Ukraine garrison evacuating Lisichansk – Russian or Lugansk forces now reportedly INSIDE the city; also, Karma strikes as Russians claim to bag the bearded Georgian merc shown in the infamous, prisoner throat-slitting video from March 31st……
Is this the large Uke salient that has been there for weeks in SE Ukraine?
I wouldn’t consider a Georgian Merc to be a Uke even if he is fighting with them.
Russia made a lot of enemies in Georgia too. Doesn’t make the murder of a POW right.
Putin is the opposite of Dale Carnegie.
“Putin is the opposite of Dale Carnegie.”
Even while already possessing the world’s largest WMD stockpiles (a good percetage of it in Kaliningrad), the RUbes attacked UA with a better than 10/1 advantage on 24 FEB, even while the RUbe Navy “schwab’s” surrounded Great Britain, and loitered and covered down on much of NW European coastal AOR, (even while the RUbe Air Force flew armed planes directly over Finland, Sweden, Norway, and the Baltic region. At the same time, they did in fact basically blockade much of the Baltic Sea, Eastern Med, and Black Sea.
In the Eastern Med, we actually have never seen the the particular RUbe Navy formation before.
And this after their January 140 RUbe naval ship exercise off the Irish and British Coast, and another 120 plus naval ship (plus 60 + RUbe Air Force) exercise which stretched from the Coast of Oman to the Gulf of Aden.
By the way, I have seen photos of a couple RUbe naval ships literally loitering at the 12nm territorial boundary of Britain from late January.
Additionally, we also had a few sub appearances just off our East Coast (as well as the Japanese Coast) at the same time. I don’t know all the details, but these were probably two of the (normally) 9 nuclear subs with the RUbe Navy hybrid battle group associated with the nuclear battle-cruiser “Peter the Great”, which ports out of La Orchila, Venezuela. (And contrary to recent news, it has been calling La Orchila its second home for decades).
Not sure of all associations, but the RUbe Navy were there and at Havanna, and possibly Veracruz at the same time.
There is actually a whole lot more than put here, but put it altogether, and we have quite a picture.
There is little question, at a minimum, what we are seeing with the Moscow/Bejing/Pyongyang/Tehran axis may well force a more formal unification of Brussels and DC’s FVEY.
Precisely an outcome spoken of by Dr Quigley before 1966.

Lot’s of luck, all avenues of escape are now covered with artillery fire.
Very good and somewhat different interview of Scott Ritter in which he offers insights about Russia which Americans could greatly benefit from.

The Truth About Russia And The Ukraine Crisis with Scott Ritter

US artillary did the same to the Germans in WWII. (No drone footage however).
Judging by the huge pocket Vlad is isolating and closing, the war cheerleaders should prepare for another Mariupol x 10….with no usable roads nor vehicles for the Ukies to utilize in an organized retreat and Ivan’s devastating artillery, I expect NOT a slaughter but instead mass surrender by Ukies.
But of course the western MSM will never report ( nor is) the huge amounts of Ukies being taken off the field by KIA, WIA, MIA, POW, Desertions, Illness, and Surrender.
Biden’s desperate wishes of trying to weaken Vlad down to the last Ukie soldier is demilitarizing the Ukies. Do remember, wars always end….and it appears the Ukies will have only Grandma’s and children left when hostilities do cease.
The troops that escape the current cauldron are leaving fortified positions that were built from 2014 until last year.
Many or most of the best-trained and combat-experienced UAF soldiers are dead or otherwise out of the fight (wounded or captured.)
Their fallback positions are only cities, not prepared entrenchments, bunkers etc. The rapid collapse of Lysychansk shows that there won’t be any more bitter Mariupol battles to the end.
The new UAF troops are conscripts rushed into battle. They won’t stand and fight like the Azovites in Mariupol. Where they do stand and fight, in cities, Russians will bypass them where possible and cut them off from resupply.
Kharkiv, Dnipro and Odessa are on the table. If Kiev doesn’t negotiate soon, they will lose all Black Sea access.
But...but...Ukraine is winning!
Impressive!
If Ukraine is winning, why aren’t they ending the war and getting Russia to the negotiating table so we can end putins price hike?
MSM coverage of this war has almost vanished, as the press corps salivates and the TV yakking heads swoon over the latest Tokyo Rose, aka Cassidy Hutchinson, as she wrestles the headlines away from Zelensky.
Ah, the fickle finger of fate!
You should ask Brandon or his ditzy press secretary.
“The troops that escape the current cauldron are leaving fortified positions that were built from 2014 until last year”.
An excellent point nobody bothers with.

Great observation. Much written during the Ukie civil war 2014- present about the fortified Ukie triple lined trench systems and hardened areas. They are now over run.
Once Donbass is rolled up, the Ukies must retreat across the flat rolling plains all the way to the Dniepner….sitting ducks in a barrel is an understatement. Further complicating their retreat, not much Ukie transport left, no rail lines, many arrived to the Donbass in civilian automobiles, documented. There will NOT be any “ organized, orderly” retreat, as much as the corrupted western MSM will advertise. Remember Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow?
