On April 18, the AFU General Staff claimed the beginning of the second phase of the Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. On April 19th, the Russian Foreign Minister confirmed that another stage was launched. In turn, the Russian Ministry of Defense has not made any statements about this.However, it is too early to claim the beginning of the massive Russian offensive in the Donbass region.
Fierce clashes has been going on on the front lines since the launch of the Russian military operations. The most recently, Russian forces have increased strikes on the Ukrainian military facilities. Russian, L/DPR artillery is heavily pounding the AFU positions as well. At the moment, it is likely the stage of offensive reconnaissance in the Donbass region.
Russia has launched small offensive operations near Donetsk and Izyum on the eve of a larger-scale offensive throughout the Donbas. According to the Pentagon, over the past day, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has transferred two battalion task groups to Ukraine and their transfer from the territory of Belarus still continues.

One of the main directions of the Russian offensive is the north of the Donbass region.
In the area of Izyum, Russian troops are advancing towards Slavyansk and Kramatorsk from the north and northwest. There are also heavy battles in the direction of Barvenkovo. The AFU are slowly retreating amid fierce clashes. According to preliminary information, the AFU were pushed out the village of Suligovka. Battles were reported in the area of Novaya Dmitrievka in the direction of Barvenkovo and Dolgenkoe located on the road to Slavyansk.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine reportedly prepared another counterattack on Russian forces near Izyum. However, the attack was thwarted by Russian reconnaissance groups. As a result of the fighting, 4 Ukrainian tanks were destroyed.
Russian forces have recently secured the areas north of Lozovoe, where front lines were pushed towards Peski-Radkovskie.
Another important direction in the area, where Russian forces have recently claimed a success, is the advance toward the town of Liman from the north-east. On April 19, LPR officials confirmed control over the village of Kremenaya. According to some reports, the village of Torskoye was taken under the LPR control.
The mop up operations continue in the villages.
Fighting continues in the south of Rubezhnoye and on the suburbs of Severodonetsk. No progress by any side was reported in Popasnaya where the AFU keep control over the west and north of the town.
On the Donetsk front lines, no advances were reported on April 19. Heavy artillery clashes continue from Popasnaya to Maryinka, where the DPR units are slowly pushing the AFU from their positions to the south of the village.
In the south of the Donbass region, in the area of Velikaya Novoselka, Russian troops have reportedly blocked the village from the west and entered the village of Vremyovka located on the outskirts of the town.
Russian and AFU positions near Kharkov remain unchanged. The situation in southern Ukraine also remains stable. In the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, the main front line run along Alexandrovka — Snigirevka — Velikaya Alexandrovka area. At the same time, the AFU positions in the Mykolaiv region are heavily pounded by Russian missiles.
One of the main battlefields in Ukraine is the city of Mariupol. While the mop up operation in the Primorskiy district reached the final stage, the major assault at the Azovstal plant was launched.
However, the offensive of the Russian and DPR Special Forces is interrupted by the ceasefire regime proclaimed by the Russian Ministry of Defence.
On April 19, the Azov militants and foreign mercenaries in the Azovstal were guaranteed the security if they lay down their weapons and surrender from the facility. The measures were also taken in order to give them the last chance to let civilians leave the facilities if there are still some taken in hostage.
No one left the Azovstal. Immediately after the end of the ceasefire regime, shelling on the facilities resumed. Meanwhile, Russian and DPR assault groups have moped up the residential area along the Taganrog Street, residential complex 1st quarter, microdistrict 6th section in Mariupol. Ukrainians were forced out of the industrial development east of the Unity Avenue. Clashes break out on the Pobedy Avenue right near the entrance of the Azovstal plant and in industrial buildings nearby.
The pause in hostilities allowed to evacuate 140 civilians from the buildings located near the Azovstal. They confirmed that there were still civilians left in the area, hiding in the basements.
As a result, the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed another ceasefire on April 20, with the same conditions.
