ken6488: I thought I was the only one that noticed that. The Ukranians reoccupied areas left by the Russians up north and it was on replay for WEEKS. MOKBA happened, WEEKLY replay Then the failed crossing on the Donets river, and same replay for WEEKS. Finally Kharkiv withdrawal happened, and guess what? That's right, WEEKLY replay and twists as a Ukrainian win. As all these happened, the Russians were busy capturing more and more territories. 2 Likes |

Bros, you have the wrong attitude. A few advices: 1. We all run different races. We all won't be successful at the same time. That yours is taking a bit longer doesn't mean that it won't come. Just continue to work hard and smart, and trust in God. Your time will DEFINITELY come. 2. Change your poor attitude. Celebrate with others when they succeed, no matter how young (as long as it is legitimate). One day you will also be celebrated. Your time will come. |

Igbofam: Bros, I would've told you to book a basic geography class on map reading, but that will be a waste as the very basics are CLEARLY beyond your comprehension. The baffling thing of all these is that you post maps in a bid to look "smart" but the same maps totally contradicts the outright garbage/bunkum (using your own word). Chief, your level of ignorance and outright stupidity is so mind boggling, it gives me a headache. Abeg, go and engage with goats. 1 Like |

donkdonk: My answer to the highlighted points you've made: (1)Donbass was an objective. As a matter of fact it was Russia's very first objective as one of Putin's first announcement at the start of the conflict was the movement of troops into the Donbass. The push beyond the initial line of conflict to the Donbass's administrative lines of control was and still is the objective. (2)The take over of the whole of Ukraine was NEVER the objective. We're talking about one of the largest land masses in Europe and you think the Russians can take that with only 200,000 troops committed to the ops? Even the RuAF air power was somewhat absent at the start of the offence. (3)The overthrow of Zelensky was indeed an objective and Putin even called for the overthrow of Zelensky and his administration. Here's the thing though: objectives may change. And that's what played out in the 2nd-3rd week of the conflict when Zelensky publicly admitted that Ukraine joining NATO may no longer be feasible and the Russians responding in kind that the overthrow of Zelensky was no longer in the books. (4) As a result of point (3) taking Kyiv would've made absolutely no sense. Yes the Russians were mauled up north, and yes they could not fully encircle Kyiv. BUUUUUT the withdrawal of the Russians from Kyiv had absolutely nothing to do with some "successful" Ukrainian counter-attack, but rather an announced decision by the Russians to pull back in good faith towards the peace talks brokered by the Turks in Turkey, and Russia's decision to focus on the Donbass region. Besides trying to capture the capital city with only a force of 50,000 men?? Bros, that's not possible. (5) Demilitarization of Ukraine is still an objective and that was somewhat achieved. However the inflow of donated weapons may negate that. (6)I don't really see Finland's NATO membership change anything. Yes, Russia will probably move troops and nukes to their north west border, but frankly I see absolutely nothing else happening. The Russians won't open a 2nd front and give the Ukranians breathing space. |

Igbofam: Oga, STOP POSTING MAPS IF YOU CANNOT READ THEM. Haba! Russia has abandoned Dontesk to Izyum?? WTF?? First of all Izyum is even the major Russian hammer coming down from the North. Also, the Russians have not abandoned anything in the Donbass front. They've CERTAINLY not abandoned the ops in Donetsk. They've simply created a smaller and more realistic cauldron aimed at trapping some of the most experienced Ukrainian units in if they still choose their suicidal "hold your ground" tactics. If you bothered to even read my previous posts, you would've have seen where I posted that the Russians have reached the administrative line of Luhansk and are swinging up north towards Kramatorsk. At this point your prayer should be that Ukrainian forces in the cauldron beat a hasty tactical retreat westwards before they're trapped and some of them are already begging for this online. Finally, STOP LYING about the Ukrainians crossing the Donets river. I just said the Russians blew up their pontoon crossing late last week, yet you're yapping about Ukrainian "successful crossing"? That's if you're referring to dead floating bodies. |

Igbofam: Oh I'm very aware of the failed Russian crossing. Even the Russians admitted their failed crossing. But before you jubilate as western media put that incident on repeat all week long (as usual), you may have overlooked a few things: (1) Elements from the BTG involved survived. Losses were heavy though. (2) The Russians were still able to cross THREE [3] BTGs across SAME Donets river. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Ukraine Has ‘won The Battle Of Kharkiv’ As War Reaches ‘tipping Point’ by ocelot2006(m): 7:39am On May 16, 2022 |
Igbofam: They've already tried last week by equally trying to cross the Donetsk river. They were badly beaten back will the Ukrainian pontoon bridge destroyed. Until they're able to cross that natural barrier and threaten the supply line that runs from Belgorod through Izyum, I will not hold my breath. Keep in mind that there's a Russian force still in front of them in same Kharkiv Oblast AND across the border in Belgorod. |

