The Ukrainian military has reportedly captured seven villages spanning just 90 square kilometers from Russian forces since the start of its counteroffensive on June 4.
On June 11, Ukrainian officials said their troops took over the villages of Novodonetskoe, Blagodatnoe, Storojevoe, Makarovka and Neskuchnoe in the Donetsk region. The next day, June 12, officials announced that the Zaporozhye region villages of Lokbovoe and Novodarovka were also now back under Ukrainian control.
The capture of the seven small villages was widely reported by the mainstream media as “initial success,” despite the fact that they are located kilometers away from the first line of defense of the Russian military in the Zaporozhye and south Donetsk sectors.
Prior to the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine Novodonetskoe was populated by just 327 people, Makarovka by 258, Blagodatnoe by 1097, Storojevoe by 96, Neskuchnoe by 644, Lokbovoe by 99 and Novodarovka had no more than 51 people living in it.
Kiev forces paid a heavy price to capture these small villages. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, around 10,000 have been killed or wounded since the start of the counteroffensive. Many of the casualties were trained by NATO in bases outside Ukraine.
Russian President Vladmir Putin also revealed in recent remarks that Ukraine lost 186 tanks and 418 armored vehicles in the course of the counteroffensive. The president said that around 30% of equipment supplied to Kiev forces by the West were destroyed, including German-made Leopard 2 main battle tanks and American-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.
Despite sustaining heavy losses and making very few gains, Kiev forces launched a new series of large-scale attacks in Zaporozhye and south Donetsk on June 17 and 18. Heavy fighting is now taking place on several fronts in the two sectors.
Ukraine appears to have built its counteroffensive plan based on the wishful thinking of Western politicians and the recommendations of the mainstream media. Now, its troops are paying the price.
seems like we must have killed at least 600,000 of these verminous nazis by now. pretty soon this shitty little nazi terrorist rump state will cease to exist heheheh p.s. i especially like how the west is already blaming the failures of its military machinations on “rogue” ukrainian generals not listening to them and attacking in several directions and not in one combined strength which was the nato suggestion. that is ‘special’…
in either way this shitty little failed nazi terrorist rump state will soon cease to exist forever along with it’s 5 minutes of history, and all the little banderite scum that infests it.
how do the ukrainians not get it that they are being totally abused by nato? ukraine should tell nato to f. off and make peace and trade with russia. nato uses ukraine to fight russia for them giving their scrap equipment. nato tells them what to do them when it does not work tells them they messed up, usa and germany blames ukraine for their nord stream terrorists attacks.
how do ruzzkis think about being chinese sluts? ns was blown by ruzzian terrorists!!
incredible ignorance and stupidity
zelensky and nuland are zionist pied pipers. ukraine became parody of a nation. ukrainians voted for zelensky because he promised to clamp down on corruption and make peace with the donbass. of course, since he was put in by a major oligarch and owner of two militias, it was never going to happen, but voters in ukraine are as stupid as in other countries.
ahahahaha, dream on fuckhead…nazis only exist in ruzzia…so go to kill yourself stupid pussy faggot!!!
take your meds retard.
dumb, dumber, polak.
there we go again. a pole showing his intelligence
what is the universe trying to tell us by tolerating the existence of people like you?…
so how much closer to the stated nato/nazi goal of “fighting to the last ukrainian”[1] are we?
[1] maybe just penultimate ukrainian if the us decides little vlodymyr is more use to them alive than dead.
i only wish we could reanimate stalin so he could have a good laugh, he would have loved to see us fighting amongst ourselves.
lenin is looking proud at ze for continuing his work to get slavs killed in the name of the religion of coin.
when all ukrainian fighting men are gone, there is no reason to keep ukraine alive.
russia will get the east up to the dnipr plus odessa, the rest will be taken by poland and hungary.
the polacks can then deal with the remaining nazis that are left in the area.
no , romania must also take his lost land , slovakia also, hungary a little also !!!!!!!!!!!! be honest !!!!!!
they won’t those will come as refuges to western europe.
ukraine accepting to be nato’s cannon fodder is the worse case in history of choosing the wrong side.
is seems sadly that slavs are bound to do this time and time again. the yugoslavs were lead on by the entante cordial to fight the central powers in ww1. the poles and yugoslavs lead on bye the allies to fight the axis in ww2. and now the ukrainians are lead on by nato to fight russia. in all these wars the slavs have suffered the most and not a single historian outside of the respective country cares.
cannon fodder is ruzzian scum…
all slavs who die in this war are cannonfodder my polish friend. i am not a russian i am a southern slav and i see the polish as the people who stopped the ottomans and do not wish them anything bad. but can’t you see this is only slavs dieing and no americans or brits or god forbid israelites? ze does not sacrifice his people. they were on the first planes out of the country. and for putin he is surrounded by nonslavs and probably has not much more regard for the people then ze.
cucking until death, lol
western lie machine working full swing 24 x 7.
you mean the ruzzki one of course…24×7 stupid lies everyone except stupid vatnik scum recognizes at once…
ha, ha, ha … tak to som sa ozaj pobavil. 90 km2 za cca 2 týždne? premenené na drobné, by to bolo koľko pri frontovej línii dlhej cca 1000 km? a k tomu si treba primyslieť ten fakt, že banderovských fašistov podporuje zhruba 54 štátov pod vedením usa!!! straty ukrajiny sú cca 10 000 mužov a cca 30% dodanej bojovej techniky!!!
curand noi teritorii sunt declarate eliberate in ua. in privinta unor noi teritorii… : in magazinele de bricolaj diy se vand brichete de carbuni in bucurești. ce ai de oferit daca iti vin noi teritorii si gratis? ce oferi? furi ursilor teritorii? omori prin min mediului de la bucurești – 500 de ursi? ca iti pui tu cotetul porcilor in vf de munte? ce oferi : taxe noi de mediu pt transport si mașini personale?
those villages are gray zone areas. russia had already pulled back from those villages, because it is flat, open steppe country. it literally has no strategic value. ukraine can claim “victory”, when there is none. they took very heavy losses in manpower and equipment, and haven’t even come close to reaching the first line of russian defenses.