There are still doubts if there are any civilians held hostage in the basements of the Azovstal. Unfortunately, it seems that the Azov militants and the Kiev regime are not willing to let them go out, as in this case they would confirm that the “cruel Russian invaders” secured humanitarian corridors and saved lives of Ukrainians, including soldiers. Kiev may only profit in case if the whole Azovstal is destroyed together with the remaining Nationalist and probably civilians inside. Then, the Kiev regime could follow its lies about the inhumane tactics of the Russian invaders.
At the same time, such Russian concessions are always perceived as weakness by the Kiev regime and inflict damage to the Russian troops on the battlefields.
In the city of Mariupol, bodies of the Ukrainian soldiers killed from behind were discovered in the seaport area. The victims had papers claiming their willingness to surrender on them. Thus, it was supposed that they were killed by their comrades when trying to surrender.
Strikes with high-precision weapons on the Ukrainian military facilities did not stop.
According to the Russian Defence Ministry, 2 strongholds in the Kalinovo-Popasnoye area and 6 areas of concentration of manpower and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of Mirnoye, Slavyansk and Popasnoye were hit on April 19. As a result, up to 180 personnel and 15 armored vehicles were destroyed. Near the village of Barvenkovo, the launcher of the Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system was destroyed.
FJB..
i like that you can see the stock photo watermarks on this spammers pic
your scum.
That’s one of Kolomoisky’s boiler room grunts that somehow escaped.
The Great Nazi Extinction Event
Who will the Ukrainian women marry if all of their men are dead? Any Brits want a Nazi Ukrainian wife? Russia should offer the Ukraine forces a role in the DPR forces for surrendering and putting down their weapons.
Don’t forget the orphans. Ukrainian mafia will sell them all. Tons of experienced in that
How much is a kidney these days worth in USA, Israel or EU? Due to abundance of goods, prices should go down a little bit. Albanians will be out of business with Serbian goods.
Tyahnybok did quite well in the organ trade in 2014-15 too.
The women will end up in Amsterdam windows and sexophone shows and the kids sold to Limey pedophiles.
the moskva crew will marry them LOL
AND YOU ARE JEALOUS ??…. You wanted a Tall and Strong Russian Sailor next to you in Bed ??
Brits love the nazis. And the terrorists. And the Wahabies (they created them asfter all). Brits had sent 20 Javelins and 50 NLAWs to Kosovo terrorists.
Screwy Brits…one day they’re supporting separatists and the next day they’re fighting them. How could anyone ever trust such deviants?
BoJo’s not the only Bozo in that island circus.
many reports the 5m Maidanistas are already creating trouble in the EU demanding more aid ( better housing, clothes, food) , protesting and harassing working Russians that have been working in the EU for years. Of course in the 5m refugees are many from the usual NATO bombed countries like Iraq and Afghnistan..
Unfortunately that would be like placing a foreign spy right in your midst. And, nobody in their right mind would want to get into a relationship with a Nazi scum.
Ukrainian women are chained in UK basements forced to give sexual favors for bread.
In Ukraine the draft is ALL males 18-60, and it has been illegal for some time to even leave the country so that no males can dodge the Kiev Regime draft. But there are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men in Russia and in EU that got out early when saw first round of drafts and realized Kiev were going to eventually scoop up all males.
Pretty solid effort,considering the others had nato and a host of other shoddy western collaborators to assist in preparing their nazi fortress from 7-8 years ago, using all kinds of human shields to boot?
good point. USA now boasting they are sending howitzers (18) and artillery locating equipment. What has NATO been doing for 8 years? Russia drove through Ukraine borders so easily there were traffic jams.
What has NATO been doing for 8 years?
Oh, don’t you know? They’ve been working on implementing Minsk II. It was just days away before those russkies invaded.
Almost time for USA to step in and beat some russian azz…
yawn…
It was the Ukro Nazi that killed ukrainians wearing white armbands. So US should step in and distroy the Ukro Nazi.
bla bla
Yeah, right. That’ll be the day. It’d be like shooting your best friend.
