Moscow is burning. I am afraid things are getting really bad for Russia.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
522 bodies returned to Ukraine, 33 to Russia.
Rai-Alexandrivka has fallen to the Russians in the Group South area of responsibility towards Slavyansk-Kramatorsk. This settlement has been hotly contested. Only one other settlement is left between Russian lines and Slavyansk-Kramatorsk, now 10-12km.
Moscow oil refinery hit after defenses are overwhelmed by the sheer number of drones.
Iskander strike with cluster munitions against a Ukrainian gas processing plant in Poltava.

None of that is going to help them right now though, which was the point that Mar ling was making. Moreover, holding Donbass most likely won't help them even after the war - it will take years, if not decades, and huge investments to rebuild the region back to the industrial and mining powerhouse it once was. Donbass has been an active war zone for almost 12 years now - most of the industrial base was destroyed, same for the infrastructure.
This is so gorgeous, Mordor follows its destiny.
Here a little more eye candy.

Be fearful for yourself, not for Russia. I'd trade an oil plant for 2 cities anyday.
Don't worry; Russia can build more on all the extra land they took. And don't be so modest; I think the fall of your country's economy and industry is much more gorgeous to look at as well as the facial expressions of your politicians as they learned that they failed to secure a spot on the UN security council. And unlike this, it'll be around for all to enjoy for the long term.
Here's some eye candy for you from the streets of Kyiv, with love, from Russia.
You can find many more with a simple search if you like.

Curious how you call Russia Mordor but not the genocide masquerading as a nation(Israel) and it's attack dog(United States). If Israel or the US was in Russia's place they would have already gotten rid of entire cities and turned them into Gaza and i bet my life that Europe but specifically the EU would have looked at it and said "Good Riddance" or what Merz has said about Israel and the Palestinian genocide "They're doing civilizations dirty work".
Mind you that Russia supports Iran and would aid China in fighting the US or Japanese. They have aided Mali in fighting off a bunch of Jihadist terrorists trained by Ukraine founded by the west, aided Burkina Faso gain it's independence from the French and are also helping out Niger so they're not the evil you and your country keeps depicting them as.
So take your schadenfreude somewhere else, we don't need people that feel euphoric at the idea of Russians dying in mass.

Interesting, but how its translate to the battlefield? The Ukrainians for a few years have been hitting stuff in Russia including some energy installations but that has not resulted in gains in the Donbass region not a single meter of Ukraine own territory has been regain by Zelensky, he has been losing more and more towns. What this has resulted is in Russia hitting in Ukraine where they suspect the Ukraines are building their weapons. This will likely result in escalatory and bigger missile and drone attacks into Ukraine.
That is one the problem I had with US in Iran. The US was able to hit a lot stuff in Iran. More than the Ukranians could ever hit in Russia but that didn't translate into even tactical victories let alone strategic ones. Russia is many many times bigger than Iran.
Let see what happens.

Its about the hearts and minds. Ukraine is mainly relying on the psychological aspects of the war and focusing in Russian people to give up due to escalating damages, economic hardship and overall sense of hopelessness.
The war will be decided not on who take more land, but who will give up first.
Ukraine likely will not give up due to extreme backing from the west. But Russia does not have unlimited patience, money or willpower due to being the aggressor.

They are at least equal in willpower, if not, it is in Russia's favor. Russia doesn't feel like the aggressor; to Russians, they are defending the Russosphere. There are far more Ukrainians who recognize their Russian roots than the other way around. The West does not have unlimited patient, money or willpower to continue to support Ukraine and China hasn't even started yet. Russia is far far larger in land, resource and population, with equal or greater willpower, feels fully justified in its actions, and unlike Ukraine whose supporters are all exhausted, Russia's main backer hasn't even really entered the ring yet.
