There are no russians in Kyiv region. All russians north west of Kyiv left for Belarus. North of Ukraine- russians are slowely retreating. From what I understand northeast also slowely retreating. Massive russian force entered Ukraine near Sumi, to cover their exit. They are paranoid about locals ambushing them. Shooting at everything that moves.

Thank you kongols for all of your posts .. .please keep them coming. We appreciate you sir! 99.9% support the Ukraine, and the awe inspiring resolution of those people.

To the remaining 0.1%, go fuck your selves you Putin apologist war criminal bastards.

The world is frightfully close to WW3. It is time for the USA to stand up and fully support Ukraine with 100% of our military assets. Peace thru strength. Let Putin; and China, know that what is happening in Ukraine must stop.

For a number of reasons.

First off, some context: here's a video that was circulated for a few days before the mine kicking video:


Then, apparently, they go to kick the mines off the road. That's the story, at least.

So we have to believe that this Russian force so stricken by logistic and supply issues that they need to retreat back to Belarus is going to send some sapper to this stretch of highway to waste too many AT mines (that had to be transported into theater) right next to each other in a pattern that is immediately identifiable and unmistakable, and can easily be shuffled into the shoulder. Nobody is going to mistakenly drive through that because they are so painfully obvious. Even if they did, one detonation would set a chain reaction that would trigger every one of those mines and effectively waste them on one vehicle (one of those mines would be enough to destroy the road and any vehicle traveling on it). Even if they were to lay mines that densely, dropping them visibly on top of the tarmac with no burial or coverage and easily slid out of the way is a mistake even the cheesiest taliban fighters knew to avoid.

So, as I said, those mines make no fucking sense whatsoever. That video is so full of shit it's seeping out of my USB ports. But pointing that out makes me some Russian asset, I guess.

Maybe you need to think more creative. If you are Russian tank or transport are driving straight over or stopping to move first? Easy target with RPG in the bushes!
Like a cement block wall but easier to move when you need to maybe.


BTW take your computer with you when you see the Dr for your same problem

It's amazing Americans and Ezza still supporting Russian troops who are just massacring innocent civilians, looting, robbing, raping as they run with tail between legs. Just incredible. Talk about programming.

I don't think it's possible to apply reason or logic to everything the Russian military does.

First of all I don`t think those are russian mines. And second- here you go, in Donbas.

15 years of russian bot farms operating in USA, spreading conspiracy theories really paid off. I did not think people would fall for that, but I was totally wrong. Many lessons learnt from this war.

This is pretty accurate. Ukrainians have the same problems russians had in the south near Kherson. Many rivers, hard to advance, easy for russians to defend.

I can see this war changing after today. The west will be forced to get of their ass, or they`ll be thrown out next election. In my eyes Stoltenberg is done.

Edit. I don`t mean send in troops or close the sky. Ukrainians can do it themselves, they just need help. Something better than defensive weapons like Stingers or Javelins.

Russian forces have been retreating, they put mines out to stall Ukrainian forces for sneaking up and ambushing them from behind while retreating.

Countries that used to be under USSR influence and are now in NATO are full of russian armor that ukrainians are familiar with. At least 6000 T-72 tanks, MIG planes, artilery. None of it has been given or sold to Ukraine so far. I see this changing after yesterday.

So far the biggest donor of armor for Ukraine has been Russia. Ukraine now has more tanks and APC`s than it did before war.
Here is all Russian and Ukrainian loses confirmed with photo or video evidence. Some guys just have that much time on their hands.
Sorry, not all loses. They have huge backlog. Real number could be close to 3000.

Ukraine needs tanks, plains and artilery to have any chance of try and reach Mariopol. Landscape there is endless fields, no trees or hills. That`s why russians were so succesful down south. They have all that and airfields close by.
North of the country is hills and woods. That`s why Russians got out of there. With spring coming and everything blooming it would be massacre of russians there.

Woods and hills are their strongest art of war, that’s what they practice, urban warfare is the one they should avoid the most.

They are pulling troops out and concentrating on the east donbass because they have most success there, and because they aren’t able to take kyiv or any other areas. Therefore they are going to push from east so they have something to sell to their own people instead of just saying they werent able to get anything done there.

OK. Good to see it concerns you that way as it should any decent human. Can only see you thumbs up pro Russia comments with the other guys on Pro Russia side so it has to be assumed you're pro Russia? Sorry if you not

That is good to know. I would agree that loaning that equipment would be very helpful. Thanks for the information (and all the other information).
