As of May 16, the front lines in Ukraine resemble a zigzag line. It follows the line west of Izyum – west of Balakleya – east of Chuguev – northwest of Volchansk. Clashes are reported in the village of Rubizhne located to the north of Stary Saltov, in Liptsy, near Cossack Lopan. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have recently reached the Russian border in several areas north of the city of Kharkiv. They are currently moving towards the border town of Volchansk on the Ukrainian territory.
Another important battlefield in the Kharkiv region remains the area of Chuguev. The front lines have remained unchanged. The Russian units hold their positions along the Primorskoye — Grakovo — Balakleya line. The Russian missiles are striking at the AFU military positions in the city, including the military airfield nearby. An offensive operation of the Ukrainian military from Chuguev may threaten the rears of the Russian grouping deployed in the Izyum area.
On May 15, Ukrainian fighters of the 227th battalion of the 127th brigade of the Kharkiv Territorial Defense Forces reportedly went to the border with Russia. Information about this was confirmed in the Ministry of Defense, and the soldiers themselves recorded from the border area an appeal to the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. The video recorded by the Ukrainian servicemen was mostly another PR campaign as it is clear that there were no clashes in the area. Nevertheless, it has a great impact on the Ukrainian and Russian public.
“Mr. President! Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine! We report. Today, May 15, the 227th Battalion of the 127th Brigade of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine has reached the border, the border, the dividing line with the Russian Federation, with the occupant country. We made it! We are here, there is a border guard with us,” said the battalion commander.
The mayor of Kharkiv, Igor Terekhov, told the BBC that Russian troops are withdrawing from Ukraine’s second-largest city. The Russian military did not enter the city, but held the positions on the city’s outskirts.
According to Terekhov, Kharkiv had not been shelled for five days. During that time, Russian troops made only one attempt to launch a missile at the Kharkiv airport, but it was shot down by Ukrainian air defense forces.
“The Russians constantly shelled Kharkiv because they were very close to the city. And thanks to the efforts of the territorial defense and the AFU, they moved far away from the city in the direction of the Russian border,” Terekhov said. – Now it’s quiet in Kharkiv, people are already returning to the city.”
However, the claims of the mayor were denied by local residents, who massively commented on the social media warning that there was still daily shelling in some districts of the city, especially the Severnays Saltovka district, warning civilians against returning to their homes.
The tactical withdrawal of Russian forces from the region has recently slowed down, and the Russian units managed to carry out some counter attacks. On May 15, Russian artillery attacked AFU positions near the town of Dergachi located on the northern outskirts of the city of Kharkiv.
In turn, the AFU general staff reported that the Russian military has not carried out any active operations in the Kharkiv direction, as its main efforts are concentrated on the withdrawal of troops from Kharkiv and retaining the occupied positions and supply routes. Earlier, the general staff of the AFU claimed that the Russian army focused its efforts “on countering the Ukrainian counterattack towards the border and preserving its supply lines to the north and east of Kharkiv.”
However, the AFU also suffer some difficulties and their advance in the Kharkiv region has almost stopped, amid the Russian advance on the Donbass front lines. In the last two days, the Ukrainian mobilized units fighting near Kharkov were redeployed in order to support the 30th and 56th Mechanized Brigades of the AFU, which suffered significant losses during the fighting in the Donbas.
The retreat of the Russian units from the Kharkiv outskirts allowed the AFU to deploy missile systems close to the Russian border.
The US-made M142 HIMARS have been reportedly spotted near Kharkiv for several days in a row, but the claims are yet to be provided with any footage from the spot.

More foreign weapons were discovered by the Russian Guards in the Ukrainian positions near Kharkiv. they included:
- Polish RPG-75 anti-tank grenade launchers;
- American Javelin ATGMs;
- Czech RPG-76 anti-tank grenade launchers;
- Swedish AT4 anti-tank grenade launchers;
- British ATGM NLAWs;
- Ukrainian semi-automatic self-loading rifle Zbroyar Z-15 (hunting and sports carbine).
