They'd need something with ~250km range to reach it from their closest positions.
But anyway, that official is talking out of his behind as usual.
So where did all the weapons go that the Nazis had back in February? Or all the ammo? Or the fuel depots? We know the answers but it´s really funny to see these western officials hiding the truth = lying the whole time.

Pushilin says that the balance of power has shifted in the Donbass, that LDNR have "military advantage" and will be going in hard against the heavily fortified UA positions from which they've been shelled.

This general is actively self promoting himself as " able and willing" to replace Zaluzhny, as the latter has been put on chopping block by Zelensky. This comes in sync with all the auctioning with number of daily losses suffered by Ukrainian army. Zelensky's people want to show that Zaluzhny is incompetent and war will change as soon as they replace him and new weapons arrive. This guy just wants to position himself for ensuing power struggle in General staff . That's him. If you google his name, you'll see that he made many upbeat statements in last week. Too convenient if you ask me.

Militants from "Azovstal" are checked for the presence of high-ranking mercenaries, 16.06.2022.
The authorities of the Donetsk People's Republic are working to identify high-ranking mercenaries among the nationalists who surrendered from Azovstal, Denis Pushilin, head of the DPR, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
“From what I can say: checks are still being carried out, that is, this cannot be solved with one touch. There are many opportunities to hide this data from our opponents. Information about destroyed high ranks is also being checked,” he said.
According to Pushilin, "completely official information will come later."

This thing is only over when every Nazi and foreign kiev fighter/mercenary's are turned to Fertilizer. No compromise, Kiev can surrender unconditionally. Or get their ticket punched and Meet Bandera in Hell.
Ukraine's losses are catastrophic, their fronts will collapse sooner than later.

I will say that Russia really needs to step up its game in counter battery fire. Allowing Donetsk to be shelled for a few days is really kinda sad. They really need a dedicated counter battery task force. This task force should have #1 priority on all fire missions except where troops are facing an attack and could be overrun. In any case 2 tubes from each artillery formation as well as about 5 iskander missile with sub munition or thermobaric warheads at the ready.

Here is a good map early in the war to understand what Russian army is capable to do, without deploying in full strength
Here nearly half of Ukraine is taken, without mobilization or full deployment of contract men
So mobilization is not needed
None in Kremlin are considering to storm it right now
It will be a long process
If they really would need more men, there are how many conscripts currently in the Army? 200.000? They would send them in before they "grab" men from their workplaces.
225,000 -228,000 conscripts 1/3 still getting basic / trade training (75-76,000) 2/3 operational (150-152,000) 1/2 having 6 months training / experience (112-114,000)

Interesting numbers... not sure if some others of you are seeing these published names??
Just Me @failure1991 Replying to @iwanttospyonyou 3,502 is just the published names of dead RuAF, Rosgvardia, and FSB personnel. It does not include missing. Plus it excludes the 2,100 for DNR and 1,500 for LNR to it is officially now 6,600. So our 8,000 - 9,000 KIA is probably correct. 8:39 PM · Jun 10, 2022·Twitter Web App

The ones who are expendable are actually the Ukrainians. Not just by the West for their attempt at regime change in Russia, but by the Ukrainian regime itself which is ready to sacrifice hundreds of them every day in a barely comprehensible bid to improve its negotiating position. Does Kiev imagine that Putin at this stage will suddenly flip-flop and drop his demands in return for a ceasefire? Or is it targeting the Crimean Bridge that will make him sue for peace?
Russia on the other hand must be said, acted to minimize its casualties as soon as possible and has continued to minimize them throughout the conflict and improve its ratio. The ratio of Russian to Ukrainian casualties right now is probably approaching something like 50:1 The Ukraine is fighting a very futile war in an even more futile way. Facing such a disparity of firepower the Ukrainian military should have long ago dispersed to form an insurgency. Instead they are being flooded into every front-line outpost, bunker and village along the way of the Russian advance in some echo of the battle of Verdun only spread across an entire theatre of war rather than just a single fortress.

No, the truth is fucking huge combined armies are sitting in Russia and Belarus as in February
Tank parks and BMP parks
Curiously commercial Sats image providers and Osint-doers also seems to avoid providing and analyzing images from Belarus or the Border. They're more interested in Snake island and the firefights.
1. A referendum on the entry of the DPR into Russia will be held in the republic after the end of the NWO. The republic plans to become part of the Russian Federation as a separate subject of the federation.
2. Due to the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine, the DPR army will not stop at the borders of the republic. However, the troops of the DPR are already involved in the Zaporozhye direction.
3. There are no grounds for pardoning foreign mercenaries convicted in the DPR. There are no negotiations on their exchange. The deadline for appealing the death penalty is early July.
4. Ukrainian prisoners of war who did not take part in hostilities will not be released. Their fate will be decided after the completion of the NWO. Quite logical, given the mobilization in Ukraine.
5. All Russian cities must be liberated, including Odessa. Zelensky should be brought before an international tribunal.
6. The hope was expressed for the completion of the NWO by the end of 2022. There are serious doubts that the war will end in 2022.
7. It is still impossible to calculate the total amount of damage to the DPR from the actions of Ukraine. More than 1,500 houses need to be repaired in Mariupol alone.

They'd never show it on NBC, but I hope that the Russians or the DPR/LPR militias capture Malcolm Nance and then have RT interview him, one journalist to another.
