The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue developing their offensive in the Donbass, rapidly advancing in the Pokrovsk and Kurakshovo directions.
On December 10th, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially confirmed the full control of the village od Zheltoe (Zhovte) located west of Selidovo and south of Pokrovsk. According to the Russian military, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost over 575 soldiers, a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle and a US-made M113 armored personnel carrier made, two vehicles, a 152 mm D-20 cannon and three 122 mm D-30 howitzers in this direction over the past day.
‘Russian forces defeated the manpower and equipment of three mechanized, motorized infantry, assault brigades and an assault battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of the settlements of Dzerzhinsk, Shcherbinovka, Dimitrov, Petrovka and Pushkino in the Donetsk People’s Republic. Russian forces repelled eight Ukrainian counterattacks in the Pokrovsk direction,’ the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

Meanwhile, Russian forces are rapidly expanding their zone of control approaching Pokrovsk and strategically important roads nearby. According to preliminary reports from the battlefield, the town of Novotroitskoe came under Russian control and Russian forces are completing the mop up operations in the village of Shevchenko. According to Ukrainian reports, the Ukrainian military lost control of Shevchenko. These settlements are located on the Kurakhovo-Pokrovsk road, where Ukrainian military supplies and communications were cur off.
The advancing Russian forces are expanding their bridgehead for the further assault on Pokrovsk from the southern flank. Their attacks allow to advance in different directions. Clashes are ongoing in Pushkino and Russian forces approached the outskirts of Novoolenovka to the south. Battles began in Dachenskoe to the north. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are still resisting in Lysivka. After their defense was destroyed in the areas east of Pokrovsk, Ukrainian forces are hastily reinforcing the outskirts of the city but the ongoing Russian attacks in different directions force them to disperse forces in different areas on a wide front.

According to some forecasts, the battle for Pokrovsk and its outskirts may play the decisive role in the war. From the military point of view, this is the last fortified stronghold, after which there are still no solid lines of defense. Ukrainian soldiers complained that there are only some purely fortified trenches west of Pokrovsk and the way to the Dnipropetrovsk region is protected by “one anti-tank ditch in the middle of the field.”
The loss of Pokrovsk and areas nearby will deal a critical blow to the economy of the whole country. Together with Pokrovsk, Kiev will lose the only mine with strategic reserves of coking coal, which provides the entire Ukrainian metallurgical industry. Last year, it provided the country with more than 90 percent of the rare coal of the “K” brand used by the largest enterprises in Ukraine and abroad. It is mainly mined in a mine located in the village of Udachnoye located on the southwestern outskirts of Pokrovsk. Russian troops are only 8 kilometers away from this village.
Another important trophy of the Russian military are lithium deposits located on the eastern outskirts of Shevchenko. In January, 2024, Kiev sold the deposits together with the European Lithium Ukraine company, which had lithium licenses in Ukraine, to the European Lithium company for €184 million.
The deal was agreed in January on the day of Rishi Sunak’s visit. Ukraine made a generous gift to British partners: Australian European Lithium closed a deal to acquire European Lithium Ukraine LLC (formerly Petro Consulting) with lithium licenses in Ukraine.
The Australian European Lithium Limited (British satellite) has become the sole owner of the European Lithium Ukraine company instead of Mikhail Zhernov, and Anthony Sage became the only beneficiary. The British received the right to exploit the fields in Dobroe and Shevchenko. But the advancing Russian army thwarted their plan.
here are the weather forecasts for south front. expect the usual nonsense from various nato propaganda outlets: baseless attacks on putin, convoluted reasons why the situation in syria supposedly spells disaster for russia, and a mix of insults when the propagandists’ attempts at logic inevitably backfire (which won’t take long).
there was an initial hoorah from the west about syria, but now the dust is settling and the conseqeuences are emerging. russia and iran have pulled away and cut their losses. now the sunnis can step right in, and israel and the usa can deal with the quagmire. turkey will take over from iran as guarantor and the arabs may hopefully grow and develop syria. bless the syrian people
the question is that israel have failed to take gaza and release hostages beside usa and kurds are facing turkish airstrikes and sna land attacks
turkey is the big winner,i don’t think they will be able to fully control hts once they have fully established themselves & consolidated their grip of all syria. i think hts will try to turn the country into a “moderate” caliphate. i also think that now that israel destroyed most of syria’s military hardware, israel & its us,nato slaves will impose an arms embargo; if turkey is part of the embargo hts may turn to iran for weapons
the nazis are desperate, the west being humiliated and declaring syria a victory, but in europe they are in total despair
the west is always rushing to declare victory pre maturely. they tend to cream their panties pre maturely. remember “mission accomplished” by bush? how many of those empty skulled zionist roaches saw the ascendancy of iran as the blowback? the answer is: zero
us has basically lost syria now. erdogan and his hts headcchoppers are overruning kurdish positions so fast that us forces will have to leave if not soon, eventually after trump is inaugurated. wladimir van wilgenburg is crying like a little bicht now.
kiev selling the lithium reserves of donbass is 100% corruption🥶that is the regime afu is fighting for🤡
shevchenko right now where fighting is taking place south of pokrosvk has one of the biggest lithium deposits in ukraine. soon it’ll be russia’s
ukrainians need lime more than lithium right now.
this is about settling war debts, the lithium is a cherry on top for the military industrial complex, the reason why the cia/assorted interests are going after russia is because russia being anti-woke and majority white.
nearly every aspect of the neoliberal left’s world domination plans are blocked by the existence of an anti-woke russia.
that’s how they plan on settling their war debts, but that’s not what it was entirely about.
the western deep state knows that human capital is the most important commodity of all and having a majority white nation that rejects lgbt-wokeism is a massive threat to the efforts of any neoliberal deep state effort.
the following places will be under russian control by the new year : orikhiv, velyka novosilka, andrivka, pokrovsk, chasiv yar, siversk, serebrianka and of course sudzha in kursk.
sudzha in kursk will never be under russian control by year end. ukr still control 550km2 in kursk and and holding against russia might. it will take russia many more years to get its kursk territory back.
that’s a lovely thought. was that santa’s early arrival at your house?
many years? lol till end of next year the war will be over because than nothing will be left over of ucro army.
in which amerikunt gay bar did astrologer predict this?
all amerikunt now trained to lick mulatto peniz by age 9–fentanyl is progressive, suicide epidemic proves our ugly cesspool is wonderful—our illiterate peasants would elect a retarded lizard for prez if endorsed by ukrainian prostitute factory
i heard that that while hunter biden was in ukraine, he was introduced to a really hot ukrainian, honeypot, prostitute trainee; did her and he was so stoned he didn’t noticed her big schlong.
nothing good will come from hts ruling syria. the only change in that civil war will be who is fighting who.
