Russian special military operation in Ukraine #53

The BBC and the UK government, especially David Pig sh*gger Cameron certainly know how to make people laugh.
The man's certainly deluded in every sense.

So Russia is up against  these 25 other nations in sanctions, providing arms, ammo, assistant, money, de-facto troops on the ground, and still can't defeat one country (Russia) and they are running out of arms to send, and what they did send majority was outdated and they are running low on ammo. Ok aye certainly seems they have outmatched Russia  

As for outmatched  in economic terms well Russia despite having the biggest sanction package ever the west are the ones struggling with countries in a recession including the UK the cost of living increasing and they are still buying Russian oil through the backdoor yet again are they really outmatching them  

And Cameron trying to distract by saying an old soviet era landing ship being damaged/sunk is somehow a good trade off for mass deaths, wounded, and a huge mass retreat from a key town in the Donbass. And him saying Ukraine trading in the black sea (which is miniscule) is somehow Ukraines economy doing well. What a complete fool and delusional malignant parasite.

"Lord Cameron says Russia 'outmatched' by Ukraine's allies who must 'make difference count'
Lord Cameron again urged the US to approve more aid for Ukraine as a proposed $61bn (£49bn) funding package struggles to make its way through Congress.

Speaking to Sky News at a security conference in Munich, the foreign secretary said Ukraine's partners outmatched Russia "25 to one" and that they've "got to make that difference count".

Lord Cameron said: "What I'm clear about is that Britain is absolutely in the lead of providing support [to Ukraine]. The first to provide so many different weapons systems and, of course, first to give the new security guarantees to Ukraine. Now others are following that.

"But most of all… look at what Ukraine's allies have. If you add up our economies, we outmatch Russia 25 to one. We've got the ability to give that diplomatic, military, economic, moral support. We've just got to make that difference count."

The former prime minister's comments come after Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine's newly appointed commander-in-chief, said his forces were retreating from the frontline city of Avdiivka to "avoid encirclement" by Russian troops.

"Of course, things that happen in Ukraine, that's for the Ukraine armed forces to decide," Lord Cameron added.

"But I would point you towards the Black Sea, where yet again, another Russian ship has been sunk by incredibly brave Ukrainian action.

"And on the Black Sea, the Russian fleet has been pushed right back across the Black Sea. Ukraine is exporting again. Its economy is growing again. And that is incredibly important news."

And another BBC article where the picture shows an old Ukrainian man with a rifle he must be 65+

from the BBC:

Despite losing thousands of soldiers in the process, Moscow has made its size count by replenishing them almost immediately.

Ukrainian forces have suffered losses too, though not to the same extent.

lol yet they know about the conscription crisis in Ukraine

According to him, there was confirmation from the Ecuadorian side that Quito, as a UN member, cannot afford to be drawn into the conflict.

   “Ecuador’s position is not to send weapons and ammunition to hot zones, but to contribute to the resolution of conflicts peacefully, through diplomatic instruments,” RIA Novosti quotes the Russian ambassador.

When asked if this means that Ecuador will not send Russian military equipment to the United States, Sprincan said: “Yes.” He added that this would be announced early next week.

Earlier, an official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Ecuador’s decision to transfer Russian military equipment to the States was made under pressure from third parties. She noted that Washington would not offer modern equipment in exchange for “scrap metal,” as our equipment was called in Quito.

NOTE: had read somewhere else that an announcement was made yesterday saying banana shipments could resume... so this could be called battle of the bananas!

You can't get much more "banana republic" then that.

Argentina and Brazil are the only countries capable of having a sovereign policy in Latin America. I do not add Cuba and Venezuela because they are very exhausted leftist regimes and without any technological or economic capacity. If Argentina and Brazil united in the south they could resist Anglo-Saxon influence.

I would exclude Argentina from that list now. The new guy is 10000 % a US plant. By adopting the USD Argentina is a US slave.

Remember that we are talking about a shithole that had no healthcare for a while now.

Milei want an alignment with Trump. Biden supported his rival in the elections.
I talked about future possibilities.  Argentina and Brazil have the conditions to be stronger than the rest of the countries in the region. That's historical. Anyway, neither country has real nationalists in power. Milei is a sionist stupid and Lula is a communist allied to drug trafficking and socialist progressivism.

The Russian army went on the offensive near Rabotino. 

Active defence. 

 If you add up our economies, we outmatch Russia 25 to one. 

