The next 3 months are going to be critical for Russia. 100% Ukraine is going to make a play for Melitapol. If they can can cut the land route and put the Kerch Straight Bridge into artillery range the situation for Russia in Crimea is going to become grim very quickly.

Even in my wildest dreams I never thought I would write this.

Ukraine could end the war with the full restoration of its pre 2014 borders.

 

[GoPro]

I'm not saying they will, I'm saying they can, and that the UAF probably also is cautious with that.
Although with how it seems the Russians desperately lack bodies for a regular army, I'm not sure how well they fare for special units, I suspect there are issues staffing air defense since it takes longer to learn the platform then say, an AK.
I am quite suprised however the Russians haven't been using OSA launchers. Yeah it's old and from the fucking 70s, but so is the Buk and it is much more mobile.

Did Russians ever use them? Aren't OSAs made in the Balkans? Russian allies are very hesitant to help. When they do, that help is very limited. If Serbians were to send OSAs to Russia it could get in the way of their negotiations with EU and kill the possible ascension.

Only allies Russia can count on so far are Iran and North Korea. Even they deny the assistance as much as possible and only started to sell weapons recently. Outside of them, other Russian allies provide minuscule amounts of outdated tech at exorbitant prices, and gorge themselves on heavily discounted Russian oil. To make matters worse, buyers like India and Saudis use some of these savings to aid Ukraine and make more weapon deals with the west.

The political realignment is already shifting. Notice how Russia stopped threatening to use "all available measures" once China came out and said they don't want to see Nuclear Weapons used in Ukraine?

Every country in Asia is watching the geostrategic paradigm get run through a buzz saw in real time. The only question on everyone's mind is just how bad Russias losses actually are. If they are as bad as its starting too look, quite a few countries that have relied on Russia to maintain stability in Asia are going to start changing their posture.

Putin HAS to end this war soon, or he risks a second collapse. And this time there won't be any recovery like when the USSR went down. The problem is there is nothing he can offer that Ukraine can accept.

I said at the start of this war. It takes one side to start a war and two sides to finish it. Ukraine has to come to terms with Russia, and since they are winning the only terms Zelensky can accept that won't get him shot by his own people is Russia returning to the pre 2014 borders.

But if Putin accepts those terms he will get shot instead. Russia needs to win a decisive battle. And soon.

You can tell it's bullshit because sovereign nations don't stash their foreign aid on a crypto exchange.

Only El Salvador somewhat did it but most of the bitcoin they collected is still in their central bank if I remember correctly, but I doubt Ukraine could have done it, it took the salvadorans almost a year to set it up, I doubt Ukraine could have been able to do much with the money given that most of the money they received is used by the MIC in the US and UK to pump out more weapons to send to them, the few billion they received went to salaries and to keep their currency somewhat afloat, given that it rapidly depreciated when the war started but seems to be losing value at a slower rate now

To stop the shitpoasting, Ukraine needs to take a large city every other day, it's the only way to make the Zs depressed enough

Give it time I guess, now that they control kherson, they'll probably deploy those units to other fronts given that it's difficult to cross the river at this point since every artillery in the region will destroy any crossing

Just post the link to the gay porn shit bro. No need to butter that toast...

Which one, I keep seeing new vids posted about the gay russian army every week

The problem is, it would have been good military thinking had they abandoned Kherson as soon as the bridges started getting hit. They doubled down on a military mistake for months, and have decided to correct it after the damage was done. Them pulling troops into Kherson cost them Kharkiv and will cost them Luhansk because the northern supply lines are within Ukrainian artillery range. Even the most pro-Ukrainian armchair strategists were saying that Russia should leave Kherson. Months ago. Russia has decided to hit the brakes when they've already drove off the cliff. It might be the correct course of action, but it's too fucking late.

But Ukraine doesn't need the bridges to cross the river, they already are on the left bank in Zaporizhzhia. Everyone and their mother was predicting that Ukraine would not attempt a dangerous river crossing, they'd just push towards Melitopol.

But he also allowed Ukraine to shorten their line. The decision was sound, but all the advantages Russia gets are also advantages they give back to Ukraine.

