Looks like journalists have no more safety issues with reporting from the front

And Ukrainians are getting comfortable in their new holdings

Someone is definitely taking their sweet time

Looking at it from here it's starting to look awfully a lot like 1995:



Whatever Ruskies plan on doing (if they plan anything at all) they might start considering getting around doing it

If what he says is true, i.e this operation was conducted against a planned Russian withdrawal by the 30k Ukrainian strike reserve then you have to ask the question. What plans does Russia have for the withdrawal? If I look at it rationally, why dick around with Karkhov? Just mass troops in Belarus and cut off Western Ukraine. Troops from Belarus head south, while the troops in the south head north through Odessa. Anything else is a waste of blood and treasure. This will be fast as supply lines would be cut pretty quickly.

It's a big lie, they wrote articles on corruption of Serdyukov

Guess where he works now? Rostec with Putin buddy Chemezov

This was a cabal , they did this SMO like a cabal, no questions asked, and they bungled it

What was the point of the military reform? I thought the money spent was good because it was allocated correctly without corruption

But this army cannot stop an ex soviet , NATO trained cannon fodder so called "largest in europe" army

Now we know why a dry dock was finally built after kuznetsov spent a good portion of 15 to 20 years at dock

Now we know why the construction schedule for military projects is a joke

Now we know why there was no counterattack in Kharkov

These clowns sold the USSR, best army ever, for this corrupt shit that could not protect the Russian people in Donbass and in Eastern Ukraine

Alexander Lebed, Lev Rokhlin, and all those generals that spoke in 90s and early 2000s were completely right of the beastiality of Putin and his regime

Zyuganov himself says we should mobilize

But peskov and the statesmen throw it off the table

I'm voting KPRF , ain't it funny how shit work out?

We've been told that fight against corruption was successful against Gaidar , Chubais, Kudrin and Niabiullina

The scum keep running the show , and all patriots ? Dead and gone  

As Chernomyrdin said  "We wanted the best, but it turned out like always."

The enemy is stretching the reserves along the flanks (Kherson, Kharkov) exposing the center (Donetsk).

Judging from the noise, Nato has put Ukraine uniforms on a foreign army and brought it up to the front.

And troops in Odessa come from where exactly? Plus, for those huge operations number of troops would have to be much bigger.

The troops to take Odessa are already there, just just need to finish grinding up the defense. If they launch an assault from Belarus to close the border the collapse in Donbass will happen quickly, then those troops fighting there can attack Odessa, with a closed border and lack of supply Odessa should fall quite quickly.
