Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[Uncle Sparky]

...or if Putin and his ilk were... dead Russians.

The world would be a much better place if Putin and his ilk were equally concerned about dead Russians

That was funny, it is true 👍

Doesn't stop the fact that this whole futile war on Ukraine's front will still result in the same outcome 😢

Fighting to the last dead Ukrainian 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

It's a good choice to have, unlike you who would prefer they roll over and die to the last dead Ukrainian

Russian military bloggers have said Moscow’s forces have been forced to withdraw from positions near Lyman as Ukrainian troops counterattack, while accusing Russia’s military command of concealing the true situation on the battlefield. The precise scale of Ukraine’s counteroffensive remains unclear.


Russian military bloggers have acknowledged that Ukrainian forces have gone on the counterattack around Lyman in eastern Ukraine, with some claiming that Russian troops have been forced to withdraw from forward positions as the situation for Moscow deteriorates.

One Russian military blogger said Ukrainian forces had been counterattacking in the area for months, while accusing Russia’s military command of presenting an overly optimistic picture of the frontline.

In there's also a nice bit describing how "Russia winning" works these days:

On 1 September, Putin claimed that Russian forces controlled Sviatohirsk, a town about 15 kilometres north-west of Lyman in the Donetsk region.

Russia’s Defence Ministry subsequently claimed the town had been captured, but provided no credible evidence.

Six days later, Brigadier General Andrii Biletskyi, commander of Ukraine’s Third Army Corps, published a video of himself in central Sviatohirsk, demonstrating that the town remained under Ukrainian control.

snipsnap from there:

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, who was standing beside Dobrindt at a press conference in Berlin, said he would order the closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn, and the contract for the Russian House in Berlin will also be terminated - which many observers have said has been used for espionage and to spread Russian propaganda.

He also announced tighter entry controls for Russian nationals and vowed to increase pressure on Moscow's shadow fleet - old tankers used by Russia to circumvent Western sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

(...)

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for Russia's foreign ministry, said Moscow would respond in a "mirror-image" fashion to Germany's measures.

I'm quite concerned that Moscow might hit back against our shadow fleet
