Remember NO Russian regular army fought this battle.

You're right!

Chechen soldiers won Mariupol for Russia
Wagner won Bahkmut for Russia...

Russia army is actually reserved waiting for NATO to join the war before unleashing hell on them.

I use to laugh when I hear the western media saying Russia has lost so many soldiers!

people like you are very hard to convince inspite of all evidence in front of you. Did you ask America, how many of their soldiers died in Iraq and Afghanistan?


God1000:
How many Russian soldiers have died trying to capture Bakhmut for six months?

What a shame for the so-called superpower country

Meanwhile this is the latest news on Bakhmut

Still doesn't help Russia or its reputation with its neighbour or with anybody.

An invasion of a democratic and sovereign state is unacceptable.

Russian is currently suffering serious sanctions. if they keep this up they will be completely isolated.

The USA invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, and people still call them "world police" and with no sanctions whatsoever.

I think Ukrainian soldiers purposely held on to the city just to ensure a lot of Russian soldiers are killed because Bakhmut isn't that important

And what sanctions are you talking about? Most of their neighbors still depends on them on a couple of things. Most still heavily depends on Russia for gas, even Germany. Recently they turned off a major supply line just to flex a bit and a lot of European countries went into panic mode.

Soldiers die in war, my friend. That is why it is called battle. It is not where kids play in sand.

Bakhmut is insignificant and of no strategic gain to Russia. But they needed the win to PEPPER the west. This isnt just a win. It is more like flushing 'Billions of dollar' invested by US, UK and the rest of war-mongers, down the toilet. You are simply a pro russian

This is not just the slippers wearing, Ak-47 wielding untrained fighters US bullied in Afghanistan. We are talking Ukrainian army, the second most trained army in the world, armed with weapons, military intelligence, secret fighters from almost 24 countries. Guess what, they lost to a single Mercenary troop.

Money wasted and Confidence level reduced to -0.344.

Creeper:


More reason why you need to study it because it’s a near-peer war that’s indirectly a peer because a lot of NATO regular forces and Special Forces are actually in Ukraine - unlike the Giant vs Ant war the world has been subjected to in the last 4 decades.

This war provides an insight into what will likely happen when super powers collide (since neither side would’ve air superiority), how they will shape battlefield in real time, how they adapt tactics in real time, how useful drones are for reconnaissance, the importance of artillery, intelligence gathering, modern EW, battle of special forces, etc.

You can’t weaken a military when it’s not depleted. Conversely, since last year, Russian forces are actually more experienced and hardened than NATO forces because they have first hand experience in a real war - not the shenanigans against cow herders.
Bros listen to urself na. Russia couldn't achieve air superiority for one day even though Ukraine doesn't have modern aircraft, doesn't have long range cruise missile. It is just this yr that sm countries gave them air defenses batteries. Russia military is depleted already. Mark my word, Putin will declare more mobilization soon if the war continues. Putin's army has been exposed, demystified, depleted and weakened by the Ukrainians

Please can someone summarize the cause of this war for me, I mean why they fighting? I used to support Ukraine, but it's like people are not supporting them, they say something like Nazi, I supported Ukraine because I thought Russia was just looking for where to test their missiles, but it's like there's more to that.


And please, those houses in rubbles, I believe civilians were evacuated before bringing excavator to pull them down

In lay man explanation:
They are fighting because the US insisted on building biological labs and military base in Ukraine. And Russia couldn't just go to sleep and allow its biggest enemy install weapons of mass destruction inside its 'neigbours house.'

Same thing the US years back, almost nuked Cuba for. When it allowed Russia build military base in Cuba, which borders US.. Uptill now Cuba still suffer hefty sanctions. They cant even import a coke. A simple coke.

You see. The US is an hypocrite. Isnt it?

You have not said anything yet.

Look at the available yardstick of recent history.

America lost a war against a bunch of AK47 -wielding mullahs in Afghanistan. It took the Americans over 20years to loose the war.

