I wonder what will happen in future years to all the Ukrainian Nazis we're supporting. Hey, remember in Rambo III when they dedicated it to the Afghan Mujahedeen? How did that turn out for us?
Oh, dear. We were paid back with 9/11? Surely we will get no comeuppance this time. You hear me? No comeuppance!

Go stick yourself where the sun don’t shine. If 9/11 were payback for being anything other than daring to be exuberantly not Sharia-compliant, 9/11 would have been done to Moscow.

Tribal Afghans showing up elsewhere as mercenaries ...wow, what a surprise! Next somebody, like Spike, will tell us how amazed he is that former Waffen SS served in the French Foreign Legion.

That may be the plan, Glenmore. I'm thinking (but I'm no expert) that this might be the 'Bargaining Line' that the Bear will offer.
Nothing else. No reparations.
Plus all the regular army troops can now be sent to the breakaway republics to bolster the craptacular irregulars there now (including Vagner). Expect the next push might head west to secure all of both Donetsk and Luhansk, plus maybe a good part of Zaporizhzhia. Bear keeps southern Kherson as a buffer for Crimea. They want to keep Sevastopol and the oil/gas onshore/offshore fields.

Northern Crimea is right next to southern Kherson district. (Armyansk is about 60 miles from Kherson )
Perhaps the Rus are just being cautious. Perhaps they are expecting company. Zelensky *has* expressed an interest in reclaiming the territory.

Just saw a history video on the Kursk campaign, and the trenches looked exactly like that, just a little deeper. Given the reported re-emergence of the ancestral T-34, is it Deja Vue all over again?

Antonovsky bridge section collapsed. No evidence of blast damage from Russians blowing it up. Likely collapsed from Russian heavy vehicles driving on it, though Ukrainians could have put more holes in it when they were attacking the barge/pontoon bridge next to it. Pontoon bridge also destroyed with a vehicle still on it.
The train bridge was was blown up yesterday by Russians. It was already too damaged from train traffic but people could walk across it.
#2
New photos show that, in addition to the one span that collapsed, a large section was blown up by the Russians. The Russians destroyed not only the bridge spans but also the support piers.
#5
Doubt anyone knows how many Russian soldiers are still on the right bank. They were given orders to switch to civilian clothes and make their way across the river the best they can. The Ukrainian army is going though the territory and when finding Russians offering them the chance to surrender.

Sergi has made the tough decision. Russian civilians and solders removed from Kherson. Now for the Ukrainians to move in with the West celebrating. The meat grinder will be in full operation. Ground freezing temperatures now needed for several days. 37 degrees now. Soon massive overwhelming forces to be deployed. Washington back channels knowing this have been pushing for negotiations with Ukraine and Russia. No trust in these people only firm military force is now required. The Russian people want to finish this. You remove Putin you invite a more aggressive advance by Russia. The West has done everything wrong. They can't even determine who sabotaged the pipelines. Vietnam, Afghanistan, and now bungling Biden will deliver the same result in Ukraine.
#2
I doubt they have lost that many. We have seen the Russians pulling out for a couple weeks and the rapid pace of the Ukrainians to regain the ground I think speak of a pretty well operated pullout by Russia. How many armored vehicles and equipment left behind is the real question.

Rantburg U!
I love how many different skillsets we have from the readers and commenters. Any topic can have someone that is knowledgeable adding to the discussion.

The only people selling and buying this 5k - 20k number are the NAFO type folks.
I am in agreement. We have seen the Russians pulling armor and such back and using ferries to move them to the eastern bank. Looks like they did the hollow balloon withdrawl. They kept ammo and heavy equipment at the front, but evacuated the rest behind. They hollowed out the occupied area, then collapsed it back as they pulled out.
We'll see more videos and evidence if more things have been left behind, but the troops withdrawing didn't seem like a panic as the northern retreats were. So far it looks deliberate and planned. As of know I would estimate maybe 1,000 killed, wounded and missing as we have seen Russian convoys hit while they retreat. But they got the lion's share of their soldiers out I think. Along with most of the artillery and a good bit of the armored vehicles.
#19
Well planned withdrawal in what; three days, not three weeks as per Milley. Ukrainian missile attacks to disrupt electronically diverted. New tactic emp use by Russians. They have some of the most advanced electronic systems available.

This arouses the indignation of employees, who, even without this, have monthly deductions for the support of the mobilized, who participate in the war on the territory of Ukraine.
According to detailed information, the so-called evacuation of the population from the city of Kherson has been stopped due to the lack of willing people. In the city, the occupation authorities stopped issuing wages and social benefits.

