This second phase will reduce Ukraine to rubbles.

So the US government don't even know what happens to the weapons they sent to Ukraine? Yet they keep sending more? That tells you that NATO only exist to serve the interest of the IS empire and the MIC. They really don't care what happens to Europe.

Meanwhile, I read one report that said some units of Ukrainian forces are actively selling off heavy weapons in their possession to third parties setup by the Russian side. And they're making a good deal of money from it. I don't know how true is that.

KillerCrocodile:
But Ukraine is already in Rubbles na ...

They are just hanging on so that Russia would not occupy the nation without a serious fight...

Ukraine is not really in Rubbles yet. You need to see real Rubbles in Baghdad and Aleppo. For instance, many of the cities the Russians pulled out of to mark the end of Phase 1 have running water system, internet and cellphone network working properly. The only city that looks a bit like rubbles is Mariupol, and that is caused by both sides used of artilleries in city centers.

But in this new phase, with the way the Russians are conducting their operation, there would be hardly anything left in the east by the time they're finished. This is bad for the people of Ukraine.

mysticwarrior:
The Russians are becoming more vicious in this second phase of the war, I said it before that a time will come when the Russians would unleash hell on Ukraine if the war continues, and its now happening.

I noticed that whenever they attack a major point in this second phase, they attack from all sides with massive air and sea-basrd support for the advancing and fighting ground troops. This new method will simply overwhelm the Ukrainians who though they have the manpower in numbers, they are outgunned in air, land and sea. With most of the support they're getting from NATO AWACS Intel reduced due to Russian jamming, and the growing involvement of the Russian airforce, it would be a real miracle if Ukraine forces in the east survives another month. The US has called for an emergency meeting now because they knew what is about to happen.

KillerCrocodile:
Kherson was the first city to come under Russian control in the first phase of the Special War Crimes Operation...

I believe the article is focused on the first city captured by the Russians during this second phase...

Maybe, although it doesn't sound this convincing in the article. This war should just end. A country the size of Ukraine destroyed is not good for anybody, particularly Europe and the global economy.

Power/network disconnection? I thought as much that the Russians will do this in phase 2, and that's exactly what is unfolding. It gives the Ukies less propanganda mouthpiece to fabricate things on ground while allowing the Russkies to do their thing the way they seem fit, but all at the expenses of the innocent citizens.

One thing observers has noticed so far with this new phase tactics is that the Russians have taken a more hardened approach with less concern for civilian infrastructure. Electronic warfare and countermeasures have also increased in sophistication and deployment. There is talk of the Russians now blinding NATO AWACS flying around the Black Sea, and space-based deployment, which underlined the seriousness and deadly stance the Russians have taken this time around. Perhaps, that is why the US has called for an emergency meeting between NATO allies. With the Russian nuclear doomsday bombers now patrolling the skies for the first time in the crisis, this war might just spiral out of control. Whatever, the situation is not looking good for Ukraine.

Vicotex:
niqqas don drop kids glove to unload wrath on these nazis.
i thought the west MSM and Nairaland armchair war analyst said that Russia was out of ammunition and have logistics problem and ukraine is winning?
well, whats happening on ground is the total opposite!

It's only ediots that believe that Ukraine is winning. This war is bad and should just end. Ukraine can only win on social media.

This news is not correct. What about Kherson?

Eternal security...once saved always saved, instantaneous salvation stuff...but this doctrine does not explain or agree with the verses: Matthew 25:1-11; Matthew 7: 22-23; I Corinthians 10:12; I Corinthians 9:27; Romans 8:24-25; 2 Timothy 2:10 and the prime of them all, by my opinion though;


Revelations 3:1-5 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

The doctrine of eternal security a.k.a once saved always saved is not biblically correct.

First, we have to understand what salvation means. He that hears the gospel and accept Jesus as Lord and savior by taking His name in baptism (Acts 2:37-41) has started the salvation process as envisaged in Mark 16:15-16. But merely doing this is not what really makes one a true believer. The Bible defines who a true believer is: those who know Christ by living his words, keeping to His commandments (1John 2:3-6. John 14:15). Those who keep His commandments are those that are truly born in the spirit as stated in verse 6 of John 3. These are those who are born of God and as such cannot sin (1John 3:9), that is, such do not practice sin nor delight in it. And even when such by error or overwhelming provocation falls into a sinful act, they immediately rise out of it, become even more sober and sorry for their mistake, taking all possible precaution to make sure they don't fall into it again (Proverb 24:16); Because their soul and spirit is converted.

