Russians take crucial supply hub of Kurakhove

[moon]

50,000 dead Ukrainians and mercenaries in Kursk ? Who still thinks that Zelensky's desire to be European was worth it.
Half of Ukrainians are Russian-speaking pro-Russians. What about THEIR self-determination ?

The BBC has verified several flag-raising videos showing Russian troops on the outskirts of Kurakhove and its surrounding areas.

A well-known Ukrainian journalist, Yury Butusov, wrote on his Telegram channel that the city of Kurakhove had been "effectively lost" to Russian forces.

Ukrainian bloggers said servicemen had been subjected to constant fire from multiple rocket launchers and guided, or glide, bombs.

DeepState, a Ukrainian monitoring group that tracks the front line of the war using open sources, showed most of Kurakhove under Russian control at midday on Tuesday.

Jesus, three years and a million Russian battlefield casualties after the initial invasion, Russia is still just trying to capture the rest of the Donbass region of Eastern Ukraine?

So you think it is worth it. You are a pseudo-patriotic half-wit.

The war could end in 24 hours if the invaders withdrew from sovereign Ukrainian land.

What the heck is Vlad doing still just trying to capture the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine after three years? Putin used to bluster he could take Kyiv in two days.

Without a US-backed coup and weapons supplies there wouldn't have been any war at all.
Your ass-covering is transparent.

Don’t start a war if you can’t finish the war.

Israeli infants were beheaded and burned alive by the barbarians in Hamas, a terrorist group.

So one of the world's super powers has spent three years and a million battlefield casualties, and yet is still trying to capture a sliver of region in Eastern Ukraine. Totally unexpected and bizarre.

Russia is three times larger in population, and vastly larger in quantity of weapons and war production capacity.

Why shouldn't Ukraine be able to defend itself against invaders?

Putin is marking time until Trump gets back into office. Then Trump will initiate "peace talks" which will amount of handing over whatever Lebensraum Putin demands from Ukriane and that will be the end of Russia's long nightmare and they can start the really important work of slaughtering Ukrainians while NATO is busy trying to save itself from Trump unilaterally screwing it over.

Putin's initial investment in Trump in his first administration was good but not good enough. Trump really destabilized NATO briefly and now he'll be able to get the rest of the job done and Putin will get EXACTLYL WHAT HE'S ALWAYS WANTED: A Europe with no strong NATO. And he gets to re-establish whatever neo-USSR vision he has for the Russian Empire.

Right, Putin held out waiting for Trump, who he expects to coerce Ukraine into a cease-fire and negotiated settlement favorable to Russia.

Half of Ukrainians, the Russian-speaking pro-Russian Ukrainians, didn't want NATO, Europe or the USA. Why shouldn't they be able to defend themselves from NATO, European and USA encroachment, weapons-stuffing and a coup ?
We, the West, should have left well alone. Now look what you've done, war-monger.

You were ecstatic and literally cheering when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Just another fabrication aimed at me because your position is indefensible.

To date you have me supporting Marine Le Pen, Putin and Trump when I'm actually waaaaaay to the Left of you. Amerikkkans certainly don't like their unacceptable positions exposed.

Yep, pretty sad.

Sad ? John McCain's coup was extraordinarily stupid, even for an Amerikkkan.

But then you wouldn't know about that, would you, what with stamping about in pentangles with your dick out and stuff.


Haw, haw.................................haw.

Yes, sad that the Russian military is so shitty that this is all they've managed with that amount of casualties. To think they used to actually be a challenge. Now they're scrounging up dumbasses from North Korea to help.

Well- they appear to be winning.....and even another trillion dollars of US taxpayers hard-earned money isn't going to change that, according to authoritative observers.

That's a pretty low hanging fruit if this is what you consider 'winning'.