As a result of the Russian retreat, the shelling of Russian territory by the AFU continues.
The settlement of Sereda in the Shebekinsky urban district near Belgorod was shelled from the territory of Ukraine, according to the regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. One civilian was injured and received a shrapnel wound.
So far, the shelling in the Belgorod region has damaged 280 homes, local authorities said. There were also 85 vehicles damaged, including agricultural equipment, cars, and trucks. The most affected objects are in the Belgorod district.
Ukrainian troops are shelling the Belgorod region on a daily basis. The city of Belgorod is one of the main targets. However, the Russian air defence systems are intercepting almost all the attacks over the city.
In response to the recent attacks, at least 4 rockets were launched from Belgorod towards Ukraine on May 16.
At this point, the variable successes of both armies in the Kharkiv direction can be noted. On the one hand, the AFU army reached the border with Russia, repelled Russian soldiers from the city of Kharkiv, deployed US rocket launchers. The war may reach the Russian soil.
However, the Ukrainian victories in this direction risk to turn into another media victory rather than a strategic success. The both sides have not enough forces in the region to carry out a decisive blow, and they both are actively transferring their forces from the Kharkiv region to the Donbass front lines. The Russian army’s lull can be characterized by a reorientation in logistical and strategic matters. So far, the Ukrainian soldiers have reached the Russian territory in several small areas, that are not enough for any massive assault on the Russian military facilities in Russia. The efforts of the small Russian-led grouping remaining in the Kharkiv region still matter. However, the further developments should not exclude the Ukraine’s attack on the Russian territory.
I wonder what the plan is, now that it is 100% implemented!
same plan as day 1, hasent changed yet, I’m sure Vlad will call you up personally when it does. until then, expect the same plan. kill ukrop nazis, take land from them, give it to Russian Ukrainians, like Khrushchev creation of ukraine as a state was planned as the original reward for their loyalty destroying german nazis during WWII. I think you will notice if the plan changes.
It’s the pattern speech of Dmitry Peskov, for instance. He and other dumbs need being dismissed so long time ago.
God’s Ways are Beyond Human Understanding. And since Putin is their God……
. . . only to people who find parts of the Bible ‘confusing’. Just sayin . . .
The “plan” is to take the Donbass and try suing for peace.
It is dubious that it will happen (taking the whole Donbass), even if it would, the West forbade zelensky any further peace talks.
So, yeah, it will leave Russia with holding the bag. more and more and more weapons, equipment and money will flow into ukraine, to bleed the Russians dry.
The “plan” is a spectacular failure of Vladimir Vladimorovich, and all the ass-kissers that surround him.
Wasn’t it Macron who requested Zelensky to relinquish control of some Ukrainian soil to give Putin the chance of a face keeping peace treaty? Macron gets bashed for that in the western media.
If Russia can fully secure the Luhansk and Donetsk regions surely is questionable, seeing the results so far. Inching forward is not decisive.
Meanwhile the first western heavy weapons systems are arriving, giving the Ukrainian side artillery range advantage already. In one or two months the AFU could muster massive numbers of western heavy weapons. What will such developments result in. Will Russia be able to withstand the Ukrainian side then? And if, how?
Russia could declare war on Ukr and mobilize 1.5 milion personal if needed
A war it is anyway by international laws, Russia only abides to its internal laws.
But how likely is it that Russia would mobilize? There are economic impacts to be considered too, especially with 17% inflation ratio for April.
How would this affect equipment and logistics for Russia, as it already now struggles to keep its forces supplied accordingly. More soldiers puts a greater burden on the traffic infrastructure too. Furthermore, more soldiers and equipment too mean, easier targets for the Ukraine, as large formations are difficult to hide.
How would this really affect and change the current situation?