GAY TRANNY FAGGOT CRACKER DOG FUCKERS IN AMERICA STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TOILET TO USE.
RUSSIA IS SENDING THESE ASOV NAZI TRANNIES TO AMERICA TO RAPE YOUR CHILDREN.
RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! Try learning how to type you fucking moron. Oh, and suck my dick while you’re down there.
you embody what the pro russians stand for LOL
Even if, so what? it’s better than being a Hitler @ss-licker and Gestapo killer wannabe scum.
The USA = bunch of queers
Hahaha! Sounds like a Nazi Snoopy fantasy! :-)
Like they did with the Taliban, Hahahaha….
i see you are massive on copium
They are scared after the beating they got in Korea, Yemen, Somalia, Vietnam, Cuba, Nicaragua, Angola, Iraq, Afganistán…. USA just scares Movies Audiences you Dimwit
USA like to come in late like WWII and South Korea. The hard work done but they sweep in as rescuing heros to take the credit. Could happen, say 30% chance. Then the Baltics are back to Russia like the Donbass, and Poland is devastated, again!
USA intervened at the end of WWII not to “take credit” nor to “save lives”, but for a profit, an agenda: dominance over ex-european colony, money… or call it as you like it. Nowdays USA no need to intervene. They are already gaining a profit from exporting oil and weapon to EU. Meanwhile EU is brokening even more. USA is already winning man. The more this fight goes on, the better it is for USA. They literally have NO REASON to intervene to stop it.
When there are ten Ukies left, they’ll invite the Poles in to help occupy rump Ukraine. Poles are the very best lapdogs.
A prediction! Given: Russia can not lose against Ukraine, at least it will never admit his lose ( see the Moscow and Mariupol all because of Nato) The Russian propaganda must maintain victories and reverse all loses as victories, but the unrealistic hilarious propaganda is becoming more and more to be great joke. A reasonable person ( opposite Putin) capable to inform him self from both side can no more then smile with it unreal claims. So Russia is thinking ; we can not lose from Ukraine but if we lose from the mighty Nato it is no shame and we can tray to sell to be the victim. So next fase we will refer to Nato as or enemy and not to Ukraine!
When I look at recent USA operations I see that their azz were beaten all across the globe. I still remember how they ran away from Taliban after 20 years of war.
with same effects and results like in korea, vietnam or afghanistan? LOL
When they do win, they win by deception – like Clinton with UNSC Res 1244.
Prevailing winds are west to east in the US. A couple of nukes on DC and no one else would be threatened nor would we care. Maybe 5% of Americans would demand revenge. The rest of us would be, Meh.
Almost time for USA to step in and take some russian cock in the azz…
USA? They’re only good at killing civilians.
It’s more like a break after the first tactical failure, especially in Kyiv.
So the first round was won by Ukraine ( lot of people will be not happy here but it’s a fact we should be honest) now the second round begins and the most important I guess ” the Eastern battle”.
I think Russia will move to a higher level, the Ukrainian army is mainly concentrated in the east as you know. It’s going to be very violent and I think much more violent than before.
May this war/special operation end as soon as possible, peace between Ukraine and Russia, it’s a best thing we can wish for.
Yes, we should be honest. You are a fucktard who knows nothing of military tactics or strategy. 8 independent cantons in the south before the end of 2023. That will be your peace.
So you an military expert I guess, so for Kyiv is a big victory for Russia. Say it I want to laugh mister military Expert It’s a tactical or strategy the defeat of Kyiv ? Russia want to denazify Ukraine, for this you should to broke the Ukrainian government. The government is in Kyiv and Kyiv still standing. Oops what happens?
Why does Russia want to occupy cities and run Ukraine? Think about the cost. As bad the Kiev regime is, someone has to pay for everything and someone will also have to sign a surrender. If this was a true invasion, a war of conquest/elimination, every member of the Regime would have been dead on day one.
