“Where Soledar go?”

Ukraine traded Soledar for Kherson. I’d say Ukraine got the better part of the deal.

And Prigozhin lost 30% of his troops in the past week trying to take the salt mine village and right after that Shoigu (and Putin) just cut off his ammo. Classic!

I said it's a goodie, not that it's real.

Unfortunately, it IS accurate, and I didn't even have to look to know both.

[MeganC]

“Fake yet accurate”.

Was that what it said on your last FITREP?

I know it hurts seeing Uke “men” giving Zelensky more attention than they give you.

[JonPreston]

Being run out of town is hardly a deal, and why would the Zelenskyites include control of the Kostiantynivka-Bakhmut highway as part of the 'deal'?

Man, that's a big ouchie!

[MeganC]

I was making a friendly jab, sorry you didn’t take it that way.

“Being run out of town is hardly a deal”

I’ll defer to your personal experience in being run out of town.

[marcusmaximus]

Kadyrov is next in line after Prigozhin to be thrown under Shoigu's bus. LOL!

[ansel12]

I got run out of a town once by a sheriff, it was just like a movie scene, we were causing a little trouble and he gave us a choice.

[JonPreston]

Where Soledar?

[marcusmaximus]

And Putin just threw his VDV forces General Teplinsky under the bus today for botching Solidar. So much winning!


Teplinsky's replacement Oleg Makarevich:

I told you and everyone else, that I do not mark my sarcasm and never qualify my posts.

I also regularly engage in ridicule because it's general usage is approved by 99% of Americans, and Americans can't be wrong, just ask one of 'em.

Additionally, I have told you privately what I think of you, and that still and always will stand.

...

And if you quote me, I will deny it.

[JonPreston]

Is this Soledar?

[JonPreston]

Why Ruzzians in Soledar?

“https://twitter.com...”

Feel free to use your sources, but I’ll use the Western and Russian media when they match, as they do with the Liberation of Soledar.

[marcusmaximus]

Prigozhin’s Telegram is going to be interesting tomorrow.

Shoigu and Gerasimov were using Russian blocking troops at the rear of the Wagner meat to force their advance over the past week. And now Shoigu just cut off Wagner’s ammo resupply over Prigozhin’s credit grab.

Popcorn time...

[popdonnelly]

The two groups involved are the only people who care.

[marcusmaximus]

Why aren’t there any Russian flags flying over “liberated” Soledar?

“Why aren’t there any Russian flags flying over “liberated” Soledar?”

Ask the Western Media, they’re the ones making the claim.