They are already waiting for "training officers" from the Pacific Fleet to put down the rebellion and raise morale ," he said.
According to Cherevaty, the level of losses of the Russian army is "unprecedented" for the 21st century.
" This is closer to the Second World War. In Vietnam, the US lost 58,000 in eight years, even then it was considered a huge loss ," said the speaker of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It is worth noting that the artillerymen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to use M-46 guns manufactured in the 1950s in the Soledar area in the Bakhmut direction.
According to the soldiers of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade "Kholodny Yar", with the help of these guns they beat off enemy attacks every day.
" Watching their fast and accurate work is a pleasure. And the moment of a shot from a 130-mm M-46 cannon is an unsurpassedly beautiful and powerful sight ," the military says.

09:35 British intelligence believes that the withdrawal of Russian forces from the right-bank Kherson region will be carried out within a few days with defensive positions and covering the retreating forces with artillery fire. Analysts say Russia's ability to maintain its forces on the western bank of the Dnieper has been threatened by Ukrainian strikes against Russian supply routes. As they retreated, Russian troops destroyed several bridges and likely laid mines to slow down and delay the advance of Ukrainian troops.
The loss of the western bank of the Dnieper River near Kherson is likely to prevent Russia from realizing its strategic ambition to create a land corridor to Odessa. Due to the limited number of crossing points, Russian forces will be vulnerable when crossing the Dnieper, intelligence indicates.
09:29 The head of the Lugansk OVA, Serhiy Gaidai, reported on the difficult situation near Svatovo and Kremennaya. According to him, the Russians have accumulated a lot of reserves there. He also said that despite Russian claims to control Belogorivka, there were Ukrainian forces there. Fighting is going on in the village, Belogorovka itself has been destroyed.
09:24 In the Kharkiv region, over the past day, the enemy fired at the cities of Kupyansk and Volchansk, the village of Dvurechnaya and other settlements of the Kupyansky, Chuguevsky and Kharkov regions. In Volchansk, an infrastructure facility was damaged, in Kupyansk, a fire broke out in a store building as a result of shelling, one person was injured, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said.
09:18 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of enemy shelling, three civilians were killed - two in Bakhmut and one in Pavlovka. In addition, in Yarovaya, law enforcement officers found the bodies of five killed by Russians during the occupation. Another 12 people were injured in the region, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.
08:57 At night, the Russians fired at three communities in the Dnipropetrovsk region - Marganets, Krasnogrigoryevsk and Nikopol from multiple launch rocket systems and heavy artillery. In Nikopol, one person was injured, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.
08:52 Biden expects that after the US midterm elections, no matter the outcome, assistance to Ukraine will continue uninterruptedly: "In the field of foreign policy, I hope that we will continue this bipartisan approach to confronting Russian aggression in Ukraine. This is my expectation." At the same time, he stressed that the United States does not write "blank checks" to Ukraine, that is, they do not agree to all requests for help.
08:25 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that the priority for Russian troops in the Kherson direction now is the organized withdrawal of their forces through the Dnieper and the delay of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and not an attempt to completely stop the Ukrainian counteroffensive. Analysts say the Russian retreat is unlikely to be a trap designed to lure Ukrainian forces into fighting near Kherson, as some Ukrainian and Western sources suggest.
According to ISW experts, Russian troops, military and economic assets are steadily withdrawing from the western bank of the Dnieper, and Russian officials are waiting and preparing to withdraw in a manner inconsistent with a campaign to deceive and trap Ukrainian troops.
08:11 The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, called for a "window of opportunity" to start the negotiation process between Ukraine and the Russian Federation: "When there is an opportunity to negotiate, when peace can be achieved, take advantage of it. Seize the moment." In his opinion, a "window of opportunity" may appear if the front line stabilizes during the winter.
Milli also recalled the huge losses of the Russians - more than 100 thousand soldiers were wounded and killed. But, according to him, Ukraine has no less. In addition, 40 thousand Ukrainian civilians have already been killed during the war, and from 15 to 30 million people have become refugees, the general added.
At the same time, the general specified that regardless of whether the negotiations take place, the United States will continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine, "even if a complete military victory of either side looks less and less likely."
07:35 The enemy is conducting offensive operations in the Bakhmut and Avdeevsky directions. Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled attacks by invaders in the areas of the settlements of Novoselovskoe and Makiivka in the Luhansk region and Soledar, Kleschievka, Mayorsk, Yakovlevka, Andreevka, Belogorivka, Vesele, Nevelskoye, Pervomayskoye and Novomikhailovka in the Donetsk region, the General Staff said in the morning summary .
According to updated information, the "evacuation" of the population from Kherson was stopped due to the lack of people willing. In the city, the occupying authorities stopped issuing wages and social benefits. In the Crimean Dzhankoy, the occupiers transferred a civilian hospital to a military hospital, there are up to 800 wounded.
According to the General Staff, the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation in Togliatti, Samara region, received an order to recruit 1,000 candidates for service in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. At the same time, additional funds are collected at the chemical enterprises of the city to support the regional division. This causes indignation among the workers, who already receive monthly funds in support of the mobilized.
05:59 In the coming weeks, France will transfer six more Caesar self-propelled guns to Ukraine, said Defense Minister Sebastian Lecornu.
04:37 Washington will not provide Ukraine with the modern Gray Eagle MQ-1C drones that Kiev requested, The Wall Street Journal writes, citing sources. According to the publication, the Pentagon rejected the request, fearing that the provision of drones could escalate the conflict and send a signal to Moscow that the United States is providing weapons that could target positions in Russia.
03:06 In the north of Crimea, Russians are restoring old and digging new trenches. The corresponding Planet Lab satellite images were published by OSINT analyst Benjamin Pitte. So, the Russians restored the trenches at the Chongar checkpoint between Crimea and the Kherson region and dug new trenches. Also, trenches appeared in the area of Armyansk. Old trenches are being repaired and new ones are being dug.
02:39 Biden said that the Kremlin began to have serious problems with the combat capability of the army if it was decided to withdraw troops from Kherson. However, he added that this decision was expected. "At the very least, this will give everyone time to rebuild positions for the winter period. And it remains to be seen whether Ukraine is ready to compromise with Russia," the US president added.