The balkanization of Ukraine! I like it. A fitting end, USA style.
Great passive aggressive logical fallacy. Well done. Russia tried to get a political settlement, and escalated as a result of the failure of the Kiev Klown Kabal to act in the interests of the Ukrainian people.
There was an agreement that Russia would withdrawal from around Kiev. Recall at the time Kiev had capitulated to almost every Russian demand. What was the result? 1) Bucha 2) Russia was shelled on the way out. 3) No peace agreement and a belligerent Kiev that talked about the “Russian Defeat.” So you see negotiations died on that day. I can’t get inside the heads of the people in the Kremlin. I can’t imagine that they would trust this regime given its history. Anyways, this treacherous action by Kiev will seal their doom. There will be no Ukraine left at all when it is all over.
Zelensky makes a snake in the grass look like a trustworthy partner.
Let the KKK run their Kosher Kielbasa Kiosks in Kiev, while the East enjoys its freedom.
How did Ukraine win anything? They’ve lost tens of thousands of troops according to their own documents but Elenksy said 2500, Still wanna believe whatever else this guy has said? You won’t blame anybody else for your stupidity then.
so you forgot about how russia withdrew from kiev and chenihiv regions, as well as around sumy, and mykoliav in the south, wow you really are more than blind
Pinning down reinforcements to the Donbass contact line. Mission Accomplished, and not the fake one Dubya strutted around over.
Simple they made Russia look fable, un capable, censored, oppressed, manipulated and a pussy militarily. Thats not a win that is worse is exposing it corrupt and fake non-strenght. That is a Mondial win of truth.
Because mission accomplished, blocking troops from moving east. They never stated a goal of occupying Kiev or Ukie. Where are you getting that BS?
CNN’s ‘military analysts’ of course. LOL
None of these Ukrops will talk about Zelensky. He is universally despised. The Jewish dwarf running things. Doesn’t exactly fit in with a racially pure country now does it?
love how this generates a bunch of hate from the pro russian deviants who will celebrate anything, even after the pathetic withdrawl of the russians in the north and a weak offensive that has started off badly in the east
It is just stupid to think 40,000 troops are going to seize a city of 3.5 Million defended by 100,000. They would have needed forces ten times the amount and would have needed to raze the city to rubble.
Here was the failure. Trusting Kiev with anything. Notice at the time Ukraine had almost capitulated on everything. Perhaps this was a ruse all along, but in any event the day of the withdrawal, the Russians were shelled and then we had the staged Bucha event, plus the capture, torture and execution of those Russian Paratroopers. There has been no negotiations since and there will not be until all the Ukrainian forces are destroyed.
You are a loser.
Yes it’s so funny. Before the war the pro Russians was like ” in 48 hours Ukraine is finish” 48 days later ukraine still here 😂
Nah, they never said that. But Poroshenko said that about Donbass. Remember?
On May 28th, 2014, the future President stated: “The ATO can’t and won’t last for two-three months. It has to and will last hours … We will soon see the efficiency of the anti-terrorist operation”.
70,000 hours and counting. LOL
it takes these useless russian invaders weeks to move a few inches against a cheap shotted weak military. waiting for russian scum to retreat when nato equipment arrives : ) no wonder they want to use nukes lol. no one believes their scum propaganda :)
Porcelian vibrations of aquatic pleasure deemed subsurvient to vintage medicines. Alas the viceroy calls upon the sage to report vague sensations against the platinum foyer. Paper bear licks paper taint in numerous circumstances. Suck ass bitch.
wasnt the moskva providing some aquatic pleasure lolll
Is that all you’ve got? Yesterday’s news moron.
A prediction!

That’s the problem there. The civilians in Azovstal are no hostages. They went there to take refuge from the Putin cockroaches just like every other civilian in Ukraine who has witnessed the Russian atrocities in Ukraine. Now they’re wondering if those women and children in Azovstal will become the next Russian atrocity.
