Polish general dies deep in Ukraine

Warsaw says Polish Brigadier General Adam Marczak died of ‘unexplained natural causes’ while Moscow claims to hit Chasiv Yar command center secretively hosting senior NATO officials.

Natural causes? I guess so, his heart quit beating after Russia put those missiles down the chimney of that bunker.

russkies lost 12 tanks and 8 bmp's for a failed assault.

Putler wants another 150,000 peasants for this springs conscription. you know why? because he lost 150,000 army personal due to death and wounding. more meat for the Ukraine grinder.

Hundreds of thousands in Ukraine’s Odesa region were left without power Sunday after a Russian drone caused a blaze at an energy facility.

170,000 homes suffered power outages as a result of the attack, said Ukraine’s largest private electricity operator, DTEK.

🤡🤡🤡🤡
Key developments on March 30-31:

Zelensky: Ukrainian retreat looms without US support, ATACMS are ‘the answer’
80% of DTEK's energy capacity damaged, destroyed after Russia's March attacks
Putin signs decree to conscript 150,000 Russians, Ukrainians under occupation for military service
Navy: Russia withdraws 'most valuable' ships from occupied Crimea
France to send Ukraine air defense missiles, armored vehicles
Ukraine’s armed forces could soon be forced to retreat further if U.S. military aid continues to be delayed, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, as he called on Washington to provide more long-range missiles to strike airfields in occupied Crimea.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Zelensky said his military has been unable to plan counteroffensive operations as they do not know if they’ll have the weapons required to conduct one.

“If you are not taking steps forward to prepare another counteroffensive, Russia will take them,” he said, adding: “That’s what we learned in this war: If you don’t do it, Russia will do it.”

After an unsuccessful counteroffensive last year, Russian forces now hold a theater-wide initiative which Ukraine is finding increasingly difficult to contain, largely due to a lack of ammunition.

This was starkly illustrated in February when Russia took Avdiivka, forcing Ukrainian troops to retreat from the town and accelerate the building of defensive lines further back on Ukrainian territory.

“We are trying to find some way not to retreat,” Zelensky said, and added that after the fall of Avdiivka “we have stabilized the situation because of smart steps by our military.”

But he warned the wider situation is grim without further military aid.

“If there is no U.S. support, it means that we have no air defense, no Patriot missiles, no jammers for electronic warfare, no 155mm artillery rounds,” he said.

“It means we will go back, retreat, step by step, in small steps.”

As well as inching forward on the front lines, Russian forces have also escalated missile and drones attacks on Ukraine’s cities and civilian infrastructure.

In addition to facing dwindling supplies of air defense missiles, Ukraine also has a lack of long range missiles with which it could target the air bases from which Russian bomber aircraft take off.

AS of this moment, Gaylenskiy is no longer the legitimate president of the Ukraine. Although even this legitimacy is a joke, given the way he became president.

But today at 00:00, cuckraine time, as if in a fairy tale, he will turn from a drug-addicted clown with the status of president into a mere drug-addicted clown.

No coincidence that this will happen on the April Fools’ Day.

And the fact that although he would allow no election ta pick a real President, he will remain in charge of the country on April 1 is an even greater mockery of the nation.

more russkies troops going into the meat grinder? i wonder what the ukraines' will make? sausage, kielbasa, bratwurst....mmmmmm i'm getting hungry now!!!!

Putin Calls Up 150,000 for Military Service.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a directive for the regular spring conscription, ordering 150,000 citizens into military service, according to a document published on the Kremlin’s website on March 31. Every Russian man aged 18 or older must commit to a year of military service or undergo equivalent training during their higher education program.This comes after Russia extended the age limit for conscription from 27 to 30 in July. The new law took effect on January 1, 2024. Even though conscription is still a contentious issue in Russia, it continues to be executed twice a year. With Russia’s war with Ukraine raging, 130,000 were called to service in the autumn conscription campaign and 147,000 last spring.

The latest conscription decree comes as Russia appears to be stepping up its efforts in Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine regions have seen a rise in casualties due to Russian strikes, with the city of Kharkiv being heavily targeted. Strikes also affected Lviv, a region far from the front lines where rescue operations are ongoing after cruise missile hits. Russia’s Belgorod region suffered casualties due to alleged Ukrainian shelling.Independent verification of these military movements from either party has not been ascertained. These developments have sparked further international concern around the escalating tensions and impact on civilians living in these regions. Also adding to fears of the conflict’s escalation are the increasing incidents of Western interference in the war on behalf of Ukraine. Following his victory in the March presidential election, Putin warned such interference could spark a third world war.

This might be the most accidentally introspective post in the thread.

A joint investigation by 60 Minutes, the Insider, and Der Spiegel strongly suggests that the Kremlin has waged a sustained kinetic campaign directly targeting US government personnel both in the United States and internationally for a decade, with the likely objective of physically incapacitating US government personnel.


The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is intensifying efforts to falsely implicate Ukraine in the March 22 Crocus City Hall terrorist attack while denying any Islamic State (IS) responsibility or involvement in the attack.
Russian authorities are taking measures to further crack down against migrant communities in Russia following the Crocus City Hall attack.
Russian forces recently made confirmed advances near Avdiivka and in the east (left) bank of Kherson Oblast amid continued positional engagements along the entire line of contact on April 1.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) continues to reassure the Russian public that Russian military conscripts will not deploy to most of occupied Ukraine nor participate in combat operations in Ukraine amid the start of the spring semi-annual military conscription call-up that started on April 1.

Ukraine will have to ‘begin slow retreat’ without more US aid

Ukraine will be forced to begin a slow retreat without American military aid, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.In an interview with The Washington Post, the Ukrainian leader spoke of the military struggles facing the army as they run low on ammunition

The end is near for the ukes.
What a waste of lives, yet there are a few here that have no clue and think sacrificing ukes is a good thing.

Said it before, there is no winner in this tragedy.
yet the US president keeps encouraging a lost cause.

But thank God there are no more mean tweets.

Canuks who have no history of fighting for their Nation should stick to reviewing bagged milk brands and how good Justin's wanker tastes.

Let the Ukraine decide how hard to fight for freedom, they don't seem close to quiting. Just need help with more bullets to slay more Orcs.

Your need to cower and grovel before authority is not everyone's need.

Deal with your shit political issue and maybe then you can speak on the political situation in the Greatest Country Ever.

Thanks for your attention on this matter.

BAM !!

Mic drop.

Mr. Burns: You do realize you are aligned with Resident Biden and the most corrupt elements of the U.S. government don't you? In support of a country more corrupt than Russia?

Come on over to our side.

That bitch is on Brandon's side on bump stocks.

And ice cream, apparently.

They's bros.