Creating money from thin air has nothing to do with real economy.
You can´t stop a tank with a Credit Default Swap or a Pension Insurance.
But a dumbass like Cameron would never get that.

He can be 45.

Or 25. 

This pic will shock the west:

Until now the west believed that Russia needs all the washing machines to harverst their chips
and build cruise missiles and other stuff. But... They got washing machines behind the frontline
for... cleaning their clothing!!!!!!

Jokes aside, you have not experienced that.
I have seen a 30y/o from 404 with no teeth.
It is a kind of dizzy dispute, as people living in a different space won't get the point. Or will consider that we are flattering ourselves
But no folks, it is just a reality.
In all of Europe, medicine treatment was a clear thing for decades.
Every person who paid a social insurance, was insured for every medical procedure, for free.
There are no "medical bills" or "medical bankruptcy" in Europe.
Soo ... just take a look of how much can be robbed here, right?

@GeromanAT
Today in the Kremlin, the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Army General S.K. Shoigu reported to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation about the complete taking under control of the “Center” group of troops under the command of Colonel General Andrei Mordvichev of the city of Avdeevka of the Donetsk People’s Republic, which was a powerful defensive hub of the Ukrainian armed forces.

As a result , an area of 31.75 square meters was liberated from Ukrainian nationalists. km. Enemy losses in the battles for Avdeevka over the past 24 hours amounted to more than 1,500 military personnel.

Under the continuous fire of Russian troops, only individual scattered formations of Ukrainian militants managed to hastily leave Avdiivka, abandoning their weapons and military equipment.

Currently, measures are being taken to finally clear the city of militants and block Ukrainian units that have left the city and settled at the Avdeevka coke-chemical plant.

The liberation of Avdeevka made it possible to move the front line away from Donetsk , thereby significantly protecting it from terrorist attacks by the criminal Kiev regime.

Information about the advance of our troops was not made public until the enemy was completely defeated and the city was taken under control.

Troops of the “Center” group of troops continue offensive actions to further liberate the Donetsk People’s Republic from Ukrainian nationalists.

Russian Ministry of Defense

Avdeevka is liberated.

Western and ukrainian propaganda could talk a lot of BS, but Avdeevka was liberated by 4 russian / DNR brigades and inside Avdeevka were at least 3rd and 110th ukrainian brigade + other units, so no big numerical advantage on Russian side. Considering, how many reinforcements Ukraine send in Avdeevka from Zaporozhye and other sectors, forces were mostly 1 on 1. Russian succes went mostly on heavy bombardment by air force, artilery and drones, so Ukrainian army have way larger losses, that such stong fortress fall.

Good and realistic analysis from pro-ukrainian source: https://twitter.com/pati_marins64/status/1758921463405380015

Is the coke plant outside the Russian controlled area?

EDIT Answered by Kiko below

For two years Russian army with DNR and LNR corps keep the front line with 150 - 250 thousand soldiers. Since february Ukraine together with standing army mobilize around 2 million sioldiers. They have 1 million sioldiers in 2022, although they never reach that number because of heavy losses. How many ukrainian soldiers remain now? For population of 20 million people in Ukraine, this is a max mobilization resources. Ukraine is running out of people for mobilization. On the other side Russia mobilize 300.000 soldiers and around 400.000 soldiers join army as volunteers. Ukrainian army have all time of war numerical advantage by many times, max was 5 to 1 in time of autumn offensive 2022. Now Russian army have in Ukraine around 600.000 soldiers and are now more or less 1 on 1 with Ukrainan army. Just by numbers it is clearly seen, how much bigger losses suffer Ukrainian army comparing to Russian army.

Avdeevka is now an indicator, how terribly Ukraine gamble their numerical advantage and is now without reserves. In the battle of Artemovsk (Bahmut), Ukraine have 40 brigades and considering, that many brigades went on refilling with new soldiers to replace losses, there were around 200.000 ukrainian soldiers and they lost the battle. In Avdeevka ukrainian army send reinforcements from other front sectors but they were not able to replace losses in units as in Bahmut.

Russian troops that liberated Avdeevka are taking measures to block Ukrainian forces who have left the city and settled at the Avdeevka coke plant, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

A “final cleansing” of the city from the Ukrainian military is also underway, the Ministry of Defense reported on Telegram .

Let us remind you that Alexander Perendzhiev, a member of the expert council of “Officers of Russia”, did not rule out that the battles for the liberation of the plant may take  some time - there are “underground passages, supplies of water and food”, “serious ground and underground fortifications” that can be used “ some “fans” from among the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades.”