The impact depends on the general economic situation. If the western sanctions have the impact that the NATO expects, than a general mobilization might be even a solution for the economic problems. Better 1,5 million soldiers and fully working military industry than millions of starved and angry people…
Russia is exporting food, not a good example. The main issue is, right now many Russian soldiers are using outdated equipment. How much equipment does Russia really have in working conditions?
A mobilisation would add a lot of pressure on the economy, as the military will need a lot of supplies on a daily basis. Not even counting new weapons systems. How far is Russia able to provide that?
How many soldiers can be supported at the field, how many supplies can be delivered, even when the rail network breaks down?
It’s not so easy to put 1.5 million men under weapons. Especially as large formations are large targets too these days.
Not sure how long Russia could deal with such a situation, considering the rather frustrated military too. Another unknown is how the society will receive such a development?
Indeed, Curiosity, I had this talk with someone who was saying Ukraine could put 19,000,000 soldiers into the fight. That’s a monstrous number, and Ukraine just doesn’t have the economy or the equipment to do it. There is no shortage of images and videos of their reservists being sent to fight with either old or incomplete gear, scrounged weapons, and so on. It is fully feasible for Russia to fully mobilize and commit up to 200,000 further soldiers to Ukraine, that is a reasonable number of troops to be able to field and support. That would also be a number that would push over the remaining resistance. A fully mobilized war is a serious economic undertaking, and to fully use the population requires a sweeping and expensive retooling of the entire economy.
Interesting point of view. But remember, a lot of Ukrainians are simply manning checkpoints and are employed to guard the rear. No need to give them up to date equipment. The territorial forces get some better equipment already, but they are in the rear of the regular forces only too.
If the Ukraine can field 1.5 million men at the same time that would be a lot already. Anything above won’t serve a meaningful purpose anyway, true.
Not with Putin in power. He is a liberal poser not a war leader. His incompentent SMO is a special desaster. Russia has the needed firepower and manposer for a full scale war in Ukraine but the small Vlad still prefers kneeing in front of his WESTERN PARTNER and FRIENDS: I ve never heard last 30 years one western politican saying our eastern partner respectivly friend Russia. Only hearing small Vlad and his wanabe diplomat Lavrov.
Russia has been conducting operations across a front of hundreds of km, having liberated thousands of square km of territory from the failed Ukrainian CIA project. They continue to pound the Ukrainian forces who still occupy fortified defensive lines established over the last eight years in the east and south-east. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Ukrainians have any capacity to actually repel or halt the Russian advances.
The Ukraine didn’t have the capacity to halt and repel Russian Forces at Kharkiv and Kiev, nor Mykolaiv, where Russian Forces already had been at the cities outskirts?
Well said, Clyde.
Such a analysist.
What make you think that the West will not bleed dry before Russia? I mean, it is not difficult to see how have the natural resources and energy for its industry and who does not have.
I am sure you have eyes to see that Russia did not bomb all roads and railways in eastern Ukraine, having resources to do it.
Don’t you think that there is a reason for it? Or your small brain conditioned by propaganda to think that western politician (that demonstrate time after time their stupidity) have a better plan that people that won them in Georgia, Crimea or Siria.
AnaI-ist, ass-kissing and ass sucking is your job AnaI-hooker from Huner Biden’s sex dungeon
Guys…what is your problem? I mean, one can be of different opinion /s) …but what is that with those western Putinistas and their language full of faeces and abnormal sexual practices? Man, what should the russian think about us?
tampax your mouth is full of feces and abnormal sexual practices
Stop crying little twat.
Is everyone in here 13yrs old?
From the Nazis? PlanktonIDidntThinkIdGetThisFar.PNG From Russia? Entrap the forward Nazi elements, encircle Severodonetsk to give it the Mariupol treatment.
Ukrainian invasion of Russia could completely justify Russia’s cause in the eyes of the world and would allow more extreme measures. However I believe it is to draw Russia into an unsustainable escalation of this war and thereby allow more NATO criminal activity in Ukraine.
