Ukraine doesn't have a navy and Russia isn't even using theirs. Sinking Russian ships in the Black Sea has absolutely zero tactical or strategic value.
This is dumb. Russia used its Navy extensively at the beginning of the war to threaten Odessa and long after that to launch missiles and blockade Ukrainian ports. Now they can't do that and Ukrainian grain exports are nearly back to pre-war levels. That has huge economic and strategic implications.

The russian bots repeating the same points over and over again here is almost hilarious. According to them, Adviika has fallen 10+ times now, and 100,000 ukrainian marines smoked every day.
Meanwhile, in the real news, the RusVol russian rebels have reinforced the coke plant and are engaging russian conscripts at close range. Some areas of Ukrainian held territory are retreating in a controlled manner. 17 pieces of russian armor and artillery posted destroyed today alone in russian telegram forum “Z SOLDIERS”.
The Russian warship sunk on the 14th is the 25th major warship sunk by the ukrainians, not including the diesel-electric submarine in drydocks at Crimea that was destroyed by Ukrainian Su-25’s in an airstrike late last year.
Apparently, Baghdad Bob has a sister in Avdiivka.

Baghdad Bob's sister. Lol. That was good.
As a vet and current reservist I can tell you, Ukraine does not have strong ground forces or the political ability to out beg Russia's production capability. In the best of times, all the support Ukraine got never matched Russia's output. And those best of times are over. Ukraine will never have the advantage. Hard reality.
Putler keeps murdering his opposition but Donny says he's a straight up kinda guy. Maybe a Trump admin will give Vladolph some ordinance to massacre some more kids and grannies. Meanwhile Tucker piddles his panties with the thought that Ukraine could fight for their own free state after the U.S.s greatest hairdo sat down for two hours of the most boring yet looney steppe history delivered by an impartial, of rather bloodthirsty dictator.
The lesson learned by Syrskyi, after making the same mistake in Bakhmut and now Avdiivka is, don't send reinforcements. Let cities fall to Russia to save lives. Standing and fighting results in loss. Ukraine is not able to stand and fight with Russia.
Syrskyi states they will return to Avdiivka. They won't.
They never returned to Bakhmut or Mariupol. Bakhmut outskirts keep losing more and more territory far outside the city now, overtaking new villages and soon cities as Russian control keeps spreading outward. Syrskyi's evacuation came way too late for Avdiivka. There are thousand of trapped soldiers still. The Coke plant is full of Azov who are stuck. It is the Azovstal steel plant - Mariupol fiasco all over again, plus thousands of others.
This is a COMPLETE disaster for Ukraine.
They're running. Avdeevka has fallen. Isolated pockets of AFU troops remain in the city.
Fascinating you do not deny N a z i problem in Ukraine.
Ukraine never was a real country, west Russia.
You were saying...

What was the last city Ukraine managed to win in battle and take from the Russians? Ukraine lost Mariupol, Bakhmut, and now Avdiivka. I can't recall a city Ukraine has beaten Russia in when they squared off in head-tohead battle.
Ukraine’s military chief says he’s withdrawing troops from the city of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine, where outnumbered defenders have battled a Russian assault for four months.

What's wrong with Ukraine's military?
Ukraine never had any chance to win this war.
It's a US proxy war intended to weaken Russia at the expense of hundreds of thousand of Ukrainian and Russian lives.
Only some are withdrawing. Others not so much. Those that survived say they were left to die by their command. They surrender so quickly because they can’t trust their leaders.

The people who run America are sick
They sure are. Ukrainian men have absolutely zero interest in dying for this War, and cowardly Americans who want to continue killing them are the ones who ned to go to the front lines. Anna Paulina Luna has the best bill in Congress. let’s see them and all the Biden supporters quit being cowards and put their bodies where their mouths are? I’m on record saying I will gladly buy any of you a ticket to the front lines and am capable of arranging it. I only ask for pics of dead bodies or, if you get your leg blown off, a pic of that will suffice as well.
Which would you prefer: "Nearly" starving to death or actually dying?
You are the moral low ground. If Ukraine hadn't started the war, nothing would be happening. And you wouldn't lose all your hypocritical points.
Know your place, idiot.
So, you can get all sanctimonious about some doctored posts on twitter
Sanctimonious for Ukraine's confirmation that Avdiivka is now Russia.
No sympathy for you war-starting neonazi fascists. 10 years of terror is catching up with them now. They deserve to be humiliated. Congratulations to Russia and justice for all the victims of 10 years of Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk city from Avdiivka.
Have your customary morning coffee and seig heils.
Of course, I will only send one of you cowards who decides to turn brave. you can be the Let’s Run front lines spokesperson. Report to us how wonderful your day is going, and you can send one Ukrainian man back home where they want to be, since you are so encouraged to fight
The House takes a 2 week recess to let the futility of future battles work against Ukraine funding. They will return at the end of February with a better understanding of how useless Ukraine is against Russia.
