1. Russian losses in Zaporizhzhia region growing, wounded brought to civilian hospitals

https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3747877-russian-losses-in-zaporizhzhia-region-growing-wounded-brought-to-civilian-hospitals.html

The enemy continues to suffer losses in Zaporizhzhia direction and sets up hospitals for wounded soldiers in the healthcare facilities of Berdiansk and Melitopol.

“The enemy has been setting up hospitals in our social facilities for almost a year. The number of their casualties – killed and wounded – is constantly growing, especially in Zaporizhzhia front line, so they capture new facilities almost every week – schools, kindergartens

They lack all this infrastructure and, therefore, they use our healthcare infrastructure which served the civilian population,” Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov said during the United News telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to him, there are hospitals that treat civilians only in Melitopol and Berdiansk. However, it is impossible to get there without a Russian passport. Instead, the enemy brings its wounded to these hospitals massively.

2. Russian military base set on fire in Mariupol

In the temporarily occupied city of Mariupol, resistance forces set fire to a Russian military base.

Mariupol mayor’s adviser Petro Andriushchenko reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

“In Mariupol, the resistance liquidated the occupiers’ base by setting fire to it,” the report says.

He noted that at least ten occupiers were injured and taken to hospital. Three vehicle were destroyed, as well as a barrack.

As reported by Ukrinform, seven civilians were killed on the outskirts of Mariupol as a result of shooting between the invaders.

Ransomnote,

As a friendly reminder. Supporting Ukraine has nothing to do with Trump or Biden. What matters is that the West must stop the neo-soviets and their Globo-Islamo-Communist alliance (Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and the Islamic State of Iran) from invading or bullying our allies : Israel Ukraine and Taiwan.

America is respecting its signatures to protect Ukraine:
Signed in 1994 (the Budapest Memorandum) and in 2008 (the Strategic partnership Charter US / Ukraine).

Trump was the one who started to massively ship high-tech weapons to Ukraine. While Obama only sent blankets!

So which policy do you prefer?

A- The Trump / Biden policy of shipping weapons to Ukraine?
B- The Obama policy of helping Russia, by sending ZERO weapons to Ukraine?

If you answer is “B” then you are obviously an Obama supporter, and you should spend more time writing comments on pro-Obama forums.

The choice is yours.

Don’t you, at long last, feel ashamed and embarrassed for cheerleading the Nazis and deep state corrupt Laundromat in Ukraine?

What a silly post you made! Of course there are more than two alternatives!

For example, Trump is calling for peace. Conditions have changed  and so Trump's policy has changed. He's calling for Peace negotiations.

That’s his latest tactic: accusing those of us who are opposed to billions of our tax dollars going to a known money-laundering operation of being Obama supporters. He tried that same nonsense with me a couple of days ago. It’s a ridiculous little gaslightey twist. I figure it was issued in the latest set of talking points.

They must be getting pretty desperate if they’re having to use outlandish baloney like that.

VIDEO WITH SUMMARIZED COMMENTARY

13 Aug: Finally! Ukrainians PENETRATE RUSSIAN DEFENSE BY 3 KM IN 1 DAY | War in Ukraine Explained

Reporting from Ukraine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRZLLM2zmUk

⚠️ Watch RFU in 20 languages: https://www.youtube.com/@RFU/channels

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred thirty sixth day of the war.

Day 536: Aug 13

Today there is a lot of new from the Velyka Novosilka direction.

Here, after Ukrainians forces established total control over Staromaiorske, the next logical step became taking Urozhaine. Last time I told you that Ukrainians somewhat decreased the intensity of ground attacks in this region as they noticed how Russians were pumping the salient with reserves. Ukrainians understood that this was a perfect opportunity to cheaply destroy Russian forces with indirect fire.

Geolocated footage from the region shows that Ukrainians were tracking Russian reinforcements and then targeting forces concentrations. Recently, Ukrainian reconnaissance finally confirmed that Russians drained their reserves significantly, which is why Ukrainians started gradually increasing the intensity of ground operations once again.