10 border guards posing at the border before no mans land is not an invasion, its a pr stunt. If them ten would like to meet satan personally, let them enter no mans land and see how fast Russian Border guards will issue them with a free ticket to the meeting. PMSL Invasion…
It is a PR stunt indeed, but how is it possible to do it at the border?
The post was mobile !!!
Either it’s not the border, or some other place of the border without any Russian troops and no conflict, or they used civilian vehicles and clothes and only equiped in the last minute to take the photo.
Who can explain this? Well who can explain the “ghost of Kiev” that never existed, the 13 “dead” on Snake island that didn’t die, the “five unsuccessful river crossings” where the “destroyed” vehicles are still moving, the “Azovstal accomplished mission” that’s just hundreds of guys in a hole surrendering after 2 months, etc? Propaganda during war does not need to be explained, only shown in a way that makes many idiots believe in it…
And that “war” is being won by the West and Kiev inside the West and nowhere else. +45 thousand dead soldiers (near 40% of them UkroNazis), Kiev surrounded in a few days to force negotiation while Kherson and Zaporijia oblasts were conquered, 95% of Lugansk liberated, Donetsk cauldron being closed on the back of 8 years old well entrenched defensive lines, missiles hitting bulseye all over the country destroying supply lines, infrastructure, and newly arrived equipment, etc. But they’re winning the PR “war”…
I guess when the West and Kiev no longer have grain nor gas, they’ll eat the propaganda papers, and stay warm by slapping each other… I wonder what will fall first: Odessa or the Western governments that are shooting their own people in the foot, torturing Assange, dealing with Turkey’s demands, and with a main stream media that seems controlled by Goebbels.
step one, walk to border post, step two, take picture, step three walk back to border hut and have more grasshopper soup. if ukropts find that difficult they have bigger problems than Russia.
youre such an Idiot war mongerer like so many others here, thirsty for slavic blood. So many of you anti slavic SF readers call for a nuclear strike because you want to russia and ukraine to be earased by a nuclear war. But also your countrys will be earased then. If one side will start with this shit- we will ALL be gone. get this in your head- assholes.
exactly, Putin himself stated mutliple times that a nuclear war will not have any victors. A russian nuclear strike, besides being genocidal madness, would likely be the end of Russia if not the entire northern hemisphere. A nuclear strike for some ruins in the East of Ukraine?
No victors is better than USNATO victory.
Unsustainable escalation means economically unsustainable. to bankrupt Russia and throw more lives away unnecessarily in this cause. I want peace here the Satanic leadership of Ukraine and the Globalist NATO make it impossible..
NATO is not operating in Ukraine because RU (so far) has VETO power in UN . But it is legal to support country that was illegally attacked by Russia.
NATO has been operating on the territory of the failed Ukrainian CIA project since the US coup in Kiev in 2014. This is acknowledged in the mainstream propaganda apparatus of the US and vassals. https://globalnews.ca/news/8517110/canada-special-forces-ukraine-russia/
A Ukraine invasion into Russia would not get too far with no air cover, they are sitting ducks
So far the Ukraine did few mistakes in regards to propaganda and military actions. Otherwise Russia would have steamrolled Ukraine already in the beginning.
It’s doubtful that the Ukraine would move into Russian territory any further than reaching strategic targets within their range of aerial assets and artillery range? It would be surprising if they go beyond that.
The Russian incursion at Sumy surely was supposed to be a reminder that incursions can happen from both sides.
Let us calculate: AFU artillerie range up to 70 km Russian Artillery range: 40 km
AFU can shell without being hit, calorie can not move
wow..just wow… you now writing your own fiction? remind me again of how many hypersonic missile systems Ukraine has?
True Russian hypersonic missiles are not deployed in great numbers and are likely reserved for a war with NATO or the USA. They launched a few air launched aero-ballistic missiles on Odessa recently as a demonstration and they also demonstrated that the Sarmat iICBM s a working weapon as well but don’t expect these systems to be used in the counter battery role. Why would you waste a weapon designed to take out an aircraft carrier on an artillery piece?
