Wow, the same source that told us in August that Ukraine had lost 55% of its military.

For a depleted military, it sure is kicking your butt

Nope, Soros doesn’t sponsor the site.

Why are you continuing to lie?

If Ukraine is doing so well in its fighting, why is Zelensky begging for NATO membership immediately?

These continuing articles by Ukraine propagandists sound like the ravings of Baghdad Bob during the Iraqi war.

“The Russian army has been vaporized by Ukraine a thousand times by now, yet the war goes on.”

“Yet the war goes on”, yet Russia still is fighting as it retreats, 7 months in, and yet Russia is still resisting.
Seven months later and Ukrainians are still meeting resistance as they advance.

Back in February, this is not the Russian bragging that we thought we would be hearing in October.

I see in the comments we are treated to yet another performance of the Putin Fanbois' latest mantra:

The Russian Army has not been defeated, and is certainly not being forced to retreat. These are all long planned, strategic, withdrawals, and the Russians have removed their men and material without interference by the Ukes, who have simply (and foolishly) occupied areas voluntarily evacuated by the Russians.

Followed immediately by:

The Ukes have sustained crippling, irreplaceable, losses of men and material in the fighting that we have just explicitly stated did not take place, while forcing the retreat we have just explicitly stated did not take place, making the victory we have just explicitly stated the Ukes did not win, a Pyrrhic one.

Repeat ad nauseum.

‘Ukrainian forces can smell victory’
Oct 2, 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df45YYgqeNY

After claiming back Lyman, Ukrainian troops can smell victory and are bursting to retake more territory.

Lyman is their biggest win on the battlefield in weeks, and the first since President Vladimir Putin declared this Russian territory.

“The mobilization shows that Russia has run out of a professional army,” Podolyak told Politico. “This army is being replaced by absolutely untrained people. A living resource has been thrown onto the front lines, and it will simply be exterminated.”

In Putin’s latest escalation in the war with Ukraine, the Russian president formally announced the annexation of four regions in eastern and southern Ukraine on Friday. However, Podolyak dismissed the move as unimportant.

“For our plans, [annexation] doesn’t matter,” he said.

Russian troops on Saturday withdrew from the city of Lyman in the Donetsk region — one of the four regions that Putin had laid claim to just the day before. Ukrainian officials had previously said they had surrounded the city.

Podolyak said in a separate interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that Ukraine will not participate in negotiations with Russia until its forces leave Ukrainian territory, including Crimea. Russia annexed that region in 2014.

“Russia does not want to negotiate – it only launches ultimatums,” Podolyak told La Repubblica. “If the Russian army leaves the entire territory of Ukraine, including Crimea, the negotiations could resume.”

Holding territory during this phase is not the RF’s only objective. Demilitarization is also a key objective. Letting the AFU “run to the knife” has resulted in enormous AFU losses, and tactical retreats preserving Allied lives have also given the AFU what can only be considered pyrrhic victories. With additional troops, the RF should be able to radically increase the army’s operational tempo.

Let's also point out that like the Wehrmacht in WWII - now the Ukrainians must now HOLD FAST in all this territory that they've recaptured. They don't have the option of any tactical OR strategic retreats...

Hero Ukraine Troops are fighting for Freedom and their homes. Inhuman Russian Savages fight because they are ordered to move or be shot. There is no such thing as Russian Patriotism. Orks are sub-human and fall to any strong counter attack. Soon Ukraine will have an army of five million men to drive out the Invaders and punish there war criminals! NATO will come into the war this winter and help to push out all the Orks and free Ukraine. All Madman Putin can do is rave and threaten Nuke war00No one will obey his commands. Beside, they may not even work? Ukraine could take a nuke and give one back to the Orks over Moscow. Even now our hero scientists are building dirty bombs to hit them hard—if they even think of using nukes. Russia need to move out—and take their collaborators with them! The Black Sea belongs to Greater Ukraine! When the war is done—Ukraine will get its REVENGE!

Ukrainian POW reveals torment at hands of Russians

Speaking to Sky’s Sally Lockwood, one former marine tells of being treated ‘like an animal’ - stripped, beaten, duct-taped, shocked and humiliated while being held captive.

Just like our own J6 detainees.

Nice try copying and pasting - but you've failed to tell all there is about Chapter 97 - it IS an aggregate site for Ukraine propaganda. I did my homework and already posted about it. They are also involved in Cyber Warfare against Russian sites.

Now you might be delighted about that since you're clearly biased toward Ukraine. But that does not help presenting this crap as if it's legit news sources.

It’s quite amazing the speed the Ukrainians are pushing the invaders back after taking Lyman. Apparently they rolled up yet another 35-40 km across a broad front within a few hours. The enemy isn’t even getting time to entrench new positions once they evac from the area.

What a joke! Putin, who can barely sit still, is supposedly the vital genius who will defeat Ukraine. Even his countrymen are mad at him.
