News coming out that Ukraine is losing major ground in Severodonetsk. Much of the city may be under Russian control.
Maybe superior numbers for the invading Russian is finally tamping out the resistance. You said this would happen eventually. By the way, I hate Russians.
The reports I read from a few days ago said that Russia had bombed a critical bridge outside of Severodonetsk and that the Ukrainians were no longer able to get in to resupply or escape as the bridge was a major resupply route. I had also read some Russian reports that they had not taken the city and were taking a starve the population stance until they run out of weapons and food.

They’re trying to break through here, from Vrubivka, and to cut off the road in the area of Berestove. That’s one of the main goals — to disrupt the supply links between Bakhmut and Lysychansk. If you look at Siversk, you’ll see a little ‘pocket’ along the railway that they’re trying to close, from Siversk to Berestove. So, there’s a little ‘pocket’ forming, which Yampil, Siversk, Popasna, Vrubivka… And they’re closing it, and Lysychansk and Severodonetsk remain surrounded. That’s their main goal right now — to create a ‘new Mariupol.’

Seems Russia has finally taken the jid gloves off and, now that they are advancing further west, into less Russian-friendly populations, they dotn give a shite about preserving anymore and are about to blow the Ukrainian doors down.
After all, Russia got what they really wanted. They took the nuclear plant, much of the Ukraine oil fields and lots of rich farmland without really destroying much of it.... Now it's real. Now they will begin to advance like the fricking Wermacht across the Maginot Line into Paris.

There was a video about the author of American mercenaries.
I will not upload videos with dead Americans for ethical reasons.

Now there are victims of this war in the USA as well.
The fate of 3 or 4 high-ranking military from NATO countries taken prisoner near Mariupol is not yet known to me. They are apparently being interrogated, and when they find out the maximum possible, they will be shown in the media.
In addition to them, they write about 10 instructors were captured.

Russian TV host says that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement demonstrate 'hallmarks of a fascist state'

Wed, May 25, 2022, 3:52 AM·3 min read
Vladimir Solovyov responded to a New York Times op-ed titled: "We should say it. Russia is Fascist."
Solovyov said Trump's campaigns and supporters demonstrated "hallmarks of a fascist state." Solovyov also called Trump a "cult of one leader" reigning over the MAGA world.
In rebutting The Times' piece, Solovyov cited Trump and the MAGA movement, claiming that they were emblems of fascism. In particular, he pointed to Trump's campaign for president and his behavior and rhetoric during his race.
"They regularly claim that Russia is a fascist country. Listen, you bastards," Solovyov said.
"You're offering hallmarks of a fascist state," Solovyov said. "Secondly, looking at your listed indications (of fascism). How are they any different from the election campaigns of Donald Trump? Down to his slogan, 'Make America Great Again.'"
Solovyov then referenced how the MAGA slogan was based around "discussions of former greatness." Solovyov then argued that MAGA was not unlike what Snyder referenced in his op-ed: fascist myths of a golden age and imperial greatness.
"Donald Trump, Make America Great Again — the cult of one leader," Solovyov said.
"Visual symbols as a sign of belonging? What about Donald Trump's red hats?" he added, citing symbols of what he argued were emblems of American fascism. "Mass events in support of the leader — do you want me to play a clip of the dancing Trump?"
He also accused Trump of perpetuating "hate speech."
"Look at what Trump used to say about liberals," Solovyov said.

In Dnipropetrovsk region, enemy Iskander missile hits National Guard training ground
In Dnipropetrovsk region, an enemy Iskander missile hit the training ground of the National Guard of Ukraine, killing about ten people, injuring 30-35 people, and two more 'arrivals' missed the target, head of the Dnipro Territorial Defense Center Hennadiy Korban said.
"The launches were from Rostov region... This is the Iskander-K, the cruise Iskander, the cruise missile. There were three 'arrivals.' Two 'arrivals' were inaccurate, not on target, one 'arrival' was in the barracks, where there were some people," Korban said.

The Russians may be starting to wear Ukraine down, but all this BS about Russia not really trying and that they don’t want to break anything is just BS.

So you admit I am right. Thxs, Russia got their arse kicked initially. Admit it.
Is Ukraine showing signs of wear and tear, and is Russia looking like they are finally asserting their larger forces? That could be what we are seeing.
That’s reality, not any BS.
But it will eventually play out. Count on that.

The observation that Trump wanted (and still wants) to be a “cult of one leader” is not wholly inaccurate. But it is a strange statement coming from a Russia that has been dominated, actually dominated, by a cult of one leader for more than twenty years. Trump’s worst impulses were constrained by the American system, not to mention that as an American president, his term was always limited. Contrast that with Russia’s apparent leader for life.

I already said my initial thoughts, but I will say it again. I do think Russia underestimated the Ukrainian army & government and didn’t expect Western Europe to throw a huge hissy fit. Now, I do not think the Russians had any intention of conquering Kiev and Kharkiv due to the forces deployed there. I think this whole thing was to annex eastern and southern Ukraine.

Been gone for work so really didn’t keep up with the thread
Russia basically using the death by a thousand cuts tactics now
No matter how many troops get killed
Logistically they are still a mess and will get worse the farther west they try and go
It’s basically turns into Russia takes new ground and Ukraine takes back ground Russia was holding
The video of the Ukrainian troops putting the border post back was pretty boss

Yes and no. They have been shelling the crap out of the front lines in the east for easily a month.
The recon units did cut of the road but it was taken back when Ukraine shelled the heck out of the checkpoint Russia set up.
In the meantime, topography means a lot and Ukraine has been holding up Russian advances with a meat grinder as it slowly retreats to high ground and positions already fortified.
The only real Russian success was taking the high ground and ridge at Popansa.
The big question is how many Ukrainian reserves have been training and to what degree as well as when will they enter the fray with what arms. Meanwhile Russia is shipping T-62 tanks which have been used for training of reserves, which is not a lot of training

Well, Russia did waste lots of blood and treasure along with lots of armament which tells me that they were trying to take Kyiv. Russia was in fact using a lot of resources against the fortified defensive positions in the east, with not so great tactics until they just started shelling the crap of positions.
