Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Hassan Al-Somal]

Comparing Iraq with Ukraine is not a fair comparison . Iraqi force were surrendering left and right while Ukrainian actually put up resistance . On other hand Iraq for 10 years was under sanction while ukraine received help from left and right and for free . USA till today gave them 1/3rd of it's atgm and manpads stock pile .
It take to and USA approximately 3 to 5 year depend on who you believe to restock what they gave to Ukraine .


Well technically you are correct but do you remember syria or Kosovo ?why this was not applied to those two place

Actually, Iraqis put up a much better fight than the Ukrainians. I have yet to see Ukrainians putting up the kind of fight Iraqis put up in Diwaniah, Falujah, Ramadi, Samara, Haditha, Karbala, Baghdad, and Suleumaniah (Mosul). The Ukrainians have better weapons, the entire NATO and the West are backing them, and their terrain is much better for the kind of the war that they're waging than the flat lands in Iraq. Besides, Iraqis fight lasted for 2 decades. If Iraq had the kind of support that the Ukrainians have now, the occupation of Iraq wouldn't have happened.

Thats because the Russians failed to get into Kharkiv, Kiev, Sumy, Chernihiv, etc. Most of those cities are close to the Russian border. Only cities they went into was Mariupol and Kherson which by the way was surrendered by the mayor easily but you saw what happened in Mariupol and how tough it was. I guarantee you if they tried to get into those cities, there would be no army left of Russia.

The bulk of Ukraine's mineral wealth is in Luhansk, which is controlled by Russia and is considered a separatist, and in general the Donbass .. and the rest is in Lviv, where there are Polish ambitions..

What Polish ambitions?

The Russians are making the same mistakes they did in the Kyiv region. Overextended and their rear gets obliterated.

If they can clear the area around Kharkiv and push to the Russian border, where the main supply depots at Belgorod which would be in artillery range to hit the supplies as well as the supply columns on the road coming down to Izium.

Just like the Israeli Army justifies Gaza — same shit just different skin tone.

On Izyum pocket.

Twitters are saying Ukrainian side has already crossed the Oskil from the East, and Ukrainian troops are pouring into hills north of Izyum, cutting off Russian force in Izyum

Edit:
They reached Svatovoye near the dusk. A single Russian platoon in town fled/surrendered.

It's a very risky move if Russian airforce will start venturing past their defensive lines.

It's well past Ukrainian SAM picket.

My guess they want to reach Kupyansk, and hold there.

what happened to the Kherson counterattack you predicted? where did it go?

How do you judge a war?
By the number of beautiful buildings left standing?



Lesson in life.

Don't opt for war if an option for peace is available.

Why didn't Zalensky comply with the signed Minsk II agreement?

Comparing Iraq with Ukraine is not a fair comparison . Iraqi force were surrendering left and right while Ukrainian actually put up resistance .

Testimonies from Iraqi POWs had the Iraqi Army got worn down by Allies airpower. People can try to make excuses for the Iraqi Army all they want, but the bottom line is that the air campaign gave Allies ground forces the break they needed, namely, the constant air bombardment broke the Iraqi Army will to fight. As this Russia-Ukraine war continues, comparisons between Desert Storm and this war moves towards the invalid end. Nevertheless, it is already clear that the Russian Air Force failed its primary mission.

Ukrainian President Zelensky orders the promotion of five military ranks for Commander Oleksiy Zyashaba, to Vice Admiral of the Ukrainian Navy, for his success in leading the operation to destroy the Russian cruiser Moskva in the Black Sea.

Time running out. Russia army can’t begin the great offensive at Donbas. However Mariupol is not falling, military supply lines being constantly attacked by Ukraine army.

Well .... It seems like Russia has just exposed how incompetent their army is and how useless it's military doctrine is for for the modern battlefield.

They only face-saving Russia has left is to start carpet bombs and using large Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOA) aka "Mother of All Bombs".

Perhaps is Russia is capable of flattening cities like America did to Fallujah then they may have a way out now.

And this justify the destruction of Mariupol ? How exactly ?
