🇷🇺🇺🇦 UPDATE ON THE RUSSO-UKRAINIAN WAR DAY 616

Apparently, Leopard II's are disappearing off the frontlines like a giant whack-a-mole game for Russian Forces.

In the Donetsk direction:

A Ukrainian Leopard II moved into Avdiivka as part of a successful reinforcement operation bringing in reserves yesterday. One day later, the same Leopard II was seen burning on the battlefield.

Russian Forces have established air dominance over the Donetsk Oblast and are systematically destroying infrastructure, armored equipment, ammunition depots and concentrations of manpower as Russian Forces probe every inch of the frontline.

De-mining equipment is in heavy use by Russian Forces around Avdiivka, in the northern salient and the southern salients both.

Russian Forces are taking heavy losses during some operations around the Avdiivka direction, particularly to the north, paying the toll on their way towards fulfilling their strategic goal of enveloping Avdiivka from the north, south, west and closing the pincer from the west.

Russian Forces targeted the bridge connecting Konstiantynivka with Marinka, using a missile strike as part of their operation to cut off and assault Novomykhailivka, a goal to which the Russian Forces have been working on for quite some time.

De-mining operations have been ongoing for days to the north and south in preparation for an assault still to come.

Yesterday, Russian Forces managed to push through the mine fields right up to the outskirts of Novomykhailivka from the south without being Intercepted by enemy fire.

A second position of Russian Forces south of Novomykhailivka was hit by Ukrainian FPV drones targeting collected manpower.

On the Vremivka tactical salient:

Few updates, Russian Forces targeted Ukrainian Forces in the village of Starimayorsk with artillery fire, 30 casualties were reported by the Russian MoD.

Ukrainian Forces have been taking an "operational pause" here.

Ukrainian Forces have been shut down in their attempts to recollect and rotate their forces in the west of Robotyne, with the Russian MoD reporting Ukrainian losses numbering 140, 11 armored vehicles and two artillery systems. Bringing the weekly total above 70 for destroyed or damaged Ukrainian armored vehicles.

In the Kherson direction:

Russian Forces continue hammering Ukrainian footholds on the Left bank of the Dnieper, with few updates from the Ukrainian side as Russian Forces bomb and shell their positions.

Russian Forces seem to have allowed Ukrainian Forces to take those footholds on their side of the Dnieper, increasing the rate of attrition on the Ukrainian Forces in the region by as much as four times, going from roughly 30-40 per day, to upwards of 120-140 per day according to Russian sources.

Russian Forces were heavily bombing and shelling Baryslav, pressuring Ukrainian concentrations of manpower and ammunition depots.

In the Bakhmut Direction:

Russian Forces were using FPV drone attacks to pressure Ukrainian manpower on the Russian side of the railroad tracks by Andriivka, south of Bakhmut, Ukrainians Forces having successfully re-acquired footholds east of the village, but seem unable to consolidate their control under heavy FPV drone attack.

In Klischiivka, Russian Forces are bombing and shelling Ukrainian positions, attempting to slow Ukrainian efforts to consolidate their control of the flattened village, digging in deeper and fortifying where they can to press Russian Forces in Bakhmut.

In the Siversk direction:

As result of Russian bombing, missile strikes and shelling in region, the Russian MoD is reporting Ukrainian losses of 250 soldiers and 5 armored vehicles, including one tank and two artillery systems. The level of attrition on Ukrainian Forces has increased significantly here.

To the north, Russian Forces have been heavily bombing and shelling Ukrainian positions in Makiivka, destroying concentrations of manpower in the region. A result of counter-artillery strike.

No reported changes in the Kupiansk direction.

In Ivanivka, Ukrainian Forces were caught moving towards forward positions in the direction of Yahidne but Russian Forces were bombing and shelling the Ukrainian forward positions and one Ukrainian soldier was seen running away at that time, likely the sole surviving member of his unit.