I don't blame the russians too much for doubling down on Kherson, given that months ago abandoning it would have put Crimea at risk as Ukraine got additional artillery equipment and drones, now that they spent quite a good amount of it, the russians are probably gonna bring up artillery to defend the area and hope that those 3 hundred thousand and dropping mobilized reserves can help plug the games in lughansk, zapharozia and donetsk

 

[ArthuriusMartyrius]

If so, Pushkin pushed their shit in.

That is pretty retarded though, Pushkin was a brilliant playright and supporter of liberty in the Russian Empire who got exiled because of multiple clashes with the Tsar and his government. Funnily enough, the Soviets didn't like him too much either. Not sure if there's a particular reason why he's got a bust in Zhytomyr.

Pushkin was a massive cocksucker for Russian supremacy who had an inferiority complex because of his black great-grandfather and tried to compensate by being the biggest simp in existence for the Russian Empire and shitting on every non-Russian ethnicity out there while ethnic Russians shat on him and his wife outright hated him and cheated on him with a French officer who later killed Pushkin in a duel after the latter challenged him in a fit of beta rage. His support of "liberty" was the kind that the Decembrist Uprising was pursuing, which is to say not any kind of liberty the average peasant would support.

So yeah, I totally see why Ukrainians would hate the guy.

I do. Russia got absolutely curb stomped in the Kharkiv region because of their double down on holding Kherson city. Now two months later they give up Kherson without a fight and put Crimea in Artillery range.

You have to wonder how the Russian front line soldiers are feeling at this point. For the last 8 months it's been one fiasco after another. What are they going to do when Ukraine makes its inevitable push for melitopol? Stand and fight? With what? Russia has slaughtered mobiks and penal legions around Kherson and Bakhmut for no appreciable gains. The contract soldiers have for their part been defeated at Kiev, defeated at Kharkiv, and defeated at Izium. In the span of 8 MONTHS.

And the Ukrainian Army, far from being an exhausted force is more powerful today then it was when this war started. The same cannot be said for the Russian Army.

Show of hands. When the Zaporizhia offensive starts, does anyone, ANYONE, think the Russian Army will hold the Azov Coast?

 

[Hell on Earth]

DPR Sparta dropping bomblets on Ukrainians north of Opytne, horrifying stuff.

Having thermal shielded tents or at least top cover are going to be of massive importance in future conflicts.

Оперативна інформація станом на 18.00 11.11.2022 щодо російського вторгнення

Речник Генерального Штабу Збройних Сил України Олександр Штупун -

Слава Україні! Триває двісті шістдесят перша доба героїчного протистояння Української нації російському широкомасштабному вторгненню.

Сили оборони продовжують звільнення українських земель на Херсонському напрямку. В ході успішних наступальних дій передові підрозділи наших військ в деяких місцях вже дійшли до правого берега Дніпра. Тривають заходи з виявлення та знищення противника в низці населених пунктів. З міркувань безпеки операції офіційне оприлюднення результатів буде надано згодом.

Противник зосереджує зусилля на стримуванні дій Сил оборони на окремих напрямках, удосконалює фортифікаційне обладнання оборонних рубежів на лівому березі Дніпра та на півночі тимчасово окупованої території АР Крим.

На Волинському та Поліському напрямках обстановка без суттєвих змін. Республіка білорусь й надалі підтримує збройну агресію російської федерації проти України, надаючи їй інфраструктуру, територію та повітряний простір. Триває формування російсько-білоруського угруповання військ на території республіки білорусь. Зберігається загроза завдання противником ракетних, а також авіаційних ударів з території та повітряного простору цієї країни.

На інших напрямках ворог здійснював обстріли:
на Слобожанському напрямку – з артилерії різних типів, в районах населених пунктів Анискине, Бологівка, Вільхуватка, Огірцеве та Стрілеча Харківської області;

на Бахмутському напрямку – з танків, мінометів, ствольної та реактивної артилерії, в районах населених пунктів Андріївка, Бахмут, Бахмутське, Білогорівка, Майорськ, Нью-Йорк та Яковлівка Донецької області;
на Авдіївському напрямку – з танків та всього спектру артилерії, в районах населених пунктів Авдіївка, Веселе, Красногорівка, Мар’їнка, Невельське та Первомайське Донецької області;
на Новопавлівському та Запорізькому напрямках – з танків, мінометів, ствольної та реактивної артилерії, в районах понад 30 населених пунктів. Серед них Богоявленка, Велика Новосілка, Водяне, Вугледар і Новопіль на Донеччині та Гуляйполе, Малі Щербаки і Ольгівське Запорізької області.

