It wasn't a prostate exam, it was a procedure to remove Putin's wristwatch. But Averyanov is supposed to be dead now anyway.

Not many taking about the Russian advance in the Torets’ke direction (Sofiivka is marked on the second map towards the southwest). I believe that is a mistake. This will be recognized as one of the most significant tactical movements of the entire war when it is all said and done.

How fast will Ukraine chop off egress for the advanced squads, or will they wait for Russia to reinforce then chop off like they have REPEATEDLY in the past

Typical post for you. Show ISW maps and then insert your commentary which is nearly identical to Russian sites about the relentless Russian advance.

Here's one from November:

Russia now to consolidate around Pokrovsk and push north and west to flank the Slaviansk Kramatorsk agglomeration? Perhaps we are reaching the final act of the Donbas war.


You were happy to post the Pokrovsk map showing complete Russian control. When I posted the updated map showing that Russia had lost most of Pokrovsk (which you hadn't bothered to show for some reason) you lost your shite.

From today:

I think this will hold up just as well as your November nonsense.

As another poster has said, the maps are fairly meaningless at this point. Gains and losses are a tiny percentage of the territory and the movement is literally slower than a snail. This war will 100% come down to whether European nations have a spine. Russia can easily be defeated if there is a will.

The Germans didn't defeat France by taking large chunks of territory, it won because of STRATEGIC areas it took, namely cutting off the French and English forces then strangling them.

The cities presently threatened are not as strategic as they were in 2022 when Russia tried several pincer movements to cut of the bulk of Ukrainian forces in the east. Now Russia is NOT mobile in the least,

The Coalition Forces beat Iraq in 100 days with ENCIRCLEMENT and cutting Iraqis from any retreat or resuplly/reinforcement.

If Russia took Kyiv tonight in some wild airborne op some of y'all would be like "but it's just 1% of the territory!".

Both things are true: the Russian advance is at a snail's pace. Russia has also started to take more tactically and strategically significant areas in the past year or so.

These cities were strategic when Russia would have cut off the bulk of the Ukrainian military. They are no longer strategic like they were. No encirclements happened

The loss of Popasna in the late Spring of 2022 allowed Russians to travel along a somewhat east/west ridge which eventually led to Bakhmut, but more important it allow Russia to cut of the supply route to Lysychansk which was a several hundred feet higher than Syverodonetsk. Ukraine was able to rain down the magnet for Russians city with artillery from across the small river.

That was strategic.

Also, Russia bribing the officials who were supposed to blow up the two bridges from Crimea was also a strategic coup. Melitapol is still Ukraine if not for that, and Ukraine would not be spread nearly as thin.

On the night of February 7, unidentified drones attacked Russia’s Tver and Saratov regions. The strikes sparked a fire at a chemical plant, and an oil depot may also have been hit, according to Russian channels.
quote:

The Redkino Experimental Chemical Plant is one of Russia's major chemical industry facilities. It produces specialized chemical components, including for the aviation and defense industries (fuel additives, technical chemicals, and specialty reagents). Its products have been used in Russian military and dual-use programs.

Shortly afterward, Acting Governor Vitaly Korolyov confirmed the attack and fire at one of the industrial facilities, though he did not specify which plant was affected.

Additionally, videos later circulated online claiming that a drone strike hit an oil depot in the Saratov region.

Russian figures, Jan 2025 to Jan 2026, billion Rubles.

Oil and gas revenue down 50.2% . Production and import taxes up 24.9% . And that percent change in the deficit is +17.2. We can see why they left that number out and substituted the 252 difference.

Finally, check out that legally established -1.6% GDP deficit, which is over twice what they are currently running. That is what is called a realistic forecast...

Russia's economic death spiral continues, as the country's #1 property developer faces imminent collapse, after the Duma has denied the requested bailout.

The "Samolet" company currently has around 19% market share, 10,000 employees and is constructing approximately 4.7 million square meters of housing, owning over 41 million square meters.

The ripples throughout the economy will be massive. Construction, mortgages, materials..

Pick a city that Ukraine has decided was important enough to mount a counter attack for, which is about 3-4 in the last 3 months or so

"It's not strategic because it hasn't won the war already" is certainly a take
