Avdiivka direction. Russian serviceman says their group of 70 has 14 people remaining alive. They're meant to be "closing the cauldron" as a gift for Putin's inauguration.
Imagine becoming sacrificial tribute to a megalomaniac, and not revolting about it.
Russians really are mindless serfs.

These videos are all posted on Russian Telegram so ordinary Russians are getting to see the utter hellscape that's awaiting them and still they go!? How!?

It really makes me sad to think about all this. So much suffering and death and expense. For Ukraine it is surviving an existential threat. That makes sense to me. For Russia it is just because they feel they have the right to something that someone else has? Unbelievably stupid. Utterly disgusting.

It is what it is, sadly.
They used to own Europe up until Berlin and treated it as a colony essentially to fatten themselves. A lot of the tanks and what not being destroyed were made by the sweat of German farmers. Asia most of it under their influence, essentially pseudo vassal estates.
Given that Eurasia is the largest landmass on Earth that was an unbelievable amount of power and influence.
All of this was until 30-40 years ago! Only! And then one day and poof it all vanished. There was nothing of the greatest empire on earth.
Putin yearns for this power and he’s convinced he can get it done.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spox Maria Zakharova repeated #Kremlin demands for regime-change in #Kyiv, disarmament of #Ukraine, and Ukrainian recognition of Russian territorial claims exceeding the current front lines in a written interview with @AFP on December 9.(1/5)
2/ Zakharova demanded that Ukraine withdraw its troops from "Russian territory," i.e. the parts of Kherson, Zaporizhia, Luhansk, and Donetsk oblasts that Ukrainian forces currently hold.
3/ Zakharova repeated Moscow’s demand that Ukraine commit to “neutrality,” i.e., commit formally never to join NATO, and that Ukraine be “de-militarized,” that is, permanently disarmed and at Russia’s mercy.
4/ The Kremlin’s repeated insistence on “denazification” is code for regime change: replacing the elected government of #Ukraine with a government acceptable to the Kremlin.
5/ The Russian demand for Ukraine to give #Russia territory Ukraine now holds indicates that Russia’s aims far transcend keeping the territory Russian forces have already seized.

Russia is deliberately trying to advance in the few places where Ukraine managed to take ground during the counteroffensive. Imagine spending so much time and so many lives for those meager gains, and then Russia takes that land back. That will be seriously devastating for Ukrainian morale....

Hardly surprising, but Putin is clear in his press conference today that he goes full out to get all of, and there isn’t the slightest hint from him of any lull, ceasefire or compromise.

It's high fucking time NATO got involved, this cunt will continue to send slaves to die for no reason and we should be helping Ukraine continue to kill as many of them as we can until something in that cesspool of a country breaks, even of we don't send our troops to the front the very least we can do is strengthen the borders and take over the logistics freeing up more Ukrainians to fight, this pussy footing around a genocidal cunt has gone on long enough and even if somehow the Americans elect the orange monkey back into power, the EU needs to step up as America slides into right wing madness and end this before the yanks make a deal with Russia
To be fair Biden and his administration could have done more as well. It still boggles my mind that it took them over a year to finally send tanks and ATACMS missiles.....and they end up sending just 31 of the former and 20 of the latter. Thats just ridiculous...

Fully agree, the west should hang their head in shame for the absolute bollocks they've made of this, once the Ukrainians showed that they where not only willing to fight but able to so effectively we should've just transferred everything, these hollow threats from Russia with their constant red lines should've been ignored and ridiculed, we have nothing to fear from them, their army is a joke, it's nothing more than meat slaves and rapists who hate each other probably as much as they hate the Ukrainians, NATO would roll over them so badly it would be embarrassing, there has to be something more to it cause "oh noes he may nuke us" really doesn't cut the mustard

How is Putin's puppet being portrayed within Hungary's borders? Do the national papers mock him with pictures of Putin's hand up his arse? How are the people not enraged that their elected leader is siding with the 21st centurys equivalent of Hitler, if this was any other EU nation there'd be national outrage.. don't even start me on GOP America ffs

Should use Article 7 on Hungary. Putins little dog shouldn't be allowed to hold the EU hostage regarding Ukraine.
Not that it would be a great loss either, think they gain more from the EU financial wise than they do putting money in.
See how long it is til they either go crawling back, or do their own Brexit.
Just as much as a shithouse as Erdogan. They're not our allies and in it strictly for themselves.

Badly injured "veterans" from "Luhansk People's Republic" can't survive on an $80 pension, which is so small because "no one sent them there [to Ukraine]". There are currently 617,000 of these "veterans" on the waiting list to record similar videos. This is just the beginning.

They said it themselves though. They were "defending" Luhansk Republic, which wasn't part of Russia during 2014-2018, why would they get anything from Russia? Unless you're telling me they were fighting on behalf of Russia to begin with!

Orban is borderline authoritarian. He and his party intimidate any opposition and own the remaining media.
They are genuinely fairly popular, but have consolidated power through immoral means.
It's no wonder he sucks Putin's dick.

Ukrainian army received first Scythe drones with a flight range of 750 km
Ukrainian Army received new AQ 400 Scythe drones with flight range of 750 km and payload of 32 kg. Production capacity is 100 drones monthly.
insightnews.media
The first video of the test flight of the “Ukrainian suicide bomber” - AQ 400 “Scythe”
The drone costs from $15 thousand, has a plywood body, and is capable of carrying 32 kg of explosives. The declared range is 750-950 km.
The total costs can vary because there is a “swarm” option: when the main drone accompanies 9 base drones following it to the target area.
The European Union wants to deprive Hungary of the right to vote in order to conclude an agreement on the allocation of money to Ukraine, report the Financial Times with reference to European diplomats. It has been argued that article 7 of the 2007 European Union Treaty, allowing for the country’s disenfranchisement due to violations of European law, could be applied in the EU.
Russian State Duma deputy, an FSB general and others have co-written a 'scientific paper' about the genocide of Russians by "beast people", feminists who worship the demoness Lilith, a lack of men due to a US plot, reptilian infiltrators, and oral sex.

Blocking by one member was never going to work, EU will just build new rules that fit them. I bet orban or whatever he's called gets a pretty big paycheck from putin in some form.

Reportedly Russia now has half the prison population that it had before the war. Hence why they’ve stabilized presence in the front without major recruitment. Although a minority, women prisoners are being forcibly recruited as well.
