Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Elbow beards]

The mental gymnastics from the nonces in the weeks ahead is going to be fucking hilarious.

We only just realised the national Jimmy Savile day was 12th September so we had to quickly rush home so we didn't miss it.

If we were ever invaded by a hostile alien race (no, I don’t mean Russians) I’d want to fight alongside these guys!!!

Luhansk region....wow

Are we at the point where it’s time to send Gazza to the Kremlin with a 4 pack, a KFC and a fishing rod?

Just rumours, but armour on the streets of Moscow?

(Not Ukrainian armour, even they aren't that far... ...yet!)

Russians are fucked.
The whole Russian front between Kharkiv and Lysychansk has collapsed or is collapsing. Between 10k and 15k prisoners (so far) and enough kit captured to sink the proverbial ship.
Other advances elsewhere.
You're welcome.

Thanks , that is great news

Don’t get too carried away. It’s all part of Vlad’s cunning plan.

He surely cannot survive in power after this humongous fuck up?!

Who knows? The rout of their army at Kyiv should have been enough to finish off any leader, but seemed to only make his position stronger. Likewise Saddam after first gulf War.

I've no idea.

He could contain the narrative on that one. This will be hugely more challenging to manage.

It fucks me off when these Russian apologists say " stop giving them weapons it only prolongs the war" as if its some kind of generous and gentlemanly thing to say.

What they really mean is please stop arming the Ukrainians so my beloved but shit Russian army has a chance to slaughter people at will.

And if anyone thinks a few power cuts and a slightly more expensive couple of years is going to stop us Brits supporting Ukraine then you don't know much about us or our history!

Leaving their weapons and equipment is all part of that.

Don't worry lads, I'm totally driving away to get help. 100%. BRB.

2:35pm round up (about 6h behind but still many hours ahead of the BBC)

Ukraine update: Izyum is liberated! Lyman is liberated! Kupyansk is liberated!

In a day that caps what has been an already incredible offensive freeing of thousands of square kilometers in northeast Ukraine, Saturday morning brought news that seems too perfect to be true: Russian forces have reportedly either fled or surrendered...
