International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

Summary of today on this thread:
  • A bunch of cheerleader videos
  • Snarky insults
And not one person posted a news report of the most significant event that happened today related to this war.

oh please...you are so incredibly bad faith here...

You are clearly pro Russia but you are feigning some weird neutrality and sympathy....you're ignoring or deflecting from Russian problems ...

You are casting doubt on everything .....because in your opinion everything is subjective or propaganda....unless Vladimir Vladimirovich personally says something is a certain way it can't possibly be trusted....

At least you admitted to being from one of Russian 'ethnic' republics and living in US...that's more than Stolen Valerino has done...he's still pretending to be a retired American army veteran...

What big news are we supposed to be discussing? I am guessing it's something negative towards Ukraine or Zelenskyy.....I thought we can't trust the news? Or can we trust the news only when it coincides with your opinions/views? Is it that Dementia Don said Ukraine can't win and Ukraine should give up its territories or is it something a little better?

No, he is not. You are.
You are clearly pro Russia.
...and you are clearly pro-Ukraine.
You are casting doubt on everything.
No, you are the one casting doubt on what he and I write regarding Russia and Ukraine.
You try so hard to garner support from your little friends in this thread.
At least you admitted to being from one of Russian 'ethnic' republics and living in US...that's more than Stolen Valerino has done...he's still pretending to be a retired American army veteran...
🤣
What difference does it make where one is from? You are still the same idiot who enjoys insulting people and goes crying off to a moderator when you get insulted back.
Or can we trust the news only when it coincides with your opinions/views?
Isn't that what you have been doing?

Frontline report: Mission Failed – Russia’s 100,000-strong offensive crumbles before Pokrovsk​


Russia’s main summer offensive has officially failed, with Ukrainian forces launching clearing operations after repelling mechanized assaults near Pokrovsk. Since August 21, nearly 13,945 Russian soldiers have been neutralized, while dozens of tanks and armored vehicles lie destroyed across the battlefield. Putin’s deadline to capture the entire Donbas before winter has passed unfulfilled.

Frontline report: Mission Failed – Russia’s 100,000-strong offensive crumbles before Pokrovsk






Today, there are interesting updates from the Pokrovsk direction.

Here, the main Russian mission for the summer campaign has officially failed, in direct violation of Putin's order and deadline.

Instead of taking control of the entire Donbas, the Russians lost thousands of soldiers and hundreds of armored vehicles without being able to even capture Pokrovsk.

Ukrainian clearing operations target trapped Russian forces​

Ukrainian troops have launched a clearing operation across the Dobropillia sector, especially around Volodymyrivka, which became a graveyard for Russian armor during the recent failed mechanized assaults. After days of relentless fighting, dozens of Russian tanks and armored vehicles now lie scattered and burning across the fields.




Ukrainian infantry, supported by reconnaissance and FPV drones, are searching through the grey zone, targeting surviving Russians hiding in basements and bushes.

Those who can still walk are fleeing, but not eastward toward their own lines, rather deeper into the salient toward Nykanorivka and Zatyshok, seeking refuge among the already encircled Russian forces that have been trapped for weeks.


Ukrainian soldiers report that this chaotic flight is only refilling the pocket with more troops, sealing their own fate. With limited ammunition, minimal food, and no escape routes, these Russians are essentially walking into their own death trap.

Every additional Russian inside the pocket makes it easier for Ukrainians to locate and destroy them under the constant drone fire control.

Nearly 14,000 Russian casualties since August​

The Ukrainian General Staff reports steady progress, recapturing several square kilometers and consolidating control over Volodymyrivka and Maiak.

Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, who recently visited the front, confirmed that counter-sabotage and clearance operations are ongoing to eliminate Russian reconnaissance groups and isolated units still hiding in the area. Syrskyi said that his forces will remain active after holding a field briefing with the commanders overseeing the Dobropillia counteroffensive.

Since August 21, Ukrainian troops have neutralized nearly 13,945 Russian soldiers, with over 8,400 killed, 5,400 wounded, and 124 captured. The operation is now entering its consolidation phase, with units securing logistics routes and fortifying newly regained ground.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones continue hunting down stragglers and supply vehicles, ensuring no new Russian reinforcements can reach the front.

Russia's strategic narrative shattered​


This renewed Ukrainian advance has shattered Russia's carefully staged narrative.

The summer offensive, touted as the operation that would finally secure the rest of Donbas for the Russians, was supposed to start with the capture of Pokrovsk, a key logistical hub.

From there, Russian generals planned to swing northeast to outflank the Ukrainian defensive belt stretching from Kostiantynivka to Sloviansk. Over 100,000 troops were committed to this goal, backed by months of talks promising swift results.

Instead, the Russian army has failed to achieve a single strategic objective, only capturing fields, tree lines, and isolated settlements across the front.

Depleted reserves and devastating drone warfare​

Notably, for the first time in the war, Moscow launched a major summer offensive with almost no tank reserves, relying instead on motorcycles and refurbished relics from storage.

However, the expanded Ukrainian drone control has rendered even those useless, striking deep into Russian formations up to 25 kilometers behind the front.

Meanwhile, precision strikes by HIMARS, long-range drones, and missiles have devastated Russian supply depots, fuel convoys, and command posts. Every ton of destroyed ammunition pushes resupply back by weeks, paralyzing Russian operations.

Putin's deadline expires in humiliation​

Even the brief Russian advance toward Dobropillia ended in humiliation, and what was supposed to be a breakthrough that needed to take Pokrovsk into a pocket ended in disaster.

The failure could not have come at a worse time for Russian high command, as Putin personally set the Donbas capture deadline at before the winter, with Russian political leadership boasting that the Russian army would complete the mission within months.

Campaign stalled as offensive season ends​

Overall, with the autumn rains turning the battlefield into mud, and Ukrainian artillery and drones maintaining total fire control, Russia's Donbas campaign has stalled completely.

The offensive season will soon be over, and Russia's long-term goal to “liberate” Donbas is once again out of reach.

All Putin's army achieved was to dig itself deeper into the stalemate, literally and politically, as Ukraine's counteroffensives push forward and another of his promises turns into dust.

Now, even the American President has acknowledged the worsening situation of the Russians and is openly discussing Ukraine's willingness to counterattack with stronger military support."

Like you.
You are the village idiot.
Even though you are for Ukraine, you are not very popular in this thread. Should stick to the Israeli/Hamas thread. Have you gone and cried off to a moderator yet?
 
Of course Ukraine has suffered minimal casualties (less than 500 in 3 years of war) and are about to push Russia back to its border. Ukraine, the invinsible imaginary Army. Propaganda would have you believe that Ukraine can even defeat the American Army with its tiny number of soldiers who are deserting the Ukrainian Army daily.

Big strike from Russia towards Kiev next month. 2,500 missiles and drones in one single night. Followed by the same in December and January. This should bring Zelensky to the table. If not, Russia will just keep increasing civilian deaths like the US did in Germany and Japan. Both countries eventually surrendered. Trump and Europe will not do anything about it. Not worth a nuclear war.

My opinion:

We don't know what the actual casualty ratio is.

You have 3 contingencies; (1) casualty ratio is in Ukraine's favor, (2) casualty ratio is in Russia's favor, (3) casualty ratio is even.

Even with wars that happened decades or centuries ago, we we don't know actual casualty ratios.

That's part of the reason that nobody knows what's going to happen. We're just making inferences.

Geniuses on here that don't have enough time to read one page articles (but spam cheerleader videos) have it all figured out too.

They'll try to shit on you endlessly too for not being an overopinionated douchebag.
