    Russia is indeed not committing neither full force nor the best equipment, they probably do not want to destroy the country, the salvageable part of the armed forces or annoy the civilians too much. They still seem to plan their foreign interventions with the training budget so to say, and they need to keep their escalation capability just in case. The West is inching towards war with Russia, even when they don't have the guts for it they are rabid and almost losing control trying to make Russia pay for the loss of their ukie pawns, therefore anything could happen in case they detect any weak spot.

    War will show the plan as they say, let’s trust in the professionalism of our troops and believe that this weekend we will see some serious progress.

    Most importantly let it end as soon as possible with as few deaths as possible.

    Switzerland troops?

    If mistakes are made, those who do should face serious consequences.

    If war will be lost this will go even higher up.

    Until now, all of it it's just a fog of war

    The operation is not contiguous fronts sweeping into Banderastan. There will always be a rear in such a large country.
    It is the biggest in Europe outside of Russia. From the eastern most point to the westernmost point is 1290 km which
    is like the distance from the eastern border of Poland past the eastern border of France.

    The only way to ensure safety is to scorch the landscape and drive everyone out. American style.

    Eduard Basurin , deputy head of the People's Militia Department of the Donetsk People's Republic , said that since the beginning of the liberation operation, 12 settlements in the south of Donbass have passed under the control of the DPR, TASS reports .

    According to him, the units of the People's Militia took control of the settlements of Andreevka, Bogdanovka, Nikolaevka, Novognatovka, Trudovskoye, Vasilyevka, Rybinsk, Starognatovka, Chicherino, Prokhorovka, Pavlopol, Pishchevik, as well as the areas and roads adjacent to them.

    According to Basurin, the DPR forces continue to successfully move deep into the defense of the Ukrainian security forces in the Mariupol direction, without encountering active resistance.

    He added that the units had reached the settlements of Anadol, Dmitrovka, Donskoye and Svobodnoye, located in the Volnovakha region.

    Which Russia won't do thus they will always gave an issue. But so long as they keep up, they will win.  They have less than 50K forces in Ukraine. Take that into consideration, for everyone here.

    Also, we should think about what DNR and LNR forces are doing. Russia is providing some kind of assistance to create a pincers move and so Ukraine is concentrating on Russia but losing ground to DNR and LNR forces. It's believed that is the plan all along. Whatever Russia captures is gravy.

    Russia's screw ups in Ukraine.

    Ethnic Russian Lenin created Ukraine.

    A Russian born Nikita Khruschev gave Crimea to Ukraine.

    Russia let Ukraine secede from the Soviet Union without any geographical concessions.

    After 1991 Russia poured money into Ukrainian state coffins while doing nothing to counter the rise of Ukrainian nationalism.

    Russia didn't back "their man" Yanukovych (well he was not pro-Russian but at least he was not a nazi) in 2013 when the West was actively backing the coupists. Russia was a just a passive bystander.

    Russia DID take back Crimea! That's good.

    BUT, Russia did not fully back the Donbass rebels against the Ukrainian army. In fact it was Putin who prevented the rebels from giving them the final blow back them with his ceasefire. Novorossiya could have taken Sloviansk and Mariupol back then.

    Russia continued to deliver gas through Ukrainian territory after the 2014 coup and thus financing an enemy state with $3-4 billion a year.

    And now after this invasion Russia made sure that Ukraine hates Russia for a very, very long time and strenghtened the Ukrainian nationalism for generations to come.

    Reminds me of the trick I used to use in the a bar in US. There was always one or to who were running their mouths about their time 'in the Nam' and killing about a kazzilion 'gooks'.
    Note 1. When Brand X is shooting at you when you leave, you lost.
    Note 2. The sure fire way to out a poser. Which side of the weapon main frame on Comrade Kalashnikov's Ode to World Peace is the magazine release on? Easy question, either right or left and if they say for instance 'left' and you mention 'wrong' it's always 'Oh yeah, been so long I forgot, it's on the right side.'
    Note 3. Wrong again, asshole.

    They´re extremly careful. Just to be clear, that is not the steamroller modus of the russian armed forces you would see against countries like Poland or Germany. There they would give a shit if some village is burned down to the ground. But some of the areas they are operating in are either part of the LDR/DPR or will propably become part of Novorossiya (if the leadership in Russia deceides to form that country).

    No, there is tons of criticism needed. But it has to be proven.

    For instance, leaving the airforce base unprotected so a tochka went through, not providing close air support for two supply columns so they get hit. Yes, possibly those supplies got hit, left other soldiers stranded without supplies.

    These are things that the Russian authorities learn. To expect perfection in war is silly. I'm much older than you and I recall wars of the past where tons of mistakes are made and no matter how well prepared you are, you will always have surprises.

    But to believe that Russia lost 3500 soldiers (much easier to prove), loss of two il76's (also easy to prove) and lost positions (this one is my favorite since russia gained a shit ton of ground in 3 days), I would say that is spreading fud and being concerned in the wrong area.

    That's a lot of big talk, suggests A) mental illness and B) you've never been to war. Take your meds schizo, the only thing nuked here is your brain.

    May I remind you that Ukrs and Russians are in fact one people, so smashing their skulls and harvesting their organs is counterproductive to what Putin et al wants.
