).
Irrelevant. How many Ukraine’s have been minced in the grinder?
go back to playing final fantasy, little boy
Two.
Much less than the miles the Ukro-Nazis retreated !! Can’t go fast if you are burying the corpses of Ukrainians left in the field by th Ukro-Nazis
Its a huge territory…Lugansk has more than double of Size of Kosovo…
lots,inches,meters,miles,villages,towns even cities,drrr

Russians troops retreat in order to prepare the next offensive! Where is Gerasimov?
Actually they pull back from Kharkiv and the only way the UAF can ever take ground is when it is given up. They take nothing by force. The Russians were smart in their tactics they can not lay siege to that city with the man power they have. They left an area they now know very well and all intersections cross roads hills etc are pre sighted for their guns they fall back to draw out the UAF and they they destroy them refusing to fight in the city. For once a sound and wise tactic you are too ignorant to see this which is what the UAF was. Until they were decimated trying to take more ground that was defended. They have many defensive lines that will need to be taken but they are no a mobile fighting force they are now simply dug in and await the Russians arrival.
Gerasimov is busy taking back Popasnaya and Uglidar and taking two more towns near Izyum as well as moving forces to the flanks of Sevrodonetsk . If you wish to find hi you may need to go to the battlefield. Good luck.
U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said Tuesday that Putin will not end the war with the Donbas campaign and is determined to build a land bridge to Russian-controlled territory in Moldova.
U.S. intelligence also views it as increasingly likely that Putin will mobilize his entire country, including ordering martial law, and is counting on his perseverance to wear down Western support for Ukraine.
If there is a God, Avril Haines will develop rectal, cervical, oesophageal and oral cancer today. What kind of asshole quotes an Obama CIA clown?
national intelligence = corrupted terrorits !!! a clown show for lgbts gay nazis abortations !!
As soon as I read ” US intelligence ” I knew it was a troll
US and intelligence, should never be in the same sentence.
Yes this is what Russia will do! (sarcastic) Unfortunate they will not. They use 120k men in the fight of the 200k they have sent and nothing more. Why? Nobody knows but right now 200k Russians are fucking up the place. They did point out they have around 4 million men in the Army Guard and ready reserves so if they need them they can call them up, if the four million is required? They seem to think they are ok with what they have. If 200k are doing this Europe had best pray they do not send 4 million. They would be truly fucked.
these people don’t have any credibility whatsoever, sorry guys sometimes I fell like a britard
And your point is? Like how is this a bad thing?
The first bit, yes, of course. Transdniestria needs to be connected with Russia. They are isolated but have large stores in weapons and ammunition. It must not fall into the hands of NATO. From the start military analysts said that Russia will take the ‘Ukrainian’ coastline and link up with Transdniestria. That’s old news. Now, ordering martial law etc. … that’s talk. Anyway, most of the world will laps back into martial law by autumn, likely, only it will be called ‘corona mandates’ or ‘climate mandates’ or the like. Same shit.
I believe hetero putin,certainly not the like of you wishfull sodomite stinktank! Speak for your junta,far more likely outcome,infact it started ukr mantdatory drafting too!
Russia leads the developed world with the worst sanitation record, according to the London-based WaterAid NGO. Of the 22.6% of households without a centralized sewage system, 16.8% use a system of pipes connected to pit toilets, RBC cited the State Statistics Service, Rosstat, as saying. The other 5.8% lack a sewage system altogether.
Yes and according to the London-based Shit Porn NGO 99% of videos made of people eating shit or wearing shit being shit on in some sort of crazy sexual fetish porn are made in Western Europe!
what your point? Russians shit it pit toilets ? While europeans shit on each other? I dont quite get where you are going nor your fascination with shit an odd fetish …..
Flush hard. It’s a long way to Kiev.
Russia takes the climate threat seriously and lives more in harmony with nature.
Really?