But those so-called believers who as the OP said ends up in hell due to unforgiveness or some other sins did so because they were not true believers to begin with. That is, they were merely believers by words of mouth and association as christians; they were never converted at heart nor transformed in the spirit by the renewness of their mind. The old nature in them never died. Such can never make it to heaven no matter how much they claim to believe.

Thus, the doctrine of once save or always saved is not absolute. If it were so, the Bible would not have said we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippines 2:12) because we can fall when we least expect it (1 Corinthians 10:12). The flesh is not guaranteed tomorrow, and those who chose to walk in the flesh will lose their righteousness, which is the salvation spirit that dwells in them since you can't be light and darkness at the same time. The Holy Spirit of God left Saul when he sinned and an evil spirit took over (1 Samuel 16:14). That pretty sums it up. If you don't keep to the commandments of God, you are going nowhere and your previous righteous acts won't suffice (Ezekiel 18:24); such shall face the ultimate penalty for sin unless they repent quickly and go back to their first love (stage of obedience) Revelation 2:5.

mach7:
Honestly, it is even more disappointing that here on Nairaland, there is not even a filter that tries to ensure that fake news doesn't get to the front page.

It quite amazing that news from British media is what one will be quoting as source. Shameful.

Even the mods here on Nairaland particularly on this section are promoting fake news. Imagine this was posted by a mod. Very disappointing.

frog12:
that no be the ship. search google for the pictures. these na fake.

They're fake really.

SeunTheOwner:
US airforce including the pacific force is larger than the who world countries combine together.

US is only country to have tested stealthy plane in combat. F22 raptor is still a predators. Even the Russians su57 can hardly match up with it.

F22 is shite to modern Russian and Chinese Passive Radar systems. The Russian S-400 was 'painting' all of them in Syria, a capability which prompted Turkey to ditch their interest in stealth fighters and purchased the S-400.

FYI, the US have scrapped further production of F22 and it's working towards downsizing and doing away with them.

YeyeGbami:
And this news didn’t make FP, this guy was shot at the back of his head by a white cop.

And yet the US will go about condemning other countries of human rights violations.

Officer name unknown till now. What are they hiding?

The mods in this section are pro-west and heavily bias.

The concept of equality and social justice you watched on Hollywood or read in textbooks regarding the United States is a fallacy. The system is heavily rigged along racial lines as such that white supremacy is a premodinantly 'covert' norm that inherently prevails in the adjudication of law and justice. Only ediot believe in what America preaches to other nations. They don't do it.

paafin:
VictorUSA will avoid threads like this..

That guy won't mind going back to the era of the slave trade to America

He is very emotionally insecured.

Kewtt:
Kharkiv is planning referendum for early May 2022

Zelensky have sold the soul of Ukraine's unity to satisfy the geopolitical ego of his American paid master.

brightalo1010:
Destroyed America is still better than Russia in all worth of life, stop making noise.

Biden is waiting to shake your ghost. Go next to him.

bonechamberlain:
Africans are so unfortunate, naive and mentally foolish.

This is the time for every African especially Nigerians to show their disdain for the west. But as usual slaves would always be slaves just because of Visa l, Hollywood and media propaganda.

These unthinking Nigerians don't know that the likes of Britain, U.S and co would never allow their country have a good leader, as a good leader means the end to their imperialism and extortion in Nigeria. Yet they wail and cry over bad leadership in Nigeria but support the same people who ensures that we continue to have bad leaders

The reason why Folks like Buhari and co can shoot and jail protesters is because they know their masters in the west would turn a blind eye as long as their looting, Imperialism, brain drain is allowed to flourish.

Exactly.

DerrickzB:
And they are close to it!! Russia shot down transport plan covering western donated weapons to Ukraine today in Odessa!! Wahala

Reports are saying that the weapon shipment on that plane was huge.

Meanwhile, Russian forces are capturing loads of western supplied weapons in East recently, and they are thanking Biden and British taxpayers for such wonderful millions of free gifts.

mojeer678:
The law of unintended consequences is slowly overtaking Europe and the US now.

Biden's promised Dark Winter is going to be fulfilled, coldly.

Cue to the coming catastrophic economic consequences felt by Europeans in their daily life (but not by the wealthiest five percent): inflation devouring salaries and savings; next winter energy bills packing a mean punch; products disappearing from supermarkets; holiday bookings almost frozen. France’s Le Petit Roi Emmanuel Macron – perhaps facing a nasty electoral surprise – has even announced: “food stamps like in WWII are possible.”

