🇺🇦🇷🇺🚨‼️ Russia took the stronghold Ugledar!
The AFU, having received permission from their command, whoever wanted and could, broke out of the city at night (with losses, of course), which Russian units began to clear out in the morning.

🇷🇺 Another Russian flag has been raised in Ugledar, this time in the northeastern side of the town.
Soon the whole town will be Russian again! pic.twitter.com/DGG7F8ZkkE

Invading Kursk with their best soldiers was quite frankly the stupidest move any military has made in all of recorded history.
It’s all falling apart now.
The pigs are on the run.
What the hell were they thinking with that silly shit?
Whose idea was it? Was America trying to sabotage them?
Russian troops have reached the centre of Vuhledar, a bastion on strategic high ground in eastern Ukraine’s industrial Donbas region that had resisted Russian assaults since Moscow’s full-scale invasion, a regional Ukrainian official said on Tuesday.
Footage posted to social media showed Russian soldiers waving a flag from atop a bombed-out multi-storey building and unfurling another flag on a metal spire on a roof. Reuters determined the footage matched street patterns of Vuhledar.
It’s truly hilarious how much these scenes look like something out of Fallout. Seriously: two of these pictures are from Ugledar, the other is from Fallout.
You can’t tell which is which, can you?
Other images showed smoke rising over the ruins of the once small mining town, now a deserted and devastated battlefield where Ukrainian units had held off previous armoured Russian assaults through 2-1/2 years of war.
…
Russian military bloggers, including a group of military analysts who ran the prominent Rybar Telegram channel, touted the capture of the city, which could speed up the advance of Russian forces in Donbas.
Vuhledar has strategic significance because of its high ground and its location near the junction of the two main fronts, in eastern and southern Ukraine. Russian forces reached the outskirts last week and have since intensified their push.
…
Since August, Moscow’s troops have advanced at their fastest rate for more than two years in eastern Ukraine, despite Ukrainian forces mounting a surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
Despite it? More like “because of it.”
The balance on the frontline was obviously delicate, and the Ukraine at maximum force was going for a stalemate with the line not moving much. Then they put all their best men on this kiddy adventure movie in Kursk that no one has even tried to explain in a serious way.
When this is all over, I’m going to write a screenplay (and hopefully direct) a Naked Gun style slapstick comedy film about the Kursk invasion.
Oleksandr Kovalenko, a Ukrainian military analyst, said that about 2,000 to 3,000 Russian troops were in the town, attacking from three different directions.
“We will not be able to hold on in Vuhledar in these conditions,” Kovalenko told Reuters, saying the decision to retreat from Vuhledar should be taken quickly.
Full control over Vuhledar would help Moscow’s troops to improve their logistics by using railways more actively, easing their further advance in the region and giving them positions on heights from which to fire artillery.
The lines have collapsed. Or maybe more accurately, they are collapsing.
There is not much further that this can be dragged out. The US is already redefining “surrender” as “victory.”
The Americans are going all-in for Israel and they can’t keep pissing away resources on this pointless boondoggle.
It is reported that Ugledar has officially become "strategically unimportant" and the AFU has retreated to the North to Bogoyavlenka. pic.twitter.com/pv4tgrYmxQ

The one thing that continually impresses me is that Soviet concrete. Jesus, that shit’s tough.
If those were American high-rises, they’d have been rendered to dust.
I’ve travelled to eastern Europe and even lived in one of those Soviet era tenament buildings. Believe me, they are as nasty on the inside as they are on the outside. Nearly everything about those buildings are shit. Many don’t even have ground wires. If the concrete in any of those buildings surpasses western standards, that’s a fluke[*]. Also, I’m no materials scientist but I imagine that areas without a pronounced freeze/thaw cycle have longer lasting concrete.
[*]If I’m wrong I’m wrong. I’m admittedly talking out of my ass, but my impression based on what I personally experienced is very strong.
Since the Ukrainians repulsed four or five previous Russian attempts to capture Ugledar over the past two years, its seizure was scarcely easy. The Ukrainian/NATO decision to attack in the Kursk Oblast was probably an attempt to capture the nuclear power plant, which was highly unlikely, but still a valid objective. The error was in hanging onto territory with little strategic value, thus depriving other fronts of needed troops, once the operation had failed to obtain its objectives.
I don’t even understand what those hohols are fighting for. To completely destroy their country? Most Ukrainians want to stay in Germany, Czechia etc. In fact, for them the war was the best thing that ever happened — they got to move to Western Europe and even receive money for existing.
They will never come back and their children will speak German, further slavizing the former Deutsch-land, while emptying the Jew-kraine.
Cue Zelensky offering an armistice if Russia cedes Kursk, Crimea, and Belarus and pay 1 trillion ruble reparations.

It took almost 3 years to advance few kilomters, is that supposed to be the greatest army in the world? Even if backed by US/NATO/EU, Hezbollah is doing a better job against the same goons in West Asia.
Or is it just another video game for the masses?
That penis piano playing prick is not going to be offering much in the future. I don’t understand why the Russians don’t take that little runt out. I little prick is a gangster. I mean shit they destroyed Hilter and his regime didn’t they.
There’s that good old ‘ ..full-scale invasion’ again. The presstitutes must have been warned that using ANY other descriptor would end a lucrative career as a paid liar, stooge and hypocrite. KISMET-Keep It Simple To Meet Employment Terms.
Kursk was not a military operation per se. It was a grift gambit for more money to launder offshore.
Zalensky’s time as a criminal gangster racketeer is coming to an end, and one more wave of western money just might have come from the pretense that Russia was on its heels.
Is Helmer Russian?
If not, how can he live in Russia and report about Russia?
Can an American oak just pack its roots and move into the Taiga?
Your recommendation (Helmer) demonstrates missing basics (with most).
Ukraine will collapse in 2 more weeks. Random town nobody ever heard of (OK that’s a lie, I never heard of it before January 2023, I spent the next 1.5 years laughing at the Russians dying around here) falls.
How will this stop the ethnic replacement of Russians in Russia, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburg?
All I’m saying is, it would be a shame if such vast resources remained in the hands of the coming churka-slavic state of the Russian Federation. It would be better if the Chinese took control of Siberia or better yet, the Jews who run Russia just signed over the resources there to China legally.
Attacking Kursk was a desperate show which even many grunts would know had little chance at success…
But it seems that western Europe doesn’t want them. It seems from reading that Poland doesn’t even want them… I just wonder if Russia will take kharkov and odessa as well… I don’t see any other way.
