@ OP, btw what concerns the e-map of Russian SIM card use in Ukraine with the happenings in Kharkiv?

And are you not the dude that claimed that US LNG is cheaper than Russian gas? We're still scratching our heads over that BS you posted.

I have never seen this level of bunkum in one post.

Someone here is claiming Kharkiv is not strategic for Russia hence why he fabricated this fairytale of Russia carrying out a tactical withdrawal

Lwkmd

Let me educate you.

Ukraine is currently carrying out an offensive from the South of Ukraine....Kharkiv Is in the north of Ukraine....Izyum down to Donbas are wedged in the middle and Russia has control of that.

In order for Russia to ensure their objective in Donbass is achieved they needed to capture Kharkiv.

Now they have lost Kharkiv and thus Ukraine has now swung right to continue their offensive in izyum which once they succeed they would be smack upon Donbass.

They are currently pushing Russian forces back in Izyum as we speak because Russian reinforcements are not coming due to their switch to long range artillery attack preference.

The remaining Russian soldiers on ground would be overrun eventually.

There are only three main clusters of Russian troops in Ukraine now:

1. Kupyansk,
2. Severodonetsk,
3. Zelenodolsk,

these are the main places of the Russian offensive.

Russia's current attempt at Severodonetsk is a 3rd downscaling in a row of the Donbass offensive. First attempt to the South West of Izyum, failed. 2nd to South East of Izyum, likewise failed.

TASS will keep making a fool of you

@ 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. Ukraine is winning......










........on Facebook

@ 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.

You list a number of young FRONT LINE officers (Lts and Capts) KIA and shout "SLAVA Ukraine". Why not release Ukrainian fatalities also let's see and compare? Meanwhile Russia's still taking more ground.

But hey, Ukraine is winning....




















.......on social media.

Investor Sabinus sir, how's the family?

Another Useless Russian propaganda

Sorry sir. Ukraine is "winning"......on Social Media.

AllKnowing:
Okay okay igbofam! I have never bothered to comment on your many posts about Russia/ Ukraine/ US.

Wait, you’re a Nigerian like me yeah? What’s our gain if these nations kill themselves? But check out the image below and see why this new agreement may be a pipe dream. If it goes through, Bulgarians will bear the brunt of expensive logistics.

Or will the US subsidize gas for them

Maybe the US will subsidize the gas. Will it go down well with the American public? I dunno..

Cheaper US LNG? Hold on....I'm no Gas Engineer, but, I believe the gas in the US has to be liquified and stored in special tanks on LNG ships and transported ACROSS the ATLANTIC OCEAN to Europe to LNG terminals then pumped out, etc.

The Russian pipeline on the other is just a few kilometers away....

....yet the US LNG is cheaper?? How??

Yeah, I followed this story. Here's the thing though: I got to read about it through the Russians on Telegram. They admitted there were some losses at the initial attempts BUT they did finally succeeded in crossing troops and equipment across the river. The Russians are still advancing and I'm certain to a reasonable extent that the Donbass will be in their hands in a few weeks.

As for the claimed 1,500 losses, Ukrainians and pro-west supporters club, abeg fear God na. that lie is too much!

firstone:




They had been retreating until they got attack and defensive weapon � from west mostly USA. Gust what U.S weapon is a game changer

The M777 towed artillery that the Russians just captured?

God forbid bad thing. Tufiakwa!

Yeah, I heard that about 2 months ago.....yet the Russian pain keeps coming like a bad b@*#h. Keep lying to yourself.

Buschlaid:


This is not true at all, even Wagner himself admitted the Mi-8AMTSh was Russian and was destroyed by Ukrainian TB-2.
Why the hell would Ukrainians shoot down their own Mi-8 on island that was occupied by Russia?
Link: https://twitter.com/NotWoofers/status/1523265429531410432?s=20&t=_rUdwEvWRB5USQK6H_JZKA

There is even video of the Mi-8AMTSh flying to Snake Island: https://twitter.com/Caucasuswar/status/1523321956786917376?s=20&t=_rUdwEvWRB5USQK6H_JZKA

Besides, didn't Russia claim that Ukrainian Air Force was destroyed in the first days of war?
This is 2nd month into this war and yesterday I saw a ton of videos of Ukrainian jets and airplanes, but the helicopter on Snake Island clearly wasn't Ukrainian.

That helicopter was Ukrainian with Ukrainian paratroopers, not Russian. Even the landing spot clearly gave it away. Instead of using the existing helipad close to the buildings, the helicopter landed at the far end of the Island with an assault force. Too bad it got blown up.

BabaIbo:
Why are they attacking schools and other soft spots like children hospital?

Why not face the opposing military directly and slug it out.

Cowards!

Because the Ukrainians are HIDING in those schools, using them as resupply points and bases.

@OP, you're mixing up pics. The soldiers with white bands are Wagner Operators (Russian), not Ukrainian.

sapientia:


Keep ranting

Your terrorist views will not change anything

Russia have already been disgraced

The picture released have been verified to be a 3rd May pic

Russia is yet to take a single major city completely after 70 days

Shame

Tell that to Kherson, Berdyansk, Melitopol, and Mariupol.