No amount of artillery will help ukranians cause russians have got pretty tight air defence integrated with their troops, why do you think tochka-u, bairaktars and switchblades turned out to be useless. And not to mention the costs of smart guided rockets lmao
You are right, with such a range Ukraininan artilery may reach outdoor johns in Russian border villages. I’ve always wondered why Russians did not develop public sewer systems in their border villages. Now I do know why. It is cheaper to use varoius johns to collect and disseminate crap.
Russian “Smerch and Tornado” MLRS has a range of up to 70 Km with standard munitions and 120 KM with guided munitions. Lets just see how many of these HIMARS and M177’s make it to the front lines before declaring victory. If they start getting forward in numbers expect Russia to declare war against Ukraine and start taking it apart like the USA did to Iraq.
This is no longer a war between Ukraine and Russia. I think that declaration of war is going to happen anyway with the escalation of support and arms that the USA / EU have been giving to Ukraine. This is spiralling out of control. We had a “routine” test of the emergency broadcasting system used in the case of a nuclear war last week. Time to get on Youtube and review those ‘duck and cover” videos from the 50’s.
Russian “Smerch and Tornado” MLRS has a range of up to 70 Km with standard munitions and 120 KM with guided munitions.
Russian ground forces received about 30 Tornado-G systems in 2011, replacing the BM-21 Grad.[3] The improved Tornado-S was upgraded with the special GLONASS satellite navigation system used in the Smerch missile system. The Tornado-S has guided rocket rounds enabling it to fire out to 72 miles (120 km). The Tornado-S has a longer range and increased effectiveness, due to the use of new warhead payloads and a reduced launch readiness time of just three minutes. The Tornado-G entered series production in 2013.[4] The system entered service with the Russian armed forces in 2014.[5] The Tornado-S was approved for service in July–August 2016 and started its serial deliveries.[6][7] 20 Tornado-S vehicles ordered in summer 2019.[8] A new order was made in August 2020.[9][10]
20 and an unspecified number ordered in 2019 and 2020. No news about deliveries.
Very doubtful that they have those in anywhere near significant numbers. Their influence in the battlespace is minimal if anything at all.
Hmmm … The information I have is 180 Tornado G’s and 180 Tornado S deployed which is 360 launch vehicles by my count.
They have them deployed as “reactive artillery brigades” consisting of 3 battalions of 4 launch vehicles. Russia has 5 such brigades with one (79 th Rocket artillery brigade) deployed in the current battle space.
Sending 3 sets of 45 missiles downrange in minutes from 70 km’s out isn’t exactly “insignifigant”
Having another 12 sets of 45 missiles that can be brought in relatively quickly is devastating.
Please note that these reactive artillery brigades account for only 60 launch vehicles … Russia reportedly has another 300 somewhere.
Russian Tragedy , Putin is falling
He does. For the 378th time since about 2001. If you trust MSM.
Russia was supposed to fall apart three days after the very first sanctions were placed on it, a few decades back….
The advance from Kharkiv to Belgorod is useless territory. If Ukraine is able to deploy artillery and shell Russian territory, then that reveals a problem with the Russians. The combination of Russian air superiority and counter-battery fire should make the use of that fancy, new artillery a suicide mission. If Russia cannot suppress it, they have a much bigger problem.
Only losers in denial say what you say. Invading Russia is also useless territory but territory they will take lol,
What Russia is doing are basic tactics used in warfare since the days of Subutai and the Golden Hoard.
The Purpose of the Russian force around karkhpv is to keep the Ukrainian forces defending Karkov from being redeployed to the Donbass.
It doesn’t matter whether they are west of Karkov, in Karkov or north of Karkov on the Russian border the point is they aren’t in the Donbass where the Russians are trying to take ground.