🇺🇲🇺🇦 UK's TELEGRAPH IS REPORTING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SUPPORTS SENDING ANOTHER $100 BIILLION TO UKRAINE IN "ONE-AND-DONE" AID PACKAGE

The UK's Telegraph is reporting the Biden Administration is looking to request a "one-and-done" aid package to Ukraine worth up to $100 Billion to cover weapons procurements through 2025.

NATO leadership and Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelensky have expressed concern aid money could dry up as the population and some elected officials within the United States sour on sending more money to the embattled Eastern European nation.

According to the Telegraph's report, some officials in the Biden Administration believe passing one large aid package worth up to $100 Billion would give the administration the best chance of funding the war through the election season, an attempt at neutralizing the issue for 2024.

The administration believes this would avoid further debates in Congress over Ukraine arms funding next year as Donald Trump and a handful of other Republican officials have been attacking Democrats and the Biden Administration over the war, arguing the money should be spent on other more pressing economic and social issues within the US domestic political arena.

According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, 41% of all voters support sending weapons to Ukraine, down from 46% in May, with the biggest drop in support coming from Democrats, down 9 percentage points to 52%.

However, the Biden Administration also said they were "not making any decisions about whether to do one big package or about how much it would be" until after a replacement for Kevin McCarthy has been elected.

Wunderwaffe-Wonder Weapon- Definition: any weapon you wonder why they're sending to Ukraine 🤔🤔🤔

Two anonymous (because of course they are) officials told ABC News the Biden Administration is likely to send long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems, more commonly known by their acronym ATACMS, to Ukraine so they can more easily strike targets behind enemy lines.

Of course we know the reality is that Ukraine attempts to use these weapons in battle, but when they do not succeed or end up being unhelpful, Kiev then turns to firing these weapons at civilians living in the Eastern territories under Russian control or firing them directly into Russian border towns, also killing civilians. It is a crude attempt at public coercion. Terrorism essentially.

ATACMS has an operational range of 190mi/306km and is fired from the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems or HIMARS.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously stated that the longer the range of the weapons sent to Ukraine, the further he will drive into Ukrainian territory to create a buffer between Russian territories and the Kiev Regime.

Retired DoD Intel Operative & Political Commentator Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaffer gave a stark warning to Americans last night when he said on MOATS with George Galloway, after being asked about Tucker Carlson's warning of a coming hot-war with Russia:

"The answer is it's very likely. I put it at the 80% likelihood."

-

"Vladimir Putin, who is not bluffing, he is doing what he believes is necessary to protect the Russian empire, the Russian Republic, it is what it is, and George, the West, England and the United States in particular, don't seem to be listening to him. He has been very clear about what he's trying to achieve."

More and more political commentators and ex-Military and Intelligence officers are sending off warnings that America is sleep-walking straight into a third World War, with likely world-ending catastrophic results.

This war has to end NOW.

Negotiate NOW, not later.

State-funded Ukraine War Propaganda made its appearance at Burning Man this year...

And when you try to search for the phrase "Ukraine War Propaganda at Burning Man" you very coincidentally get results from articles writing about that awful Russian Propaganda supposedly all over the internet. Supposedly because I only ever encounter one narrative and one side's propaganda when online and that's Western Propaganda.

Sorry if I don't trust any narrative my Govt and Capitalist Elites have to work this hard to sell me on

Fascist Ukraine is cracking down on dissidents lately. The SBU thought it was a good time to remind the public who's in control by arresting former Communist Party of Ukraine leader Georgi Buiko, a native of Donetsk and one-time member of the CCCP.

Ukraine isn't just erasing the symbols of its Soviet History, as well as its History as a part of the Russian Empire, the propaganda campaign underway in Ukraine would make Goebbels blush. Ukrainian authorities have completely invented an imaginary new history of Ukraine that claims Ukraine has been an independent and sovereign nation for more than a thousand years. A complete and utter fiction.