At first, Ukrainian marines from the 35th and 36th Brigades launched a series of probing attacks from the north and northeast. The operation was very successful, and by midnight Ukrainian forces already gained a foothold in the northern part of the village. As could be seen from satellite footage, the northern part of the village actually consists of several strong points, as Russians dug several trench networks in advance.

Soon, Ukrainians tried to capitalize on their recent gains and started attacking other strong points nearby. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians rolled out their tanks and provided fire support from a distance. Geolocated footage confirms that Ukrainian tanks hunted down Russian reinforcements and prevented Russians from moving through the village freely. As a result, Russian forces did not receive the necessary help on time and had to retreat.

Because Russians only had trenches in the northern part of the village, once the defense line was breached, further movement of Ukrainian forces came much easier. Nonetheless, Ukrainians were not in a hurry to move further and preferred to stay inside the trenches in anticipation of heavy artillery fire, which was inevitably conducted. Instead, Ukrainians assumed a defensive stance in the northern part of the village while other marine units were preparing a surprise attack.

Suddenly, Ukrainians opened 2 more lines of attack: from the east and also from the west. As it turned out, Ukrainians hid pontoon bridges in the tree lines and, at night, created a passage over the river. Russian forces in the southern part of the village got almost encircled, which is why they rapidly abandoned their positions and fled.

At first Russian sources claimed that the settlement was still not lost and that Russian forces were preparing to make a counterattack in the northern part of the village. Later geolocated footage showed that Russians actually lost the settlement and tried to gain a foothold in a desperate counterattack, but their assault units were quickly annihilated with cluster munitions.

Russians analysts immediately started blaming the commanders for the collapse of the defense line. In general, the analysts blamed the whole Russian 37th Brigade for the failure to organize a coherent defense. It was revealed that the commanders failed to instill strict discipline and complained about the lack of troops, while in reality, half of the troops in the rear were constantly drunk.

Moreover, the cooperation between the troops was horrible, and Russian tank units frequently refused to provide fire support to the infantry on the zero line. That is why Russians lost the tactical heights around Staromaiorske and Urozhaine and wasted hundreds of troops in the meat grinder in the lowlands until it was physically impossible to continue doing so.

Ukrainians are already capitalizing on the Russian retreat from this village and have even established control over several strong points south of the village. The front line will continue collapsing, and the battle for Zavitne Bazhania has effectively already started.

In what way is Ukraine a “laundromat”?

Details please. Congressional testimony for instance.

Conversely, the details of the Biden deal are out, in Congressional testimony, and it was the Ukrainian government that was victimized by the Bidens. On behalf of a multinational company (Burisima) that is registered in Cyprus.

But you are. The real foreign money was coming in from China.
That was the kitty the Dems were using. Some also got Russian money, like Hilary’s famous foundation.

There was no hint of Ukraine being involved until 2018, and the details of that are out in congressional testimony. Which does not show “money laundering” by the Ukrainian government.

You are simply wrong on the facts, in every direction.

You cant deny the facts, sorry. They will remain long after you are among the worms.

Obama was working for the Chinese.

Biden used the power of the US government (its influence with the IMF) to lean on Ukraine (the government of Poroshenko) to get money from Burisima via his son.

US politicians are aggressively corrupt.

What else do you want to deny?

All of you indoctrinated people call your opinions “facts.”

Your accusations and twisted logic are silly and are rooted in anger and resentment. It’s why I cannot and do not take you seriously.

Ahem. US congressional testimony, as released by Mr. Comer and Mr.Grassley.
He has the facts of the Biden case, in part through FBI interviews (those bastards knew this all along).

“CHS told Zlochevsky that due to Shokin’s investigation into Burisma, which was made public at the time, it would have a substantial negative impact on Burisma’s prospective [initial public offering (IPO)] in the United States. Zlochevsky replied something to the effect of, ‘Don’t worry, Hunter will take care of all those issues through his dad,’”

Go ahead, deny that.
