The Ukrainian advances around Kharkiv

Fierce Planet Posted on by

Over the past few days Ukrainian forces have moved swiftly, regaining several towns and a lot of land near Kharkiv. It is possible that this will be decisive in turning this war around at last. At the very least, Russian forces are looking very weak. From what you’ll read below, it is clear that Ukraine itself has no intention of stopping while Russians still occupy their land, but how Putin might react to these events is still uncertain. Faster and Furiouser: Ukraine’s Forces Take Back Kharkiv Oblast and More …the narrative in Ukraine has changed in huge way over the … Continue reading →

HIMARS

An image from occupied #Kherson where Ukrainian resistance is active and waiting for the #UkrainianArmy: "Occupier, go homeor HIMARS will show you the way" pic.twitter.com/AzQkLcqS5k — Victoria Amelina 🇺🇦 (@vamelina) July 27, 2022 From the BBC: West’s modern weapons halt Russia’s advance in Donbas The US and Europe have sent a number of HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems) to the Ukrainian army, and they are using the systems most effectively. Russia has very little in the way of defense against these very lethal, highly mobile truck-mounted rockets. Countries such as Poland and Estonia, also at risk of attack, have … Continue reading →

About that agreement on the Ukrainian grain shipments

Fierce Planet Posted on by

It does seem that mistrusting Russia is still the smartest position to take. #Ukraine 🇺🇦: Russian missiles struck the port of #Odesa today. By attacking the port the #Kremlin is making sure no captain dares to dock at the ports, meaning the Russians are actively sabotaging the grain deal they signed. pic.twitter.com/tB2rCdW5IU — Thomas van Linge (@ThomasVLinge) July 23, 2022

And in Ukraine

Putin is a pure terrorist. As night began to fall, rescuers brought lights and generators to continue the search. Worried family members, some close to tears and with hands over their mouths, lined up at a hotel across the street from the mall where rescue workers had set up a base. https://t.co/g4dbzBMl46 — tom balmforth (@BalmforthTom) June 27, 2022 6/28/22 ETA: Word is currently that 25 people are known dead, 21 others are missing.

One more reason the mid-terms are essential

Fierce Planet Posted on by

Because Russia thinks Republicans will win. This compilation of clips explains why the Russians think they're winning and don't need to negotiate. Spoiler: they're waiting for the GOP to prevail in midterms and abandon Ukraine. They're also encouraged by our media coverage—especially Tucker Carlson.https://t.co/h05qK1g2fs pic.twitter.com/XBw1G3VTHY — Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) June 9, 2022

Russia must be stopped

Fierce Planet Posted on by

Ukraine has an absolute right to exist, and to defend itself from Russian aggression. I want to be clear where I stand on that. The war on Ukraine is entirely Putin’s doing and could stop in an instant if Putin simply packed up his troops and went home. Now that it’s clear Putin’s attempt to overtake Kyiv has failed there are fewer dramatic images to show, and the long slog of war in eastern Ukraine near Donetsk will clearly be ongoing, perhaps for a very long time. This isn’t a subject I feel competent to discuss, for the most part, … Continue reading →

Self-defense

Fierce Planet Posted on by

I continue to believe that Ukraine has an absolute right to self-defense, and to territorial integrity. I hope the NATO states respond as quickly as possible with the necessary weapons. Without additional weaponry, this war will become an endless bloodbath, spreading misery, suffering, and destruction. Mariupol, Bucha, Kramatorsk – the list will be continued. Nobody will stop Russia except Ukraine with Heavy Weapons. #ArmUkraineNow pic.twitter.com/miSOL5zvuA — Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) April 13, 2022
