    Oh, Russia is doing the drills. Are we supposed to drop on our knees and start begging Pootin to end the drills?

    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, May 31

    Kateryna Stepanenko, Karolina Hird, and Frederick W. Kagan

    May 31, 5:45pm ET

    Moscow’s concentration on seizing Severodonetsk and Donbas generally continues to create vulnerabilities for Russia in Ukraine’s vital Kherson Oblast, where Ukrainian counter-offensives continue. Kherson is critical terrain because it is the only area of Ukraine in which Russian forces hold ground on the west bank of the Dnipro River. If Russia is able to retain a strong lodgment in Kherson when fighting stops it will be in a very strong position from which to launch a future invasion. If Ukraine regains Kherson, on the other hand, Ukraine will be in a much stronger position to defend itself against future Russian attack. This strategic calculus should in principle lead Russia to allocate sufficient combat power to hold Kherson. But Russian President Vladimir Putin has chosen instead to concentrate all the forces and resources that can be scraped together in a desperate and bloody push to seize areas of eastern Ukraine that will give him largely symbolic gains. Continuing successful Ukrainian counter-offensives in Kherson indicate that Ukraine’s commanders recognize these realities and are taking advantage of the vulnerabilities that Putin’s decisions have created.

    ...

    Key Takeaways

    • Russian forces are increasingly focused on advancing on Slovyansk from the southeast of Izyum and west of Lyman.
    • Russian forces are making gains within and around Severodonetsk.
    • Russian forces are likely hoping to advance on Lysychansk from Toshkivka in order to avoid having to fight across the Severskyi Donets River from Severodonetsk.
    • The Russian grouping in Kherson Oblast is likely feeling the pressure of the limited Ukrainian counteroffensive in northwestern Kherson Oblast, especially as much of the Russian operational focus is currently on the capture of Severodonetsk.

    Those of you that support the Nazis killing civilians in the Donbass will be happy to know that US weaponry has now been used to further Kyiv's genocidal attacks on civilians in Donetsk. Way to go

    Biden is a big steaming pile of :icon_shithappens: and elensky needs one of those Howitzers pointed directly at him. What a ****ing dumbass.

    Why is it that you apparently believe what some unscrupulous YouTube propagandist publishes without question while dismissing all news and information from credible sources out of hand? Did school fail you this badly?

    Russians used 8 high precision missiles to hit railroad infrastructure in Lviv region. Delayed 3 passenger trains by 3 hours! :no:
    I guess, it’s an attempt to prevent HIMARS delivery. Do they realize that HIMARS are wheeled trucks that can go 50 mph and have a range of about 350 miles per fuel tank? They can drive on roads from Poland, have just 1 refueling stop, and arrive in Mykolaiv within the same day. :lol:

    And Ruzzian arms manufacturers are losing sales because now everyone knows how bad that stuff is (except for the Kalashnikovs).

    Accurate image describing the Pootin war:

    Disgusting Pootin orc amidst stolen goods grins from his Z-mobile, driving through a devastated residential area. :(

    Oh no, just telling you that they started doing the nuclear force drills. You know, moving nukes around and preparing the launch sites. It's just a small matter.

    You think there are pro-Russian regions in Ukraine? Do you also believe in Santa Clause?

    I think a few of those in Crimea are having second thoughts as they see what Russians are doing to their fellow man.
    And in the Donbass they have this thing called the 'Ruble' that aint going to be worth much soon, or this thing called
    'dictatorship.' Now both groups are seeing what Nazis were like in 1941-45.
    And please, no, "the gift of freedom bestowed" will only belong to a Ukraine which is a member of the EU, living under
    EU standards of living and running a government. There is no freedom in Russia and you know it.

    Show me a pro-Russian region that HIMARS would need to pass in order to make it to Mykolaiv or Donbas.
