When will they start using nuclear weapons?
I want to see a nuclear war very soon. Enough of all these audio wars.

Putin should fire nukes randomly. Anywhere e land, make e land.

Lol I wanted to attack you as I kon see your name I laugh ehn. I just Dey roll on the ground

Kingsnairaland:


They call Russia the bear a bear does not need to make noise like the dog nato is don't poke the bear.

Russia don't need you to call them world power their power speaks for itself

They came to help Syria and nato ran away from Syria

They came to Georgia and nato ran away from them...

They came to Ukraine nato ran away from Ukraine too.

What more can Russia do to prove that nato can't come face to face with Russia.


God bless putin God bless mother Russia.

Apart from nuclear weapons, one on one , can Russia defeat USA?

Russia military is weak it has been over 3 months and Russia military have not made any substantial progress

Your comments shows you either just started following the war or not following at all. I wish peace reign there, but US and UK have turn Ukraine to almost nothing.

Check zelensky's last night video speech and you will realize how bad situations have been for Ukraine. Russia is fighting against the west and not just Ukraine and things would have been over since if US and UK had not decided to cashout from the war.

Hope you know Ukraine will still somehow pay for the weapons they are collecting?.

Russia have suffer lost too and admitted that but if we see truth, make we talk am. Ukraine go take time make them recover from this war that US are using them to aim the world power in terms of weapons

Russia-Ukraine war
Is Russia inching towards victory in Ukraine’s Donbas region?
Al Jazeera’s Alex Gatopoulos examines whether new tactics and objectives are giving Russia an advantage in the Ukraine war.

By Alex Gatopoulos
Published On 9 Jun 2022

In the battle for the Donbas, the fight over Severodonetsk has entered a crucial stage. Ukrainian units are locked in a desperate struggle with Russian infantry and armour intent on taking the city, which is at the eastern end of a Ukrainian defensive pocket now in serious danger of being cut in two.

While maintaining a grip on the city, Russian forces to the south of this salient are also slowly advancing north in an attempt to cut the roads leading to the town of Bakhmut.

To the north, Russian infantry and armour have been pushing south towards the strategically important towns of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, with their vital rail junctions, crucial for the movement of supplies and vehicles given the vast distances that the war in eastern Ukraine involves.

These two Russian thrusts are designed to pinch this ever-narrowing pocket, squeezing it until Severodonetsk and Lysychansk are cut off from the rest of Ukraine, effectively surrounding and besieging the Ukrainian units caught in the Russian pincer.

New tactics
Now in its fourth month, the war’s dynamic has changed. Russia has consolidated its forces, keeping its best troops for the operation in the Donbas while continuing to hold its positions elsewhere using reservists equipped with older tanks like the T-62.

As Ukrainian air defence units pull back from the Severodonetsk pocket to avoid encirclement, Russia’s air force can now operate more safely, being threatened by shoulder-launched weapons which are only effective against low-flying aircraft. This has allowed the Russian air force to support the accompanying ground advance, pummeling the two besieged cities, already devastated by artillery and missile attacks.

Russian forces are still making clumsy moves. In early May, more than a battalion’s worth of soldiers and armoured vehicles attempted to cross the Siversky Donets river to try and cut off the Ukrainian defenders in the two cities. The likely crossing site had been previously surveyed by Ukrainian forces as a probable spot for a pontoon bridge river crossing. Ukrainian artillery units had zeroed in on the coordinates and bunched up columns of Russian armour were spotted by drones as Russian forces waited for the bridge to be assembled. The resulting barrage devastated them, annihilating the Russian units and destroying the makeshift bridge in the process.

Although still suffering tactical defeats, Russian forces are advancing. Improvements have been implemented after the initial debacle at the beginning of the war. Supply lines have been shortened, the gains now slower and more methodical as Russia’s high command slowly learns and adapts to the war in the east.

Both sides now use drones effectively, the sight and sound of one usually a prelude to an artillery attack that in the flat terrain can have devastating consequences for units with relatively few places to hide.

