Ukraine Intensifies Strikes Against Russian-Controlled Areas
WSJ ^ | 19-JUN-2022 | Yaroslav Trofimov

Ukraine intensified artillery and missile strikes against the Russian-controlled parts of the Donbas region, targeting weapons depots and military bases in an effort to stall a Russian offensive, while Moscow unleashed new salvoes of long-range missiles—some of them shot down by air defenses—on cities across Ukraine. ... That Russian offensive is likely to have been further stalled by a successful Ukrainian missile strike on an ammunition storage facility used by Russia and its proxy forces in the town of Krasny Luch, deep in the rear of Russian-controlled Luhansk. While the strike, using the Tochka-U ballistic missile, took place on Thursday, it was only over the weekend that the extent of the damage became clear, with footage showing a devastated wasteland littered with burned artillery shells. According to pro-Russian military correspondents, the Krasny Luch facility was the principal warehouse of Russian ammunition for the Severodonetsk offensive.

Well, isn’t that too bad...

“According to pro-Russian military correspondents, the Krasny Luch facility was the principal warehouse of Russian ammunition for the Severodonetsk offensive.”

Why would any country have just one supply depot in these days?

While the Orcs lost big ammo depot, Ukraine lost the last of its 3 oil refineries and last oil storage depots, plus the largest Polish oil company suffered Orc attacks on its logistic software making it very difficult to ship oil to Ukraine.

Nazism is more than a swastika.

For example Putin is a Nazi pos.

The American volunteers that disappeared during a battle in Kharkiv region, appear to be alive and in Russian captivity.

To this old artilleryman, “The Krasny Luch facility was the principal warehouse...” means that it is/was the closest supply depot to the Russian forces in that area.

Think of it in the terms of being a transshipment/dispersal point, where supplies arrive from several depots farther away and are sent to the nearby units needing them.

Orc, Mr Dog, is a historical term applied to the Mongols who invaded Europe and today’s Ukraine region in 1222 BC. It is especially apt in this case, since a great many of the troops are from the Russian Far East, a Mongol region.

If you intend to make any sort of defense, you cannot use the word Nazi, an automatic loss of credibility, unless you are talking about the historical period in Germany from 1920-1945.

Your other reference to the shelling of the Luhansk/Donbas regions is also misplaced, showing you know little or mostly nothing about the region - other than what your FSB masters have told you to write.

The guy on the left is a chemical weapons specialist, not a combat infantryman.

No, that is just what The Daily Beast labeled him as. In reality he is a Chilean-American who holds the same views as many of us America First supporters here do. That Ukraine is not worthy of our support, especially when our southern border is being left wide open to any & all illegal invaders that can make it to the border and cross it with zero impediment.

You people supporting Ukraine are, as the British used to say, penny wise but pound foolish.

When are you people going to wake up to reality? SMDH

Gonzalo Lira II is a fake and no amount of words will undue that. So you can stop pushing that particular line of BS.

“Gonzalo Lira is the joke. Look up his history. I have and explained it more than once.

Gonzalo Lira is a fraud.There is a long thread at Kiwifarms.net about him. For ten years, he has invented and reinvented his online presence as a fake economist, website thief, fake dating and pick up guru, fake MGTOW, fake alt-right, fake anti-globalist, fake pro-Russia, and fake international political expert. His goal is to attract attention to himself by being a contrarian and gadfly. “
