Russia's Donbas offensive advances as troops
capture Kreminna

Russian troops have reportedly captured the east Ukraine town of Kreminna while local authorities have urged residents in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions to evacuate .

“Currently, control over the city of Kreminna is lost, street fights are taking place,” Luhansk regional governor Sergiy Gaiday said in a
statement on his official Telegram channel on Monday night.
“Russians shot dead people trying to leave Kreminna,” he added, claiming four people had been killed as they tried to evacuate in their own vehicles on Monday morning.

Homes, buildings, a sports complex and other facilities were also destroyed as a result of shelling in the town as well as in the nearby towns of
Rubizne and Lysychansk.
In Lysychansk, the building of the regional patrol police department was destroyed, resulting in the hospitalisation of six policemen, Gaiday added.


I strongly urge people to evacuate ... There are no safe places left in the region - evacuate, we can still save you.”
The head of Kreminna’s military administration, Oleksandr Dunets, told Radio Donbas: “The fighting lasted three days and Russia used a large number of armoured vehicles to attack the city.”

Kreminna as well as nearby Rubizhne, Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, have withstood heavy shelling from both sides for several days on the frontline. Rubizhne, which had more than 60,000 residents before the war began, came under intense Ukrainian artillery and mortar fire on Monday.

Kreminna, with a pre-war population of nearly 20,000 people, is around 50km (31 miles) northeast of Kramatorsk, the region’s administrative centre, and is a strategic target for invading Russian forces.

WASHINGTON, April 19. /TASS/. The US sent four planes loaded with weapons to Ukraine over the weekend as part of a new $800 million package of military assistance, one more plane was to arrive on Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told a briefing on Monday.

"There were four planes that arrived, of military assistance, over the course of the weekend. Another one is supposed to arrive today, if it hasn’t already," she said adding that this is the assistance from the $800 million package the President had announced earlier.

"So just to give you a sense of our efforts to continue to get more assistance in," she added.
On April 13, US President Joe Biden declared the decision to give Kiev another $800 million in military aid, including 11 Mi-17 helicopters, 200 armored personnel carriers, 18 155-mm howitzers and 40 artillery shells, 300 barrage munitions Switchblade, 500 missiles for Javelin launchers and thousands of other anti-tank systems.

Russia’s army destroyed a large depot of US and European weapons recently delivered to Ukraine near the western city of Lviv, Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Monday.

“The Russian Armed Forces destroyed the logistics center and the large consignments of foreign weapons that were in it, which arrived in Ukraine from the US and European countries over the past 6 days,” state news agency TASS cited Konashenkov as saying.
He added that Russian planes conducted an attack on the depot using high-precision missiles.

“Missile troops and artillery hit 331 military facilities. Nine command posts, a warehouse of missile and artillery weapons, as well as 315 enemy manpower concentration areas in the areas of Popasnaya and Novomayorskoye settlements were hit. As a result of the strike, up to 120 nationalists and nine units of military equipment,” he said.

Russia’s Monday attacks come as Moscow continues to build up its forces in the east and south of Ukraine in preparation to launch its ground offensive on the Donbas.

if you said that in the olden days that people used to keep their goods and you can pick it and drop money. And stealing came with the white man. How come there's documented evidence of people taking oath at shrines for stealing and other immoral acts.

Did the white man stay from afar and cause that too?

or you which I presumed you don't go into your neighbors house to take what doesn't belong to you. Why didn't the White man influence you to do the opposite?

Take responsibility for your actions!!!!

Did they force you guys at gun point to vote Buhari. How come they can impose Buhari on a two terms presidency but can't get the same person to sign off on LGBT rights.

Common sense isn't common but sha you're a Nigerian, known to blame everything else instead of taking responsibility. Things don't go your way, it must be witchcraft. You do something wrong, it's the devil

Obama recruited UK, German PM and French president against Good luck buharis only obstacle. Used Western media propaganda to tarnish goodluck and sell Buhari to Nigerians and the world. Sent his secretary of state to meet with 19 Northern governors, also invited them to Washington. Told them the benefit of all of them coming together to ensure that Buhari, a northerner like them emerges as president. Gave Buhari his campaign management team to push him through and the company used the propaganda strategy to recruit Nigerians against Good luck and present Buhari as a saint. Used Jega against Goodluck and used threat to stop goodluck from changing Jega even after it became obvious he was biased. I can go on and on. This is the height of impossible ever witnessed by a sovereign country from an outside entity.

On the second term, Buhari can easily rig himself in with incumbency power. Go and upgrade your brain because your thinking is very low

systematic stealing is when a system of corruption has been created and you cant get around it. if you try to get around it they will kick you out. before anything can move you must pay 10 percent kickback or egunje. before you are offered contract you must kickback 10 percent or you will not get it etc etc. thats systemic. isolated incident is one guy went to steal his neigbors oranges

so Obama was so jobless, he decided to now constitute BMC team, pull money from US treasury to finance Buhari's campaign, funded OccupyNigeria protest. Kidnapped Chibok girls while demanding for their release.
After all that sent US special forces to intimidate electorates to vote Buhari.

Then an anti-Obama won the next presidency of USA and was hush about it. Do you now see that sense is far from you?

RUSSIA: KNOW THE TRUTH AND LET IT SET YOU FREE
March 24, 2022 EssaysOlufemi Olu-kayodeLeave a comment

Vladimir Putin
If you insist on talking or writing about the war in the Ukraine kindly get your facts right and do not repeat the one-sided, subjective and monotonous clap trap and fairy tales that CNN and the other international media networks are continuously churning out.

Any student of modern history will tell you that the Russians were never the villains when it comes to acts of barbarity committed against sovereign nation states and against the oppresed people of the world.

That notorious title goes to the Americans, the Western European nations and their allies.

More than any other nation on earth the Russians supported the liberation struggle of African, South American, South-East Asian and Third World countries and fought against colonialism, neo-colonialism, imperialism, apartheid and racial and religious suppression and bigotry.......

It's eye opening. To be sincere i never knew any of this before now. So for the sake of lives being lost in thousands in monthly bases in Nigeria, kindly read till the end. No wonder TRUMP let the cat out of the bag too early. And now they are building the biggest embassy in the world in Nigeria. Building the biggest ware house in a village, what would itean

Bar1941:
Putin should be humble enough to accept defeat, the fact little Ukraine is strong enough to last this long is victory on it own. Russia is obviously not ready or equipped to be Europe power not to talk of world power.

I think Africa was worse before the coming of the whitemen.

We killed ourselves, ate ourselves, walked without clothes, died of diseases, upheld irrational/stupid beliefs (eg, killing of twins), among may other things.

The white men brought sanity and organization. They brought civilization, health, and education that you and I now enjoy.

If not for them, what would have happened to us?