[RIA] Exactly 40 years ago, on November 10, 1982, a festive concert in honor of the Day of the Soviet Militia, which had been standing there for a long time, fell out of the television broadcast grid. Instead, classical music played on TV. This led to unequivocal thoughts - and they were justified. The next day, November 11, the death of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR L. I. Brezhnev was officially announced. Continued on Page 49

How do the Russian people think about Brezhnev's Afghanistan invasion at this point? Any re-evaluation in light of America's own adventure in the area?
--- at every moment of the Soviet presence, Afghanistan remained a de facto and legally independent state, the responsibility for the success of the defeat of which fell entirely on the shoulders of its government. However, despite them, now many former opponents of the PDPA regime admit that they were able to change the situation in the country only for the worse. For example, the publicist Kasim Akhgar, who previously fought in the Mujahideen detachments, now speaks positively about the times of the Soviet presence: “I, as a person who took part in the anti-Soviet resistance, admit that in those days the people lived better” 19) .

[RIA] The departure of our army from Kherson to the left bank of the Dnieper provoked the expected reaction from a part of society - what a horror, everything is gone. They also repeat one of the most famous phrases in Russian history: "What is this - stupidity or treason?"
These words were uttered 106 years ago, on November 14, 1916: at a meeting of the State Duma, the leader of the Cadet Party, Pavel Milyukov, in his speech denouncing the authorities, posed the question point-blank: "What is this - stupidity or treason?"
Among the accusations thrown in the face of the supreme power - the royal court and the government - the main one was that she was looking for a "shameful peace" with Germany. The leader of the opposition named (prudently quoting the German press) those who allegedly constitute this traitorous party: among them were Prime Minister Stürmer (from Russian Germans) and Grigory Rasputin. Milyukov's speech was banned by the censors, but it was on the lists.
A few days later, Stürmer was dismissed (not because of Milyukov's speech), the next month Rasputin was killed - and two months later it was February 1917 ...
None of what Milyukov said was true—neither the royal court nor the government were conducting secret negotiations with Germany. But then a considerable part of educated society believed Milyukov, who, after the abdication of Nicholas II, became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia and tried to wage the war to a victorious end.
Russia returns itself to itself - both territorially and spiritually, and ideologically. The former Ukraine no longer exists
But the army without a king at the head (who was, after all, also the supreme commander in chief) began to decompose along with the whole country - and instead of victory, we got a revolution, the obscene Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (that is, the loss of western lands, including Ukraine ) and the Civil War. Why remember it now?
Moreover, the indignation at the next statement of our Foreign Ministry that Russia is ready for negotiations with Ukraine is very reminiscent of those same Milyukov sufferings - how is it, why did we fight, we can’t allow a blow to the back of our army, we need to stop the traitors in the elite who are ready to surrender Russian interests in negotiations (secret or overt)!
Bad news from the fronts is commented on in exactly the same way - they are leaving Kherson because they want to come to an agreement with the West, start negotiations, and refuse to defeat Ukraine! Here are the traitors - they only think about their skins and capital! It is necessary to expose everyone, remove them and put them on trial, and the one who does not understand and does not do this is a traitor himself!
We have been hearing and reading all this for a very long time, but now there is another exacerbation of pseudo-patriotic hysteria. It covers a small part of society, but this is not good either. Moreover, there is a threat that in the event of defeats at the front, combined with some new announcement of negotiations, neurosis will spread to the broad masses, that is, it will threaten the main condition for our victory: popular unity in trust in the supreme power.
To prevent this from happening, you need to know the lessons of history well - including remembering November 1916 - and be aware of what is happening now, distinguish between real and imaginary threats.
Russia is not threatened with treason - Putin will never agree to a "shameful peace" either with Ukraine or with the West. On February 24 this year, a historic choice was made, the Rubicon was crossed, after which Russia can only move forward. Stumbling, making mistakes, missing blows, concentrating, even temporarily retreating tactically, but strategically moving only forward.
