Officials say Ukraine has regained almost full control of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Ukraine says it has regained almost complete control of its eastern Dnipropetrovsk region and recaptured several hundred square kilometers of territory in recent counterattacks.
Pushing Russian forces back undermines Moscow’s attempts to establish buffer zones along parts of the border, and could disrupt Russian plans for fresh attacks in the spring and summer.
Details of the operation emerged Tuesday when Oleksandr Komarenko, head of the main operational directorate of the general staff of Ukraine’s armed forces, told local media that Ukrainian airborne assault troops and mechanized brigades had already liberated more than 400 square kilometers of territory.
It would be incredible if this ends with Ukraine holding a 10km “buffer zone” of Russian territory.
If we’re sharing our hopes, then I’d like to see the Russian empire crumble and all political power returned to indigenous people.
You’re missing like two zeros there
When the war ends and Zelenskyy steps down as president, he needs to be appointed as the Secretary-General of NATO, charged with modernizing forces based on battlefield experience.
Guy has earned some time off, I hope he gets to relax again someday.
“I need ammo, not a ride” - I hope history books repeat this phrase for the next ten thousand years. What fucking balls this guy has.
He’s said in interviews he wants to sit on a beach and drink beer after he steps down.
No way that’s possible. He’s a high profile military leader and will be a prominent target even after the war. He’ll need constant security and planning in his private life for at least years
How does that stop him from drinking beer at a beach?
Those two things are not mutually exclusive…
Unfortunately, as much as it sucks to say, there’s no way he won’t be haunted by the war for the rest of his life. I hope he will be able to relax one day, but…
He’ll have some new standup material, at least.
I’d love to see him do more standup one day. I say this as a citizen of a nation whose president went from writing theatre pieces to being persecuted and imprisoned to being a president and back to writing theatre pieces.
He definitely should NOT be prime minister of Ukraine. Great ear time leaders aren’t the best peace time leaders.
Having said that, if he’d wanted Rutte’s job, he has my vote for sure!
Fuck ya! Give ‘em hell!
And Russia’s primary drone supplier has been somewhat disrupted…
Now Russia build Iranian drones by itself in local factories. But Iranian wars gave billions of dollars to Russia thanks to easing of sanctions and higher oil prices. For Russia the Iran war is good, not bad. The margins on oil production has skyrocketed.
Republicans never miss a chance to screw their allies. Market going to shit? Lift Russian sanctions to save yourself while selling the Ukranians out at a critical moment.
It’s not even an Agent Krasnov thing - it’s just basic greed and selfishness.
