Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Lots of chat about Putins health and that maybe he's dead. Most no doubt unfounded but I haven't seen much of him. Normally when you get these rumours the dictator just does a TV thing to put them to bed.

Will be interesting to see when he pops up next!

One Exhausted Ukrainian Brigade In Avdiivka Reportedly Blew Up 200 Russian Vehicles And Killed 800 Russian Troops

The 2,000-person 110th neither is Ukraine’s most experienced brigade nor its best-equipped. But it has the hardest job in Ukraine’s war effort: holding Avdiivka.

White House stating that Russians are routinely executing disobedient Russian soilders and have now started to execute whole squad sized units!

I hate the fact Ukraine are fighting the huge force of Russia alone, while the US send an aircraft carrier to support Israel. Yes we have sent military aid in the form of money and weapons but ever so slowly dragging Russian invasion out

It is interesting to note that in the above reports I posted, the indications are Ukraine's military wants to withdraw from Avdiivka to a more defendable line - especially as Russian loses are extreme and limiting any Russian attacks elsewhere for months to come. That said the political repercussions from such a move would probably be catastrophic for Ukrainian support in the West - as such Leopard tank units and probably other reserves as well will be deployed to support and attack the Russian "pincers" around Avdiivka

This is exactly what i posted last night,regards"we may see a small retreat"...."it is tactical and nothing to worry about" i am told.
Its due to the sheer numbers the Russians are putting in that direction.

Slava Ukraini.

The Russians will have to think things through.....
Ukrainian Forces advancing across Zaporizhzhia Region and piling across the Dnipro at Krynky,Kherson Region.
But still Putin demands Avdiivka must be captured "at all costs"....the prick.

Heroyam Slava.

It makes perfect sense. In a largely static war you chose the position to defend carefully. Holding ground for the sake of Holding ground is stupid if there is a better natural defensive line just behind you.

Slovak just sent the wrong message to Putin

The Eisenhower to show support for Israel it’s in the Atlantic on its way curtesy of (Sky news)?
I might see if I can check it further if it was nothing to get worked up about
on Sky they said it was in the Atlantic on it’s way to the gulf
Sorry it’s for the other thread