The speed of this movement can be different - it depends on our efforts, and on external resistance, and on the global situation. The words that our Foreign Ministry and even Putin speak to the public can also be different - and even very peaceful, but at the same time they serve very specific tactical goals. Not replacing and certainly not canceling the strategic goal, which is crystal clear. Russia returns itself to itself - both territorially and spiritually, and ideologically. The former Ukraine no longer exists - and on the pages of future Russian history there is already another Russia.
Not only with Donetsk and Kherson, but also with Novorossia and Little Russia. And with the rest of Ukraine torn from the hands of the West, which will never again be either anti-Russia or "alternative Russia." Only one thing can hinder the implementation of this - a split and unrest in Russia itself, that is, doubt in our victory and in the fact that Putin wants and can lead to it. If we again, as in 1917, intoxicate ourselves with hysterical cries of "treason" - only then will we lose. And not Ukraine, but in general everything.
And there is no betrayal in the elites, because those who do not share the aspirations for victory, firstly, have no influence on the supreme power, and, secondly, cease and cease to be an "elite". Yes, we have a huge personnel problem due to the fact that professionals are often unpatriotic, and patriots are unprofessional, but in an extreme situation, all processes are accelerated, and the formation of a new, state-minded elite (from power to business and culture) will go much faster.
But renewal should not be replaced by a search for traitors and traitors in power (excluding, of course, real traitors), we do not need purges for the sake of purges - we need to get rid of weak and incompetent leaders, while relying on the consolidation of all forces that understand the seriousness of the challenges facing us tasks.
At the same time, the country will change more and more seriously - formulating and acquiring meanings, realizing its essence and building a national formula for its existence not just for the period of storm and onslaught, but also for the subsequent peacetime. This is a process no less important than at the front, and it is precisely in it that there should be both maximum trust in each other and the desire to translate the Russian dream into the constructions of a future just social order.
But victory at the front, at the same time, has no alternative for us - regardless of how much effort and time it takes to achieve it. It can be stolen from us not by betrayal at the top, but by those who, out of good intentions, out of stupidity and weakness, or will deliberately inflate panic moods, shouting "everything is lost, treason in the Kremlin." It is to them that Milyukov's "Stupidity or Treason?" can actually be attributed. Alas, there are also the second ones among them - those who directly rely on turmoil, that is, they work for the enemy.
And Russian history gives us numerous examples of how to distinguish between real and fictional betrayal - how to distinguish 1612 from 1916. We have learned these lessons.
Stupidity is to look for treason when there is none and cannot be, and treason is to try to kindle distrust of those who are only aimed at winning.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Russian troops are moving to the left bank of the Dnieper in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction in accordance with the plan, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
First it was "goodwill steps", then redeployment, then regrouping, then withdrawal, now maneuver. It is a pity that they did not specify, was this provided for by the plan, which was approved on February 24 or even earlier?
The most interesting thing is that the RF Armed Forces retreat from the city, worsened their disposition. According to information just a few days ago, the military from the field and military correspondents, there were every opportunity to hold the city.
Retreat could only be by political decision. It happened. Now the RF Armed Forces, instead of good positions, will be located on the eastern bank in a lowland relative to the western bank of the Dnieper. That is, under an excellent opportunity for shelling from the enemy. Standing on the left bank is like standing as a target in a shooting range. Is this incomprehensible?
Plus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a wonderful opportunity to transfer reserves and forces to other areas.
The command absolutely accurately calculated and is confident that “saving the lives of our military personnel” is quite acceptable: if not during the occupation, then during the liberation)?
