Russia is making gains everywhere on the frontlines in Southeast Ukraine. It appears they’ll be encircling Sloviansk within the coming weeks barring a turn of events.

It's a blitzkrieg!

What is the matter with Puttin's right hand?
That's a pretty detailed image and can stand a lot of zooming in. A lot of his hand is a strange (for a slav) shade of brown, alternating with pink.
Unless that's the ugliest knit glove this side of the gulag.

Wasn't Putin's speech today? Did he commit a million troops and declare ultra super nuclear chemical war like people were postulating?

What are the odds he's attempting to mobilize without saying it publically to buy him as much time as possible since he knows it will be months before he can get fresh trained troops in there?

I think it will be hard for them to mobilize 100s of thousands of troops on the low down. It will get out pretty quickly.

When Ukraine pushes Russia back to the border north of Kharkiv, the city of Belgorod will be within artillery range of the artillery we have given Ukraine. It will also be within range of the switchblade drones.
Belgorod is the primary logistics hub for the Russian invasion. It is where all of the units they pulled out of the north went to refit and rehab.
If Ukraine can disrupt Russia's supply lines coming out of Belgorod....

Mercenary base leveled
The Russian Ministry of Defense, according to its claims, demolished a mercenary base in Odessa. According to the Russians, the mercenaries had set up base at the Grande Pettine Hotel. Dozens of mercenaries died instantly as a result of the bombings.
The Ukrainians are suffering heavy losses in the Severodonetsk, Lisichansk, Krasny Liman, Popasnaya and Ugledar regions.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, "high-precision missiles" were used and Ukrainian aircraft were destroyed at the airports in the regions of Artsiz, Odessa and Voznesensk, while Iskander missiles hit American and European weapons near Kharkov. Rockets also fell on Nikolaev.
The Bogodukhov railway station, located near the town of Soledar in the Donetsk region, was hit.
The station received 50 units of foreign military equipment sent by NATO countries as part of "military aid" to Ukraine.
CNN version.
This weekend, the "Grand Pettine" was hit by at least one Russian cruise missile, sustaining severe damage.
Given the fond memories of influential Russians for the warmth and luxury offered by the Black Sea resort, it seems unlikely it was deliberately targeted.
CNN contacted the hotel Monday and was told that it could not provide a response until the curfew was over Tuesday.
"The buildings of the hotel and restaurant complex, as well as the utility infrastructure, were destroyed and damaged. There are no victims or injured," the prosecutor's office in Odesa said Monday.

Ukraine is getting pummeled in the Donbas region which is where the bulk of their military is stationed.

It looks like Putin’s reasons to invade were akin to “weapons of mass destruction”. This was a resource grab lol.

This plays into your theory. I saw this on former CIA guy Larry Johnson's site.

I see in the future Belarus getting involved, then NATO and then we start shipping our boys over there. Matter of time. Belarus is now all pissed off at NATO about being too aggressive on their border.

I wrote this back on 2/28 and I am just as confident it is true today. Putin at his heart is a kleptocrat covered with a thin veneer of Russian/Soviet history and honor.
quote:
You are listening to Putin and taking his words as proof of his motives.
This isn't about the Russian heritage of some of the regions of Ukraine, at least VERY little.
This isn't really even about NATO on his doorstep or narrowing the army accessible land avenue into the European Plain farther back toward the Fulda gap.
It is about oil/gas and water. It is about making Russia a larger petrostate. They want the rest of the offshore gas fields they didn't get when they took Crimea. They want the shale oil reserves in Eastern and Western Ukraine. They want the pipelines that run from Russia across central Ukraine and to avoid paying tariffs, even though they have built multiple pipelines to avoid them already like the multiple Nord Stream pipelines that go around the north and south of Ukraine. It is about opening the water back up from the Dnipro river to Crimea through the North Crimean Canal. Not so much because he gives a frick about the Crimean people but because Sevastopol is there and it is the only military port Russia has that is ice-free year-round.
Putin suckered a lot of people in with his rambling Russian history lesson and appeal to reunite ethnic Russians with their motherland. He got even more talking about the what-if of how we would feel with missiles in Cuba, Mexico, or Canada. Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had! Ya been took! Ya been hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Led astray! Run amok!
The real reason Russia invaded a sovereign country was money. Liquid and gaseous dinosaur bones (algae but it isn't as poetic) and that other liquid gold called water. He is just a thug thief in an ill-fitting (track) suit he just hides his gold chains on his wrists as watches. He isn't fricking Moses shepherding his people he is just an armed robber intent on stealing Ukraine and their riches. Applaud him for that if you are going to applaud.
