Putin, you get nuclear oya bring am out cos NATO is expanding Finland and Sweden will join Nato soon
Putin can't finish small Ukraine and has exhausted his military capabilities. It would be suicidal than to face either of Sweden or Finland. Best he can use is the nuclear weapon and multiple nuclear would land in Russia in return.

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 grin

Lwkmd cheesy

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 grin
grin MUMU grin
Let me help u with a real map.
Kharkiv is almost like Azovstal steel mill grin
Plenty Ukrainian troop in a position in which they are strategically USELESS grin
It is better to encircle them and make retreat and reinforcement impossible. It will hasten their slaughter grin
The goal now is to complete the encircle of Kramatosk. The slaughter on that front is loading grin

And Ukraine is been massively armed and supported by mercenaries by the west ........

Russia would never win this war ....... Sweden and Finland too, teaming up with NATO, to further isolate russia .........

Why you want to forcefully take another land, is truly amazing...........

Are Russian troops still in Kharkiv or have the Ukrainian forces driven them out?

The OP is factual and you know it grin

Stop crying blood bro
You should understand a tactical withdrawal when you see it. the Russian troops have been withdrawing with little fight. If Ukraine is winning then why is the US calling for a cease-fire? why is Macron telling Ukraine it would have to give up some of its territories?

@ 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 talk too much without making sense

Every time the Russian Army retreats from the failed takeover of a Ukrainian city, you guys try to convince us that the city was considered strategically unimportant. We know better, starting with Kiev. Which strategy includes retreating from the capital without leaving soldiers to occupy the entire city? Which Army would waste time and resources attacking cities that are ‘strategically unimportant’?
You know better, just like we know better.

Win which battle? Enemies came to your home, destroyed more than 50%, caused over 6 million of your citizens to flee and become refugees in different countries, and are now retreating after all the destruction. And you say you are winning?

May God not allow us so foolish to the extent of seeing something like this as winning......

I remember VERY well,when this whole drama started, the Putin fans where making mouth, even saying if US and NATO dare interfere they will receive it wotowoto etc, saying it will take Russia less than 2 weeks to capture Kiev,ladies and gentle men pls remind me how many months is it now? Has Kiev been captured? Unless you want to deceive yourself,Russia no be America mate at all,lol this war has proven it beyond any reasonable doubt,they are the world most powerful nation for real and for a reason,gathering nukes( which you most likely can't even use) doesn't make a nation a world power,same nukes USA also get plenty for ground...its well o.