2. To plan the liberation of the right-bank Kherson region (and this is inevitable, since this is the territory of the Russian Federation) without taking into account our losses when forcing the Dnieper (minefields, bunkers, ditches, etc., etc., which the Armed Forces of Ukraine will erect)? Where will you take people for such an operation? At the general spring mobilization?
In my film about 1812 there is a whole chapter about "difficult decisions."
The main thing to remember is that they were really difficult. This nonsense has now formed in hindsight that Napoleon was lured to Moscow and merrily surrendered. In fact, the army could well have collapsed at the moment of surrender - mass desertion, the despair of officers.
So it’s not worth imagining yourself as Kutuzovs. Moreover, the level of trust in the current system is many times lower than in the then one. A credit history of solid surrenders, goodwill gestures, regroupings and scraps won't be long.
The main motif discussed in the blogs is "we will retreat and a truce will be concluded with us." No. If we are so weak and want a truce so much that we are ready to surrender cities of the level of Kherson, then we, as a nation, are not capable of combat, and for enemies this is a reason to continue to finish us off. Such a gesture will not become a path to peace (even obscene), it will become a signal to finish off.
Fighterbomber (former military pilot):
How would you write a post that everything is fine and according to plan. But no matter how it was, but today the first city of our country in the last almost 80 years was given to the enemy.
It is necessary, it is not necessary, the need is there, or something, but you can’t argue against the facts. We give half of the city to the Khokhol or 1/654 of it, it doesn't matter. Kherson given. Was passed. Left. I hope we release him. I hope to pay for it with little blood.
But I don’t understand what kind of operation this is, during which the city of Russia is given to the enemy? Was it ever like this? Where? Is this the last city to be left? Is it according to plan or not? Maybe it's time to call a spade a spade with appropriate solutions. Maybe it's time for war?
Roman Saponkov (military commissar who worked in the Kherson direction):
"The guys left after a political decision. Therefore, I ask you not to blame the army for withdrawing from the right bank. God forbid that we do not roll back from the borders of Crimea.
I will not say anything about the top leadership of the country and the army. I hope they realize the gravity of the consequences. I have no doubt that they will come."
Andrey Medvedev (Russian journalist, vice speaker of the Moscow City Duma):
Since yesterday evening, I have been asked dozens of times:
“What kind of leak is this? What kind of negotiations are going on and what did we use Kherson for? At what level have traitors settled down with us? Well, and so on.
This suggests that people do not believe politicians, military, official statements - and, frankly, there are reasons for this. If we are at war, then we are at war, and not twist all sorts of Istanbuls.
I have already written that for all of us, for people, it is not deprivation that is terrible. And if it turns out that everything is in vain. This is the main horror. But now is not the case.
...
To win, we first need to leave pride, and stop thinking that everything is fine with us. We must learn to recognize the realities, and discard unnecessary illusions. We must prepare ourselves for a long, hard plowing. The state must also change. To win it is necessary to change the economy, to destroy the bureaucracy. And yes, name the guilty and punish.
Yesterday we left the Russian city. It hurts. The more painful the lesson, the faster the learning. Has everyone realized that everything is serious with us and now there is nowhere to retreat?
Victory doesn't come easy. But there is no way to win.
[Chernovec] If anything, in the title of the irony, Joseph Vissarionovich never gave up Moscow. And he did not withdraw troops to the left bank of the Volga in order to beg "peace talks" from the Nazis.
Stalin did not exchange for "gestures of good will." Not like today's spineless and spineless old boys who have already gesticulated.
Drainage in Kherson turned out to be even faster than I thought. I expected (and this was a pessimistic forecast, which seemed categorically impossible to many) that this would happen on November 11-14. Moreover, I naively believed that this would happen at least under the guise of an attack, an offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
No. Even the "attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine" was not needed.
But no. Stupidly and uncontested handed over themselves. November 9, ahead of schedule.
We went to a low bank, which is easy to shell from the Ukrainian coast and can flood.
But now we have the Kherson hero, on whose decision it depended to leave the city. And this is not Shoigu and Surovikin, who in this case were only following orders.
The new Kherson hero lost ALL his authority in just one day. And you can't put it back in.

