Ukraine’s Defence Ministry: Russians Are 16 Miles Away From Encircling Donbass by AldrichAmes: 11:47pm On May 24, 2022
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has entered its most active phase, Ukrainian Defence Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Motuzyanyk has said.

Russian troops are just 16 miles away from encircling Ukraine's elite special forces in a potential major victory for Vladimir Putin in the Donbas.

Mr Motuzyanyk said Russian forces had not given up attempts to cross the river.

"Now we are observing the most active phase of the full-scale aggression which Russia unfolded against our country," he told a televised briefing.

"The situation on the [eastern] front is extremely difficult, because the fate of this country is perhaps being decided [there] right now."

Fact is, different groups of UkroNazi forces have been encircled or facing encirclement in the Eastern fronts. Ukraine stand no chance against overwhelming Russian artillery, attack bombers and fighter planes, and naval firepower that's pummelling them from all directions. In Lyman, the Ukies are surrendering while the ones that refused to surrender are being hunted down street to Street. Kramtorsk and sloviansk are the key to all of donbas/malorossiya.

And right now, studenok/dolyna area and belgorovka area plus siversk is what is left to close the lisichansk cauldron completely. The cauldron is getting smaller every week. Now it is almost closed at Pilipchatino. Next thing you know they are circling the coral outside Popasnya. Fact is, It is a mess for the Ukrainian s, and if the Russians get Yampil and Solodar then its over for those in Sevrod and surrounding areas. It will take a few weeks ( several) but they will be finished. After which the front would not have that 300km bulge. Concentration of Russian forces will then be in a better depth should they decided to move on any other areas.

So at this juncture, it's understandable what the Ukrainian ministry is saying. It's only a miracle that can save them now from complete encirclement and destruction in the hands of the Russians. I really feel sorry for them. undecided Ediot Zelensky really think he can win this war.

germans almost knocked down the gate of Stalingrad and Leningrad before being pushed back when usa lend and lease started trooping in.. All na needed now is for the Ukrainian to keep holding while their comrades finished up wit their trainings on the new heavy armaments being supplied to them…
Re: Ukraine’s Defence Ministry: Russians Are 16 Miles Away From Encircling Donbass by Kingsnairaland(m): 7:46am On May 26, 2022
Before the war only 15 of the east was under pro Russian separatists control. Now 90% of the east is under Russian control with biggest towns (Mariupol, Kherson, Severodonesk) under their control.

The junction to Crimea has been made and Odessa is the last target.
And know that the eastern part of the country represents 80% of Ukraine financial revenues and 40% of the electricity supply. With that part captured the rest of Ukraine is of no interest for Russia.

The biggest nuclear central (Chernihiv), the major sea port (Mariupol) and the most important industrial industrial complex (Azovtal), with 60% of agricultural lands etc..

All of this are under Russia control now. Then I say yes, Russia in winning as they are achieving their goals to cut Ukraine from it eastern part and all it industries.

it took them 60yrs to pay back for the aid given to them by the usa and built most or their weapons from the old Chassis and captured German scientists and prototypes.. you can look up when aid started coming and when they started making improvement in pushing the Germans back.. Ukraine might end up as a regional military power after all these tussles..

Ukraine won't amount to any thing when Russia divides it and maintain military presence

Last time they left Germany because they trust the west to follow it rules of not expanding towards Russia but now after Ukraine is divided they won't leave again and Ukraine won't be successful again.

All your wish for USA to have absolute power will come to nothing it only the anti Christ who will eventually have it

And by then both Russia and usa will be under his finger and you too will be under him since you so much love one human being to lead you to the promise land hell fire.

You think the Russians haven't learnt a thing or 2 from past history? The Russians have basically cut off Ukrainian supplies into the Donbass battlefront. A convoy of Ukranian "game changer" M777 towed artillery units were wiped out just last week. The Snake Island debacle wiped out most, if not all, Bayraktar UCAVs plus a number of Ukranian combat aircrafts & helicopters. The Russians have blown up train lines and traction power stations, every oil depot and refineries, arm depots plus manufacturing/repair facilities. EVERYTHING. Meanwhile the best Ukrainian units are almost trapped in the Donbass battlefront while the best reinforcement Kyiv can provide are Territorial Army units.....thats if they can get to the Donbass front...oh wait, the Russians blew up a major bridge.

Btw remember the Kharkiv front that the Ukrainians were busy celebrating about? Yeah, turns out it was a feignt by the Russians, drawing out crucial Ukrainian units that would've been useful in the Donbass front. Now they're trapped in a front that is no strategic value AT ALL to Ukraine. The Russian supply line from Belgorod through Izyum is totally intact as the Russians have way more Battalion Tactical Groups there. Even worse, worse, the Russians have established another supply line further west into the Donbass so there's a backup

Oh btw the Russians launched a MASSIVE a ir strike early today with waves of fighter bombers and attack helicopters.


In a nutshell, the Ukrainians are truly and royally f@#ked...

But hey, Ukraine is winning

I can't blame the west. Russia has been decimating Ukraine's farming equipment heavily. That can't be due to sanctions.

Fanfare fantasy.

How much of the new armaments supplied are making an impact on the Ukrainian side? Either they get destroyed on arrival or the units operating them are targeted and wiped out with high precision standoff missiles once the few ones manage to reach the frontlines.

Truth is, the Ukies have never stood a chance in this SMO. They're outgunned in every area of engagement. The fact that they have even lasted to this time is down much to the Russkies simply not wanting to go the 'bomb everything on sight way typical of American war style and victory. For this, they should be thankful to the Russians.

Moreover, comparing the current crop of Ukies with the then Soviet forces at Stalingrad is like comparing toothpicks with bamboon trees.

The then Soviet forces were highly willed, motivated and have a reason why they're fighting--for the survival of the Union. But in this case, the Ukies forces are demoralised, and are fighting for the politicians, not for the national unity, otherwise, this war wouldn't have even happened to begin with.

The destruction and mass surrender of the AZOV forces in Mariupol alone have completely weaken and demoralized many of the Ukie forces elsewhere. Right now, many of them are surrendering in the Eastern and Southern fronts. No amount of new and advanced armament you give a demoralized army would make them succeed. Once Russia succeed in taking the Donbass, the Ukies will cave in further and accept their defeat on the frontlines. If the politicians refused to acquiesce, I will not be surprise if a violent coup enschew.
