Russia's Invasion of Ukraine, aka "Putin's Special Operation"

With each passing day, the intensity and frequency of Ukrainian drone attacks against Russian oil refineries increases. Since the beginning of this year (2024) alone, more than ten major oil refineries and depots have been damaged, some of them enduring multiple strikes.

The main goal of these attacks is to reduce the capability of the military, as fuel from Russian oil refineries is transported to Ukraine where it powers hostile tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and aircraft.
.....
The good news is that most Russian refineries were built using Western equipment. This equipment was purchased before sanctions were imposed, which makes it much more difficult and time-consuming to repair the attacked facilities.

Russians start mobilizing Central Asians after terrorist attack in Moscow region

Russia has initiated a new wave of mobilization of ethnic minorities for an aggressive war against Ukraine following the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall in the Moscow region, according to the Center for National Resistance.
"Using the mass gathering of people in Moscow, Russians, on the one hand, accuse Ukraine, and on the other, have started raids targeting migrants from Central Asia. Migrant workers are offered contracts with the Russian Armed Forces or face deportation," the statement said.

@Tsar do not go to Ukraine now. Asians are particularly aggressive and vicious. We saw how the Japanese behaved in WWII. They are brutal. They are vicious. They are animals. I would not venture going to Ukraine right now.

Russia's objective is to totally debilitate and kill Ukraine's electrical grid. By Winter there will be no running water, no power and no heat. Many will freeze or starve to death in their homes. Russia's objective is to totally kill the Ukrainian population, then repopulate it with Russians after they capture territory.

I hope that's not true. For the sake of all the innocent Ukrainian citizens who will die over this war. Aren't you in Ukraine still? Hopefully you can get out of there soon, it sounds too risky to stay in the area.

No I'm not there. I wouldn't go there except to maybe the Carpathian mountains where there's no bombing and I could live in peace.

True, wherever Russians are showing up in the past, it is all about killing, destruction, looting whatever they can find and raping every female between 7 and 80. After that bringing in Russian population to settle down in those occupied regions.

If you read about Russian peace projects in the past in Europe and Asia, it's not a Russian-Ukrainian peace treaty they propose, but an order for Ukrainian capitulation, it's about an 'Ukrainian' government controlled by Russia, cut away 20 % of their land and integrate it into Russia, about a reduction of the Ukrainian military down to 30 % of what it is now (despite already being reduced to become 'independent and neutral in the past, which means no NATO membership and even no EU membership allowed), its even about reparations what Ukraine should pay over many years for 'damages' to Russia for invading Ukraine... totally ridiculous - and of cause if not accepted and if Ukrainians are still able to fight back, it is about removing everything Ukrainian from the map and take over quickly defendless Moldova and do the same there again.

Hopefully Western countries (especially European NATO related countries) will bring more activity into producing war related stuff and continue to support Ukraine.

So far the list of countries which are supporting Ukraine in whatever form is fairly long,

Bad news for those rooting for Ukraine. Russia just won a major victory over Ukraine. See below.

"The war between Russia and Ukraine is far from over, but little by little, Russia has begun to wear away at its underdog opponent. Check out how Russia just won its first major victory in months and what this means for Ukraine moving forward."

The video you posted Winston is shit. Russia was allowed to take a small town like Avdiivka because it was not strategically important and not worth the loss of Ukrainian life to defend it.

Russia can't occupy a big city like Kharkiv so they bomb from the air to try to make the city unlivable. What Ukraine needs is more air defense systems such as Patriot to defend cities like Kharkiv and Dnipr.

Here is a good video by Jake Broe:

Look who's fault it is, Scumbag America. And then you have some Jewish dipshit that was talking
about Ukraine joining Nato which will kick off WWIII if that happens. Yet MSN is trying to make Russia look bad "targeting ethic minorities." They love to jump on that let's stir up white people are evil shit. Nevermind what's still happening right now in Haiti.

I can only agree with @Voyager1

Avdiivka was a small industrial city of about 30.000 people, it is now totally destroyed and it is said less than 1000 people, mostly very old people are still living there under terrible conditions.

If the Russian Army's '3 days special military operation' needs many months of horrible fightings resulting in big losses of soldiers and materials and calls it the first major victory in months for taking over one small Ukrainian city, it's really nothing to be proud of it.

Russia at this moment has some advantages, as USA is within USA itself a political chaos, NATO/EU is acting slowly, USA has other external issues like Israel, and in Far East is this never ending China, NorthKorea, Russia threat is going on....

It really takes a while to bring the Western military defense to catch up - and Ukraine is not a member state of EU, NATO etc, - but it is a fairly large land with over 30 million people. It cannot disappear so easily and become against the will of the Ukrainian government and citizens a part of Russia.

Fighting therefore will continue, and nobody can deny that Ukraine so far during more than 2 years invasion is defending itself fairly good.
80 percent of the Ukraine is still not occupied by Russia,



and Russia suffered serious losses of soldiers and materials of any kind, entire Russian warships were successfully destroyed, ten of thousands tanks, trucks and other vehicles were put on fire, Russian airplanes were shot down, large fuel depots exploded by drones....

Western countries will not give up Ukraine, despite Ukraine is not a member in their commercial and military union.
Support will continue, and borders to the West are still all open and under Ukrainian control.

There are indeed some ammunition supply issues, as Ukraine is still using due to its Soviet past a lot of weapons related to Russian production, and Western/EU produced ammunition does not fit. However now working out it and Western/and also Ukrainian factories will catch up this year.