All Russia has to do to “fix” them is keep a force near Karkov. Same goes for Kiev, or Odessa, or Nicoliav … same tactic.
This is how you defeat a numerically larger force with a smaller force …. in this case Russia can’t commit a large force to fight in Ukraine because the main enemy is NATO. Since NATO is now the force doing the fighting in Ukraine expect those numbers … and tactics …. to change.
Special Suicide mission it is , now they will lose Crimea also
You have anything to back this BS up beside your fantasy on drugs?
can you read a map?
Put the crack pipe down.
I verry love pipes. All kind of pipes.
now i don’t understand, why no carpet bombs north of Kharkiv, they are on the border and can kill as many russians as they want so why not a massive bombardment to kill/retreat them to Kharkiv, I understand less and less…
Carpet bombing would be water on the western propaganda mills. It too would alienate the remaining Russian allies, who are already struggling with their positions internationally.
Politics have always interfered with military strategies and tactics, as could be seen in Vietnam too on the US side.
Economic and social considerations are matters too. It’s highly doubtful that anything like that will happen.
Curiosity kills the cat? I once had a cat. I made love with that cat and she died. Verry sad.
So curiosity does not kill the cat, anaI sex kill the cat.
Politics is the continuation of war by other means. War is the continuation of politics by other means.
Cats are the continuation of hunting by cute means. =)
It’s a huge annoying to see another avoidable setback by russian forces.
It’s notorious that there were just a few reservists from LNR left into the towns retaken by ukranian forces. And there were just few russian BTGs scattered in Kharkiv’s outskirts.
Southfront since third day alerted serious issues within comand structure of russian forces. There are ridiculous approachs and basic mistakes, some examples:
1. Lack of minimal manpower in so many fronts against the second greatest army of Europe.
2. Soft approach along all conflict. Russian mechanized brigades were just doing a simple ride in the earlier weeks.
3. Just later first month VKS started real strikes against manpower and comand posts of AFU.
4. Absence of central command of this military operation is bizarre. Who is responsible for main tatics? Where is a necessary central comand of operations?
5. The russian soldier are exausted and hindered by awful command. They are true heroes. Chechens are brave and essentials in urban combats whereas citizens from high class in Moscow and San Petersburg are watching this conflict drinking and eating confortably.
Moment for renew much mentality in Moscow.
Russian soldiers are not exhausted cause they are being rotated constantly can’t say the same for ukranians and co.
They are rotated. The formers were retired in Ukrainian refrigerators, because Russia did not want them, and are rotated with brand new, fresh cannon fodder.
I wouldn’t say exhausted. I guess “frustration” would be a better term, as the whole campaign and their frontline experience surely didn’t lift up their morale.
It probably is true that reports about refusing commands is exaggerated, but they have merit too.
Nice capture. 5 weapons. And the Ukrainians captured just one. Some Pantsir or how it’s called….
Who are “we” who are winning?
Russian military men are poorly trained, poorly led and as we are now really witnessing their logistic system doesn’t work at all. What would The Saker and Andrei Martyanov now think?
They are led by a Zionist Cocksucker called Putin, whose grandmaster checkers mission looks as successful as his bleeding wound “success” in Syria lol
There is no ukranian progress, ukkies are trying hard with pr stunts like retaking snake island, pushing towards russian border. Fact is russians are just distracting them from the russian grouping and main battle in Donbas by doing raids around Kharkov. Those russian groups are pretty small, not intended to take and hold areas.
Hahahah the truth bothers you :)
By the way there is something strange with russian MOD reports: daily so many weapon systems, so much ukranian manpower are destroyed, there are so many attacks. But there is total lack of capacity to neutralize a territorial defence units used by ukranian forces in Kharkiv!!! It causes outrage and fury seeing so many contradictions.