”Doctored Data, Not U.S. Temperatures, Set a Record This Year by James Taylor” .. and.. ”EconLog. 1.6%, Not 97%, Agree that Humans are the Main Cause of Global Warming. By David Henderson”.. and.. ”The UK Telegraph in their ClimateGate Series exposed the U of East Anglia Climate Scientists, who were tasked with supplying the UN’s IPCC with temperature data.. for having deliberately placed thermometers on rooftops next to hot air con outlets, on black tarmac car parks, in city centers and supplied many readings from Russian locations with NO thermometers”.
There are 3 basic climate science principles: -1) Climate science is in it’s absolute infancy.-2)The climate is so complex it is impossible to model or predict. -3)The inherent complexity ensure it will always be changing and nothing man does impacts that.
Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is the highest it’s been in nine years, increasing more than 30% from last year, while the Antarctic’s level is well above normal. Most years the Arctic loses ice, but this year ice extent has increased” more than 77,000 square miles. That’s according to the Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility’s High Latitude Processing Center.
The Antarctic interior recorded its coldest April-to-September this year since records began in 1957. According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC), the average temperature at the US Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station was minus 60.9ºC for the six months. It was also the station’s second coldest winter (June, July and August) on record, with an average seasonal temperature of minus 62.9ºC. This was an extraordinary 3.4ºC below the long-term average (1881-2010) for winter.
Oh please GTFO. The six storms in southern Africa, the PNW heatwave, record flooding in Oz was fake news amirite?
I loved too hard @ this.👍
Rural places in Russia may need sewerage pipes as long as a hundred km to reach them. The cities have the plumbing. Remember that Russia had to pay the US back for its aid in beating the NAZIS in WWII, which they did not finish paying until after 2000. The interest rates were set high and they were unlike the US as they could not borrow limitless amounts of money from the bottomless black pit. The US capacity for limitless debts cause the USSR to fall. Look at Moscow now and look at how wealthy and solvent Russia is. Meanwhile, the US is decaying, with trillions of debt which will not be repayed, decaying infrastructure, an inability to know the truth. moral decadence and every foul vice added with drinking tiny ones blood and sacrificing them to satan.
Do you know what the “centralized sewage” is? And what the “system of pipes” is? The former is a municipal water treatment facility, the latter is known in the West as a septic tank. Now, what would be the situation with sanitation in the UK based on the understanding of these terms? I guess much worse.
I recently paid 800£ a month for a three room shack o the edge of a satellite commuter town of a large English city. It had a soakaway into a field next to a watercourse for sewage and everytime it rained the sewage would back up the pipes and spill out of the manhole cover under my kitchen window. Everywhere you go there are green septic tanks. When all the little brits get home from work the stink that comes up from the sewage farms is revolting. British cunts.
London is the shithole dud,you fool no one here (period) what the fuck are you drinking hey let me guess shit talking sodomite,recycled sewerage,well,well heres looking at you punk!
troll
De-nazification in progress👍🏼
Since the start of Ukraine Special Op… we already knew the result that Russia will win at the end. We have to analize now the USA policies involved to Ukraine in order to paint the USA Deep States plans… also USA UK EU policies on ukraine are enveloped into USA domestic policies like open borders, high inflation, covid and vaccines… I enjoy learning about USA because If you take off all their clothes (exceptionalism) and see them in their truth face, you discover they are better prepared instructed and organized than us and thats is all. Its nothing exceptional about USA really, haves a better system.
Better noncom leadership at squad and platoon levels. Small unit initiative that is proven strength of Western formations. They provide institutional memory that rotating, dead or promoted officers can not know.
Western political leadership provides contemptible strategic leadership choosing the worst kind of allies. This wastes their soldiery in futile wars. The grunts often admire the enemy more than their officers, higher command, and civilian leadership.
nobody in Europe ever asked for your “liberation” instead they fought it to the death
“Russian forces regrouping” means retreat after being badly beaten by Ukie units. News in Kharkiv have been very sad for many Russian mothers.
