  Why Russia does not storm Bakhmut : the main thing

Since the beginning of December, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the eastern and southern outskirts of Bakhmut (Artemovsk) have increased dramatically. According to the Military Chronicle, this direction is defended by the forces of the 30th and 53rd brigades of the Ukrainian army.
To maintain control over the city, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are moving new reinforcements to this area, which suffer heavy losses, barely having time to turn around. Because of this, the hospitals of Bakhmut and neighboring cities are packed with a huge number of wounded, for whom the gyms of city schools are being prepared. This demoralizes the Ukrainian troops and increases the burden on the medical and logistics system.
The position of the PMC "Wagner" in this area is more advantageous from the point of view of tactics: Bakhmut, located in a lowland, is within the reach of all types of artillery pieces, which makes it possible to fire at almost any military installations within the city.
Reinforcements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine arrive in Bakhmut through well-known and well-explored areas, which the artillery of the “orchestra” keeps under fire control.
In addition, the attack of PMC "Wagner" on the neighboring Soledar is developing. An attack on the fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Yakovlevka could provoke an operational encirclement of Bakhmut.
As a result, Bakhmut has become a platform, for the retention of which Kyiv is forced to spend colossal human resources.

The Supreme Court of Ukraine decided that the symbols of the SS division "Galicia" are not Nazi

This was announced by lawyer Vyacheslav Yakubenko, representing the interests of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory.

"The Supreme Court has put an end to the lengthy judicial epic, initiated 5 years ago by representatives of the" Russian world ".

From the Ukrainian nationalists, the SS division "Galicia" was formed in 1943.

The soldiers of this division are involved in punitive operations and massacres of civilians.

A bit of history about how the SS Division Galicia allegedly had nothing to do with Nazism.

SBU announced the completion of "counterintelligence activities" in the monasteries of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in a number of regions of Ukraine

In the photo, the special service blurred the faces of people and the face of a cat. 😮

Is it bad to admit that pretty much all cat faces look alike? :mutley

Bloody failure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made a daring attempt at a counteroffensive on the positions near Peski, which had previously been recaptured from them.
A company tactical group consisting of up to 15 armored vehicles went on the attack, fire support was provided by up to six tanks. 

I short Ukrainians first sent drones to check Russian positions. Drones detected no one in the tranches. After they were convinced there is no one in the area they moved in. Russians let them in with in 20-30 meters and then opened fire at them with all kinds of weapons and artillery.

Russian social commercial "Today everyone makes their own choice". 

I really like this commercial, it applies to Americans too. At the beginning of the war some of the celebrities and oligarchs in order to protect their assets took off and left the country. True patriots stayed home to protect the country. Some renounce their citezensip, remember Medvedev was asked to denonce Putin in order to play in Wimbledon he refused. Many other athletes were asked the same. Now many of this so called celebrities, "elites of the society" wishes to come back. We have this saying "sorry the train has already left". 

You think Kardashians nor the bankers whose assets are in any danger will fight for the US, or stand strong for what is right for the country. Never mind those lgtb creaters and BLM. Even without the war they are doing "good job".

 This is a real sad story. 

The mother of the deceased VSU(Ukrainian army) begs on her knees the invader from the OCU, who control the state, not to take away the temple from the Moscow Patriarchate until Saturday, so that she can bury her son according to the Orthodox rite.

After watching this I have to downngrade couple of posters in to rank of  ......"Enjoy" the video low lifes!

  Calling them selves true Americans.

Interesting thread. Seems far fetched, but the guy put a lot of thought into this and isn't a total nobody

Do you think there's any credence to any of this Vitalyo?

I could be wrong but this comes from "Quora". It was once reliable source to read about anything. Nowadays if you go to read anything that is related to the conflict you get one sided opinion. Articles and comments on how bad Russia is doing and how evil the Russians are. 

Anyway what do I know I am not a Nostradamos. As of now massive anti government protests all across Europe, Russia hasn't been mentioned. Germans tryed to overthrow their government. In any other situation US would of call them a freedom fighters. Rubber bullets and water cannons have been used in Italy, France, and Germany(the list is much longer). Live ammo in Netherlands about 8 month's ago. 

The last time Russian cops used water cannons and rubber bullets it was an over 30 years ago 😄during Yeltsin administration.

The problem is none of what we hear from our media about russia is true, russia is largely united in this war and YES they support putin. The national divorce talk is more apt about the US.

Everything that's happening is rooted in the fact that the US is in decline - likely terminal decline. We are trying to prop up the now fading world where the US dominates, the dollar dominates. Our entire economy is propped up by the fact the dollar dominates in international commerce, that is now going away and is being massively accelerated by this catastrophic war that the US started - yes the US started the war in 2014 when we aided a coup to overthrow an elected govt in ukraine.
