If the front in this area is broken through, this will allow Russian forces to penetrate deeply into the enemy’s defenses in the most sensitive area, where many communications converge, important in terms of ensuring the stability of the Ukrainian group.

This situation threatens the collapse of the current state of defense and is fraught with a subsequent catastrophic collapse.

In order to prevent this, Kyiv constantly sends fresh forces to the area, which plug the gaps formed as a result of the active actions of the Wagner PMC.

#3  Stupid is pointing out foreign Russian citizens illegally in Crimea fleeing on ferries because the Kerch bridge seems in poor condition after Russia invaded Ukraine? That's stupid to you, Chaim?

It's intrinsic GOOD is what it is. Russia is an evil aggressor no less than Hitler's Germany and if you people don't watch out you'll end up as devastated as Germans were by 1946.

Here's something stupid for ya, Russian missiles laying in civilian regions, Russian wives and mothers raising hell cause Russia abandoned their men :