You’re so delusional and unable to break out of your basement troll coma. Weak.
proof?
Russia made a big retreat from Kharkov and SF is trying to spin it as some kind of 5D chess.
You’re unable to show your face and that’s why you changed accounts. Russia is grinding Ukrainian Cannon fodder to powder.
But they are smashing ukraine because of minor tactical retreat,use your head dud!
Zelensky has just decided to block gas transits to Germany, which will lose a third of the gas coming from Russia.
Yes, how fucked up is that. EU deals with these criminals scum. This is all Ukraine’s doing.
EU ARE THE CRIMINAL SCUM,DUD!
Maybe Zelensky and Putin are colluding? Watch what the price does now.
Dont bet on it. the lpr turned off the pipes,elensky is powerless there (period) Putin on the other hand is not the lprs leader,which technically voids him any blame!
No money, no resources. Inflation rates for producer rising at 30% and consumer rates of 7.5%. Cutting off natural gas should cripple the EU and German economies fast with rising inflation with input shortages and price increases making it impossible to do business. The collapse of the EU economy when shortages of other commodities hit could be epic.
Financial war takes a nasty turn — https://www.goldmoney.com/research/goldmoney-insights/financial-war-takes-a-nasty-turn?gmrefcode=gata
In that case, time to either restart Nord Stream 2, or throw Zelensky under the bus, or both.
Brilliant! I guess South Stream 2 will be opened sooner than expected.
lpr shut the taps,master move more gas for the east and south,eu must be punished!
Funniest Russian site, guys. Just keep laughing at those fake stories haha
Ghost of kiev approves this message.
Stick to cnn lgbtq sour prout,seens you so sure of comedy!
.. in the Azovstal plant and mostly consists of radicals are about to meet its long-expected fate…”.. how so, when we have read that 2 US Generals, many nato officers, 200 Fr. paras, 100 biolab scientists, and over 1k Azovs are in there.. this most likely from the 2 Canuck and US captured generals. A bit sparse with the trooph here, eh?
The question is what is the Russian Raison d’etat vis a vis Ukraine because it seems rather stupid to essentially to do battle in ONE PLACE and MANNER where Ukraine is the STRONGEST. None of the RAIL LINES and BRIDGES have been cut the cities all have POWER The Ukrainian Army seems to able to get supplies and weapons wherever they need to. Odessa and Dneipro have barely been touched
All railways to the north and west were hit, power substations, weapon depots, places of storage of NATO deliveries, etc. None of the tanks (need railway, are easy to spot and bomb) will reach the Donbass, that’s 100% certain.
Russia is not a criminal state like USA and its closest NATO vassals like UK. If it was, then by this time Kiev would exist no more, there would be no water, no food, no electricity, and the number of civilian casualties would not be just a couple thousands, but a couple millions. Russia wouldn’t be focused on liberating the Donbass people, but on showing its power in an unjustified way, while completely destroying all areas of the invaded country, like USA/UK and later other NATO vassals did in Middle East.
What you see/read Russia destroying in the south-east (Donbass) is the result of what was already there, preparing to invade Donetsk amd Lugansk separarist held areas, and well entrenched at the rear of that frontline, with caches of weapons, missiles and vehicles that were far, far, far higher than what was made public. After all the conflict in thay area is 8 years old, and there’s more than enough evidence the final assault was being prepared in total violation of the Minsk PEACE agreements. And then they say they wanted peace, and condemn Russia of “starting” the war…
As to the drones and other smaller stuff, it’s transported in civilian vehicles, and stored in cicilian buildings. So the allied armies needs to advance carefully, to avoid ambushes, and to make sure they hit legitimate targets. In this situation, the war crimes are solely committed by the Ukranians. That’s something I’m sure of, because it was told by a Portuguese NATO general on state TV. He was, since then, no longer invited to any TV channels, state or private owned, so that’s more than enough proof what he was saying was true, and it was hurting the propaganda made by the Pentagon’s/Brussel’s corrupted “journalists” ans opinion makers.
