Official Russia vs Ukraine War Thread

You left out the most important part: “Russian-appointed official says”. Let me break out my RussoNazi to English translator... “Many RussoNazis sh*tstains got turned into fertilizer by the heroic Ukrainians.”

The only good Russian soldier is a DEAD Russian soldier. Every DEAD Russian solider is (1) a testimony to the sacrifices of Ukrainians risking their lives defending their country from invasion and occupation and (2) another victory for freedom, democracy and, yes indeed, the American way of life.

And on the latter, you are either with us or against us. You have chosen very poorly. You haven't yet renounced your U.S. citizenship like your scumbaggitized America-hating buddy Lolly yet, but you're inching your way there. Will you be able to handle another 4 years of a Democrat president without trying to sabotage your own country? We shall see.

German media also confirming Ukraine losing this war. NaziUkraine has lost land. Russia has lost none. Every media outlet is confirming this right now.

"...it was unclear whether the alleged attack was part of Ukraine's long-awaited counteroffensive to recapture territories taken by Russia."

Ukraine updates: Russia says attack in Donetsk thwarted – DW – 06/05/2023

It's unclear if the alleged attack was part of Ukraine's long-awaited counteroffensive. Meanwhile, a pro-Ukraine group said it would transfer captured Russian soldiers from Belgorod to Kyiv. DW has the latest.

Says the guy who's been claiming Ukraine is winning the war...

Do the math on those 200,000 casualties you absolute imbecile.

The war isn't even 16 months old.

200,000 casualties would be more than 400 casualties per day.

60,000 killed would be 125 killed per day.

It simply isn't happening.

I love watching the RussoNazis yell at each other on Russian State TV. Cecci says that Putin is eliminating extremism in Russia. These clowns prove otherwise. Can't wait to see every last one of them hanging from the gallows. I'll gladly pay 10 hryvnia to piss on their graves when they're gone.

After a year and half, Russia can't be removed from american certified Nazi Ukraine.

Why not?

If you actually read the article, you would find that it is actually a much more nuanced issue. Ukrainian soldiers use symbols like the skull and crossbones and black sun because they were symbols of the Ukrainian resistance during World War II. Ukrainians see a direct line between the fight against Stalin and then Hitler to today fight against Putin to liberate their country. Ukrainians do not see a connection between WWII resistance iconography and Nazi iconography because Ukrainians lost 1,650,000 fighting the Nazis with over 5,000,000 civilian casualties. The Nazis occupied all of Ukraine. While Ukrainians at first were glad to see the perpetrators of the Holodomor (Stalin/USSR) beaten back by the Nazis, they later turned on the Nazis and fought to liberate the country from Hitler's grasp. The Nazis were equally if not more brutal on Ukraine than Stalin was prior to WWII. The Nazis burned thousands of villages as part of the "Generalplan Ost", the strategy of extermination and enslavement of the Slavic peoples pursued by the Third Reich. This was in conjunction with a plan in 1943 to destroy Ukraine's agriculture by confiscating farming equipment and either moving them to Germany or destroying them. Peasants were forbidden by the Nazis from sowing their winter crops. So, Ukrainians see no reason to bow to some people on the internet in the west and ban symbols of the Ukrainian resistance in WWII because the idea of Ukrainians being pro-Nazi is flatly absurd because Ukrainians suffered as much under Hitler as any country during WWII.

Nazi Symbols on Ukraine’s Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History

By Thomas Gibbons-Neff

Troops’ use of patches bearing Nazi emblems risks fueling Russian propaganda and spreading imagery that the West has spent a half-century trying to eliminate.

From the article you posted:

Prigozhin admits that Ukraine successfully take Berkhivka, a settlement north of Bakhmut calling it a "disgrace."

Pro-Ukrainian Russian Volunteer Corps captures several soldiers in Belgorod.

Energy facility in Belgorod on fire after drone attack.

Prigozhin accuses Russian MOD forces of mining retreat routes out of Bakhmut. (Prigozhin is now saying that Russia has lost control over Bakhmut)

And while Russia claims to have successfully defending a Ukraine offensive near Donetsk, I would not take the report very seriously as it also claims that Gen. Gerasimov was at the front line commanding troops against the Ukraine attack. That is clearly propaganda in response to the constant lambasting that RU's MOD forces have received from Prigozhin. Gerasimov would not be within 1,000 km of hostilities in Ukraine.

It does appear that Ukraine's counteroffensive is finally underway. It looks like the focus of the counteroffensive will be to liberate a swath of territory in the south from Melitopol to Mariupol in order to cut RU's land bridge between Crimea and the eastern front. That very well may be the plan for the entire counteroffensive as a success would set the stage for another offensive to retake Crimea and Donetsk/Luhansk with key supply lines cut.

My whole Telegram feed is full of pro-Russian channels reporting Russian forces losing towns left and right in Ukraine and Russia, including Novodonets'ke, Berkhivka, and Novaya Tavolzhanka. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may be the single greatest strategic blunder in the history of human warfare.

Which pro Russian channels are those? I would like to see them.

Rybar, for one. Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported the loss of Novaya Tavolzhanka.

Ukraine's summer offensive started. This isn't surprising. They will tire themselves out and then the Russians will start their summer offensive and kill whoever's left.

It will be a disaster for Ukraine but that won't stop the dumbest people alive from declaring victory for Ukraine...
