“Robotyne has been liberated,” Ukraine’s deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar announced on August 28.
Although the tiny village, which had a pre-war population of fewer than 500 people, may be of little importance in itself, it lies along a strategic road that leads to the Russian-occupied road and railway hub of Tokmak. From there, another road leads to the key city of Melitopol, which, prior to Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, was known to Ukrainians as the “gateway” to the peninsula. Last week’s victory was therefore an important advance for Ukraine.
Just a few days earlier, however, fighters from Rusich, a small Russian neo-Nazi paramilitary group stationed at Robotyne’s front line, had threatened to lay down their arms – a move that may have contributed to Russia’s stinging loss there.
The official reason for the threat to lay down arms, Rusich explained in an August 25 statement on Telegram, was that one of the group’s top commanders and founding members, Yan Petrovsky, had been detained in Finland and faced extradition to Ukraine – and the Russian government was not doing much about it.
Petrovsky, a dual Russian-Norwegian national, co-founded Rusich back in 2014 to take part in the Russian occupation of Donbas and is believed to have been a contractor for the Wagner Group at one point. He faces various terrorism-related charges in Ukraine and risks being sentenced to between 15 and 20 years in prison if he is extradited.
In a series of messages screen-grabbed by the research project Antifascist Europe, Rusich members expressed frustration with their treatment by the Russian authorities.
“If the country cannot protect its citizens, why should the citizens protect the country?” asked one.

Has Putin fled the country again? I seem to remember some real laughable moments when you were posting about the first 2023 Russian “civil war”.
The plan was Putin was supposed to be dead by now from the various forms of cancer he was suffering from, that has not happened, now the plan is, Putin will overthrown or kicked out due to discontent in the ranks.
Meanwhile, Putin is part of a real axis of evil being formed against the USA and the West.
The short fat guy from North Korea is in Russia meeting with Putin, trading arms and factories for Russian goods, probably food an other raw materials, with maybe a little ICBM technology thrown in for good measure.
Throw in China and Iran and you have a pretty nasty group of adversaries forming alliances.
Throw in the BRICS countries challenging US Dollar supremacy and things are going great in Ukraine, the counteroffensive is going to break thru any day now and Russia will be driven out of Ukraine in no time.
From this video posted below Ukr is estimated to have lost (just guessing as he gives no definitive total) about 8 tanks, 16 APCs, a dozen artillery pieces and 500 KIA…over a 24 hr period ALONE.
The Video was released late afternoon last evening so it’s from that day or the day before no longer. These numbers are more or less repeated day after day in this continuing offensive.
At some point Ukr will be exhausted and then watch out the Russ turn begins again.
Let the slaughter end ☮️.

Your assessment ( short fat guy, alliances, US hegemony dying) is in direct conflict with senile Joe’s narrative. You must not be reading the western tripe,
the corrupted western MSM is guilty of lies and omissions, just to keep the billions flowing….and everyone now knows this- when does it stop?

“…population fewer than 500 people…”?
Actually ROBOTYNE HAD A PREWAR POPULATION OF 74 INDIVIDUALS. That’s not a typo… SEVENTY FOUR people. See following link.
https://www.city-facts.com/robotyne/population
The Ukrainians suffered thousands of deaths and many more maimed to capture this small village after more than two months of bloody effort. Plus hundreds of donated armored vehicles were destroyed. And the village of ROBOTYNE is located in a valley surrounded by Russian occupied high ground. So the Ukrainians will continue to suffer easily inflicted casualties and destruction of their wonder weapon armored vehicles as they strive to resupply and defend this village which has become what we in the military would call a KILL ZONE.
Just in: Not good for the Ukies. They are now requiring the refugee countries to return the estimated 160,000 war aged Ukie men who fled. The strange part ( through translation) is all Ukie men abroad aged 25-50, ( a departure from all 18-60 year olds)…AND re- evaluate ALL whom received dispensation From serving, including the Handicapped. DESPERATION.
No word yet how Poland will accomplish this/ various Polish media is split- full enforcement and deportation ( they are not to happy with all the Ukies on welfare) OR “ soft” deportation. Reasons stated: they know the ones sent back is a death sentence.
At least the world is waking up, they need to act quickly as the Ukie slaughter is
Intensifying.
I was a little unsure if I heard that on a podcast yesterday correctly. Thanks for clarifying.
That and they are now eliminating service exemptions for many ill males in Ukr. They are bleeding out.
I hope the war rah-rah crowd here is happy.
I’ve said for a while now, the current political system including the MSM can’t be reformed, by doing the same things over and over and hoping for different results.
Isn’t that the classic definition of insanity.
It will stop, when the USA suffers a catastrophic defeat, hopefully not as bad as Germany and Japan in WW II.
The defeat could be a major war that comes to our shores, it could an economic collapse, it could be another Civil War, it could be something totally unrelated.
Something will shake this country to it’s very core and threaten it’s survival, something to make 9/11 look like a small skirmish, I hope I’m wrong but the signs are all there if you think about it.

Is UKR defense spokesman Hannah Ma-liar that CIA American transgender guy? He has a perfect name for his job.
Losers amalgamating with other losers in order to project a semblance of present relevancy
Apologies, that American Transgender cia guy is UKR Defence spokesman Sarah Ashton-Cirillo. Nice touch there, Brandon, good way to secure all pervert support for $40 Billion more.
You have already been corrected on your postings about 18 to 60-year-olds, the draft, and reservists, post some links for these new claims.

An opportunity to turn 13 Arab capitols into glass.
Destroy 3 Gorges dam.
Russia? I dunno.
You haven’t posted about Putin’s “maniacal twitching” nor imminent death in quite a while.
Have the subbed the body double for Putin full time now??
Have you released the theme of the new Winter Ukrainian Offensive yet?
You can do all that, remember it will come back at you with equal force.
Compare what you posted to 10-15 American cities gone, another couple of EMPs taking out the electrical grid to everywhere else and it’s Armageddon.
It should be obvious using our currency and financial system as weapons backed up by aggressive military force around the world is not working and needs to stop.

“something to make 9/11 look like a small skirmish,”
9/11 was hyped by the Bush II regime and the media as an event equal to that of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This was 100% pure unadulterated propaganda that the sheep believed as they do with covid and glowbull warming.
9/11 was not a military attack by a sovereign nation at war with us. It was an Islamic terrorist attack and should have been treated as such. I absolutely did not care for President Clinton, but even he came out sand stated the obvious, that it was terrorism.
The Iraqi or Afghan air force did not fly planes into the Twin Towers, there was no reason to have a 20 year war over that. Tracking down and killing the supposed perpetrators, such as Bin Laden was all that was needed. The waste of thousands of US servicemen (in terms of death and disabled) and billions of dollars was not needed.
So we just gave up everything, literally, in Afghanistan in a humiliating retreat and just move on to another war.
All these supposed threats lead to nowhere as usual.