As to Odessa, you can check here at SF all the maps, updated almost every 2 days, that pinpoint where Russia is constantly paying close attention and bombing important strategic targets, like transportation ways, and all weapon/vehicle storage facilities. There are also strikes at fuel storages, and in the west media (Euronews) I already saw a report on the lines of cars trying to refill their tanks, some already being pushed by their drivers without any gas left near Odessa.
Also, Russia has been playing a very smart game elsewhere: it only escalates to answer NATO’s escalation, be it at war, rethoric, or sanctions. By keeping its pace, Russia is making sure NATO can’t escalate more without its propaganda being unmasked.
And being so prepared for sanctions (the ruble is even higher than before against the dollar, at a maximum of 2 years), Russia also has the time at its side, while the Western Europe (except Spain and Portugal, an “energy island” whose gas comes from Algeria, and with a hot or warm weather almost all year) are anxious to see the end of their own sanctions before next winter (that’s why the legal text of the current sanctions just defines a 6 month period), or they run the risk of Russia responding by cutting the gas until their inflation skyrockets, or even cutting it completely and letting them all freeze, and then just sit and watch as all those governments are overthrown.
I’m not an expert on any of this, I might be wrong, but I try to keep up and read a lot from many different sources, and this is how I view the current situation and the near future. USA is being successful in its plan of destabilizing Russia and keep Europe down, Russia was forced to bite the bait but is being successful in its plan of defending its economy and liberating Donbass (and more), Europe are the big losers (and Winter is coming…), and Ukraine is over: it’s already a dictatorship failed state with cleptocracy (even worse than oligarchy) and no leadership, its men are bravely (yet foolishly) slowing Russia’s advances, but in the end, it will be denazified (eg: what’s left of Azov pig’s battalion?), and Ukraine’s map will look like 2022 Yugoslavia: new independent Republics by the sea belonging to the invader’s political/military bloc, and just a landlocked tiny section that reminds where the previously bigger country used to be.
First time I see a brain behind this comment. Unfortunately those Ukrainians wont be able to realize for what they are dying. How pitiful they are.
You rely too much on cnn,thats your problem,not Russias,dud!
Watch those supply lines to Izyum. RF halted offensive south of Izyum RF retreating forces to Kupyansk. Off course very tactica. Gerasimov’s specialty is the controlled retreat.
Your getting smashed dud,live and bear it,no future in fascism nor your lgbtq troll army!
nazi moron specialty=stupidity
Now as I am not a millitary expert I was very interested in the analysis of Scott Ritter former US marine and UN weapons inspector and US Patriot who declared Russia has in effect already won the War by virtue of its devastaing artillery strikes and he estiamates the Ukranians are losing a Bataliion a day.
More than ever a diplomatic peace settlement is vital the only winners in war are those selling the bullets as Winston Churchill said …Jaw Jaw is better than War War.
Yes, SF propaganda speak is tiresome. There are always good choices, of course. Here, the good choice is to retreat, not waste more lifes or, indeed, surrender. That is a good choice. Don’t you think Ukrainian soldiers choosing not to waste more lifes (theirs and that of Russians) is a good choice? Even retreat may be a good choice in war, as Russian forces have demonstrated. SF, you often have good information and I appreciate your effort; but try not to get silly over your drive to overcite Russian gains.
The gains are conservative,unlike erm ghost of kiev,so they cant accept heteros fight better? too bad,russia never surrenders =Z=
trailer park nazi moron
Like taking candy from kids.
In America, the propaganda is all about successful Ukrainian operations and the defeat of Russian forces. It is impossible to get the truth from U.S. media. Meanwhile the Biden administration is impoverishing the country in order to buy and ship more weapons to Ukraine. It is also threatening and pressuring European vassals to exhaust themselves in the effort to destroy Russia. In essence, the American government is the colon cancer of the world.