Eye don clear.

This thing dey pain una enter bone

Credible news media carried the news but here you are posting Twitter gist and expect Mynd44, Lalasticlala or Seun to take your show of shame seriously?

You Putin dullardinhos are truly dullards

Did you even bother to click on any of the links to read the contents. For example, MSN's content CLEARLY said the news was from UNCONFIRMED SOURCES (keyword: UNCONFIRMED). But nope, you just saw titles only and posted.

It's not t90 it t90m

It's not only one they lost
The tank was depoly in ending of April
Russian had lost more than 10 of it

The Turks lost at least 8 Leopard 2 tanks in combat to ISIS

The Saudis lost 23 M1A1 tanks in combat to Houthie rebels.

From the makers of Ghost of Kyiv comes another one: The Phantom Neptune.

Haba Ukraine. You want the Georgians to chew their ties again, especially after 2008 when they got their collective behinds whooped by the Russians?

yanabasee:
He will be released.....

No he won't. The Russians intend to try all foreign fighters.

From the creators of the Ghost of Kyiv..

@ OP, a number of German made Leopard 2 from the Turkish Army, arguably the best tank in the world, were destroyed I'm Syria.

During the Iraqi insurgency, the US Army lost a number of M1A2 tanks to ragtag Iraqi insurgents.

During the Yemen civil war, the Saudis lost a considerable number of same American made M1A2 MBT

I don't see anyone make much noise about those. The Russians on the other hand lose 1 T90, and it's headline? Abeg grow up.

Oga regardless of the reasons, try and pay you workers salary, even if u need to borrow, they are humans and they have needs

"...even if you need to borrow...". You think it's that easy getting a loan, or worse, repaying same loan. Oh if you knew what proprietors go through....if only you knew...

Rastaramsey:
Thats what's up mah niggarr....

Ukraine and NATO keep causing setbacks for Putin

Na that cancer go kill Putin

Causing what setbacks? The Russians withdrew and let them have it. They're basically tieing down the Ukrainians.

jrusky:
That is it. Failure to withdraw from Ukrain no lifting of sanction.

Full stop!!!

If only wishes were horses. Russia will withdraw from Crimea and Donbass when HELL FREEZES OVER and Satan gives his life to Christ.

jrusky:


Story!!! The sanction is going nowhere if Russia refuse to leave Ukrain hungry go roast them like Somalia dem in the next few months.

And pls stop mentioning India when human being are talking, India bu gini? Who is India and what is India? A fuckig country bigger, massive with useless population, Google is your friend bro that fucking big for nothing India is among 10 most poorest nation in the world, among 7 with most illiterate in the world etc and you are here talking India my a s s.

Either the West hidingunder US or not Russia will roast hope you are ware Putin is on terminal sickness trip ba?

Underestimate India at your own peril. Despite it's poverty level, you're talking about a MAJOR Asian powerhouse and the main counterweight to China there. Not only that it is arguably the 2nd HIGHEST ENERGY consumer in the world after China, and all these now work in Russia's favour. Why do you think the Americans are trying so hard to woo the Indians to take up a hardline against Russia without success? The Indians even laughed out the American Deputy National Security Adviser during his last visit, and the British PM had to go to woo the Indians to no avail. So far the Indians have REFUSED to change their neutrality stance while they continue to buy cheap Russian oil at an increasing rate. Everyone's tired of west's hypocrisy.

calcal:
The sanctions are biting Germany and other EU countries. They have been stealing from Russia ever since. I hope the Russians change the mentality of calling themselves part of EU and start producing their daily needs.

Russia is now being treated like an Afro country. Russia should be ashamed of itself. a big country that cannot produce all the daily needs for her people.

EU please add more sanctions to help them get sense by force.

The EU has used up almost everything in their sanction arsenal, and it's not working. You think Russia is some 3rd World Country? You're talking about a global energy superpower. The Russians have done their home work quite well. They close that has tap and Germany, the richest country in Europe, immediately goes into recession. Why do you think European companies are scrambling to open the Ruble account with Gazprom Bank? Even the EU is now split over gas and oil purchase. Even the USA that's pushing the EU and everyone else to take a hardline with Russia still buys fertilizer from Russia, and that's being threatened, thus threats to America's food security. The Russians will NOT back down until their objectives are met and everyone else know this.

Toktee:
You Muslim will keep crying for the terrorists that have vowed to destroy Israel... Call for the deletion of Israel from the middle Eastern map.

Israel never attack innocent Palestinians..

Well you Gus can use Isis to rescue Palestine.

Isreal never attacked innocent Palestinians...they just occupy Palestinian territory, evict them from their homes, place them in the largest open air prison with nowhere to go, jail Palestinians including CHILDREN using Isreali Military Law, prevent them from congregating at their place of worships, and view them as subhumans as segregation is fully humans....so yeah, that..

eyexi:
I don't think all these sanctions are working

Take the War to Russia and obliterate them

Yeah, and start a nuclear WW3. You think this is Call of Duty or some Tom Clancy game or fictional novel?

Dear Germany, Russia will do that.....when HELL FREEZES OVER! What a bunch of jokers