Artillery is the prime weapon of choice as duels are fought between the two armies. Foreign weapons systems, howitzers, tanks and multiple rocket launchers supplied to Ukraine by the West, are making themselves felt but also bringing their own problems.

A war of logistics
Sustained combat takes a toll not just on the people who fight but also on the equipment used. The barrels on artillery pieces get worn out after several thousand rounds, lose their accuracy and need to be replaced. The tracks on armoured vehicles need regular maintenance. Damaged vehicles can be fixed but this takes time and manpower. Russia’s troops have to deal with poor maintenance but Ukraine’s maintenance and repair crews now struggle to fix a variety of unfamiliar foreign systems for which there are few spare parts. Damaged tanks, vehicles and artillery have to be redrawn from vital sectors while they are being repaired by the few Ukrainian staff that are able to fix and turn them back into effective weapons.

One of the few strategically smart moves on Russia’s part has been to strike at Ukrainian repair facilities far behind the front lines in an attempt to slow Ukraine’s repair cycle down, with the intent of eventually overwhelming the few serviceable Ukrainian weapons and vehicles left in the field.

Russia is also starting to run low on armoured vehicles and artillery as the war takes its toll on equipment, with Russia’s economy not yet on a war footing. The conflict is now increasingly focused on logistics and grinding battles of attrition, with movement being limited to a series of small objectives that are all starting to mount up to show that Russia is slowly turning the tide.

Russia’s casualties are heavy but at roughly 100 Ukrainian military deaths along with 400 to 500 wounded per day Ukraine is starting to lose some of its best soldiers as the country’s forces are caught up in a meat grinder that shows little sign of slowing down.

INTERACTIVE Russia-Ukraine War Who controls what in Donbas DAY 106

Objectives, too, have changed. The closing of the Severdonetsk pocket aside, the focus is now on transport nodes like rail junctions vital in a conflict where soldiers, military vehicles and vital supplies have to move large distances and arrive fresh to fight. Trains are able to move hundreds of troops and thousands of tonnes at any one time, which is very useful to Russia’s military as it is able to sustain its advance towards its objectives, albeit at a slow and costly pace.

Russia still has not suppressed Ukraine’s air force but it is not trying to. It is making slow gains and steady moves, using troops that are increasingly battle-hardened and keeping casualties relatively low when compared with its disastrously clumsy moves at the beginning of the invasion. The air force now works more efficiently supporting infantry and armoured units.

NATO countries have worked together to keep Ukraine armed but are still reluctant to give Ukraine weapons systems that can attack targets inside Russia, fearing escalation involving a probable Russian declaration of war that would lead to the total focus of its economy on the conflict.

An escalation of the war could lead to general conscription in Russia, which would vastly increase the size of the military forces at its disposal, albeit being poorly trained. The implied use of nuclear weapons would also never be too far off if the country felt it was being sufficiently threatened. The ultimate fear of NATO countries is that the war would rapidly slide out of control, triggering a nuclear conflagration, something everyone, even Russia, is keen to avoid.

The war has raged for several months and there is now a race between Ukraine and Russia to see who exhausts the other first and, in this new phase of the conflict, who can keep supplied and armed as Russia slowly inches its way towards its goals and Ukraine fights on to grind down Russia’s advance in the Donbas.

How come Ukraine casualties is 100 per day and wounded is around 500 to 800 per day If Russia is making gains on ground?

An Ukrainian soldier under unanimous consent said " Ukraine have lost over 50,000 soldiers" ! He even said that they're all exhausted and tired fighting but they're urgued by the west to keep on fighting.

they could have done it with nukes. All the west will do is sanction. But none will ever dare enter Russia. Russia wants to draw this out and make Ukraine semi wasteland where no one wants to live, but the comic doesn't understand

Unknown to you what US is doing is what Russia is going and China.

No nation on earth can defeat Russia, forget the media hype/optics/stunts by western countries…

How do you explain Ukraine fighting with 700k military force trained by NATO (combination of over 20 countries) plus mercenaries and still losing against Russia’s 200k military force who have gained ground in the donbass area (Donetsk and Luhansk region) and still advancing westward?

