Russia Suffers 'Highest Monthly' Losses Since War Began

Forbs are reporting Russia may have lost an entire Airborn Brigade in Vovchansk.

Forbes reports that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) appear to have repelled Russia's elite 83rd Airborne Brigade in Vovchansk, Kharkiv Region, marking a significant setback for Russian forces during their Victory Day offensive.

According to Forbes, the offensive, initially aimed at securing a broad swath of territory and advancing heavy artillery towards Kharkiv, failed to achieve its objectives. Instead, approximately 30,000 Russian soldiers are now reportedly stranded in Vovchansk, just a few kilometers south of the border.

The 83rd Airborne Brigade, described as a formidable unit, withdrew from Vovchansk after sustaining substantial losses and facing challenges in maintaining combat readiness due to casualties and desertions over a three-week deployment.

guess they'll have to close another prison to replace them, hell maybe two.

You have to understand communist countries don't see combat losses as a negative. They're all about population control, and reducing that carbon footprint remember.

Communist countries are proud of the mass deaths, removing overpopulation is a benefit.


Those who are living in free society, are lucky.

People in first world, have no problems so they make them up. Pathetic rich kids larping around with parents money...

They lost supply lines and just kept dumping bodies into the fight. Soldiers were saying they had no food/water for many days and ammo was most out. That is why so many were surrendering, they had nothing left to fight with and were starving.

Sounds just like Ukraine, unless they get their US money right

Do you have a source for that?

Why do people wait until things get undeniably, irreversibly bad before they choose to do the right thing?

It's sad, that the call for Americans to stand up, grow a spine and face off with tyranny is now called "Keyboard Warriorism".

What used to be seen as a moral obligation and duty is now considered extremism. This is an indicator of how far we've fallen.

Our forebearers were willing to sacrifice their lives for liberty. They learned the valuable lesson that a life without freedom isn't a life worth living.

This is a lesson that seems to be lost on Americans of today when people are willing to trade freedom for comfort and luxury.

Americans sold out. America has been sold out. To believe we'll just continue living our best life under these circumstances is severely delusional.

Corruption is corrosive. It erodes and eats away at everything if left unchecked. The sense of safety you have by remaining passive is an illusion. Corruption will eat your comfort.

You still haven't told me what is the right thing you want done. What is this end state you are looking for and how do we get there.

Why should I give up my good life for what you think is right? Here is your 30-second elevator pitch moment.

a reply to: Xtrozero

The right thing is for people to get out of this deluded mindset that it's okay to live side by side with evil. Excusing corruption with statement like, "this is the way it's always been" and believing we will continue to sustain. That may have worked for previous generations. It's not going to work, anymore.

This exactly what I'm talking about. You've chosen the security of your material "good life" over moral fortitude. And you believe there won't be a price to pay.

We are at a crossroads. Anyone who doesn't consciously choose the direction of their future path with conviction, will have it chosen for them.

Cocaine addict Zelensky talking to US Congress……

“We have artillery, yes. Thank you. We have it. Is it enough? Honestly, not really. To ensure Bakhmut is not just a stronghold that holds back the Russian Army, but for the Russian Army to completely pull out, more cannons and shells are needed. If so, just like the Battle of Saratoga, the fight for Bakhmut will change the trajectory of our war for independence and for freedom.” www.nytimes.com...

What happened at Bakhmut…,

“On 4 June 2023, the Ukrainian summer counteroffensive began and the Bakhmut sector was one of its three main axes.[191][192] However, only small amounts of territory were recaptured,[192] most notably Andriivka on 15 September and Klishchiivka around 17 September.[193][194] By 29 November 2023, after the counteroffensive had stalled, Russian forces had regained the initiative and captured Khromove on the western outskirts of Bakhmut. They had also recaptured considerable portions of territory south of the Berkhivka Reservoir that they previously lost in May.[195][196] Bakhmut was the largest Ukrainian city to switch hands in 2023 and the battle greatly contributed to Russia's net gain of territory during the year.” en.m.wikipedia.org...

Naw Ukraine may not be able to buy stuff, but they know how to get supplies to the front.

Russia is still trying to do supply lines like its 1917.

The Ukrainians will suffer the same fate as their Nazi WW2 brethren.
Except they’ll have nowhere to run to.
If saner heads prevail then Ukraine will get to keep the majority of their country and be able to populate it again.
If one more major conflict breaks(Taiwan) which country do you think gets the weapons pipeline shut off first?
Israel?
Not likely.
Ukraine needs to negotiate.

War is a racket

15? Executed whilst surrendering? Nice.

You good with that?

He's not an actor/comedian at the moment.

He's a war time President.

And standing up to your Tin God pretty well.

But yes, all actors/comedians are cokeheads. Obviously.

The hate/propaganda is strong with you.

1. No. Have you?
2. Yes
3. I know he was. Not now. Did you know Ronald Reagan was an actor? Was he rubbish as President? Was he coked up?
