It wasn’t an invasion. It was a special operation.
Lil 3-day affair
And it’s been hilarious to see - they draw in response forces, those shitwads get blasted, rinse and repeat for days…
yeah keep it up putty, this is going special. shit they captured 300 russian mil the first day.
Ukrainification of territory. We heard maybe Ukrainians were living there. So we here.
Also,getting rid of some Nazi’s, just helping out
There are many unpersecuted Nazi groups in Russia, some such as the Wagner Group even works closely with the government.
Sounds like Ukraine has a lot of work left to do!
This is the best shit ever
Fortify the gas pipeline in Sudzha, turn it off, and make the Russians send meat wave after meat wave to get it back. No artillery, no glide bombs. They can’t risk it.
Mine the shit out of it and blow it to kingdom come if you have to retreat.
Have fun Orban.
And hit 3 Gorges at the same time. Peak NCD.
Ukrainians are already on the ground there and that pumping station was burning yesterday from shelling
This what they’re really freaking out about it - that pipeline is critical.
Watch Ruzzia accidentally blow it up themselves.
due to jammed comms they already bombed their own retreating troops
just putting combat engineers with a forklift to move explosives there would be enough. it’s right on the border, current contract for gas transit expires in december this year and neither side wants to extend it. might shorten it a bit just as well
In sorry, 300 troops and 11 tanks? What is this, an invasion for ants?
It does a few things. First of all Russia seems to lack military assets in the region, so Ukraine can advance rather easily. Russia has to take back that land, otherwise Putin looses a lot of his reputation and it is obviously something to be traded in in peace negotitations. So Russia has to move troops and material from where they have them, which is in the south. Ukraine has been blowing up train engines, so that is not easy and Russia has been loosing tanks, ifv and all sorts of other vehicles for years. They also need more fighting power to push the Ukranians out, which is most likely going to happen. In the meantime Ukraine gets to shoot at unorganized units setting up, take hostages and really make the Russians think about the war being worth it.
If Ukraine pushes far enough, there is a very defensible line further north, which is shorter and mostly protected by rivers. However that is really pushing it. However if I would be Ukraine, now would be a great time to blow up the Kerch bridge. F-16 just arrived and with that probably some intressting new missiles.
It does more than that, it shows that every bit of border Russia shares with Ukraine, which is “defended” by the same sort of conscripts that are now breaking, surrendering and running for the hills, is basically defenseless.
They can either accept their somewhat less inferior contract soldiers need to play border guard, and thus pull them off the frontline, or they need to accept that they’re powerless to stop these sorts of incursions.
I agree this is quite a distraction for Russia to deal with. It would be a shame if other areas across the front took advantage of it
Nah, that’s just a small unit executing raids to sow chaos behind enemy lines, disrupting supply lines, keeping the Russians off balance and busy so that they can’t fight as effectively on the front lines.

small correction: Ukrainias have taken 300 POWs by yesterday evening
I mean, the fact that Russian conscript borderguards are hyper incompetent and have the morale of a wet paper bag doesn’t mean that it’s a very small “invasion force”.
some russian telegram channels were talking about some 2000 ukrainian troops initially, but they could be just as well making shit up/be wrong and some extra forces could be put there as well by now
Here it says that Russia says 20 vehicles and those morning I also read that Russia said that it had destroyed 50 of them already, which is really impressive. No other military in the world could possibly destroy 50 out of 20 vehicles, so we have to respect the Russian military prowess for that.
The 30 extra were repurposed Russian vehicles that were abandoned and removed by Ukrainian farmers.
Ah yes, Ukrainian farmers the second best military in Ukraine after the Ukrainian army
The fucking balls/ovaries on these folks! Good god, I’m in awe.
Are we still doing thoughts and prayers?
Of course. I got the Catholic T&P covered, we’re gonna need a Jew, a Hindu, a Muslim…a Zororastrian… (flipping through list)…
Keep em guessing. Love it.