We have Germany facing the returning ghost of Weimar hyperinflation. BlackRock President Rob Kapito said, in Texas, “for the first time, this generation is going to go into a store and not be able to get what they want.” African farmers are unable to afford fertilizer at all this year, reducing agricultural production by an amount capable of feeding 100 million people.

Russia, so far, was selling 155 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe each year. The EU rhetorically promises to get rid of it by 2027, and reduce supply by the end of 2022 by 100 billion cubic meters. Gromov asked “how,” and remarked, “any expert has no answer. Most of Russia’s natural gas is shipped over pipelines. This cannot simply be replaced by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG).”

The risible European answer has been “start saving,” as in “prepare to be worse off” and “reduce the temperature in households.” Gromov noted how, in Russia, “22 to 25 degrees in winter is the norm. Europe is promoting 16 degrees as ‘healthy’, and wearing sweaters at night.”

The EU won’t be able to get the gas it needs from Norway or Algeria (which is privileging domestic consumption). Azerbaijan would be able to provide at best 10 billion cubic meters a year, but “that will take 2 or 3 years” to happen.

Gromov stressed how “there’s no surplus in the market today for US and Qatar LNG,” and how prices for Asian customers are always higher. The bottom line is that “by the end of 2022, Europe won’t be able to significantly reduce” what it buys from Russia: “they might cut by 50 billion cubic meters, maximum.” And prices in the spot market will be higher – at least $1,300 per cubic meter.

I’m reading economists who are saying that Europe’s sanctimonious sanctions against Russia could result in the collapse of NATO and the European Union. Putin may have already figured that out.

As for the U.S., the sanctions against Russia—and Russia’s counter sanctions against it—are helping to fuel an already depressed economy caused by the phony Covid pandemic. America is already experiencing the highest inflation rates in decades—and it’s only going to get worse. And all of the signs point to the bottom falling out of the stock market.

Succinctly put. Long time, comrade.

seunny4lif:
I don’t understand?
Did he was Russia to leave those troops free of charges

No, he is frustrated because he already knew that the fate of those troops holed up there in Mariupol is sealed already, and there is hardly anything they can do. The troop has tried to break out multiple times only to be pummeled by heavy artillery fire. That is why some of them are surrendering now.

Kewtt:
Russia is carving Ukraine in to bits just like US led NATO weaklings have done in Syria.

This playbook is getting interesting

Once they can lay claim to Odessa and Kharkiv, Ukraine would become a full fledged landlocked country. Courtesy of Zelensky who agreed to make his country the football field where two great powers are playing deadly football.

So who is the successor of Sudan?

North or south Sudan.

Since disintegrated countries now have successor.

The country that break away cannot be a successor. Common sense.

VictorUSA:
Facebook propaganda.

Alright.

AchalugoNwa:
see country naaa

as a soldier of any country, your priorities and sole mandate is protecting the lives and properties of the citizens and not politicians.
the citizens comes first for any country's army.

I hope Nigeria soldiers learn one or two things here

Truer words have never been spoken.

The territorial integrity of a nation is of Paramount interest and core focus of an ethically minded and politically neutral military that knows it onus. This is because the territorial integrity defines sovereignty, without which a country is merely a rubber stamp collection of people. And sovereignty reside with the people. The people are the true sovereign. Thus, a good army should, and will focus on defending the people from whom the state derives it's sovereignty.

The Malawian military just lived up to that. Kudos to them.

Unlike our country zoogeria,you try that one here soldiers go even join brutalize you.

The zoogeria part got to me... ;DBu seriously, this country of ours is in real bad shape.

Asianjollof007:
End everything now, we are all tired. I don't even understand the essence of life.

Nothing will end..time never ends even if the earth suffers nuclear fallout.

Get Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" and reminisce on the lyrics:

"...have no fear for Atomic energy cause none of them can stop the time."

Legendary!!!

frowland:
Joe Biden and Democrats, you guys should iron this mess out. It all looks like a joke now until it’s no more a joke.

Joe Biden and the Democrats that are busy demonstrating madness?

Since you were born until now, which president have you seen shaking hands with empty air after giving a speech? America has been sold, bought and destroyed by the deep state.

FalseProphet1:
I see Russia firing a Nuke at Ukraine, I see the Nuke malfunction and exploding in Moscow, I see millions die, I see Ukraine claiming victory.

This I have seen.

Thank God you're a false prophet.

Cheap propaganda by a relegated Putin.

By the way, how do you guys share videos from Telegram to Nairaland? I have tried and failed.
