Ukraine has no chill… they’re already on the left side of the Dnieper apparently. Exactly what happened, the extent of the activities is unclear tho.

I seen a video describing how hard it would be for Russia to attack the peninsula. Very interesting and I'd never have thought of this.



It seems easy to hold bye a ground force as long as they stay within artillery range. There can only be two goals here. Either hold the peninsula to distract Russia and pull more forces that way or move up the river and liberate the other side of the dam to give Ukraine a better crossing point. If they managed to establish a proper bridgehead liberating the nuclear power plant would likely happen and they could attack Melitopol from the north and West.

Cutting off support from Crimea would also be doable. Nothing might come of this but it's definitely brought an interesting new dynamic.

The Russians who retreated from Kherson probably aren't too motivated to stop them right now.

I suppose you mean they are on the right side/south of the Dnipro pushing from the left. Not sure if we're talking about the same events, but interestingly enough, despite not being well reported, ruzzia actually also retreated from areas across/south/right side of the river; Cities like Nova Kahovka. And I'm sure the Ukrainians are actively pushing other places as well.

Edit: Sorry, obviously I didn't know about the definitions of left and right bank.

He means the right bank, it's confusing I know. It's based on which way the river flows.

It flows from north to south, so you have to look at it that way. That means the right bank is the side ukraine is on and the left bank is the nazi orcs.

Ah, thanks for explaining that, makes perfect sense now, I feel enlightened My bad Bitmap

With winter coming I could see Ukraine continuing hard on Crimea and slowing down a bit in the NE due to the ground.

Makes sense. Always do the opposite of what you did last time. They consolidated after Kharkiv, and I bet the Russians thought they'd do the same after Kherson. Instead they appear to be harrying them along the banks of the river, which is good strategy, as they're not giving the orcs enough time to resettle into position - which is, I'm sure what they were expecting to be able to do. Excellent psychological warfare at play.

It'll also be easier in Kherson.

They have far less territory to consolidate (though undoubtable more issues like Russian moles, mines, and the amount of artillery still facing them), better weather (and therefore ground), and the Russians facing them are likely in an even worse state than those that were around Kharkiv. Not to mention the morale boost of getting Kherson back. Kharkiv was no small thing, but Russia never managed to take the city itself.

I guess the obvious strategy at this point is to push the orcs east from the whole oblast, until Crimea is cut off. The continuing push across the river certainly seems to suggest that's what they're doing. I would have liked to have seen a massive push down towards Melitopol and the coast to cut the fuckers off and grind them into paste, but if they want to pussy out and run away east, that's okay too. Cutting of Crimea one way or the other has to be a main goal, because at that point, by crikey do you have one hell of a bargaining chip.

russia shooting massive rocket attack all over ukraine kyiv, lviv, charkiv other cities asap, saw some rockets got hit at civilian apartments.

More of Kherson oblast being liberated for definite.

Yes, it’s a tantrum.. that’s what little children also do.. it won’t matter though .. they will lose.

That's to be expected from terrorists. But they are so stupid that keep spending resources on apartment buildings. I just hope there are no causalties.

 

[nemiroff]

For the sake of facts and honesty I'd like to apologize for sort-of spreading misinformation yesterday. We found out today that the "pictures of soldiers in Nova Kakhovka" was not as accurate as we thought. It was from close to Nova Kakhovka, but not inside the city itself.

Anyway, they say in the news that ruZZia sent over 100 missiles into Ukraine after Zelensky finished his speech at the G19 summit. Well, again, fuck ruZZia and the few left who supports them.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

800 million dollars worth of cruise missiles to hit civilian targets is a tantrum.

 

[Thaedolus]

Choo choo, motherfuckers. Keep invading backwards.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Fuuuuuck 2 of the Russian cruise missiles might have landed on Poland killing 2 poles.



Edited to reflect unconfirmed status

 

[rofif]

There are rumors that some missiles might've landed on Poland side.
NOT confirmed

Oh shit

 

[Kenpachii]

Oh shit

Dam

 

[IDKFA]

If confirmed, do you think this would trigger article 5 and NATO would join the conflict?

