In a significant victory in the Donbass battles, the Russian Army has successfully repelled the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Bogatyr, a strategic stronghold that has been a focal point in military operations in the South Donetsk direction. The victory is yet to be officially confirmed. According to preliminary reports from the battlefield, the town almost came under Russian control, but the mop up operations are ongoing and the Russian troops are yet to secure their gains. This move is expected to have far-reaching implications on a large front.
Bogatyr, located in a strategically advantageous position at the crossroads, has been a critical stronghold for both military and logistical operations of the retreating Ukrainian army. Its geographical features, like the Volchia River to the north and reinforced defense line to the southeast, provided defense to the stronghold, making it a coveted location for controlling surrounding areas. Together with Alekseevka on the northern bank, Bogatyr is the last large settlement on the Russian advance road to the west, towards Komar.
The operation to seize Bogatyr was meticulously planned, involving a combination of ground forces, air support, and intelligence operations. Russian forces executed a series of coordinated attacks, overwhelming the defenses of the stronghold to the southeast. The first reports about Russian assault on the southeastern outskirts of the town came on May 6th, less than a week ago. As of May 12, Russian forces had already reportedly controlled about 80 percent of the settlement. Ukrainian military reporters confirmed Russian advance.
The stronghold’s capture by the Russian military allows for enhanced operational capabilities, including better management of supply lines, ensuring that troops are well-equipped and supported. The elevated terrain offers a vantage point for monitoring enemy movements, providing a tactical advantage in planning further operations. Additionally, the capture of such a significant location can demoralize the retreating Ukrainian soldiers and bolster the confidence of Russian troops.
The loss of Bogatyr also threatens the entire line of Ukrainian on a wide front to the north, towards Pokrovsk, where the Russian army is already approaching the administrative border of the Dnepropetrovsk region. LINK
looking at the map its obvious a pincer movement is being formed heading towards a major ukraine supply route ,more and more russia is achieving its aims.
i can tell you putin is not going to istanbul to meet with the coked up western crew. the western leadershits need to lay off the cocaine first. everything about their narratives and battlefield losses screams of a cocaine addiction
it’s all about optics for zelensky to appear a peace maker. somehow the idiots in the west are conviced they will be able to score a victory by lying to their constituents. they are bahgdad bobing themselves into oblivion. it is as stupid as having killer marketing material but no product to sell.
its only to persuade their citizens that more money needs to be invested in arms allowing for more of those prescious kickbacks the polititians love.
kickback : maybe a bit. more importantly, large western countries do not have any balance sheet space anymore to “grow”. they are stuck in stagnation, or more probably at recession, and their idiotic leaders would welcome military spending to provide both growth and distraction from the hardship for their population. it just shows how illiterate and only interested in the short term these leaders are.
by provoking russia, they put themselves in a situation that threaten to unravel both nato (that cannot defeat russia) and the eu (that went all in against russia but it backfired spectacularly). and the only way forward to prevent that is ever less democracy and freedom (especially freedom of expression) and trying to provoke russia to the point of being able to justify military intervention.
they simply put the european continent on a course for suicide, again. because the first two times were such tremendous successes. so of course, rearming europe as the same time the americans (aka ‘the lid’) are trying to exit is such a great idea. again, the leaders of the west are complete uneducated people. they are part of generations that have not known war and it shows.
they are doing what they are told by the puppet masters you mean😉
military intervention is kamikaze. russia has 900+ bombers and can blast any army into pieces using only conventional bombs🍿🍿🍿they only hold back now because the frontlines are still in russian speaking areas and they have to live together with what remains of ukraine later🤫

ozaj fantastická správa!!! aj toto ma utvrdzuje v tom, že žiadne prímerie, iba úplná a bezpodmienečná kapitulácia fašistov v kyjeve je možná a mysliteľná. nič iného nepripadá v úvahu!!! svetu mier!!!