Three mercenaries were sentenced to death today..

Believe western media at your own peril, they are full of fake news.

Ballzproblemm:

Hardest task they may never live to execute. Russia is well armed, the US weapons can only do much but personally, I think russia will only leave when they reach diplomatic agreement or have their way (take control of Donbas).

Ballzproblemm:

Expelling Russian forces is one of the hardest task Ukraine may never live to execute. Russians have gotten a good ground since seizing mariupol and the black see route. They can play the west if they want to at this moment because they seems to be more comfortable due to their mass grains and seizing the wheat port add to their advantage. They will either leave after seizing Donbas (which is their prime target) , or diplomatic agreement

Wrong! If Ukraine is nuked, the US and it’s allies will not return the favor. No one will risk MAD for Ukraine, not US/UK and certainly not Europe or any NATO allies who will all become targets. NATO will defend every inch of nato territory but it does not include Ukraine which is not a NATO nation. It will simply end in sanctions. But in retrospect, Russia will never nuke Ukraine because it will amount to killing an ant with a sledgehammer. Russia is fighting with a peacetime corps(150k army). The worse case would be to declare total war on Ukraine and order a general conscription which the west is also keen to avoid.

We need that western artillery to survive in this contraption called Nigeria currently.

The invaders have air dominance and anti aircrafts missile systems. Heard they came with helicopters last night.

The war has begun.

Go get yourself a rifle if you have any chances of survival.


Obadiah Mailafia said it and he was quickly eliminated.

Abeg wat use is a rifle against all the invader weapons u jxt listed??

Not only that, but Russia is the only country in the history of western sanctions that instead of their economy and currency disintegrating as sanction bites, it actually got stronger. What does that tell you about the strength of Russia? The ruble now is getting close to what it was before Crimea's ascension to Russia in 2014. Now let's look at what so-called Russia, a loser has achieved so far
.

1. Currency got stronger almost double. It's like Nigeria fighting Cameroon, and after the whole west slapped us with at least six thousand sanctions, the naira appreciated from one USD to N200

2. Russia officially exited the Bretton woods system. If anyone understands the Bretton woods system, they will see clearly that it is also the reason why all currencies are measured against the USD, and why the naira is getting closer to being toilet paper.

3. Russia officially reclaimed all their historical Russian lands and advanced further to cut off Ukraine from the black coast, effectively making it a landlocked country like Mali, and if we know anything about geography, being landlocked for any country, especially a corrupt one is suicidal. The land Russia has claimed so far from Ukraine is bigger than Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg combined, and more are still to be claimed.

4. A multi-polar world has officially been created. Just in case you didn't notice, the majority of the world didn't sanction Russia and is still doing business with them. It is only the US-led western countries, basically, less than 20% of humanity sanctions Russia.

5. Western firms and corporations that are far richer, stronger, and technologically advanced have left Russia for good, allowing local players to grow and dominate the market. From MacDonalds, Ikea, Zara, and Apple, just name it. ~Imagine all the billion USD industries controlled by foreigners in Nigeria suddenly becomes open for Nigerians to dominate. Poverty will be eliminated in a year.

6. The war also reduced the trust of the US in the international arena. Now Taiwan is convinced that the US will not come to its aid if China decided to claim its territory back. The international community has lost faith in the US, and Taiwan will be the nail in the coffin because the US will only supply weapons and not help. If you think Russia is tough, then go read the history of the Chinese. Russians are like wolves compare to the Chinese. The most brutal and deadliest war in the whole of human history that makes the second world war looks like a video game was fought in China, with hundreds of millions killed. China being patient is not cowardice, but strength.

7. For the first time since Bretton woods, the non-Western world has finally united to create a just international system that is fair and just to all. The USD is under threat of losing its reserve currency status, and trades are being conducted in Euro Asia in local currencies. The global center of the economy has moved to the East just in case you didn't notice. The new ''abroad'' is not the west anymore, but it is China. If you want to make big money, go to China.