From the very beginning after the Euromaiden Coup, the new Far-Right Ukrainian leadership moved to quickly stifle dissent and eradicate all Socialist/Communist influence or symbolism from Ukrainian culture, society, and history.

Even Leftists and anti-Imperialists feel the need to apologize for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and declare it illegal. And that instinct to reject war out of hand is a positive one overall. But in this case, it is unjustified.

No one, least of all the Russians, should have to apologize for Russia's response to US and NATO aggression. Putin went WAY out of his way to engage the West in negotiations prior to the start of the war, and I no longer believe any aspect of this war was avoidable for the Russians based on US and NATO actions since Euromaiden. The US and NATO wanted a war, and that's what they got. Only NATO expected to be able to control the results and narratives around the war, and clearly they are not succeeding.

Sickening words from Brookings Institution Political Elites who think wasting $113 Billion is a great deal for Americans, even as the govt offers only $700 a person to the handful of survivors of the Lahaina Wildfires, even after losing their homes, cars, jobs, pets, personal and sentimental items, and even their entire families. It was yet another easily preventable, predictable disaster our government did nothing to prevent, and is actively opening the door to giant corporations to rape the resources of Maui and use the disaster to gentrify the island and displace Working Class Natives.

Meanwhile, our fully corrupt Political Elite brag about the destruction of Ukraine, claiming it's the best deal in history to have tens of thousands of Ukrainians dying so America can weaken its adversary Russia.

However, anyone taking one look at the current Geopolitical situation can see the rise of a Multipolar world, with rising Powers aligning to undermine US imperialism.

As these BRICS countries and their allies integrate economically, and as that integration increasingly degrades US Dollar dominance, US debts will begin to result in stubbornly high inflation that cannot be stifled using Washington's traditional tools of raising interest rates and stifling Working and Middle Class demand.

The American people will take the hit as Political Elites in the US refuse to subsidize Workers, guarantee them jobs, or raise the minimum wage to keep up with inflation.

But in the long run, this is good even for US Workers. The degradation of US Dollar dominance will mean US legislators will eventually have to begin to live within their means. Profligate spending on Military bases all across the globe and maintaining Global Empire will become next to impossible, and money can begin to return to the US to be invested at home instead of for foreign wars that only help US Capitalist Elites at the expense of Working people.

Fucking Christ, I really don't get how ANYONE buys into the Bullshit narratives and propaganda around the Ukraine War. NONE of it makes ANY sense at all. The Narratives are contradictory and the news is overflowing with easily disprovable facts that blow the entire narrative out of the water, and I've been posting examples of that since February 2022.

Okay, like falling for the Covid narrative and all the very much sly and polished propaganda campaigns, now that even tricked lots of intelligent people including myself, and still does. Because hey! They got boosters to sell you on.

But the Ukraine War is TOTAL fucking scam, and anyone falling for this at this point isn't worth your time convincing. The evidence for the disintegration of the Ukraine War narrative is obvious and all around you, melting away like the UAF in the face of Russian Defensive lines they'll never even breach the first of.

All this war is good for is the profiting of US and European Defense Contractors.

According to the Russian media service Military Chronicle, who did a survey using publicly available satellite imagery to measure the expansion of Ukrainian cemeteries during the course of the SMO have determined that no less than 185'000 Ukrainians have been killed in the year between July 2022 and July 2023.

This Proxy-war needs to end NOW

A Plurality of French and German citizens now believe the United States is more responsible for the Proxy War in Ukraine than Russia, while a majority believe Russia is not responsible.

Polls published by Navalny's anti-Putin Organization as though this is a serious cause for concern...

Page from a 4th Grade textbook from modern Ukraine.

Already at 10 years of age, children in Ukraine are not only being taught to feel sorry for themselves and their situation, instead of learning to critically analyze geopolitical events, but they're also encouraging the youths of Ukraine to be dependent on Foreign charity, an essential dependence required by Imperialist Nations to control their Vassals.

Remember what they say kids, there are no Nazis in Ukraine...