That’s not what the civilians on the ground are saying dude. They’re all saying the AFU soldiers are using them as human shields, go watch all of Patrick Lancaster’s videos….every single civilian blames the AFU.
Pay no attention to Muhammad your Prophet. He is a child molester.
He’s a turkish merc…enough said.
Ukrainia is just the prelude to start the war.
The Russian Soldiers are the Paladins of the future. China should take lesson and cease the Taiwan issue.. NATO is arming Taiwan just the same way they are doing in Ukrainistan. The Chinese either do it now or later would be too late..
They’ll do it later. Probably with a nuke in the South China Sea as a warning. Then at various navies afterwards if the hint isn’t taken.
The Chinese just sitting there like fools. The minute the Ukraine operation started, they shoulda made a move on Taiwan. The West can’t handle two theaters simultaneously while dealing with the second largest economy.
If you haven’t noticed, the West has committed no troop to the Ukraine theater. Fucktard.
Dude, keep breathing man, it’s the only sign you’re alive. You’re a vegetable though, no brain
I’ve heard they’ve contributed plenty of poop though.
There are only two months a year where tides are favorable to a landing. They may go however Taiwan will not be a push over by any means. China would prefer another way.
You think a huge amphibious invasion from the sea is easy? Even China does not have enough such vessels to acheave that.
Best affirmation here. I agree.
China should not sail East, they should march West. 10 million troops on the Russian Western Border, a dagger pointed at the heart of the West.
Keep striking Kiev, they need to hear it.
this looks just like that article from the other day, plus a map of a small area, what the hell is going on, russian army is still garbage
Yet, you are losing!
Click “Refresh”. or Press Ctrl-R.
Moron.
Now that Russia is fighting an actual war they are defeating the #SystemPigs
Special Operation – Invade and take territory while claiming not to be invading (like p7ssies in character and p7ssies 4 life).
Can you imagine Russia’s fighting all of Western militaries single handedly and winning? What a good military exercise for the Russians before a showdown with NATO
Oh, you poor snowflake. Did the Russians not use the correct pronouns?
Here’s a tissue …
He sounds like more of a Bushtard. Snowflakes don’t openly bash jews. Not even the neoconniving nazi-kissing ones.
What’s the problem? We do it all the time.
Russia is a paper pussy. Israel stands with Ukraine and we will prosper. Time to take out some Russkis like the Palestinian trash.
a few nukes on zionististan, usa, england and brussels, and 99% of all worlds problems would be solved.
A prediction!

https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html According to this Russia lost an armor army already. Asking South Front to comment these information.
When russians will take Barvinkove and Bakhmut, the GAME is over. Now the first target is Popasnaya to be taken completely. There is no good prepared second line of defense for the ukronazi CIA scumbags. Need PINPOINT VOLUME FIRE all over those places. FAB needed, from 1500 to 5000 and from 10km+ altitude. There is open plain lands without any serious civilian ‘problem’. Just evaporate hundreds of banderist shithole rats in a large squadron formation and in the same time, north and south the pincers. And immediately a timed armor attack with infantry to take over the 12 meters depth Zefagot army historical locations….Just 50 FAB’s north and 50 FAB’s south and the job is DONE. Till now I don’t see any.
Looks like map in 2014, no change at all. Mistrals,starsteak,switchblade and fighter jets are on the way to ukraine – pentagon confirmed yesterday ^^
And what you mean can be done by those scrap from pentagon, probably the russians will destroy it on next day
just like 25.02 ? your propaganda claimed that all ukrainian anti-air systems has been destroyed ^^
The cauldrons are bigger. Much, much bigger.
Switchblades are nice. We can use them to slit the throats of POWs and any civilians that look suspicious.
See, here’s how it works, Jimmy. West gives Ukies more things that go boom, Russia makes even more boom boom. That way, everybody has a boomin’ good time.
Ukrop scum are starting to withdrawal from frontline positions. Paging Russian Aviation!!!!!!!