8. The west has proved to the world that all the grammars of the right to personal properties, judging individuals, not by their nationality, sex, race, etc, rule of law, democracy, etc are false. Or else how can you explain the punishment average Russians received even if they have no influence on what Putin does? Why should Chelsea owner Ibrahimovich be sanctioned? even Russian trees, cats, and legends like Dostoyevsky that have died centuries ago were sanctioned. The west simply ki today in the name of sanctions, China passed through worse, when it was poorer than Pakistan. But China builds and relies on itself, now, look at China. China (and hopefully Russia

Okay, thanks for your feedback.

But I know of a better alternative, how about challenge the points I've written instead of telling me shut up? Isn't it common sense?

MansoryMX:



Look at the Imbec1le. Ordinary small artillery US gave Ukraine, Russia are losing the war. What will then happen if US supplies Ukraine with Marines, Air Force, snipers or Navy seals. Russia is like big for nothing camry

How can Ukraine be winning when they've lost territories to Russia the size of Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg combined? With millions of Ukrainian refugees scattered all around Europe?

They will respond with sanctions, smearing, cancelling, boycotting, banning, denying, demonising and hating everything Russia. That will be their response. But if you think the west will risk being nuked to ashes because of Ukraine, then you don't know how shit works.

Ukraine is a pawn, and a puppeteer will not risk his life for a disposable puppet. They simply dump it and move to another one. Maybe the next puppet will be Kazakhstan, or North Korea or even Nigeria. Nuke Russia lol, ever heard of MAD?

Ballzproblemm:

Define 'substantial gains' vis-a-vis a territory such as Ukraine. But don't worry. Calculate 20% of Ukrainian territory, measured it with England and Wales, and come back with the answer. Maybe that would clear your eyes.

DannyFX2638:
all these people are just dumbhead .. they will see random pictures online and just upload

You that is not Dumb headed, look well and you will see the Ukrainian badge (flag) on the arm of the soldiers....

I don't know why some of you like throwing insults in Nairaland. If it helps you massage your ego, then go ahead.

Russia has been selling some of their old Soviet era weapons to the West. Now some of those weapons have been donated to Ukraine by Western countries.

By the way.... Going by your moniker,

Do you trade Forex ?

If you do, I will like to teach you some Ukrainian techniques for making money in the market........

I want to donate Strategy to you the same way the west is donating weapons to Ukraine..

shogsman:

Maybe you hit your head at birth or you're just naturally slow, but I think capturing 25% of Ukraine, capturing over 10,000 soldiers, capturing the industrial cities of mauripol, Kherson that accounts for most of Ukraine industrial output, destroying the Azov battalion is a substantial progress

Not just substantial progress, but 75% of mission achieved. Once Severedonetsk and Lysichansk falls totally, it would be mission completed.

Already, the captured Azov guys are now being readied for trial for all the crimes they committed for the past 8 years against the people of Dombass. Meanwhile, in Kherson and Melitopol, thousands of people are now cueing up and getting their Russian passports. I watched one Ukrainian military commander who and his wife defected to Russia's side and got his passport also. The Russian Rouble has been introduced into the Dombass region as means of payment and settlement for goods and services, working side by side the Ukie currency for now. Russia is now almost fully entrenched in the East, and once those two remaining cities fall completely, it would be game over for Kiev and its sponsors because there would be nothing left to go back to since the Dombass region account for 80% of Ukrainian economic power in terms of agriculture and industries.

Zelensky was foolish to have allowed this war to progress this far. Well, once a puppet always a puppet. Adieu Ukraine.

This war is a great reset for Russia, to build from scratch without dependence on the western system and grow organically, just like what China did when it was completely embargoed by the whole west for at least thirty years. What Russia is passing through today in the name of sanctions, China passed through worse, when it was poorer than Pakistan. But China builds and relies on itself, now, look at China. China (and hopefully Russia) is the only country that is sanction-proof, that the west can do nothing to. And if China dares sanction the US, there will be a riot tomorrow.