One keeps hearing that Russia still has huge forces in reserve. Wouldn’t this (or rather two weeks ago) be the time to deploy a couple of them and, you know, protect their country? I know that Moscow likes to talk about a “limited operation” because of domestic politics, but allowing Belgorod to be shelled sounds like terrible domestic politics to me. Not to mention that there were reports that Azov’s Kraken unit was active in this same general area as some sort of punitive battalion; I’d have thought that in Russia’s eyes, they’d be a priority target for extreme demilitarization.
Our Ukrainian brothers are doing us proud. Every single day, the metal of Zion will cut deeper in the terror that surrounds it 🦾🇮🇱
Of course they make you proud. Little Odessa is notorious for its Jewish mafia. Founder and chief financier of Right Sector Kolomoisky is also a Jew. Zelensky is a Jew. It is quite normal to be proud of criminals. Tells a lot .
The wet dream of the Americans is the use of nuclear tactical weapons. Just to break the alliance of China and Russia. They do not care how many victims Ukraine will have. He will soon persuade the Ukrainians. These jerks will do it
URGENT! The Azov militants came out with a WHITE FLAG! The wounded are already being taken to the hospital, they have surrendered. Apparently, they do not want to rot alive for the interests of a corrupt fascist drug addict Zelensky and a gang of Western cannibals. And a painted “border” pole in a forest belt can be dug in by a schoolboy…
It seems to be a ceasefire for getting out wounded. But surrender?
Probably a diplomatic effort that at least has limited effect.
What will happen to those DPR/LPR dudes that are trapped between Kharkiv and Russia?
Nothing.
Russia should be careful that they aren’t switching sides, if the treatment reported would be true.
Come on Vlad , time for tactical nukes !
yankee assholes do that…or didn’t they tell you in “high” skoooooool?
Read a history of WW1 and WW2 and settle in, this is not over the south needs to be consolidated first. the sea of Azov is a Russian lake
Kharkov was and still is the worst front by far since day 1. Entire operation could be different if RuA command in Kharkov was not so criminally incompetent. Kharkov is the gateway to cent.Ukraine, it should have been taken in the first 3 days, with competent command and careful planning and execution. Perhaps more important than Kiev, the entire war could be over by now.
And please, it’s Kharkov, not Kharkiv. Why the f*** even SF use Maidan-ukro names?
No. The whole Russian milary incompetence is revealed. From air force to navy, from navy to ground forces. Their soldiers are poorly trained with wide range. One of the worst cases their hapless NCO’s causing lots of logistic nightmare. For private soldiers whole Russian Army is just big bully. No wonder why spirit is going down.
Can you run that by me again, shlomo in Inglish pleeeeZ
Mother Russia’s avenging sons, inexorable, relentless and decided…. willpower like lava churning out of the soul of the nation that cannot and will not be stopped until the last vestige of vermin is vaporized and disappears from the cleansed carcass of a land that should never have been.
Russians are slow to saddle but when they do they ride like the wind.
Let the girly men and manly girls of Natostan and their snaggle-toothed $atanic masters of Pentacon in their Slumville sewer know that they will be destroyed if it has to come to that.
Better NO WORLD whatsoever than one without Mother Russia.
The thinking being that if the Ukroppers carry the damn border post all the way to Monika Zelenski’s Al CIAduh bunker in Polakville they will have conquered Mother Russia. It’s like squid games for retard$…..
I understand now why Russia is not responding more severely to attacks on its own territory. They want the shelling to continue and they hope to bait Ukraine to attack Russia directly on its soil. That way, even without calls for mobilization, the Russian public will call for it and then it will be possible.
Beside supposed mobilization plans in every war the vast russian territory was always their strongest asset. When things are not developing as they wished or expected the best thing they can do is give the enemy space and let them advance… this worked with polish, swedish, french and german invaders so far.
Yes because that exposes the supply lines and the lessens the ability to guard such massive territories. That way a lot of holes open up in the invading army’s advance. Except, I don’t think Russia will let them invade: it would be an embarassment of epic proportions
Run away Russia, run to save your lives