 

[Nobody_Important]

Surely that isnt enough to trigger article 5.


Come on.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Come on.

It isn’t, but the poles have a profound disliking for anything russian so who knows if they’ll send a couple missiles back in retaliation or whatever.

 

[rofif]

If confirmed, do you think this would trigger article 5 and NATO would join the conflict?

No of course not (I hope).
Stray misfire and rockets and so on are unfortunately normal in war. of course then Russia would have to APOLOGIZE and so on... which they will never do, so that might do it

 

[Nobody_Important]

The chance of Russia even acknowledging that the missiles ever existed is basically zero let alone admitting that they were theirs and that they are sorry.

 

[FunkMiller]

Nope. It's not provable as a deliberate attack on Poland. No grounds for Art 5.

Now, were Poland to suddenly develop a much stronger defensive line along its border as a result of it... that's another story.

An armored division or so at combat readiness should do the trick.

 

[FunkMiller]

An armored division or so at combat readiness should do the trick.

And NATO now has ample justification to step up support even further.

HERE COME THE ATACMS, GOAT FUCKERS!

Hopefully they start to remove any restriction on what can be provided, that would be a huge improvement

DON'T PROVOKE THEM!


Fuck Russia.

ATACMS should have been available a loong fucking time ago.

[Doczu]

So apparently a Russian missile has hit Polish soil, 2 dead. All is unconfirmed, but the government and the the BIS (Bureau of Internal Security) is meeting.

So it sounds like it did drop.

EDIT: late like my wifes period.

 

[Nobody_Important]

If the name of the town is correct that is fucking WAY WAY WAY far away from any active bombardment zones.

How the fuck does Russia miss that badly?

 

[Rentahamster]

Ah, thanks for explaining that, makes perfect sense now, I feel enlightened My bad Bitmap

It's the same problem I had in school when I first learned what "Upper Egypt" and "Lower Egypt" are.

 

[Doczu]

If the name of the town is correct that is fucking WAY WAY WAY far away from any active bombardment zones.

Well whatever the name of the town - it's still on the same part of the map. That's like way out of the target zone.

 

[vewn]

If the name of the town is correct that is fucking WAY WAY WAY far away from any active bombardment zones.

The bombardment zones are all across Ukraine as the vatniks are targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.
The cruise missiles were probably sent from Kaliningrad targeting Lviv and other big cities.

 

[kuncol02]

If the name of the town is correct that is fucking WAY WAY WAY far away from any active bombardment zones.

It's like 20km from closest town that was attacked. I would say that's quite close. There are also informations that it was earlier damaged by Ukrainian defences.

 

[rofif]

6km from border to Ukraine

 

[Nobody_Important]

For a precision munition that is WAY off course. Even for one thats damaged.

 

[UnNamed]

Time to strike some goat fucker russian farmer with a 700km range missile by mistake.

 

[Bartski]

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Time to give Ukraine long range missiles. All they want really.

That would be the appropriate response.

 

[Banjo64]

I think we’re going to see serious NATO air defence systems deployed in Ukraine and all along the border with Russia. I don’t know if this is deliberate or really poor technology from Russia, however this is not the way to decrease NATO support to Ukraine.

[Lukaku's First Touch]

I'd be surprised if article 5 is activated. I wouldn't be surprised if all weapons are now available to Ukraine and a no fly zone is put up.

 

[rofif]

Well article 5 is only if it was INTENTIONAL.
If it wasn't, a member country can ask to discuss article 4. it's not automatic

 

[TheMan]

I'd be surprised if article 5 is activated. I wouldn't be surprised if all weapons are now available to Ukraine and a no fly zone is put up.

I really can’t see them activating unless aggression was unequivocal. Reality is they are not going to start a world war over 2 dead farmers (not saying that their deaths aren’t tragic)

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

To all Ruzzians you better start