За уточненою інформацією, в районі населеного пункту Дніпровка Запорізької області підтверджено знищення ворожого гелікоптера Мі-8.

В районі міста Енергодар уражено пункт управління ворога – загинуло понад 50 окупантів а більш як 40 – поранено. Також знищено гелікоптер Ка-52.

В результаті точних ударів Сил оборони по штабу російських окупаційних військ у населеному пункті Червоний Маяк Херсонської області понад 30 окупантів загинуло, знищено 2 танки та 4 вантажівки.

Українська авіація протягом поточної доби завдала 5 ударів по районах зосередження особового складу, озброєння та військової техніки ворога.

Воїни ракетних військ і артилерії Сил оборони за поточну добу уразили пункт управління, 2 райони зосередження живої сили, озброєння і військової техніки, 2 склади боєприпасів та 3 інші важливі військові об’єкти противника.

Віримо у Збройні Сили! Разом переможемо! Слава Україні!

Operational information as of 18.00 on 11.11.2022 regarding the Russian invasion

Spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Shtupun

Glory to Ukraine! The two hundred and sixty-first day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian nation to the large-scale Russian invasion continues.

Defense forces continue to liberate Ukrainian lands in the Kherson direction. In the course of successful offensive actions, advanced units of our troops have already reached the right bank of the Dnieper in some places. Measures to identify and destroy the enemy in a number of settlements are ongoing. Due to the safety of the operation, the official release of the results will be provided at a later date.

The enemy is concentrating its efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces in certain directions, improving the fortification equipment of the defensive lines on the left bank of the Dnieper and in the north of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. At the same time, it conducts offensive operations in the Bakhmut, Avdiiv and Novopavliv directions.

During the current day, the enemy launched 3 missile and 9 air strikes, carried out more than 10 attacks from rocket salvo systems.

Areas of populated areas of Kharkiv, Donetsk, Vinnytsia, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions suffered enemy attacks.

In the Volyn and Poliske directions, the situation has not changed significantly. The Republic of Belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, providing it with infrastructure, territory and airspace. The formation of the Russian-Belarusian grouping of troops on the territory of the Republic of Belarus continues. There is still a threat of the enemy launching missile and air strikes from the territory and airspace of this country.

The enemy shelled in other directions:
in the Slobozhansk direction - from artillery of various types, in the areas of the settlements of Aniskine, Bologhivka, Vilkhuvatka, Ohirtseve and Strelecha of the Kharkiv region;
in the Kupyansk and Lymansk directions - from tanks and artillery of various calibers, in the areas of the settlements of Berestov in the Kharkiv region and Myasozharivka, Novoselivske, Nevske and Stelmakhivka in the Luhansk region;
in the Bakhmut direction - from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, in the areas of Andriivka, Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Belogorivka, Mayorsk, New York and Yakovlivka settlements of the Donetsk region;
in the Avdiyiv direction - from tanks and the entire range of artillery, in the areas of Avdiyivka, Vesele, Krasnohorivka, Maryinka, Nevelske and Pervomaiske settlements of the Donetsk region;
in the Novopavlovsk and Zaporizhia directions - from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, in the areas of more than 30 settlements. Among them are Bogoyavlenka, Velyka Novosilka, Vodyane, Vugledar and Novopil in Donetsk region and Gulyaipole, Mali Shcherbaki and Olhivske in Zaporizhzhia region.

According to detailed information, the destruction of an enemy Mi-8 helicopter was confirmed in the area of the settlement of Dniprovka, Zaporizhzhia region.

In the area of the city of Energodar, an enemy control post was hit - more than 50 occupants were killed and more than 40 were wounded. A Ka-52 helicopter was also destroyed.

As a result of accurate strikes by the Defense Forces on the headquarters of the Russian occupying forces in the settlement of Chervony Mayak, Kherson Region, more than 30 occupants were killed, 2 tanks and 4 trucks were destroyed.

During the current 24 hours, the Ukrainian aviation has carried out 5 strikes on areas where the enemy's personnel, weapons and military equipment are concentrated.

During the current day, soldiers of the missile troops and artillery of the Defense Forces hit the control post, 2 areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, 2 ammunition warehouses and 3 other important military objects of the enemy.