[ColonelCassad] What to do if you leave the equipment
For those military personnel who do not know what to do with military equipment that cannot be evacuated (no fuel, technical malfunctions, etc.) if it is necessary to withdraw, but must be destroyed so that it does not go to the enemy.
Required:
1. A bottle of gasoline.
2. Rags.
3. Lighter or matches.
Lesson from the Houthis. Watch from the 4th minute.
In this way, you can destroy both captured vehicles (which are not needed), and your own, in case you have to retreat. Since 2015, hundreds of wheeled and tracked vehicles, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, MCIs, armored vehicles, carts, and engineering and construction equipment, have been destroyed in Yemen using the method shown in the video.
As a rule, they set fire to the interior + tires. After that, the equipment is usually not recoverable.
Note that they start babbling about the Jews, Israel, and Americans around 1:42, because reality is unimportant.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] 1. Kherson.
On the right bank, the withdrawal of troops from their current positions continues. Part of the forces has already been withdrawn to the left bank.
The enemy occupied more than 10 settlements by evening, including Snigirevka. In the area of Aleksandrovka, a demining group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed.
The departure of civilians from Kherson continues, but the city itself is not yet controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as Beryslav. Establishing full control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is likely to take several days.
The RF Armed Forces are equipping additional positions on the left bank. Antonovsky bridge, most likely, will be undermined in the next 1-2 days.
2. Donetsk direction.
In Avdiivka, Vodyany, Pervomaisky - no significant changes.
The battles for the fortified areas in Opytny continue.
The enemy continues shelling the Donetsk-Gorlovka agglomeration.
3. Ugledar direction.
Our troops took Pavlovka. There is a cleanup going on. The enemy is trying to counterattack and regain control over Pavlovka.
Fighting continues near Novomikhailovka.
Whether there will be a further attack on Ugledar itself is still unclear.
4. Artemovsk.
Fights continue for Experienced and in the direction of Kurdyumovka. There are small shifts in our favor.
There are also battles on the outskirts of Artemovsk itself.
You can not wait until the capture of the Experienced assault on the city.
5. Soledar.
After the capture of Bakhmutsky, our troops increase pressure on the enemy in Soledar itself.
To the north of the city, the battles for Belogorovka continue, according to various estimates, our troops control 40-50% of the village. The enemy stubbornly resists.
6. Svatovo.
In general, the situation has not undergone significant changes. All enemy attacks were repulsed with losses for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine could not break through to the Svatovo-Kremennaya highway. However, there are signs of preparations for new attacks in the direction of the track, so intense fighting will clearly continue here.
Soaking up bullets with bodies surplus to needs in Syria.
[NPASyria] Russia sent more than 500 Syrian bandidosholy warriors to eastern Ukraine, tasking them with safeguarding facilities in Luhansk and Donetsk, according to Middle East Eye (MEE).
The MEE reported that the Syrian bandidosholy warriors were drawn mainly from Syrian government forces, including the 25th Special Mission Forces Division, known in Syria as the Tiger Force, Russian-backed Fifth Corps and Liwa al-Quds, who were trained by Russia to fight against Syrian opposition forces and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Organization (ISIS).
The MEE said, citing a Syrian government official, that Russia had recruited the fighters, including former opposition holy warriors, through its special forces, and transferred them to Ukraine.
About 1.000 Syrian bandidosholy warriors were flown to Russia for training, but only half of them had gone to Ukraine, according to the official.
The Syrian holy warriors’ main task was providing security and protection for areas in Luhansk and Donetsk, however they could be called to front lines when it is necessary, he added.
At least, 50 Syrian bandidosholy warriors were killed in the Ukrainian bombardment so far, according to the source.
In April, hundreds of Russian-trained Syrian bandidosholy warriors who have reportedly signed up to fight alongside Russian troops in Ukraine include Syrian soldiers, former opposition fighters and veteran fighters who fought for years against the ISIS in Syria.
At the time, about 40.000 people have registered their names to join the Russian army, according to sources.
In March, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said during a UN Security Council meeting that Moscow had received more than 16.000 applications from people in Middle Eastern countries to help fight in Ukraine.
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... observers said that it was an attempt by Russia to scare Ukraine and other European countries in the conflict’s early days.
