Denys here says Ukraine has around 700,000 regular soldiers and the rest are reserves, special forces, militias and border police totaling 1 million men under arms, or so says the Ukrainian minister of defense. The Russians have 70,000 combat troops in Ukraine plus those dragooned from the LPR and DPR. That would give the Ukrainians a ten to one advantage with regular troops, the Russians are running low on ammo and their logistics are getting hammered by MLRS and other long range shit, including drones. Get rid of the Russian artillery in a sector by either destroying the guns and their ammo and they could blow right through the Russian defenses, or what was left of them. They must be waiting on more hardware, because they have plenty of troops now, destroy the Russian logistical support to their front and weaken it even more. Strike deep enough into their rear at fuel or munitions and it could create a systemic issue across many BTGs and lead to a collapse.

Occupiers are hysterical at number of killed and wounded russian soldiers
38,726 views Jul 8, 2022 The invaders dream of returning home alive. And the Armed Forces of Ukraine make the ruscists get nervous breakdowns and a desire for treatment.

The occupier, stationed in Kherson region, tells about this in a conversation intercepted by the SSU.

‘This is for life, I’m sick. Do you know how many corpses I’ve seen? Without a head, without legs, without a body, without anything, just those who come in ‘zinc’ [coffins]. They just collect them, drop parts, pieces. It’s dark, I’ll never recover from this,’ the invader says.

He no longer can imagine what it is like to live an ordinary life in a peaceful city. If he returns, he plans to visit churches and monasteries. But is it possible to atone for those sins and atrocities that the ruscists commit in Ukraine?

The SSU reminds that russian soldiers have a reliable way to save their lives. Hotline 2402 works for all occupiers who want to surrender.

How is Ukraine getting Western weapons to the frontline?
18,181 views Jul 8, 2022 Western military equipment worth billions of dollars has been sent to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February, and Forces News has the breakdown on its journey. There's a huge, ongoing logistics operation to ensure tanks, artillery, Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), ammunition and other stores end up in the correct hands. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Glen Grant, from Riga Business School, explains how much of it is taken by reception organisations and brought across the Polish border.

i have to wonder what is stopping Ukraine from capping off those pipelines that run out of russia into Ukraine?
or diverting them to new pipelines that go where the Ukrainians want them to go?
suppose the Germans are making the Ukrainians leave them alone, or else they lose support from Germany?
because i would have shut those fuckers down on day two of the war...
As soon as Ukraine diverts the gas Russia will stop the pumps. Actually Russia is showing Europe by having simultaneous routine maintenance shutdowns stopping the gas flow telling Europe this could happen in the winter.

I'm surprised Russia hasn't shut the taps already. European countries are supplying the country they are invading, they don't have to supply those countries with gas.
Russia must still be supplying for political reasons.

The U.S. has identified at least 18 sites set up by Russia to detain and forcibly deport Ukrainian civilians to Russia. Moscow appeared to have made preparations for the so-called filtration camps even before its forces invaded Ukraine.

Look at Russian "Mob mentality" and see what the MAGA will eventuate into. Trump wanted to make America into a Russian like kleptocracy. And the DOJ is still dithering about, without DOING anything about it.

The western governments should seize the Russian funds in the west and give it to Ukrain for damages. Oligarchs loosing ~$10 billion USD overnight will cause Putin to "Fall down the Stairs" and die from a self inflicted neck breaking.

They would lose a lot more than 10 billion bucks, more like hundreds of billions or even a trillion or more, if they got serious. The Russian's stole from home and stashed it abroad, never reinvested it in their own country, turned it into dollars and kept it outside the country. Many of the yachts we hear about are mobile mansions, outside Russia, but their plan never worked out, they were a plan B in case Vlad turned on them, but they never counted on war and getting hammered by international sanctions.

American #HIMARS in #Ukraine gets grudging respect from #Russian !

Ukraine will have 8 more HIMARS for a total of 12 by July 15. These don't include the 6 MLRS M270 being supplied by the UK/ Netherlands. We should see a significant increase in the ferocity of destruction on Russian logistics in the coming weeks which will slowly turn the tide of the war in Ukraine's favor. The US will probably continue to supply additional HIMARS with each weapons package.

How Many Artillery Shells Does Russia Have Left?


Jim Sackman Business Coaching
3 hours ago
The bigger issue is likely to be barrel life of the artillery. They have lots of stocks, but quality of that might be a problem. Also, many stocks are 122mm. These are not really used in active units and there may be low stockpiles of 122mm ammo. Anyway, Russia builds all of its barrels in a single factory as I understand it. There are western machine tools there that are required to build new barrels and who knows the state of those. So, this is also something to keep an eye on.

They won't get out from under sanctions until the Ukrainians are released and no peace agreement would be possible. Something else for Germany and France to think about if they wanna suck Vlad's ass for gas and peace at any price. Joe is getting antsy about reelection so getting Russia off the table and improving economic conditions is looking increasingly likely. Russia has committed enough, used up enough and lost enough troops and equipment, it might be soon time for Russia to be kicked out of Ukraine. They should be destroyed, driven to the borders and shelled on their own side as they run. Capture as many in Crimea as possible and exchange them for Ukrainians and force them to destroy or leave all the equipment they have there and in the south.

China might cause shit in Taiwan, hard to believe they would be so fucking stupid though. So it might be time to kick Russia's ass, end this shit and develop Ukraine as an energy, economic and military regional super power. One that can deal with the remnants of the Russian army by itself and be allied with NATO and others in the region. Like at the end of the second world war, Uncle Sam wanted the troops out of Europe and headed for Japan. One way to do that was to rapidly rearm the French and other allied free Europeans to build them up as a counter balance to Russia after a time, the French were most eager and motivated!