We believe in the Armed Forces! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!

"In the area of the city of Energodar, an enemy control post was hit - more than 50 occupants were killed and more than 40 were wounded. A Ka-52 helicopter was also destroyed."

I see a few US news outlets claiming that in that hit there was a Major-General that was KIA, but I can't find any record of name or unit they belong to so I'm calling BS on that.

Jimmy Dore is a damn clown. I remember when he was on TYT and he was so fucking smug.
Also, the Minsk peace accords are dead. It was permanent destroyed on 24/2.
Anyone who bring it up, is a moron.

Apparently there are Ruskis who genuinely think Chinaman might come and fight in this war for them. And they got baited by the chinese airsoft team.

There's not even an imaginary universe in which China will do anything but laugh from the sidelines at dumb whiteys killing eachother.

what's the story here? russian fifth column inside ukraine hunting down deserters and turncoats to make an example of them or something?

//also his story is weird. talks about getting jumped and kidnapped while "walking around in kyiv" but i don't think prisoners of war can do things such as walking around in cities alone, they're generally locked inside their prison camps, no?

 

[Delicious Diversity]

People were saying the same thing after the failed Kiev offensive and subsequent messy retreat. Scaling down was supposed to improve Russian grip on the eastern and southern regions, and make successful Ukrainian offensives impossible. Then Ukraine launched Kharkiv offensive and ran Russians out. That was supposedly good for Russian control in the remaining regions as they could now concentrate forces and ensure that ones in Kherson can keep land access to Crimea safe. Then Ukraine began another offensive and Russian forces retreated again.
What makes you think that this time will be different?


Most Russia simps who used to frequent this thread already retreated.

Agreed. Ukraine has demonstrated (with the help of superior Western arms) a consistent ability to suppress Russian logistics routes, isolate Russian forces, and either destroy them or force a retreat. The only period of static warfare, during the summer, was a period of Ukrainian mobilisation. Right now with the recapture of Kherson and damage to the Kerch bridge the only viable supply route to Crimea (via Donbass and Zaporizhia Oblast) is within artillery range. Ukraine is in a good position to isolate Russian forces on the peninsula.

If they can push south into Zaporizhia Oblast and retake Melitopol, they have a real shot at cutting off Crimea and slowly retaking the peninsula. Seems like the logical next target, and it would be a huge enough symbolic achievement to probably topple Putin's administration and end the war. Of course in that scenario there is always the risk that Putin is replaced by hardliners who instead choose to mobilise for total war and even deploy nuclear weapons, so that's not an automatic good outcome for us or Ukraine.

In any case I don't expect a forever trench war or anything like that. Another slow period, perhaps, as both sides reorient their forces for their expected next moves in the aftermath of recent events. Geography does not favour a static defensive war for Russia, their lines are extended in the worst direction for that (south and west) and they are learning the hard way that they don't have the numbers and material for this war.

Hohols like shrinkwrap, but Wagner likes sledgehammers, so it's anyone's guess.

It's all the West. Ukraine is playing War in tutorial mode.

Russia is so fucked they are being beaten by an enemy that is running a remote training exercise.

 

[Beak Thing]

That being said it sure has been fun watching the "there totally is a secret peace deal to split ukraine between the west and russia being worked out guiz which is why we appear to be being routed yet again" narratives spread like wildfire in russian internet and among professional shills around the internet. Methinks some wishful thinking is at play here

You'd think they'd take a step back and wonder if that sort of move would ever be a good idea. I mean, Molotov-Ribbentrop worked out so well for them the last time...

Just don't see that happening. Suggest that would require far more professionalism and competence than Russia has shown so far. Their shit is beyond fucked up. As you have alluded to, the more the Ukrainians get their shit together, and the better they get, the worse the Russians do. Morale is high with the Ukrainians, very low with the Russians.

Folks, suggest checking out "1420" on YouTube. Most days, young people with balls of steel interview Russians on the streets of Moscow, other cities, and towns out in the boonies, re the war and related matters. The younger people tend to be more critical, the older people tend to support Putin, but now and then you hear older people just telling the truth about how fucked up everything is. See many refusing to respond or being noncommittal. Worth a look any time. A side observation - get out of the cities and into the countryside and Russia is a Third World country, for sure. Watched people drawing water from a community well, for example.