American and their Saudi proxies have succumbed to defeat by the Houthis in Yemen, despite bringing their best war machines to fight scores of khat-chewing sand niggers.

American and their Jihadist proxies have lost a “regime-change” war in Syria. Americans are clinging on to a few oil fields in eastern syria. Soon they will be forced out of that country in defeat.

The list goes on….

if 24 nations have supplied the Talibans more weapons and aid just like how USA and NATO are aiding Ukraine do you think USA would have lasted 3 years in Afghanistan??

Or probably if at least 10 European and America nations came to the aid of the Biafrans do you think Nigeria would have the war

Make una shift abeg or do you think it is only Ukraine Russia is fighting
if 5 African countries and just 2 European countries supported Biafra Nigeria for no win that war and they didn't win either

Lol, Ukraine had one of the most sophisticated and complex air defense in the world prior to the war. It had dozens of S-300, BUK and Pantsir that formed multiple layers of air defense. Its air defense complex was very similar to Russia’s albeit Russia has S-350, S-400 and the new S-500.

S-300 is more effective than American Patriot and Russia just demystified the American hype by knocking out 50% of what they supplied Ukraine in one day.

You don’t fly your jets freely in an airspace that’s well defended like that unless you want to take huge losses. For example: the US lost 2,251 aircraft in Vietnam. You know why? - Vietnam had sophisticated air defense. Russia can’t throw caution in the wind, especially since it isn’t a full blown war (Russia is yet to declare war).

This isn’t Afghanistan or Iraq - this is similar to Vietnam and Korean wars. And Russian regular forces are still intact. They haven’t done much fighting and I believe they’re playing chess whilst waiting for NATO’s next move.

Wrong. This definitely a victory by the Wagner PMC, but the Russian VDV actually partook in the final assaults on the citadel and the western quarters. Equally keep in mind that heavy armour, artillery, and combat air support were provided by the Russian military.

Bakhmut went down, just like Mariupol city. The hardest and brutal way possible, so bloody that it only exist in horror movies.

Zelensky, aided by the western media propaganda were covering up the daily loses there just like Mariupol. They never admitted to the ongoing slaughter of the Ukranian forces daily. Instead they covered it up for cheap chestbeating in the media. They kept sending the soldiers to their death.

Bllions of dollar worth of military equipment, aid, assistance from US, UK and other war-mongers ,flushed down the drain. Even the medicore overhyped Patrotiic-missile system couldn't save anyone. No wonder US backed-Ta!wan President stated it clearly yesterday, that they will never go to war with Ch!na no matter what. Everybody is finally seeing the reality in Ukraine. If US succeed in pushing anyone to war with its neighbour. They are on their own.

Another fascinating thing is that Zelensky is currently on world tour presently, from Arab nation to G7 Nations; begging for more weapons. More billions of dollar to waste, more lives of innocent soldiers to sacrifice just to please his puppeteer.


This isnt just a win for Russia. It is a win for world peace.

Did Ukraine started the war? "Win for world peace"? Are you okay?

US struggled with Japan too. It struggled with ragtag Communist militias in Vietnam and was defeated. Struggled with Korea and China during the Korean war and it was defeated ending the Korean war with stalemate despite the use of its vast airpower.

Same US Struggled against goat herders in Afghanistan and fled overnight to the shock of the world. War is no joke but Russia has done excellently well with its war against 32 member NATO bloc arming Ukraine to the teeth. Even a military strategist understand what is going on here. Now that Bakhmut has fallen let's see the next billions US and NATO are ready to pour again.

Biafra, a country not backed by a single power fought Nigeria that was backed by UK and their allies, and Soviet Union and their allies, for three years. Something Iraq and Ukraine backed by the entire west couldn't achieve. If Nigeria should fight another civil war without foreign support, Biafra will put her to rout in months.
Who told you Biafra was not backed by a single country? Go read your history book.