1stGenAmerican: What last location? What I know is that at the start of the conflict, Russia actually pushed into Kharkiv city but were beaten back as they faced stiff resistance. Ever since then they've basically been shelling the city. In the 2nd Phase, they've not made any push into the city and they CLEARLY stated that liberating Donbass was the objective. Kharkiv city is not. Even at that, the Russians are still in the Kharkiv Oblast. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Ukraine Has ‘won The Battle Of Kharkiv’ As War Reaches ‘tipping Point’ by ocelot2006(m): 7:29am On May 16, 2022 |
Techsupport: When the Ukrainians are able to carry out a proper mechanized counter-attack and actually push the Russians away from the Donbass region back to the border, then we'll talk. Until then no sensible person will consider Ukraine merely reoccupying areas already left by the Russians, who've carried out an orderly retreat to better defensible areas, a "successful counter-attack". That's unless you want to spin propaganda to make the Ukrainians and yourselves feel good. |

1stGenAmerican: I'm no military expert, but 'ever heard of a feign/distraction or tieing up an opponent's resource? Apart from that, if Kharkiv was strategically important, why won't the Russians push in more Battalion Tactical Groups (BTGs) to take the city of 2 million? Belgorod is just across the border after all. What you fail to understand is that: (1)The objective is primarily the Donbass, not Kharkiv city. (2)Invading/Trying to take over a large city, especially one of 2 MILLION, simply sucks up a whole lot of manpower and resource from the attacker to seize and hold as it as favours the defenders. A key example is Mariupol. The Russians can't afford that distraction, especially when they're effecting a number of pushes at the Donbass front. (3) Believe it or not, the Russians have learnt lessons from the 1st phase of the war and are not eager to repeat past mistakes. |

Igbofam: @ the highlighted, all I can say is GOOD LAWD!! Bros, you can lie eh!! Have you not been following the news? Because it's soooooooo obvious that you're totally oblivious of the current happenings in Ukraine. Let me guess, you still believe the Ghost of Kharkiv is real, right ? Anyway let me help you out abeg: (1)First of all, LOOK AT THE MAP, then PLEASE explain how Kharkiv city is key to the capture of the Donbass region (Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast). Keep in mind that the Russians have already reached the administrative line of Luhansk Oblast and are already swinging northwards towards Kramatorsk again in a bid to fully secure the oblast and trap Ukrainian units in Sieverodonetsk - Lysychansk cauldron still trying to hold ground as ordered by Kyiv despite multiple pleas to withdraw to an area that is defensible. Keep in mind that the Russians are still up north right in front of the Ukrainians, and have already repulsed the Ukrainian "successful" counter-attack. Meanwhile, western media houses who are trying to spin the Ukrainian "counter-attack" as a "success" ( .....sorry) are grudgingly admitting that the Russians are actually making an orderly withdrawal from the area. Does that sound like an army beating a hasty retreat? (2) Abeg when and where were the Russians pushed back on the Izyum front? Who gave you that superstory, especially when the Russians are still pushing down south from SAME axis? Again if you've bothered to LOOK AT THE MAP you would've seen that in between the Kharkiv city and Izyum front is a natural barrier, that being the Severskyi Donets river. And as you and Team Slava Ukraine were probably celebrating over the initial failed Russian river crossing, you most probably missed the news that roughly the same day the Russians had returned the favour as they equally destroyed a Ukrainian pontoon crossing further north on the same river. But hey, please do tell about this phantom "successful" pushback of the Russian force at the Izyum front. But hey, continue to swallow the gunk the makers of "Ghost of Kyiv" are feeding.

@ OP and the Team Slava Ukraine, before you celebrate, mbok I URGE YOU all to take a break and look at the battlefield map, especially at the Kharkiv front. Maybe then reality will hit in. A few things to note: (1)The Ukrainians never launched any successful counter-attack that helped them recapture territories around Kharkiv. Contrary to what's being touted around, some Russians units actually ceded ground voluntarily in tactical withdrawals to more defensible positions. The areas left by the Russians are what's now reoccupied by the Ukrainians and spurned as "recaptured". (2)To be fair , the Ukrainians have reached the Russian boundary, BUUUUUUUUT the area "recaptured" is basically a tiny sliver of territory compared to what's still being held by the Russians. (3) In a considerable area around same Kharkiv, the Russians just repulsed a Ukrainian push about a day ago. (4) The whole "push" around Kharkiv is frankly considered strategically unimportant. Frankly it ties up Ukrainian units, preventing them from reinforcing beleaguered units in the East Donbass front. 22 Likes 3 Shares |
